“After 8 years of MacOS, and frequent CLI conversations with the u**x heavy iron⟳ up the street, I have⟳ a vision where all OS' converge towards a unix-like system where extensions are loaded and dumped on the fly⟳ as apps need⟳, which can be command-lined for those who want⟳, or have⟳ the GUI of your choice to protect⟳ the innocent from actually seeing the engine.”

“Scoured the internet for additional resources, tried the Safe Mode fix⟳, tried the Catroot2 log⟳ file⟳ deletion, tried the registry fix⟳, started and rebooted and command-lined the crypto services about 27 times, tried all the so-called fixes on the entire microsoft website world of wonder⟳.”

“One other thing, when I'm not sure, but I think⟳ that after I command-lined "/var/lib/logrotate.status" the terminal hung and then I did a "df" and wow! almost 30% of that usage evaporated for some strange reason⟳.”
