Yep. I’m on Debian for many years now. Every broken update I can recall was either caused by an undocumented PPA or nvidia drivers (which have finally been fixed, for my card at least)

Way back when, Slashdot had something like this to place in your signature. It was a code string that looked like a PGP/GPG signature but the letters were actually personal details.

I recall you could encode age, gender, and relationship status in it, and I think location and whether you worked in the tech industry

That makes much more sense than “tofu table”
