    7z (an archiver/compressor tool) can "unpack" disk images! So, instead of using losetup, mount, cp, umount, losetup -D, you can do 7z e (learned it yday when looking into memtest86 ArchLinux packaging)

    A web site is giving me a hard time every time I log in, asking me if my email is correct. The choice of wording for buttons is pure evil: either "correct" and "update" feels like a call to change it. Do you find it as confusing as I do?

    It feels good to go from "oh no, I have no idea how to deal with this" to "oh yeah, it works like this".

    As a side effect, I no longer see how grub2 works (its config generated etc.) as black magic, although it still feels a tad over-engineered, esp. compared to lilo, grub v.1, or syslinux.

    So, memtest86 is not packages for most distros and the recommended way of using it is to boot off USB flash drive. For some reason I wanted it in my grub2 menu and spent an hour figuring out how. I succeeded, mostly because of prior work by ArchLinux devs.

    Found it out today that: - memtest86+ (the fork) is no longer developed and can't be booted by UEFI; - memtest86 (the original one) is being developed, got lots of features and can be booted by UEFI, but is not open source (there is a free as in beer version though).

    This is brilliant, because it's correct. Should I change my legal name to Cyril Pegman? 🤔

    PSA: I am not presenting at FOSDEM this year. This is another Kirill, his last name, while being very similar to mine, is different :)

    Fast forward two days. The payment is still "under review" so I paid a visit to a branch again, asking them to re-re-verify it.

    ~18 years ago I had this marvel of MP3 player. Whooping 256MB of flash, powered by a single AA battery, FM radio and dictaphone features included. I loved it and meticulously updated its firmware.

    And I thought it was a happy ending. Nope. As of this morning, the status is "We're reviewing your payment. We'll let you know if it needs attention." This is beyond ridiculous :-\

    So, I wanted to save two minutes or so, and it ended up like this. Next time I'll just write a check myself. The end.

    Next, we sit with the manager, he's on the phone with the fraud department, he checks my ID, he confirms my recent activity. I put my helmet on and ride back home.

    Shit, I need to cancel my debit card now! The teller calls the manager. The manager calls the number from the voicemail, founds out this is indeed their bank. OK, panic mode off.

    So I take my motorcycle out and ride to the nearest branch to explain my situation and ask for help. I show him the voicemail transcript. A teller says: 1. this is not our bank number! 2. we never leave voice mails! I realize I was just scammed!!! I panic!

    At this point I give up and ask what is the alternative way? She says go to the bank, have my ID with me. Ok, thank you, good bye!

    Fourth question. Can you give me some more time please, sir? Sure. (On hold again for a few minutes) - do you have the passport you used to open the account with us? - well, it was quite a few years ago, but yes, I do. - can you please tell me the number?

    Second question. I don't remember what was it but I succeeded. Third question: for how long did you lived at this address. Bla bla bla Second Street bla bla Colorado. I never lived in Colorado!

    Now I'm on hold for 5 minutes, listening to some music in lo-fi. Oh, she's back! First question: what car have you had? I say the brand, the model, the year. Another car, please? I say the brand, the model, the year. All right.
