  • Do it young is the biggest thing… once they’re adults it’s much harder because you’re overcoming existing fear.

    You only get a few days a year but we took them outside and let them watch, showed them we weren’t scared… they both find the pretty lights fascinating, and being able to see what is making the whistles and bangs helps I think.

    Sometimes need to reinforce it with the younger one, although this year he’s been mostly fine. The older one doesn’t GAF.

    Used it once… it’s as annoying as shit since you can’t just run apps you have to type ‘flatpack run org.mozilla.firefox’ instead of just typing ‘firefox’ (and I had to google that because I just can’t remember the sequence). Also for some reason it’s slow… as you mentioned a 1 second delay before anything works. I can’t see myself using it again.

    The system is broken. Wipe it and start again. I could imagine a system with no configured root but root only is just a security nightmare and not worth using as a starting point.

    I really hope that machine isn’t exposed to the internet…

    In theory a root application can drop capabilities when it starts up and remain root pid, but it’s not that common… it’s used for certain system apps that require root to increase security. It is not a replacement for unprivileged users.

    I’m the same… I setup a VM but it was so much work just to setup a basic machine with ssh I gave up on it… I’m also no sure moving all the config out of /etc into a script is scaleable at all. I get that by copying the script from one machine to another you can duplicate configs… but we already have ansible for that.
