I've worked for a university before and it was very common for staff to remote into their systems from home -- usually with SSH for CS types or Remote Desktop/Team Viewer/etc. for less computer-focused folks. (The former usually didn't have much issue -- the folks using the latter mechanisms got compromised a number of times... -.-) There was also a campus provided VPN that was required to access certain systems with instructions to students and staff on how to use it, but other systems just got public IP addresses.

If what you're doing is related to your work and campus IT doesn't object, you're probably fine to do it. I've run various kinds of websites and web apps for colleagues to collaborate on research projects. Being able to do things like that is kind of the point of the internet.

Having seen a number of students, uh, push the limits and find the boundaries of acceptability the hard way though... I'd strongly advise you not to install cryptominers, run TOR exit nodes, or torrent TV shows/movies/etc. That kind of thing tends to get your systems in hot water with IT or other parts of the bureaucracy...

That's just when it left its impression on me, I guess. :-)

I have heard of people studying grain flow, so my thoughts first went down that direction but I was at a loss what that had to do with either quantum entanglement or metals. 😛️

I clearly need more sleep. I spent far too long wondering what "rice physicists" do before realizing what the title actually meant. 🤦️

Nice! Glad I could help!

Should be on your install media. If I mount linuxmint-22.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso on my computer right now, I see:

EFI/boot/bootia32.efi
EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
EFI/boot/grubx64.efi

Sorry to link to reddit, but have you already tried the suggestions in this thread from a year ago: https://old.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/16tf1vl/something_has_gone_seriously_wrong_import_mok/ ?

Large (1920x9750, ~3MB) screenshot for posterity + those who absolutely do not want to access reddit at all: https://files.catbox.moe/mqsdxh.png

Edit: (Related links)

I'd try the "copy \EFI\BOOT\grubx64.efi to EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi" solution personally and see what happens. If that works, you might just have an obnoxious BIOS on that computer.

I wouldn't personally object to the community becoming "visual novels (and other IF)", especially while posting volume is low.

In principle, sure. I'm not aware of an existing out-of-the-box solution that'd do what you want, but it also wouldn't surprise me terribly if someone's cobbled something together to do this before.

If I wanted to make something like this personally (and couldn't find an existing solution), I'd start by doing some research into PBX software like Asterisk, what derivatives and extensions people have made for that, etc. -- being mindful that I'd likely be digging into a deep rabbit hole...
