Metro Vancouver transit: Highway 1 needs trains, not lanes

    There currently aren't any active volcanoes in the Canadian Rockies, but there is still magma towards the base of them that we'd run into if we tried to bore tunnels straight through. In theory, we could bore tunnels at a sharp incline to go over the magma; but that basically eliminates all the benefit vs just building rail lines on the surface like we already have, plus there's the added complexity of trying to make an earthquake-safe tunnel that crosses a fault line.

  • Not just expensive, downright impossible. The Rockies are volcanic, so boring a level tunnel through the base of the mountains is out of the question. They're also very steep, which necessitates a lot of switchbacks, sharp curves, and even a pair of spiral tunnels at Kicking Horse Pass. We can and do run normal trains through these lines, but the geography severely limits how fast we can move through the terrain.

  • Ok, there's the problem. Your boot partition is pretty much full. You're using partitions instead of lvm, so expanding the partition will be next to impossible; so start looking through /boot for stuff that's safe to delete. It's weird that you have so much stuff in there, I don't think I've ever seen my boot partition go above 250mb used.

    What's the output of df -H?

    Also, this sounds like it's installing initramfs, which is normally only done when first installing the OS; can we get a list of the packages it's trying to install/upgrade?

  • Auto update itself isn't the root problem. The problem is that apt update is hanging and never finishing. It just happens to be getting called automatically as part of an auto update system, but the root issue would still persist even if OP disables auto updates.

    When apt update fails to complete, it's almost always because of a broken repo somewhere; hence my question about sources.list.

  • Your estate refers to everything you own. If you own a car, it'll be sold to cover your debts when you die. Same with your house, all of the food in it, your computer with all of your porn tabs still open, and even your signed vhs collection of rare midget scat porn from the 1990s. It all gets sold off to settle your debts when you die, before it can be distributed to your next of kin.

  • Definitely sounds like auto-update if it's respawning itself on every boot. The fact that it never exits is weird though; have you added any third party repos? What's in your apt sources.list file(s)?

  • I noticed my car had been keyed this morning. How should I go about fixing it?
  • Vandalism would normally be covered by comprehensive coverage, and won't affect your premiums; you'll just have to pay a deductible. If you tried to do it yourself, you'd never get the paint to match quite right, so you're better off taking it to an auto body shop to have it professionally repaired.
