A beginner to what, to pacman, to arch, to rolling distro, to linux, to unix, to a PC, to using man-made tools ...

I made an installation to an old pc once, I though it would last a while, and since the users could barely understand what an on/off button does, they just wanted google and facebook, so it was a wm with two browsers, daughter already knew what chrome was, and in the login shell I wrote a script that each new day it booted it attempted pacman -Suy --noconfirm then once a week the cache was emptied and the logs trimmed.

That was before covid, a couple months ago I met her, she said it has been working fine every since.

So there is your dinner

PS Actually it wasn't arch it was artix with runit but that is about the same

If she has to pay for it then she can bring anyone she wishes into her apartment ... with payment come rights.

If USAID appears as horrific to the general public, and not really news for many people with a critical mind, just imagine what its proposed replacement will be like under Trump.

Not too many administrations ago a USAF intelligence organization was formed directly under presidential supervision as chief, and came into contradiction with NSA/CIA. Then there was HSA which had a green light by past administrations to violate the constitution at will and simply blanket any enemy as a national security matter.

Of all those corporate/state tools against humanity and rights, USAID has outlived its purpose. But don't get too happy, they are just burying it in a good moment to start clean, without historic responsibilities carried on.

I still prefer net-tools and use ifconfig eth0 up That ip mess I'd rather do without, and those funky UU device/interface names I wish them out of my system

By the way, what system/init/svc manager are you using? With 50y in your back, cron job to check if it is up and resetting it while you are away. You can always remotely cancel the cronjob ... but it will be a new mistake not the old one :)

I started on Irix and ultrix if you remember those, what would I know :)

Once in a while both bosses and obedient puppets branded engineers pay the price of their false assumptions. I suspect the reason users, not companies, are increasingly engaged in using and contributing to linux/unix/BSDs is because "corporate engineers" treated people as being stupid.

There is only one, the Peoples' Repuplic of China, the other is just a violent invasion and occupation by the US the Taiwanese people have endured.

It is hard to tell because your comment can't hardly be related to anything or understood within the discussion .. so don't complain on top

Because you see ads today that means they were always there? Isn't there any basic train of thought anymore, is everyone now living in still pictures? Why are so many people here denying the article I provided earlier where it was saying that NBC after "50" years it begun having liquor ads again.

This war was forced into Russia due to the blocking and surrounding it with NATO bases clearly against it, and by trying to block and substitute its primary exports to EU.

The violent overthrow of the then democratic government in Ukraine, the arming, training, and directing a Neo-Nazi para-military unit to take over, after forcing half the political parties in being illegal, had nothing to do with Russia. If there is someone underinformed, confused, and lacking historical facts it is not me, and better change your arrogant tone if you seriously want to discuss something and not just throw propaganda mud.
