  • The relief is targeted at people who enrolled in income-driven repayment (IDR) plans, which allow student loan debts to be forgiven by the federal government once payments have been made for 20 or 25 years, depending on the plan.

    But because of well-documented errors in tracking payments, many borrowers enrolled in IDR plans have been left paying well beyond their payment end dates, with no forgiveness in sight.

    Let’s read that again. No changes in policy are happening, the Biden administration is literally just applying the literal basic terms of the already-on-the-books-and-already-lawful repayment plan to nearly a million people who were supposed to have their debts forgiven already.














  • There was a movement to make /bin /sbin etc symlinks to /usr a few back. I honestly don’t remember the rationale, but here’s Debian’s page about the change: https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge. If I hadn’t been following the distros at the exact moment they did the changeover it probably would have thrown me for a loop too.

    I think it had to do with the fact that these days relatively few people need /usr on a separate partiton and so it very rarely happens and something about system binaries being easier to manage if they’re actually all in one place. People are ready for some tweaks to the FHS, I guess.


  • You didn’t mention why you’re trying to bind-mount your /data volume from your initramfs environment, but the only reason I can even guess at is that you’re trying to use it as part of your recovery environment. In which case, you’d probably be better served by doing the recovery from an Ubuntu live usb rather than try to cobble together a working environment from the shrapnel you left scattered across your drive.

    This process should literally look like – boot, mount drives, rsync /usr back to root volume, clean up fstab/any other config changes, reboot, try again later after you’ve done more reading.


  • Yeah, but there are trimmed down versions of kubernetes that are suitable for single node deployments, and at the end of the day, I’m not especially interested in knowing a special, different, other tool + yaml based config file format to run containers on a single node versus several nodes.

    Container orchestration across a single node = running containers on that node = same use case as Docker. You can even use images off Docker hub. K8s does everything Docker does and more.

    While you can kind of use Docker/Docker Swarm to manage containers across multiple nodes, it’s a really, really terrible experience.
