Is it because they're black bars?

I just did this with my phone, which I use as a bus pass. I stayed up a tad late getting that working again...

Is this some kind of mutable meme I'm too immutable to understand

You can still f it up, mostly by messing with the bootloader (at least in my experience). Also the same can be achieved with stuff like zfs/bttrfs snapshots 🤷 But yeah, nixos rocks.

When I first switched to nix, I made an error copy-pasting my hashed password into a secrets file.

Reninstalled the system 5 times, each time immediately locking myself out, almost

Managing ~35 machines without issues now though.

Yeah BTW I use nixos

My old MacBook hangs around just for this case. As clever as I think I am, I know, deep down, I am hack and have poor luck so I always need a ripcord.

Working as a self-taught dev has a weird toll. Lmao.

ripcord

Just rock an atomic distro. You choices then become: it boots, OR: the OS is no longer present so I guess it's not my problem anymore.

PSA: Make a backup flash drive with the latest Live version of your favorite distribution.
