Good morning, Windows users! Linux is a (mostly) beautiful thing :-)

The Windows 11 June 2026 security update (KB5094126) is actively causing critical boot failures (Blue Screens of Death like error 0xc0430001), BitLocker recovery loops, and system freezes a few minutes after startup. The issue stems from a conflict involving Secure Boot background tasks and low storage capacity in the EFI System Partition (ESP), heavily impacting laptop users (especially HP and Dell machines)

Quick Fix: Temporary Bypass to Access WindowsIf your PC is stuck on a black screen or Blue Screen during boot, you must temporarily bypass Secure Boot to log in and fix it:Turn off your computer completely.Power it back on and immediately tap the BIOS/UEFI key (usually F2, F10, or Del depending on your manufacturer).Locate the Security or Boot tab.Find Secure Boot and switch it to Disabled.Save changes and exit. Your PC should now boot successfully into Windows so you can apply a permanent solution.

My kitchen collection just grew by two: A single bevel santuko and single bevel nakiri, carbon steel, hand forged by Tsukasa Suzuki. Time to cook!

I spent a week in Berlin. It rained every day I was there. I still loved it :-) But especially this:

Reposting a reply I made to this post. We are very far from this now. So, thank you, Trumpers, for voting to turn father-son heritage into a disgrace.

I was thinking about this guy in light of today's events with ICE in LA, and it seems the difference between China and the US is that in the US it's not at all certain the tanks would stop.
