[01:20:03] cardboardbox How would you boot /efi and /boot on a flash drive when installing Arch Linux?

[01:20:24] cardboardbox put not boot*

[01:23:40] cardboardbox I might try it some time. It shouldnt be that difficult. I think you'd just mount the flash drive and install the bootloader and kernel.

[01:25:01] cardboardbox I was planning to install arch and keep the bootloader and kernel on a flash drive and encrypt everything else.

[01:25:53] cardboardbox I thought it would stop people with physical access from doing stuff to your computer.

[01:28:36] cardboardbox I find the stuff written in the info command hard to understand.

[01:28:53] cardboardbox why is it written like that?

[01:29:37] cardboardbox Im guessing to understand some things in there Id have to have a computer science major

[01:30:06] cardboardbox Or sit there with a dictionary

[01:30:16] cardboardbox look up anything that's hard to understand.

[01:30:48] cardboardbox some of what I know to do on linux was inherited from when I used dos

[01:32:03] cardboardbox I've been doing okay at using Linux so far.

[01:32:23] cardboardbox It's not too hard and a lot of things are idiot proofed

[01:32:58] cardboardbox I dont understand those people that think linux is hard because you have to press a key to boot off a flash drive to install it.

[01:33:49] cardboardbox eat cheetos with a stain on their shirt.

[01:38:20] cardboardbox Im surprised a joke about cheetos got someone to say something like that.

[01:39:35] cardboardbox I thought it was a joke sort of. the image of someone drooling eating cheetos in front of their computer.

[01:39:53] cardboardbox hur dur, how do I internet?

[01:40:12] cardboardbox though, I'm not sure if I know how to internet anymore, and I'm being serious about that.

[01:40:30] cardboardbox It's like some methods to searching the internet no longer work.

[01:47:27] cardboardbox How would you use dd to make a copy of your drive in a iso?

[01:47:34] cardboardbox I think it's possible.

[01:48:20] cardboardbox would you out your drive as if= and the iso you want to put it in as of=

[01:48:49] cardboardbox .bin would probably make more sense.

[01:49:07] cardboardbox When I'm on my computer is download videos with yt-dlp

[01:49:54] cardboardbox meme machine

[01:53:11] cardboardbox why does writing a linux iso to a usb with dd work then?

[01:57:59] cardboardbox would you be able to put a linux iso onto a dvd?

[01:58:12] cardboardbox I never did it before. though I bought linux on dvd before.

[02:03:54] cardboardbox I think I knew the answer to that question. I sorry

[02:04:15] cardboardbox in xfburn it lets you do it, there's a button

[02:05:03] cardboardbox I use dd to nowadays

[02:05:20] cardboardbox though that would only work with usb drives far as I know

[16:01:46] cardboardbox hmm

[17:34:27] cardboardbox benis icmp echo

[17:35:09] cardboardbox whos benis is this? tell 192.0.1.2

[17:35:48] cardboardbox tcp benis ack packet recieved

[17:36:17] cardboardbox benis wenis

[17:48:48] cardboardbox benis is not a command batch file or operative.

[17:49:37] cardboardbox benis not found. plug benis in

[17:51:43] cardboardbox im so bored. I should stop making benis jokes.
