So, if you ask me what my takeaway from the Crowdstrike issue is, I'd say: boot counting/boot assessment/automatic fallback should really be a MUST for today's systems. *Before* you invoke your first kernel you need have tracking of boot attempts and a logic for falling back to older versions automatically. It's a major shortcoming that this is not default behaviour of today's distros, in particular commercial ones.

Of course systemd has supported this for a long time:

maybe it's time for a new #introduction post

I'm Sky (ae/aer pronouns)! I'm a #bisexual #nonbinary #transfem living in rural Virginia with my two partners and my kiddo

I'm a strong #foss advocate, a #digimon and #pokemon fan, and a #programmer

I'm both white and #indigenous (white-passing though)

I'm diagnosed with #adhd, #bipolar, and #ptsd

strongly suspected of #autism (especially since my kiddo has it too)

plus how relatable all the #audhd memes are for me lol

devout #linux user, rolling releases are the future

love both #gnome and #kde though philosophically I lean more towards #kde

#punk, #breakcore, #pop, and woman-led #metal are my jam

#trans and #lgbt activist, #mutualaid is life

anyway, love y'all #fediverse

Regular expressions make you queasy? Here’s an approach with less hairy regex syntax:

1. Run the search:

/background-color

2. Start a recording:

qq

3. Make the edit, exit insert mode and jump to the next match:

Wct;black<Esc>n

4. End the recording:

q

5. Run the macro a bunch of times to replace all matches

999@q

Yes, running it 999 times is a bit crude: there’re more precise ways to do this, but they’re (slightly) more complicated to explain.
