~ one script to rule them all!
~ block build upgrades and/or automatic updates without breawking Store downloads and Defender protection updates
~ there is a lot of focus on Defender updates working independently, unlike any other updates "management" solution
~ ifeo safe blocking with no destructive changes of ownership, deleting files, removing tasks, or over-blocking
~ toggle everything from the Desktop right-click context menu!
but wait, there is more:
~ hide/unhide/install update lists with counter at the Desktop right-click context menu!

Previous update toggle batch suite scripts have been overwritten on pastebin, but will still be available here:

How to recover lost Python source code if it's still resident in-memory

I screwed up using git ("git checkout --" on the wrong file) and managed to delete the code I had just written... but it was still running in a process in a docker container. Here's how I got it back, using https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrasite/ and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/uncompyle6

Attach a shell to the docker container

Install GDB (needed by pyrasite)

apt-get update && apt-get install gdb

Ubuntu Packer VirtualBox

A simple Packer + Vagrant VirtualBox install of Ubuntu live-server 22.04 (x86) using Cloud-Init, and documentation of my host desktop.

host setup

A fresh install of any supported LTS or the latest Ubuntu desktop version is good. I have tested this on ubuntu 18.04.6 running on an i5-4570 (4 core 3.20GHz) with 16GB of RAM, a nearly 10 year old computer. Get a dedicated machine, it need not be fancy or new.

Update and get setup with some tools + deps first:
