c10l,

I don’t mind the order of path, arguments and options, but what the hell is the deal with long arguments with a single dash? i.e. -name instead of —-name

c10l,

I fairly constantly need to disable Bluetooth on my iPad so they work on my phone.

If you put the headphones in pairing mode, you can just re-pair with the phone without having to touch the iPad.

Thinking about buying more storage. Warn me of the lemons!

Anyone got any recommendations or warnings about specific hdd / ssd / storage brands or models at the moment? Thinking about buying another drive instead of being smart and cleaning up my files. I've been pretty happy with Samsung but I've heard they had a clunker of a drive with high failure rates lately. HDD, SSD and I think I...

c10l,

Don’t squeeze them into your eyes. Don’t rub them on your skin and go to the sun. Don’t squeeze them on open wounds.

I think this is enough warnings about lemons for now.

As for storage advice, check Backblaze’s reports on drive failures!

c10l,

I got a couple of PM plugs with Matter support. I can’t pair them with HomeKit or Home Assistant. I spent about 5h troubleshooting this, inspecting network packets and whatnot and didn’t get any closer to having them working.

I’d rather things just had MQTT support. Happy with Zigbee though, as I can route those to MQTT as well.

c10l,

They’re Meross, this one specifically.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens (www.pbs.org)

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

c10l,

It’s not equivalent. Russia is at war with Ukraine. The USA and the UK are, in theory, not a part of this war - at least not directly.

It’s the equivalent of Ukraine threatening the countries arming Russia, if those countries decided to get more directly involved in the war.

c10l,

Why would they manually package them? Just grab the packages you need from testing or sid. This way you keep the solid Debian stable base OS and still bring in the latest and greatest of the things that matter for gaming.

c10l,

Stability is no longer an advantage when you are cherry picking from Sid lol.

This makes no sense. When 95% of the system is based on Debian stable, you get pretty much full stability of the base OS. All you need to pull in from the other releases is Mesa and related packages.

Perhaps the kernel as well, but I suspect they’re compiling their own with relevant parameters and features for the SD anyway, so not even that.

c10l,

You don’t and likely never will get a fully open stack for those GPUs. Even the latest Radeon cards have a lot of closed-source binary blobs for firmware.

Where the line is drawn between the driver and the firmware blobs makes a massive difference though. Look at the recent case of AMD trying (and failing) to license HDMI 2.1+ for their open source drivers.

c10l,

If they’re all resolving to the same IP and using a reverse proxy for name-based routing, there’s no need for multiple A records. A single wildcard should suffice.

c10l,

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a DNS provider that blocks wildcards.

I’ve been using wildcard DNS and certificates to accompany them both at home and professional in large scale services (think hundreds to thousands of applications) for many years without an issue.

The problem described in that forum is real (and in fact is pretty much how the recent attack on Fritz!Box users works) but in practice I’ve never seen it being an issue in a service VM or container. A very easy way to avoid it completely is to just not declare your host domain the same as the one in DNS.

c10l,

letting

That’s the kind of hubris that causes exactly what you’re asking about.

There’s people in those places who don’t want to keep being the US’s lapdogs.

c10l, (edited )

This is not defeat. It’s a strategic retreat on their part.

It’s embrace, extend, extinguish. Get workers used to going to the office one or two times a week whilst making it seem like they conceded, then slowly return to the legacy status quo.

Edit: lol why the downvotes? Do people really believe “the CEOs” have been “defeated”?

“To watch this crappy movie’s crappy trailer, give up on your privacy.” LOL no thanks.

c10l,

Not defending anyone here, but a paedophile is someone who’s sexually attracted to prepubescent children. I believe these days it’s extended to the early stages of puberty as well.

Most girls are well over that phase at age 14.

A 23 year-old having sex with a 14 year old may be morally and legally wrong depending on culture and jurisdiction, but the cases where it’s actual paedophilia are likely a small minority.

Again, I’m not defending anyone, but calling every person who’s attracted to minors a paedophile only serves to diminish the effect of the actual ones.

c10l,

That something else already exists and is called Matrix. I hope more people and projects migrate there!

A lot of third world countries have top of the line medical treatments. The difference to socially developed countries is in how accessible it is to the general population.

c10l,

I would get a CAD model of the PS5, import it into fusion and design the part around it either by extruding to it or using it as a cut tool.

c10l,

Note that this is not “just banning someone’s account because they don’t like it”. These are people involved in criminal investigations. Shutting them down is meant to plug their criminal activities so society doesn’t get further damaged by them while the police and judiciary work on actually convicting them.

As an aside: I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I disagree with your view but your question was asked respectfully and in good faith.

c10l,

That’s what I said. They’re under a criminal investigation.

c10l,

You don’t punish them per se, but you do sanction them.

For example, Bolsonaro can’t leave the country even though he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.

Also, someone who’s been accused of murder will probably be arrested preventatively if the judge in charge has reason to believe they will reincide before the proceedings are through.

These things happen all the time and they’re designed to protect society from further damage from criminals who haven’t yet been fully judged and processed.

c10l,

I always reserve around 1h to go anywhere by tube. For places closer to me, 30-40min will do. Between walking to and from the stations, plus train wait times and walking between platforms for a change, the 15min idea is dead on arrival. Not to mention that this hour is filled with air, noise and visual pollution.

That said, I do have a small Saino’s about 10min from me, and a big Tesco 15-20min depending on how tired I am. If that counts as a 15min city, then you’re spot on.

c10l,

They mention versions from 5.5.1 are affected.

Everywhere else I’ve read only 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 are.

Is this an abundance of caution by the Debian security team, or is Debian’s earlier version affected due to patching done by the package maintainers?

c10l,

That phrase used to drive me nuts. It’s so obvious its meaning is conveyed a lot better by flipping it around!

Installing a standard Linux just works

I have to send in my Deck for an RMA. As I had to reimage it anyways I decided to play around with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It took some small trial and error, but by booting into the Gnome live image I could enable the on screen keyboard in the accessibility settings and thus complete the install of Tumbleweed without any...

c10l,

Game mode is Big Picture running on a gamescope-only session.

You can get that on other distros, like ChimeraOS does [0] but it takes a bit of work and some options will probably not work the way you expect them.

Particularly anything to do with Networking config or Bluetooth will probably not be present at all.
