I once shut down my work laptop running Ubuntu during a dist update. I have no idea why I decided to do it during work time or why I decided to force shutdown but of course it didn’t boot up again.
Thankfully I was able to restore it fairly easily.
You never tinker with infrastructure. This is exactly why you never test in prod.
You’ll also, one day, discover why you pick distros with excellent rollback – even simulated.
Goddamn that’s a lot of black bars, we’re no longer letterboxing this is like a-whole-post-office-boxing
Fixed
I didn’t want my post touching the other posts! Lmao
Funny enough, this happened to me right before my final exam in high school, though it was Windows instead - it killed itself with an update somehow.
Fortunately that was just my laptop and it didn’t happen durimg the exam.
and thats why you always need a backup computer.
And that’s the kind of preplanning you’d hope for when hiring too. Never FAFO before anything important.

Laughs in NixOS.
You can’t fuck up your grub config in nixos?
You would have to actively work to do so. Even then, recovery is pretty easy.
Kinda sorta not really? The NixOS config allows you to configure GRUB, too, and doing it like that is pretty safe - plus you can boot into an older iteration and fix your mistakes via the GRUB fallback prompt if need be AFAIK.
Interesting, how does it bootstrap the system then?
You don’t configure GRUB directly in NixOS. You configure it like everything else via NixOS modules which are pretty robust (but with enough energy, you can probably create something that passes evaluation but won’t actually work). Only my VPSs use GRUB, the rest lanzaboote and none of these ever broke.
So I’d say breaking your GRUB config by accident in NixOS is very unlikely.
Never heard of such a thing. I use Bluefin BTW.
hey could you tag these posts something unique please? I appreciate that you’re posting them for people defederated from .ml but for those of us who see both it’d be nice to be able to filter the duplicate posts out
I do it as part of a general boycotting of the Tankie .ml instance, so to that end, Id advise you to instead just block the .ml comm
I try to block as little as possible personally, cuz the fediverse is small enough already lol. If it’s something you’d consider at all, I’d def prefer a tag on these posts to blocking either you (don’t wanna do that, I still like seeing your other posts and comments) or however many comms on subjects I’m interested in (def not doing that). If you don’t wanna tag the posts for ideological reasons that’s valid and no pressure tho
