To provision VMs yes, to configure them I think Ansible works best. But you can call Ansible from Terraform.

You can use udev rules and systemd mount or AutoFs.

It was definitely a headache for me as well, but you need a guest agent (like vmwaretools or qemu-guest-agent), a cloud init ready template for the distro of your choice, a cloud init config file (network/user/vendor) and a custom SCSI/ide cloudinit cdrom mounted at boot on your VM. You also can find cloudinit logs on your VM to try and figure out what’s missing or what went wrong.

To me, it sounds somewhat like hyper focusing. Are you familiar with ADHD or ASD?

Call me chauvinistic but France is absolutely special in many ways. The diversity of landscapes for a country this size is absolutely mad, not even considering the Outre Mer. The history is insanely rich, the culture is definitely worthwhile, and I’m not even talking about the food and its sheer diversity.

The problem is us, Frenchies, we’ve definitely lost our spark and are getting propaganded to hell. It’s a very sad state of affairs.

Less chauvinistically, I really like Norway and the Nordics in general.

Sex work is going to happen whether it’s legal or not. Might as well regulate it and provide sex workers with a legal framework, healthcare, retirement funds, etc.

Oh shit, I was miserable back when I installed Arch. Dang, you might be onto something there!

That’s strange, apart from installing it, Arch is pretty painless to run if you’re not careless

And damage!

I’m sure we’ve seen nothing yet

I’m French ahah. But sometimes it’s nice to see your country from an outside perspective. Being a tourist in your own country can be interesting!

Is it possible for you to share your list?

You can read about SELinux here or ACLs here. SELinux can be pretty complex if you’ve never used it, so make sure you understand it well. I believe it should be able to do what you want to achieve.

I guess you can use ACLs depending on your filesystem, or SELinux user contexts.

He’s not wrong but he sounds like a jackass. A minimal version sounds better than removing features that are present and used by people.

Also education

My first dream was to leave the region I grew up in, which I did. The second was to leave my native country which I did too, but then I had to come back. So it felt a bit like a setback. That’s still one of my goals.
As for dreams that never happened (or didn’t happen yet) one was to live in Singapore for a while and then New Zealand.

My values and dreams have changed a lot since I was a kid. I like the ones I have now, they’re more humane and compassionate.
I think I have an ok life, nothing amazing but I have a stable job, good marketable skills, a loving girlfriend and two cats. I’m not exactly where I want to be but I’m still working on it.
I had a lot of self realisations in the past few years and it made me understand who I was and why I am the way I am. So that’s also great I think.

Do you happen to have NetworkManager ? I think it’s default on Ubuntu and that might be your problem. If you have it, nmcli connection set <device> down would turn off your device. I believe you can also change your mac address with it, but I don’t have the manual with me right now.

Edit: NetworkManager can do randomised mac address Arch wiki link

Probably woodworking. I’m pretty sure I’d love it but I live in an apartment in a city centre. So, not very suitable to have such a hobby at the moment.
