Grub rescue should come with a hug or maybe a nice picture of a landscape.

A random gif with a cute cat or a dog would be nice.

Difficult to stuff this in the MBR for non EFI users. AFAIK grub can display background pictures though.

Be not afraid, for I bring good news of a functioning CPU and memory, tools to inspect your disks, and as foretold in the time of the smartphone you may even still have Internet access to read all of the documentation.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Implying I can understand the documentation even when it's available.

I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave

😁or if you only store OS stuff on your local drive and have all data in your cloud including game saves

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (2 children)

And by cloud you mean your server in the basement, right?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Always put the important servers in the attic, where they get fried by the summer heat, instead of the basement, where the flood hits worst.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

you could put the server on a floatation device in the basement.

Joke's on you I use my server as pink-noise producers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I have it at my Friends Location and it is backed up on a hetzner clone that we can switch to without interruption if our own ship goes down

Of course running stable debian, 😁 secure stable debian in server distrohoppibg at home

"sudo kms" is such a mood 😭😭😭

I have a server I've abandoned because it does this every time it reboots. Use an old desktop from work instead.

sd-boot or directly booting EFI stubs rocks
