Yep, the setupact.log is how I eventually figured out that it's looking for the WindowsPE SKU, not Core (despite me picking Core in GImageX when offered). They mention the setupact.log somewhere on one of the dozens of pages of Windows deployment, I pretty much found out about its existence by clicking around randomly and reading articles that looked relevant.

Should be pretty easy. Capture a WIM of a Windows EFI partition, then use wimlib-imagex to apply that and also the install.wim.

I'm not sure if the Windows boot process requires the UEFI boot entry to be present or if they drop their efi file in the standard location... but if not, you should just be able to copy it there.

I did consider it, but you'd also have to modify the copy of the fstab in the initramfs in addition to the one in the root. Admittedly I didn't try very hard to make that happen, I just wanted something working for the bit. :P

eh I think it's reasonable to have assumed they would continue to hold the stance that they had been holding for years. I'm sure the absolutists you talk about would be happy to be proven wrong.

It doesn't seem so bad right now if you use Sway/GNOME/KDE. I have Wayland enabled on my Intel+NVIDIA laptop and it's been pretty much fine after installing the proprietary drivers.

But we are on HN right now...

For a chip, I think you would run into the same problems as Intel iAPX if you did that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_iAPX_432

Headline made it sound like the CEO of the Florida Institute of Technology. Which... didn't make a lot of sense, but worth pointing out that "Tech" modified "CEO", not "Florida".

I wonder how pandoc[1] does this. You can convert Markdown to PDF (`pandoc test.md -o test.pdf`), it uses the same syntax as GitHub ($ signs only, no backticks) and it fares a lot better than GitHub in a few of the tests outlined in the article[2]. It's not perfect but clearly something better can be done.

Here's the specific order: https://www.cert-in.org.in/PDF/CERT-In_Directions_70B_28.04....

Bottom of page 3 says:

> Data Centres, Virtual Private Server (VPS) providers, Cloud Service providers and Virtual Private Network Service (VPN Service) providers, shall be required to register the following accurate information which must be maintained by them for a period of 5 years or longer duration as mandated by the law after any cancellation or withdrawal of the registration as the case may be:

> a. Validated names of subscribers/customers hiring the services

> b. Period of hire including dates

> c. IPs allotted to / being used by the members

> d. Email address and IP address and time stamp used at the time of registration / on-boarding

> e. Purpose for hiring services

> f. Validated address and contact numbers

> g. Ownership pattern of the subscribers / customers hiring services

Seems to me like it would target all of them. But I just searched for "VPN", didn't read the full document yet.

I think Windows 10 is simply very I/O dependent, much more so than older Windows or Linux, so having that SSD or not would make or break your experience. I've had really new (8th gen Intel) laptops perform absolutely atrocious until I swapped in an SSD.

Ideally everyone should have an SSD in 2021, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet.

I think it's valuable to just blog for your own sake as well. It gets you into a habit of putting your thoughts into words, which in my experience helps my understanding of the topic.

About offending people - think of it as an opportunity to learn. You put your opinions out there, and if someone points out a flaw in your thought process, you try to see where you went wrong. If you were wrong, you get to make another blog post explaining your new understanding, and thanking the person who helped you get there. If you weren't wrong... well, there are trolls on the internet everywhere, you just learn to ignore them.

I do see advertisements on the Gmail mobile app though. They're never in the primary view, but the automatic categorizations (Promotions, Social, Updates) generally have them.
