    Does Mint have Apparmor installed?

    It is default on OpenSUSE. When you add a new application you start apparmor, run your application through its normal use, it “learns” how the system is used by the app, you then apply this as an enforce option or warn option. If the app deviates it gets blocked or warning generated.

    Also OpenSUSE has a hardening GUI that looks at your system and configs and lists out all the areas that pass, fail or need attention. It is a great visual tool, and gives explanations/suggestions. Maybe there is Mint package that emulates this. Yast Security Center (see image)

  • If you can’t do full keto, skip rice and use lentils. They have a lot of fibre and protein. They will make you feel full the next day also due to fiber. Some are 20% protein but the ones I can get locally are 30% protein. For us the brown ones are a substitute for dishes that want ground beef. Like a meatloaf, or chilli. The red ones break down nicely in a thickened soups and stews.

    You can get lentil flour from Indian stores, for trying out recipes that ask for wheat flour. Takes some adjusting.




  • Yeah, I failed to expand on the example. During COVID they faced bankruptcy and the board sold out (without consulting members) I assume there could have been a lawsuit over that but due to bankruptcy a lawsuit would probably not gain anything. Prior to the sellout though we as members got info and choices on voting who ran it, and profit sharing rebates when times were good. In the final years it seemed people voted in CEO types rather than enthusiast outdoor types. Not sure if that led to the collapse, or it was already headed that way.

    When it was operating as a coop years back items were affordable and we still had profit, something changed toward covid era though, maybe markets shifted and MEC didn’t adapt. They still sell some good stuff but a lot of it now is MEC branded AliExpress stuff. Also don’t buy their MEC branded inner tubes they barely last a few rides.




  • We have somewhat similar in Canada, not as dreadful as USA, but still what you would say anti-knowledge.

    I saw this in gradeschool, kids actually trying to learn and better themselves were bullies and labeled brown-noser losers.

    At University the Uni newspaper editors would dumb down articles purposely, since they thought the general reader may not understand the topic fully ( which defeats the purpose of knowledge articles ).

    And random times. Some guy talking about making his tent lines taut, and the rest laughing saying you mean tight. And him saying , no tension on a rope or cable is taut, tight is for fastening bolts, etc. Then everyone being “yeah whatever idiot”

    And overseas teenage relatives visiting , knowing 4-5 languages, and saying “Sorry, my English is not the best” and me trying to explain it is way better than half of the coworkers I have who only speak English. And then trying to explain to a teenager that these full grown adults have no desire to learn correct terms, grammar, spelling or punctuation.

    Trying to read my wife’s family’s facebook posts is like a course in stroke cryptography.







  • Yeah, main bearings on car, like crankshaft and cam are solid bearings and journals. Wheelbearings are a timpkin flat roller, I think, to support a lot of load and thrust. They are packed and sealed. But if it isn’t heat, then I would say the part size just gets big when you need an inner race (around shaft), bearings , then outer race, housed in a bracket. Lot cheaper for just the sacrificial part, till the wear like you show starts affecting other parts.
