Why is the default value 176? I initially thought it might have to do with not allowing anything particularly impactful but the 8th bit (0x80) is set which allows to shut down. Why not just allow everything listed [here](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html)?

Thanks for your answer. I will look into secure boot.
I don't want to customize the boot menu. Its just that in the boot order list grub shows up as a bunch of gibberish (see right above the entry for the windows bootloader). Im worried that this might mean something is wrong. If it can get the name of the windows bootloader properly it should with grub too.
(And you guessed right, its acer)
Dualbooting windows and ubuntu (ubuntu is mostly working) and as in the picture, grub shows up in the boot order list as a bunch of gibberish. Why is this? Could it hint at something wrong? How can I fix it even if just to make it look nicer? I did have to restart the installation a bunch. Including once because it failed to create the partition, but the installation completed once that was done. EDIT: I reinstalled grub and this persists so Im still curious.

You should try installing vim ("Vi IMproved") and run the vimtutor program it comes with, it walks you through the basics. Vim is addictive.

I agree that was inappropriate, but it won't work, on newer versions you have to pass --no-preserve-root to rm if you want to delete /

Might be referring to philosopher Judith Butler's "gender performativity." Guessing by the similar name, I don't know what it actually means.

Lemmy-ui uses isomorphic rendering so comments do come loaded (just not all of them) on the first page you visit, no javascript needed. Did you mean it should serve all comments?

Its a blessing in disguise that there have been server issues. It will hopefully spread users out better over other instances.

There is a single hard disk but my computer comes with Intel optane, which seems to need RST. It has worked fine so far, maybe because of it not being multiple actual disks.

The Ubuntu guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/rst ) and comments on stackexchange claim its possible, maybe it wasnt in the past. It hasnt worked for me, Ive given up and am going to reinstall windows like you suggested.

Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu alongside windows 10 which I need for school. I've tried two methods to get windows to use AHCI: 1) switch to safe mode, choose AHCI in the BIOS, log on to windows then turn safe mode off. 2) use the registry editor to get the AHCI drivers on, then choose AHCI in the BIOS. In both cases windows fails to startup and thinks the hard disk is messed up. Are there any alternative methods? Anything I couldve gotten wrong? Unable to find leads so far. I will next be trying to update some drivers, maybe that will work, but would love some guidance until I get back to trying. EDIT: I wasn't able to figure out how to get my existing windows installation to work with AHCI. I also wasnt able to use a windows live usb to fix my isntallation. I had two partitions and ended up installing windows on the partition I had freed up for ubuntu, moving my files to it, then installing ubuntu on the partition windows initially was on. I have no idea whats wrong with my computer because that wasnt all the trouble I faced lol, but now am happy I have ubuntu working.
