To provision VMs yes, to configure them I think Ansible works best. But you can call Ansible from Terraform.

It’s probably both

You can use udev rules and systemd mount or AutoFs.

It was definitely a headache for me as well, but you need a guest agent (like vmwaretools or qemu-guest-agent), a cloud init ready template for the distro of your choice, a cloud init config file (network/user/vendor) and a custom SCSI/ide cloudinit cdrom mounted at boot on your VM. You also can find cloudinit logs on your VM to try and figure out what’s missing or what went wrong.

To me, it sounds somewhat like hyper focusing. Are you familiar with ADHD or ASD?

Call me chauvinistic but France is absolutely special in many ways. The diversity of landscapes for a country this size is absolutely mad, not even considering the Outre Mer. The history is insanely rich, the culture is definitely worthwhile, and I’m not even talking about the food and its sheer diversity.

The problem is us, Frenchies, we’ve definitely lost our spark and are getting propaganded to hell. It’s a very sad state of affairs.

Less chauvinistically, I really like Norway and the Nordics in general.

Sex work is going to happen whether it’s legal or not. Might as well regulate it and provide sex workers with a legal framework, healthcare, retirement funds, etc.

Oh shit, I was miserable back when I installed Arch. Dang, you might be onto something there!

That’s strange, apart from installing it, Arch is pretty painless to run if you’re not careless

Well it’s a good step in the right direction, not a massive difference but still

And damage!

I’m sure we’ve seen nothing yet

I’m French ahah. But sometimes it’s nice to see your country from an outside perspective. Being a tourist in your own country can be interesting!

Is it possible for you to share your list?

You can read about SELinux here or ACLs here. SELinux can be pretty complex if you’ve never used it, so make sure you understand it well. I believe it should be able to do what you want to achieve.

I guess you can use ACLs depending on your filesystem, or SELinux user contexts.

Yeah that would incite you to lie from now on.

Say what you want about tiktok but damn if it isn’t extremely effective at sending information out of reach from governments, I don’t know what it is. You can see they fear it hard.

Maybe it’s badly implemented where I work, but I feel it’s clunky and messy

He’s not wrong but he sounds like a jackass. A minimal version sounds better than removing features that are present and used by people.
