I had to upgrade some OL6 VMs to OL7 VMs running Oracle DBs and Apps (on OVMM no less). There was no appetite for buying additional storage, or restoring the environments with RMAN. Luckily, everything had been installed under /u01 which was on its own virtual disk.

So I built a new VM as OL7 (same hostname, etc.), installed the pre-req RPMs for Oracle DB, disconnected the virtual disk from the OL6 and attached it to the new OL7, synced users and home dirs - and it only bloody worked.

“Deplorables for Trump?”

I don’t want to be a pain, but it’s not “basically Mint running on an M1 iMac.” it’s Asahi/Fedora running Cinnamon. Also, you’ve connected an external monitor for an M1 iMac? Do you mean it’s an M1 Macbook instead?

I’m out of the loop. What’s going on?

Fuck u/spez

I mean, I get it, but that’s also not a thing of git, right? Just because GitHub does something doesn’t mean every other hosting provider needs to. If your code review process is to comment upon specific commits, maybe it’s the code review process that’s wrong?

Feel you there. 4 hours here. All of them cloud instances whereby getting acces to the actual console isn’t as easy as it should be, and trying to hit F8 to get the menu to get into safe mode can take a very long time.

That’s…Awesome! Thank you!

Same, seen the AI generation and was out.

Sandboxed typically restricts a program from being able to read/write to various areas (think an app isn’t allowed to use the network, or access USB devices, or it’s only allowed access to a certain directory in the filesystem).

Containerised is a way of virtualising an app/apps so that they can be easily distributed to run once or thousands. They can and are also sandboxed to different degrees.

Sandboxed rather than containerised I think.

Ok, puppet

I mean looking at your post history this ridiculous comment makes sense.

For those, like me, who don’t know what Nakba means.

Sooo, I guess a couple of things.

What error do you get when you try to boot it not in rescue mode?

Was your /home directory a separate partition?

I don’t think networking neccesarily starts in rescue mode, so you getting a response that 127.0.0.1:8118 is unreachable probably makes sense (your tor proxy will rely on the network service afterall)

I’ve been ‘told off’ so many times by the internet for my cat and grep combos that I still do it, then I remove the cat, it still works, and I feel better. shrug

Quite a few kernel processes begin with k as well.

Why do you think it’s invasive? How do you quantify which providers are less invasive?

If you think that’s bad, Oracle renamed their LTS DB product from 23c to 23ai the other day.

I think Poettering did a blog post just before he left RedHat (or maybe it was just after) where he described his ‘perfect’ OS - it was pretty detailed, I imagine it was indeed what we’d call systemd+Linux

Edit: Found it
