  • In theory yes. But as an insider to a company that sells proprietary software…also no. LOL.

    They build a lot of their stuff on top of opensource code. There has been the exact same exploits as open source projects, and even a few malware intrusions from either some devs deliberate sabotage or infected machine. Not every giant corporation is checking in depth like you assume they should be, they go on trust to save shareholder profits and if they do an external audit and its a zero day nobody* is catching it.

    *there was that one a while back in an unrelated project where the only reason it was caught was a dev nerd noticed the very slight delay in network response compared to previous version. So caught by human feels wrong and not a diff of git



  • It is not an insult, it is fact. You are spouting rhetoric without actually thinking about what you relay. CIA tries over a small period in an experiment, bad results.

    But Dude look up cults and how their leaders get them to do things like drink poison or murder for them. Or have a extreme group suicide bomb themselves. Indoctrination.

    If you raise a kid and tell him everyday that black people are bad, they believe it and perpetuate it. Indoctrination.

    You are being what the rest of the world criticizes China for doing to its citizens. Being single minded with out a way to see past the delusions, and regurgitate random info without actually disseminating the root of things.

    Again, you thinking being paid or not doesn’t change the merit , it absolutely does.

    Just like when red state newspapers report on news: they have to slant it to favour the payer or you don’t get paid. It’s how control works.

    If you don’t see this, then that is highly unfortunate that you can’t see the truth.

    Chinese citizens have to tow the line. The company I worked for had operations there, when our guys meet with counterparts then and ask probing questions everyone clams up, and one off to the side says we can’t talk about bad things.

    If you go against it you have reprogramming training classes.

    We even have Chinese police stations here in Canada and they go knocking on doors because a Chinese citizen has said something negative about the homeland. And coerce them into going back to the mainland. This is not me reading it on the web, this is coworkers at the house when it happens to their room mates.

    Stop trying to make China a utopia it is not. I agree with Socialism, but not a dictatorship.

    It woukd seem you are being paid to promote China propaganda, or you are severely deluded to what goes on there.

    A survey of citizens that know they cannot speak ll without retribution to them or their family, will always look positive. Please use some critical thinking here.

    If the outlook is I spend too much on my wife and kids then you shouldn’t be married with kids.

    Once kids are self sufficient then you will have more than enough to waste on consumerism.



  • The system will always boot to a writable snapshot, unless you chose an old one (which becomes read only) If you have the 835 as a single snapshot that is probably something you made a single snapshot of maybe? as they are usually in pairs.

    Unless something went really odd.

    Lookup tools to purge old btrfs data, but first try manually making a new snapshot. And see if it will boot to the new one on its own. If it can you can probably delete the old snapshot pairs. The singles are often a large install like original install that served as the basis for subsequent incremental changes. There could be a lot of old data it is hanging onto.

    Also look at the btrfs scripts to see when they’d run, you can run the commands manually to try to cleanup and purge data


  • If your home partition part of the same filesystem then filling your home with games and media also shows as filling root also, because its all one volume.

    If you don’t like CLI stuff then: You can review grub menu options in the YAST2 GUI app for boot. Here you will see if there is a delay set to pick an alternate snapshot, or boot direct.

    But first use YAST2 GUI to review Filesystem, it will show you how many snap shots you have and whether they are important or not. You can also set how long to keep them by time or by number of entries. You can delete old ones if you don’t need them. You can force a new snapshot. But I would clear disk space first if you are that full.

    It is possible the normal btrfs maintenance tools didn’t run for some reason, but usually all the backnd cleanup of that is handled by the system.

    How have your " sudo zypper dup" upgrades gone?
