A long time ago, Debian 8 or so it was a bug with Debian. Something about the command running without root despite the sudo command.

It wasn’t always that way. At one time you had to so I still do.

Found the debian user.

Yeah except it would be iptables-restore < old_fw_rules.bak

I’ve never had that problem. Probably due to my not installing dodgy software.

Oh sure you can refuse to install it I guess but why would you? Its weird so many people don’t understand what a advantage it is to have root access.

I’ve never ran a custom rom that didn’t have root.

I don’t use onedirve or google drive. The cloud is wack.

For anything related to cleaning up the device. Who needs samsung internet? Who needs uninstallable garbage you never use. Perhaps I want to back up my wifi config so when I transfer to a new device I can do so in a manner that doesn’t bring old problems with me. What do I need root for? Because I know how to do things that secure my device against the manufacturer.

I have to settle for package disabler pro. At least I can lock off that stupid intrusive AI shit.

Root. No root means its never gonna be my device. I want more buttons back as well.

Its getting better but most rural cable systems have older amps and line extenders. The upstream or return portion of them are very limited in capacity. Adding to that problem is the fact that the return on almost all cable systems is in the T channel range. This is also close to the CB radio spectrum and there are several other sources of noise that can interfere with them. It doesn’t matter how many downstream channels you can bond the upstream is limited until you can replace all the equipment on a node with gear that has a larger return spectrum. The line extender on the pole in front of my house is nearly thirty years old and it is doing more than it was designed to do.

1 meg up. Who? Lots of people. Perhaps the majority of people in the US have very low upstream bandwidth. That amount is through the local cable company. AT&T here offers much less upstream than the cable company does. If you don’t live in a major population center you get slower internet. AT&T is supposed to be updating things around here finally. When I moved in here the best speed they could offer me was 3meg down 256 up. That was in 2022.

Oh and I should probably clarify for you that 256 is .25 meg.

Yeah they are but most people in the country don’t have 1 gig up and 1 gig down. Locally most people have less the 1 meg upload. Pointing out exceptions doesn’t invalidate what I said.

I was the sysadmin for a ISP for over ten years. When you max your upload it slows everything down.

Even Ford had the edsel.

Naw, not yet. I still burn a few a year. Amazing how entertaining it can be in a older car.

I guess that works for those who caffeine perks you up. I drink it to calm down and relax.

Trumps words coming out of a sycophants mouth. How stupid do you have to be that trumps way of putting it is better than what you can come up with yourself.

I do not. I haven’t played a gamer older than thirty years old in years

So its road runner rules in play here.
