How do you people even keep up with this? I'm going back to cybersecurity after trying DevOps for a year, it's not for me. I miss my sysadmin days, things were simple back then and worked. Maybe I'm just getting old and my cognitive abilities are declining. It seems to me that the current tech scene doesn't reward simple.

To each his own. I'm completely drained after 30 min of "discussing" with an LLM, which is essentially an overconfident idiot.
Pushes never come from the LLM, which can be easily seen by feeding the output of two LLMs into each other. The conversation collapses completely.
Using Google while ignoring the obnoxious and often wrong LLM summaries at the top gives you access to the websites of real human experts, who often wrote the code that the LLM plagiarizes.
I have experienced this a lot, I thought I was alone. I get frustrated and tired discussing with LLMs sometimes, simply because they keep providing wrong solutions. Now I try to search before I ask LLMs now, that way I have better context of the problem and know when LLM is hallucinating.

This is precisely what would have happened if Apple had gotten away with their distributed image hashing scheme. Only in that case the falsely accused would be sent immediately through the justice system and forced to spend a fortune to defend themselves on the assumption that they were hiding the evidence.
Already happened with me, my Amazon account is essentially locked. I changed my phone number and don't have access to my old number anymore and the existing number is apparently associated with some other Amazon account so they can't do anything about it. I stopped using Amazon altogether, I just request my brother to order stuff I want.
I never had the urge to switch from Firefox to any other browser, it's the first application that gets installed on any personal device after setup.

Never gave up on Firefox, still my primary browser.

Very helpful. Can someone recommend more of these learn by doing programming blogs?
3ln00b commented on Why I stopped releasing EasyOS as an ISO file bkhome.org/news/202112/wh... · Posted by u/g0xA52A2A
I have the opposite experience wrt. ISOs and plain (dd) images. If I burn an ISO to a USB stick, I can use the whole stick. But if I burn a dd image to the stick, the size must match exactly, otherwise I have to futz around with fdisk and resize2fs. Sometimes a 4GB stick has less memory than another 4GB stick, so you can't restore.
And when creating images, you have to take extra care to zero out unused space, otherwise your dd image will not be compressible.
Frankly I just want a small file that I can right-click or drag into Rufus and burn my USB stick or SD card ASAP. I used to know exactly what was going on when making a bootable floppy; the file containing the bootloader had to be in certain sectors, so you had to create it with FORMAT, but all other files could just be copied on. I don't know if any special sector layout is neccessary nowadays, I think for EFI boot it just requires the EFI directory. And tools like Rufus probably just copy file by file to the USB drive, not sector wise.
You should try Ventoy
