I feel like Vietnam veterans who were objectors could fall in this category. Plenty of them were forced to go. In the end, anyone who was drafted and didn’t want to be would have some level of understanding from me.

I only buy ipv6 cakes, so I’m good.

What kind of storage is it running on? Maybe the filesystem went read-only as another possibility to cmos battery issues.

Usually a cmos battery alone wouldn’t cause something like logging to stop.
