This is a wonderful explainer, thank you!

Probably, but they aren’t required to
According to the National Archives, it seems like succession might not necessarily apply and would likely be argued over by lawyers should he die before the Electoral College meets. I’ll paste their text below, and I pasted the link in a separate answer
What happens if a candidate dies or becomes incapacitated?
There is no Federally-required process to follow if a candidate who is projected to receive electoral votes dies or becomes incapacitated between the general election and the meeting of electors. However, individual States may have their own requirements that govern how electors must vote at the meeting of the electors. In 1872, when Horace Greeley passed away between Election Day and the meeting of electors, the electors who were slated to vote for Greeley voted for various candidates, including Greeley. The votes cast for Greeley were not counted due to a House resolution passed regarding the matter. See the full Electoral College vote counts for President and Vice President in the 1872 election.
We don’t know what would happen if a candidate who, dies after or becomes incapacitated between the meeting of electors and the counting of electoral votes in Congress.
The Constitution is silent on whether this candidate meets the definition of “President elect” or “Vice President elect.” If the candidate with a majority of the electoral votes is considered “President elect” before the counting of electoral votes in Congress, §3 of the 20th Amendment applies. That section states that the Vice President elect will become President if the President-elect dies or becomes incapacitated.
If a winning Presidential candidate dies or becomes incapacitated between the counting of electoral votes in the Congress and the inauguration, the Vice President-elect becomes President, according to §3 of the 20th Amendment.
Strangely, it sort of depends on when. If he dies before the EC meets, it’s up for lawyers to argue, from my reading of the text.
Here’s a horrifying thought: JD’s Silicon Valley puppetmasters wait until Trump has served just over 2 years into his term, then invoke the 25th and install JD. In the meantime, the MAGA types work the system to ensure they can guarantee a Vance victory through whatever means necessary for the next 2 cycles (since his first abbreviated session won’t count as an official term), or a total of 10 years, before most Americans even realize we have sleepwalked into a Vance dictatorship funded by and primarily benefiting oligarchs like Musk and Thiel

But will you try actually installing the update on a machine or 50 to see if you bork things horrifically?
Crowdstrike: “We are really focused on unit testing right now”
I probably misread it, don’t mind my grumbling, rabble rabble rabble
That’s just, like, your opinion…
It’s a described feature of a paid service though, so it goes a bit beyond just being nice. More importantly for me, the app also leaks memory insanely, at least in the latest Debian build. I spun up a Windows vm with ProtonVPN because the Linux experience (which, again, I pay for) was too frustrating
I see what you mean, thank you for sharing, I could make this a bash script and that is one of the changes I’d want to make to make it more user friendly for sure. For now it was mostly notes I made and felt like sharing in case it was helpful, but cleaning it up with file edits and even a menu to drop in the compose files and a screen for optional external storage integration would be a good idea
Maybe, I’m a bajillion years old and have a knack for choosing poorly, but it’s in the documentation still and works really well on Debian boxes for homelab services so I’ve been having fun with it. It also brought me into the world of Proxmox and LXC containers as the very next step on my learning journey. So, it can’t be all bad, right? :)
Regardless, setting up a single Docker node is the same as setting up a cluster in terms if the initial steps, you just leave out the swarmy bits.
And legally immune from anything the SC will twist reality to call an “official act”! He, and the people that funded his ascendancy, have a plan
