  • Before you copied some random file you edited and put it in init.d and it worked.

    Before you copied some random file you edited and put it in init.d and it appeared to be working but then failed in random ways the first time you restarted, the first time you rebooted, the first time you restarted it via sudo instead of directly as root since some environment variable differed,…

    So really it only appeared to be working in my experience because you had no real way to check.





  • I reject several of the premises of the article, in particular the idea that China and the western countries are independent enough from each other that their rise or fall could be seen as independent phenomenons and also the idea that China’s growth represents something that the West could emulated and that isn’t just a result of the fact that China’s population was still largely peasants at the start of that growth. It is always easier to see higher percentage growth if you start from a very low base value.

    That said I am not saying China isn’t doing some things better than the west, particularly when it comes to decisive and unified action but again, a lot of that is the result of the different starting positions, if the status quo favors you already you tend to be cautious not to lose that status while risky behaviour is more likely to benefit you if you start further down. And of course it is easier to get a population to act in a unified way if you can just force them as opposed to having to convince them.

    Seems familiar. Did you by any chance also not update the copy of grub in your EFI system partition since you installed it? Then you need to do that and afterwards everything works fine again.

    While you are at it add a netboot.xyz EFI entry to fix that kind of stuff without a USB stick or your own network boot server.
