  • I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
    The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
    I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).

    Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
    Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.

    Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
    A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.

    The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
    Since turning off FastBoot, I haven’t had any issues in the past 8 months.











  • Maybe Ukraine couldn’t retake the areas occupied by Russia, but they could deliver a Pyrrhic blow to Kremlin.

    They have delivered a pyrrhic victory.
    Russia thought they could take Kyiv (Ukraine?) on 3 days.
    The fact that Ukraine has resisted so hard, have redefined the modern battlefield, have conducted huge deep strikes…
    Ukraine is winning.

    The reason Ukraine may not be “winning” is because the Russian war machine is huge. Like really really big.
    The reason that Ukraine is “winning” is because the Russian war machine is outdated and corrupt.

    The western opinion of Russia has been devastated. Russia tested themselves, and failed.
    Russia is holding on by their nukes.
