Omg…I had no idea… The song makes so much more sense now!

Why doesn’t she get much attention anymore?!

No problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Access_Card

Essentially it’s a physical token containing a certificate. I can then put that card into a CAC card reader and authenticate with it and a PIN that I setup on my card.

I can then also sign PDF signature blocks with the cert on the card. I have only found this ability in Adobe Acrobat. The signature block in Adobe is different from just their regular sign location for digital ink. I’ve never made a PDF with one of those blocks, I’ve only just signed them so I’m not sure what exactly that kind of signing block is called.

So bottom line, it’s a physical card with a certificate loaded on it. Adobe can read that cert and use it to sign signature blocks inside a PDF.

I don’t suppose you’re able to sign PDFs with something like a CAC card right? Is that still wholly in the realm of acrobat?

Literally the only thing I need another software to do so I can finally uninstall the last Adobe product from my VM. I’m running Linux so getting this functionality in Linux would be ideal. But since no one else has done it, I assume Adobe has some kind of stranglehold on that process?

Lol yeah, I was reading them chronologically…60-ish books in or whatever I’m like wait… You just gonna leave it at Vlad and the Steiner-Davions like that?! I don’t get a resolution for Kathryn? I don’t get a resolution for my peeps in the Wolves in a Exile?! Just gonna jump decades into the future?

Well I don’t like that at all…

Delete everything that happened in the Battletech lore for where the last civil war book ended. Then keep writing the civil war timeline so it’s actually finished instead of where it’s been left.

I use Mailspring. Thunderbird was crashing a lot for me a few months ago but I had used TB for a long time so I will probably move back to it soon.

Anyone have a non webp version of this?

A combination of Yubikey and Enpass (I got Enpass back when it was $15 for perpetual).

I need to root my Kindle…

Awesome, thanks! I’ll give that a shot. Although I use Firefox so I’ll have to see if they make it for non chromium.

Which one do you use? I’ve used a handful over the years and they all stop working for me.

Wewt! I’m actually doing a rescuzilla backup of my Windows box right now because I’m about to install CachyOS on my Surface.

That’s part of why I’m here. I’ve been following linux on surface’s installation guide and I’ve updated my post with the errors I’m currently running into. I’m not sure if the errors have anything to do with the touchscreen/pen issues though.

I did run the lspci -nn -k command. I can put it in here if you’d like but it’s a long list. I don’t see anything in there specifically talking about the touchscreen or pen however there are a number of Microsoft hub devices. It could be one of those, I just don’t know.

So I did try to install their linux kernel but I ran into an error regarding mkinitcpio and nvidia. I updated my original post with the errors I’ve run into.

To your second set of questions. It’s a bit multi-layered. I’m wanting to move my main laptop, a Surface Laptop Studio, off of Windows and onto Linux. The linux on surface project also supports the SLS. I game on my SLS as well so a gaming focused distro is where I’m targeting. Additionally, at some point, I’m going to build a full PC with high end gear. From what I’ve heard, Arch is good for high end/bleeding edge kind of hardware. So with all that combined, I figured I should probably start learning Arch’s idiosyncrasies as I’m coming from debian mainly when I do use Linux. I have an old Surface Book 2 and thought it would make a good testbed for this process which is how I ended up using hardware as old as that.

Yeah I did check their compatibility matrix and the SB2 is fully compatible except for the IR in the camera array. The only requirement is that you need to use the Linux-Surface kernel which I did install. I updated my post with some errors I’m running into trying to get troubleshooting done. I don’t know if the errors have anything to do with the touchscreen not working but they are something I guess.

I literally ran into this last night trying to install Cachyos on my old surface. I was relieved when the wireless worked in the installer and so incredibly confused when it doesn’t now… I’m still trying to fix it lol.

Corrected my original post. I’ve also updated it to reflect that larger context as well as the content in the “…” menu option.

Selecting the “Cancel Download” within the “…” menu only stops the download for that instance. When the Store rechecks for updates, this will pop back up. There doesn’t seem to be a way to tell the Store to ignore updates for that product.

If there’s isn’t a way to disable specific updates, then I’m not sure what I would want to do as I also have PowerToys installed. That also get updated via this context and I like that streamline so I’d prefer not to turn off ALL 3rd party updates if you even can.

Correct. I had mistakenly stated Windows Update and I meant the updates via the Microsoft Store. I’ve updated my post to correct that mistake and added some clarifications.

No, I used CSP’s installer not via the MS Store.
