  • It still is! If you try and boot a kernel with nothing in /dev, you won’t get most of the kernel boot messages since /dev/console doesn’t exist. You need a basic set of device nodes in /dev before udev is started.

    If you’re going to rsync a system to new hardware and exclude /dev /proc /sys, it’s better to setup a new mount of your / to a different directory and sync off that, so you get the underlying stuff without the cruft.






  • Laurie says she was still waiting for guidance when ICE agents returned to the airport looking for another passenger. This time, she made a different choice. She called the supervisor at the gate, asked for the passenger’s phone number and called the woman herself.

    “I know this is going to sound extremely radical, or crazy,” she recounted telling the woman, “but ICE is there at the gate, and they’re looking for you."

    There was a pause. “Are you serious?” the woman asked.

    “Yes,” Laurie said. “I know this is crazy, but I promise you. I’m being serious.”

    “Should I leave?” the woman asked. “I think it might be best if you do,” Laurie said.

    That’s awesome. Good for her.
