Lets save them …
You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.
If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.
Not selfhosting AND privacy.
From the sidebar of this lemmy:
“A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”
So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.
Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.
Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy
Nothing to do with selfhosting


I just see those foundation onboard / leaves from afar … but isnt the retention rate way to high to do actual foundational stuff?
I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy … but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.
I work with a Grub boot for Win11 / Debian on the same disk (work provided laptop without the persuasion to change my employer MS-First policy) but one of the lucky ones I guess. No problem for 2 years now.
Only thing after a big Windows update it forgets its TPM Bitlocker key for its own partition. Must type it like once in 2 months manually.


To illustrate, we (Netherlands) have industries getting PAID to absorb the surplus electric energy. Mainly when they need to heat water for all kinds of processing.
Luckily this was about Snap.
That … makes a lot of sense, thanks 🙏🙏
Oh never thought about using ls to “test” things, thnx!
Yeah agree, its a work provided laptop, they allowed local admin etc but require Windows (at least that is) so just glad they gave me a HP laptop with 500GB SSD and for me certain freedom to configure dual boot etc
Got chills down my spine initially but was a “good” scare … the one which makes me carefull next time before any real damage is done. 🙈👍
Strange thing is, instead of moving folders (which isnt possible without root anyway) it looked like some of them got copied instead. Compared some folders from /boot/grub with the dump in my homefolder and they were the same files (number and names etc).
I took a deep breath (was not being root, how bad could it be?) and rebooted. Luckily everything seemed fine.
Grub letting me choose between Debian and Win11 (its a laptop from my employer) and both booted if choosen. Thanks for all the advice.
If the actual command was this … mv /*/*/* ./ would moving stuff out of /boot or /dev folders make more sense?
Ah, keen eye, corrected the title and body text to match the screenshot. (From terminal history so I think thats what I actually ran)
Oh that worked, thnx!!
I only have a backup of my own personal files, not of the whole system. So my question about impact is about not having to do a fresh install.
Also I have dual boot and grub etc do scare me. 😁
I didnt work as root by the way …
