1 pam configuration mistake or one programming mistake in it. However if you can comfortably boot a live usb and fix it, and test it in qemu it should be no problem.

Oh look like pam_time exists…

Seems minimal enough.

He wants stronger hierarchies and the people in charge, all so that his group can attack them and them under him… That’s my reading.

Probably gets stone walled by the others on the team based on what I hear.

4th is writing your own self hosted tools

You could break your system, but maybe a pam module could make your username/pass not work during particular times.

IIRC this is very much created by the way copyright law works. So this is the company acting on incentives. It needs regulatory adjustment. If you stop them from THIS method they might find an even more destructive path. Make it so their actions create positive 2nd order effects.

He wasn’t in support of it per say, he was against a strong stance against it and makes it clear it’s a tool. In/out grouping is a shitty rhetoric that to me feels unenlightened. Especially when combined with twisting someones words.

Probably not an AI issue

There is a lot but I think you will find a lot of them more enterprise focused rather than consumer. For apps installed to home, why aren’t you preserving your /home partition? For system apps, could you create an image? (Although it should be basically a one liner?) There is a lot of missing detail, why are you reinstalling, what distribution(s)?

It’s probably better to write a script in a repo that downloads and installs everything…

Then for configuration files create a dotfiles repo. I use chezmoi but there are a bunch of solutions for this.

No one wants to be a good employer anymore!

Different disks if you must at all.

Politics because “no man is an island” will not elaborate.

Long time nvidia on linux user. Use AMD.

No not really. Just people.

I would like to know too. But I guess it really depends on a per app level b/c of libraries, frameworks, and languages/runtimes.

You can (and generally do) install gentoo in a Chroot, I recommend using btrfs with subvolumes on your current install, then switching when everything works, that way you can roll back.

But since you’re on arch you probably already know a fair chunk of what is necessary.

1. Use flags are more about features, there are other flags like cpu architecture. I don’t recommend you do too much on your first build, except for having some sweeping ones like X and/or Wayland. Then once you have it running you can do a rebuild. I also recommend taking subvolume snapshots before doing major changes.
2. Yes. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC#Runlevels

jdownloader seems pretty close to “internet download manager”

Also I prefer yt-dlp over youtube-dl
