I'm using Gentoo with systemd and a customized kernel, and additionally I have the /usr partition LUKS encrypted. Because /usr is absolutely essential for systemd to function, I configured dracut to make a specially crafted initrd which activates the luks lvm and prompts for the password to decrypt and mount /usr on startup before systemd init tries to run.

About a year or two ago, some update to dracut or some other dependency (assumption) caused the dracut generated initrd's to kernel panic. After multiple days of troubleshooting, I discovered that just copying forward an older initrd in /boot and naming it to match the new kernel, e.g. initramfs-6.6.38-gentoo.img , allows the system to boot normally .

So, my Gentoo is booting a kernel 6.6.something with a ramdisk generated in the 5.9 kernel era. I am dreading the day when this behavior breaks and I can no longer update my kernel 😳

The doctor thought I might have brain damage.

Whoa oh oh oh, I'll never give in

This is great on so many levels - from the context of the original show it also implies Zelenskyy is banging Putin's mom 🤣

Nobody could have seen this coming 😒

This is the way (as in this is what I do). Every once in a while you'll have to hard reset the laptop because Windows.

A thread on the site which shall not be named convinced me that a majority of the books are recently published and with above average to highly scored on reviews, so I bought it.

Why the Linux Firewalls book hails from 2007 is a strange outlier.

Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.
