UnityDevice,

I mean that makes sense at least, because otherwise the adjacent neighbours will be having to pay more as they’re still heating their apparent. You do have to make some sacrifices when living in a block, that’s one of them.

Well I believe if someone is benefiting from a common good, they should contribute to that good, but maybe I’m not Laissez-faire enough for this world, or “leftymemes”.

As an outsider it’s really annoying when someone just doesn’t understand the reality they find themselves in.

A third party isn’t in the cards, it never is, but it especially isn’t right now. The only way to get a third party elected is to change your voting system, but that’s a process that takes years, decades even. It’s really not as easy as wasting a vote with a third party, it takes a lot more effort. And the only way to start or continue that process right now is to vote Biden because if Trump wins you might not even get another election to vote in.

And Trump has a good chance of winning because the republicans aren’t having such discussions. They know what to do, and come election day they’ll all march in and do their job, like they do every time. Remember that he only won last time because people like you felt icky about voting for Clinton.

If you allow me a moment of catharsis, I’ll just add that if you Americans once again subject the world to more Trump insanity, I really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

UnityDevice,

The message that we approve of the removal of the headphone jack done in order to peddle wireless headphones…

UnityDevice,

I believe this is about air pollution, as in the dirty kind, not co2.

UnityDevice,

All public companies are, it’s just what Boeing makes things that fall out of the sky if they mess up, so it’s more obvious.

Mirror all data on NAS A to NAS B

I’m duplicating my server hardware and moving the second set off site. I want to keep the data live since the whole system will be load balanced with my on site system. I’ve contemplated tools like syncthing to make a 1 to 1 copy of the data to NAS B but i know there has to be a better way. What have you used successfully?

UnityDevice,

Just have NAS A send a rocket with the data to NAS B.

UnityDevice,

People like to interpret things with a modern lense. The translation of his job title might be carpenter, and people then go “ok, what does a carpenter do nowadays - builds chairs and tables, right”. But the word being translated is more aking to “builder”, a construction carpenter, a mason, something along those lines.

UnityDevice,

I really like gnome the software, but I’ve started considering moving away from it after a decade simply because of how toxic and difficult gnome the project can be.

UnityDevice,

There are two ways you can do this on Android currently, but they’re not as quick. You can try to unlock with the wrong finger 5 times and it will stop allowing fingerprint unlocks. Or, you can hold down the power button for 10 seconds and the phone will reboot and also disable fingerprint unlocking.

I remember the clusterfuck that existed before systemd, so I love systemd.

UnityDevice,

By having the stupid idea of existing next to Russia (or a similar country).

UnityDevice,

If this was done by multiple people, I’m sure the person that designed this delivery mechanism is really annoyed with the person that made the sloppy payload, since that made it all get detected right away.

UnityDevice,

Because Bedrock runs on phones, tablets, consoles, and a host of other random crap

And it also removes Linux support. Typical Microsoft.

UnityDevice,

Then they’ll just identify you by the sound of the printer being audible from down the street.

UnityDevice,

Seems to me that a lot of the world’s problems start with “well, the managers think…” They all seem extremely bad at the whole managing thing, good thing we don’t overpay them or anything like that.

As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

UnityDevice,

TIL there are Linux people that don’t use OpenWRT. I always assumed everyone in the Linux community used it. It’s great.

Works great with mt7621 based routers if anyone ends up looking for something compatible.

UnityDevice,

Linux and a windows virtual machine with a dedicated nvme hard drive and GPU using PCI pass-through. Windows is boxed in but easily accessed when you need it, and the performance is 95% of native, or more. And because of the dedicated hard drive, you can still dual-boot it like normal if you want.

Also, I recommend installing windows 10 enterprise in the VM, minimal bloat.

I believe they’re called “logicool” in Japan. So maybe it’s some form of logo consolidation.

UnityDevice,

It’s not just about hardware compatibility. It has to be compatible with existing workflows, and it’s currently very limiting.

UnityDevice,

For me it’s a million little details that just don’t work. Stuff like positioning windows, removing decorations from a window, remapping buttons on a trackball, setting a graphics output to tvrgb, disabling a display via ssh and enabling it again, etc.

I use gnome for the most part. I have been checking out kde recently to see how the newer versions stack up (gave up on it during the 4.0 days). As you mention kde supports dpms changes on wayland because they have their own protocol extension for that.

That’s actually my biggest gripe with wayland - the huge amount of fragmentation it has caused. I’m pretty confident that almost all the missing features I talked about are possible on one or two of the compositors, but not all of them. And definitely not on the one I use. I’m sure once some pragmatism takes hold that all the issues will be ironed out, but my plan for now is to stick to X11 until that happens.

UnityDevice,

To be fair though, they just need to make everything USB-C anyhow.

Careful what you wish for. Putting advanced electronics into very simple devices will just make them fail a lot faster.
Some old device just needed 12V over a barrel jack to run some motor or light and charge the battery and it lasted a decade - only failed because the battery got old. New one now needs a state of the art power delivery chip to negotiate the right voltage and current, and all over a very fine pitch connector that will fail if you look at it wrong. Not looking good on the durability front at all.

I don’t work for Apple, but I am an electronics engineer. Just don’t be surprised when your simpler devices start failing.

UnityDevice,

set -euo pipefail at the top of every script makes stuff a lot safer. Explanation here.
