transcript of Alan Watts: The Individual & The World

https://www.organism.earth/library/document/individual-and-the-world

pro-tip: if you toggle to "reader view" in firefox you can then fairly easily select all and cut/paste into a simple text document/file for offline reading(roughly a 150KB file / 24 page pdf)

more: the link referenced in the previous post is probably not the best offered at yt(commenters complained of numerous ads/commercials through the near 4hr audio-only "video" although i didn't personally sample said 4hrs)

speaking of surprises reminded me of this regarding ACL breakage:

thanks to everyone who is talented enough to continue to investigate "the borking"

hopefully a fix can be found

re: wayland reminds of a recent past post:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=57316#p57316

this reminded me of a known expliot/vulnerability that has been around for awhile:

https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/12/just-about-every-windows-and-linux-device-vulnerable-to-new-logofail-firmware-attack/

always good to keep a reasonable threat detection posture.

looks like mdadm has been in debian/ubuntu since at least debian 3 and ubuntu 5.10 based on this webpage:

https://www.howtoforge.com/linux_software_raid

so it is possible that an original or a remix may/might possibly cause these failures/issues

using DDG Lite and searching for ubuntu 8.04 mdadm finds numerous results, just one of which is:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootDegradedRaid

which appears to have similar questions regarding out of the box operations

@fsmithred, fortunately there would have been few of these "situations" however it is "non-zero" and one must wonder how many borked systems were never accurately diagnosed regarding the exact cause of failure(after all, the innocent live-distro user believes wholeheartedly that booting their liveusb thumbdrive in an unknowing/unsuspecting owners/users machine doesn't change anything on the computer itself...because that is what the distros claim...a claim we now know is sometimes false)

did you ever fix this?

yes, uninstall yt-dlp via apt or synaptic BEFORE manually installing the newest version please.

oh noes! where have all the babies gone? who will bathe and feed us when we are sixty-four?

kudos to @g4sra @Camtaf @greenjeans @RedGreen925 @mweishaar for additional insights!

re: Void Linux, please see:

specifically of note:

also this as well:

still we must always consider the writing on the wall:

90+ percent of the population cannot do this

not sure whether to hat-tip or curse @mweishaar after i fell down the imgur rabbithole...sigh...
