I understood nada. the success rate being 86% means what, successful transmission of state in 86% of cases? over what sample size? was there a control instance with randomized states?

upgrade went without a hitch (docker), only thing needed changing is the web UI password in docker-compose.yml. everything works, UI is infinitely faster, first impressions very positive.

solid rant.

as to your thing with the addiction to this and that, you hafta learn to hate that crap; it comes naturally to me, so there’s not much effort needed.

so when you hate alcohol and burgers and cigarettes and whatnot and especially the industry that produces it cutting every corner to make more money and their advertising henchmen masking every turd with sprinkles and cinnamon, then you’re no longer in the “I’m depriving myself of the thing I want”, every time you think of it a flood of anger and rage splashes over you and you simply don’t want none of that crap, ever.

works for me, your mileage may wary.

I’m also trying to get the flicker-free boot. switching to systemd-boot improved the jerkyness, but the blank before the decrypt password remains.

I’ve enabled suspend-then-hibernate and whereas earlier I’ve had to endure this jerkyness rarely, now I have to witness it multiple times a day when resuming from disk. at least it’s faster than cold boot.
