I'm not sure if my server's bootloader is in a working state after upgrading to Debian 13.
During upgrade, I saw it say "cannot find EFI directory" and "WARNING: Bootloader is not properly installed, system may not be bootable". The same appears again if I run `dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64`.
However, manual probing of the disks appears to indicate that legacy BIOS mode is used, not UEFI, and that GRUB is installed in the MBR of both disks. (It's a software RAID 1 setup, so it's installed on both in case one fails.)
But if the system uses MBR GRUB with legacy BIOS booting, then why is `grub-efi-amd64` installed, and not `grub-pc`?
Scared of rebooting. Guess I'll open a Hetzner ticket and see what they say. -

I've tried to get help from all three of ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok. All of them said a bunch of stuff that seemed half made up, but at least gave me a couple commands with which I could find out the details in my previous post.
With each LLM, I created a fresh chat and listed all those facts and told them to diagnose the situation. This time all three said pretty much the exact same thing:
The system was originally set up with legacy BIOS booting, but for some reason the Debian package for EFI-based GRUB installation was pulled in. This is likely an error in the automated "installimage" tool of Hetzner.
It appears to be a relatively benign situation, that probably just means GRUB isn't getting updated properly. The quick fix is to install the `grub-pc` package, uninstalling the efi ones.
Won't touch anything before getting confirmation from Hetzner though. -

I don't care about OPSEC I just use my real-life name everywhere and have my address public too since I have a business registered at home.
And yeah someone like Drew The Vault probably has the time and money to sue people, and he'd absolutely do it. That's why it's a good thing he puts licenses on his software. If I ever wanna use code written by him for whatever reason, I won't have to worry about him suing me because he thinks I'm a fascist because I slightly disagreed with him on exactly one (1) thing at some point.
No way I'd ever settle with a douche like that. -

Nah that's dumb. Think about how anti-social and vindictive a lot of people in software are. (Many of them probably got bullied too much at school and didn't take it well.)
If you take their unlicensed code because you thought they're cool, and make something serious out of it that you may even start to make money with, but then they start sperging at you because you called their waifu a shit, they may very much try to sue you.
A free software license is simply a guarantee that no matter how much the author spergs out, they have no recourse against you using that code in accordance with the license terms. I'd very much prefer to have that guarantee, especially when working with randoms online who I don't know very well. -

@dhfir @SuperDicq You do though.
You have to recognize that being born female leads to a person having certain experiences in life due to sexism/misogyny, that people born male don't have, so you can accurately describe how sexism works, and do something against it. Otherwise you're just turning Women's Rights into All Lives Matter aka "let's not speak of issues uniquely affecting a specific group of people and pretend like there's no specific injustices happening against them." You also have to respect that some women don't want male people in certain spaces, especially changing rooms and whatnot, where they may be in a state of undress; or sports, in which having a male body brings significant physical advantage.
You have to recognize that sexual orientation is primarily based on people's actual anatomic sex, and leave homosexual people alone, instead of trying to pressure them into accepting opposite-sex partners by saying "trans women are women and being a lesbian means loving women, so you can't exclude trans women from that."
You have to allow people to describe and talk about reality the way it appears to them, like calling a man a man and speaking of him as "he," insofar it doesn't turn into harassment. Best analogy: Religion. Going up to the face of your devote Christian coworker and saying "lol imagine believing in sky fairies" all the time? That's harassment. Saying "oh, I'm an atheist, I don't believe in a god" in a normal way, when they expect you to verbally validate the existence of their god somehow? That's just your freedom of belief and expression. You have to apply the same to the "trans women are women" belief; you can't force others to validate it.
You have to acknowledge that someone having extremely negative feelings towards their own body isn't something natural to simply validate, and offer endless medical procedures trying to "fix" it. (Procedures of which some have extreme side effects, risk factors, and potential for regret due to being irreversible.) Empathetic therapy based on self-acceptance might alleviate some of the symptoms and make less drastic interventions (like only going on HRT instead of all the way to SRS) or even no medical intervention (just dress the way you want, without HRT) may end up being sufficient for the person given sufficient mental health support. A medical intervention on a physically healthy body, to alleviate a psychological issue, is a highly questionable approach, and should always be the last resort in case nothing else works. -

I don't want to create an association between that project, and political arguments I have on fedi. Especially since I'm the founder and admin, I have the biggest responsibility of all to keep my personal political beliefs out of it. Let's just say it's a very well liked wiki for a very well liked and popular RPG video game that came out two years ago. -

> Just because Lunduke is smart enough to not say the quiet part out loud doesn't mean he's not abusing the same kind of feelings to get attention from his audience to spread hatred.
Oh ok so people openly calling for violence and exclusion are ok but those who call for tolerance are bad because they secretly mean the opposite according to you.
This is an extremely worrying way of thinking. You've convinced yourself that some people are evil to such an extent that nothing they say or do could change your mind, except I assume if they completely capitulate and submit to your ideology.
> The GNOME pride flags thing
Funny you mention that. I first saw it not from the Lunduke video but from a young gay man complaining about it. He's very lovely, recently came out to his parents if I remember correctly, and is rightfully very worried with acceptance.
One of his major gripes with society is that woke people are making everything very difficult for many gay people right now. In part with direct homophobia (e.g. gay men must consider females as potential partners, otherwise they're "transphobic") and in part by constantly bringing negative attention to the entirety of "LGBT" by trying to curtail people's freedom of expression, trying to force them to accept notions such as "trans kids" and so on.
For many a vulnerable young gay person, the only way to getting into an "accepting" community now is to join the woke mob and carefully navigate around their homophobia (so as to avoid transphobia accusations). Otherwise, they either have to go their own path completely alone and isolated, join "gender critical" gay groups that are constantly attacked by woke people, or just stay in the closet forever I guess. It's really shitty and a lot of them are of the opinion that people like you have made things much more difficult for them compared to the early 2000s. -

> Yeah yeah I've heard the whole TERF spiel before, I already know what you think.
If you know what I think, and are capable of rational thought, I think you would agree with me. Not sure which of the two is missing.
> I hope one day you realize that this mindset of yours is not helping people but it is actually hurting people instead.
I hope you realize that this is exactly what you're doing. Hurting people by following a bigoted dogma, thinking it makes you the good guy.
> Oh and that this shit is why nobody likes you and why you get banned from projects.
No, you're just in a tiny echo chamber being fed lies by people who all agree with each other. People around me like me very much, and I don't remember being banned from any software projects.
Heck, I've started a very successful software project of my own a couple years ago and we built a massive community around it that's welcoming to everyone. There's been many contributors with political beliefs opposing mine as well; some were made moderators by me at times, and some are still there, or only stopped contributing due to time constraints but still hang around.
It's been a very healthy community, and the only people causing trouble were either severely mentally ill (mainly just one person claiming to be a past murderer and being overall insane, don't ask) or obsessed with trying to force their politics on the project (including that supposed murderer, who was also super woke of course).
It evidences that a healthy community that's genuinely inclusive is best created by staying away from CoC shit and dissuading people from getting into political arguments in the project spaces.
I guess your echo chamber and/or political prejudices make you think that I must be some kind of pathetic loner who's not liked by anyone? This is very typical of bigoted people, who can't comprehend that those not agreeing with their dogmatic world view could possibly be happy and successful and have healthy communities. -

He does it to expose how they force their beliefs on others and/or how those beliefs make them dangerous (e.g. advocating violence).
You probably won't be able to find a Lunduke video that says things like "I'm exposing that this person is left wing which shows they are a bad person" or "this person admitted to be left wing and should therefore be excluded from software projects" or the like. Prove me wrong. -

But someone in the Guix community is now complaining about it, or what was the original post about?

Seems like you're the retard, thinking that using correct pronouns for people is some kind of crime that should get people banned from places. -

Yes, I am a transphobe, since it's necessary to be a good person.
You need to be a transphobe to oppose sexism, support gay rights, protect freedom of expression, and help trans people with their mental health.
May as well call me an Islamophobe and expect me to feel bad about it. -

Pretty sure he's explicitly said he doesn't give a fuck about other people's political beliefs and will gladly work with them on software projects.
It sounds like you're drawing an equivalence between "I'm angry because of my ideology and want to throw out people I don't like for not agreeing with it" and "I'm angry that you want to do that and want to stop you from doing it." -

True tbh. I think Lunduke is very predictable in how he spins things and it's kinda cringe and may sometimes be of questionable accuracy (e.g. the claim that Cloudflare going down because of Rust) but he's not insane like the people he complains about, and his videos don't seem to condone violence, exclusion, hatred, etc. like the "everyone I don't like is a nazi and btw killing nazis is a good thing" folx.
He's just a normie right of center conservative guy.
