Memes about Qubes OS

I surf the internet in dom0

How about making backups onto a disposable VM?

Goddamn this was annoying. This picture actually describes the situation perfectly.

I actually solved this by creating a cron job that checks if sys-usb is running. If not, it starts it. Then I set the cron job to run once a minute.

So if you whack sys-usb by mistake (easy to do if you’re shutting down lots of things in that running-qubes widget), just wait a short while, it will come back.

I have a confession to make. When I wrote this, I was laughing my ass off…because I actually do make my backups to a disposable VM. The only reason it’s not stupid to do so is that it does mount external (to the VM) storage to put the backups onto. The VM is evanescent, the storage is as permanent as anything in computing.

Wanted to get this up for the holiday …

Merry X-mas just the same!

(as a response to the sys-usb going down mem)
Happened to me only once so I didn’t bother with looking for a real solution (maybe a command in Dom0 to START sys-usb in 120 seconds, just before I stop it?) :thinking:

If I’m doing it deliberately (like, for instance, because its template is updated and it shows as needing a restart), I can just restart it…mouse and keyboard freeze for 20-30 seconds maximum.

I also have a cron job, set to run every minute, like this:

qvm--sjtart --skip-if-running sys-usb > /dev/null 2>&1

that will cause it to be restarted if it’s down. That guards against accidental shutdowns. Max wait time a minute and 10 seconds or so, and that’s IF i killed sys-usb immediately after the prior run of the cron job.

Hey folks, a quick reminder of our community guidelines:

Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:

  • […]
  • Keep it clean. Don’t post anything obscene or sexually explicit.
  • […]

These are not concrete terms with precise definitions — avoid even the appearance of any of these things. If you’re unsure, ask yourself how you would feel if your post was featured on the front page of the New York Times.

An assertion of rudeness, when none exists is absurd. @gonzalo-bulnes you’ve been “rude” before.

“Kind reminder that the community guidelines encourage to “[be] respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said” and to avoid ad hominen attacks.”

I’m avoiding avoiding an ad hominen attack but gonzalo your previous behavior gives you no right to be the arbiter of CoC. Although I care little the Memes thread, I have a real passion about your interference. Mr. Bulnes please consider your actions and posts in the future. Thank you!

A friend doing surrealism drawing, usually for OpenBSD, made this one after I talked a bit too much about Qubes OS and my OpenBSD related project OpenKuBSD :rofl:

GPT had a crack at some meme ideas. These are just basic ideas, you can refine the prompt to generate some truly magnificent ones if you want to spend the time to give feedback.

  1. The Fortress of Solitude: Picture an image of Superman’s Fortress of Solitude with the caption: “My QubesOS computer: the only place where I’m truly alone.”

  2. Security Overkill: A picture of a bank vault door with Qubes logo on it. The caption reads: “When you’re accused of overkill, but you’re just using QubesOS.”

  3. Remembering Windows: A person sitting in front of a QubesOS computer, with a thought bubble showing a “blue screen of death” from Windows, and the caption: “Remember when this was our biggest problem?”

  4. Easy to Use: Show a complex control panel of a spaceship with the QubesOS logo and the caption: "QubesOS: So easy a rocket scientist could use 9¢ with the caption: “Feeling like this every time I boot up QubesOS.”

Yeah, we’re back, it’s time to code and produce,
Turning heads with every line, our software qubes,
We stack 'em high, no bugs, no excuse,

Our qubes of innovation, you can’t refuse,

Elevating your software, no more to confuse.

Pretty nice! That deserves it’s own thread. It’s not everyday someone makes a Qubes rap!
