I thought netflows were all just sampled nowadays, though. That is, if you want to see every packet, you can't use netflow. If you just want the general characterization of your data, then they are ok.

It seems to be hot-patching the image to redirect the kernel command line to boot from the iventoy server. I booted ubuntu-22.04.2-live-server-amd64.iso and the resulting kernel command line of the installation environment has a "url&q

So, it loads some kind of shim that presents as a BIOS optical drive, but reads its data via NBD? Then, say, the linux kernel of the vanilla ISO installer sees that shim program as a sort of virtual cdrom? When you installed Mint, did you h

Yes, that is how you would do it if you are rolling your own boot setup. But, most ISO images are not set up to work this way, and the implication of the iVentoy site is that you can just use unmodified ISO images. That is what I am wonderi

How is the ISO image presented to the booting machine via the network? Usually it's not too hard to load kernel/initrd from an ISO via ipxe/http, but then they need to have a way to see the ISO themselves.

I hear it a lot in sentences like "Is there a 'kly' command for it or do you have to use the 'gooey'?" If you are saying it a lot, you pretty quickly adjust to saying a 1-syllable word, instead of saying 3 syll

You just track calories in, and weight. If you stop losing weight, reduce calories in. It doesn't matter if you "have a slow metabolism" or whatever, because that just means you don't get to eat as much as someone else

I can't for the life of me find where the article talks about live-lock and the OOM killer. I searched for "lock" and "OOM" and none of them related to that.

The thing is, he named it. So he gets to say how it is spelled and how it is pronounced. You don't call the Spanish exchange student "Gee-Suss", you call him "Hey-soos", because it's a name.
