For me, I would say around 2020 and knowing the US was responsible for blowing up the pipelines the around summer 2021, considering the news at that time I could already tell. Not in detail, but enough to know it a high likelyhood, with doubts in between.

Oh wait, I see that vmlinuz file has a version to it. I couldn’t remember if vmlinuz was the kernel or not, because I used to have multiples of them, but these days I only have one.

GRUB gets installed on your harddisk in your root partition, it’s configuration file on the boot partition and finally into your boot sector if I’m correct. UEFI is a standard for your firmware located outside your harddisk. You go from firmware -> partition layout -> bootloader (grub) -> kernel.

The firmware is closed source under BIOS or UEFI or if you’re hardcore open source, libreboot/coreboot/‘other options’ and is located somewhere on your motherboard on some chip.
Then there’s the partition layout and bootloader that are located inside /dev/sda I believe, so inside the device itself, which can be read if you want to take a peek at it.

Now the bootloader located in the boot sector /dev/sda loaded by the firmware located in some chip in the motherboard, has access to the boot partition, where it loads the bootloader’s configuration file usually located at /boot/grub/grub.cfg for GRUB. I remember UEFI having some kind of standard bootloader by itself, so it doesn’t even need a bootloader if I can remember correctly.

This what I recall as it was quite complicated for me too. Especially with software being called firmware and not being called motherbootware or pre-bootware or anything that indicates that this piece of software is the very first thing that starts running during boot.

But you look at /boot and what you can find there. There will be at least two files there called initramfs and vmlinuz, which were also part of the boot process, but I forgot what role those two played.

I think the OP meant when were YOU embarrassingly proven wrong.

To me my physical attraction to women is:
face > weight > length > waist/hip ratio > Breast shape > nipple shape > size of nipples/boobs > jiggle.

I’m not attracted to a woman that has the body of a regular rock,
lamppost or dishwasher or I’d be physically attracted to those things.
So the way your body looks is very important for physical male attraction,
but I would say that the bar currently is low for male attraction in general.

I don’t think breast shape is ever a deal breaker for the vast majority of men, at least not for me, but it does bring in attention.
They’re at chest level and can take up a good portion of the body,
so they’re quite difficult to ignore, especially if they’re large.

The right size is only a small bonus and the bigger they are, the more attention it brings.
Jiggle also brings more attention to them, but size is more important as it (falsely?) implies easier arousal.

They’re also soft, thus very kissable and there’s nipples on them that can indicate and entice arousal.

Volunteers? I thought fedora/red hat was one of the few professional Linux OSes with this particular distro family focusing in on servers and security?
I could be wrong though.

It’s invincible against any adversary that still operates with 20th century technology, except for nations that had F-22’s prior.

Ah, singular their.
It’s not that common.

Did you marry your cousin, did she marry South-East Asia or was the guy from your high school randomly at his own wedding?

Oh noes!
Does that mean they will start banning TikTok and Huawei soon?

I would say it’s not very different, just one league above all the others that I’ve come across.

The three things that stand out in my opinion is how much their package manager can query packages, it’s rolling release and the number of packages they have in the AUR.

It makes Arch the most complete and up to date Linux distro,
with the exception of a user friendly forum,
that doesn’t look like the nazi soup kitchen from Seinfeld,
and an installer.
