ethanolparty,

My workplace disabled extensions today,

This gives me cold sweats

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

ethanolparty,

A few years ago I was having obscure audio problems on Ubuntu so I tried replacing pulseaudio with pipewire. I was feeling pretty cocky with using the package manager so I tried

sudo apt install pipewire

Installed successfully, realized nothing changed, figured maybe I had to get rid of pulseaudio to make it stick.

sudo apt remove pulseaudio

Just two commands. Instant black screen, PC reboots into the terminal interface. No GUI. Rebooting again just brings me back to the terminal.

I fixed it eventually, but I’m really not very computer literate despite using Linux, so I was sweating bullets for a minute that I might have bricked it irreversibly or something.

ethanolparty,

Same thing happened to me! I was on Ubuntu, trying to replace pulse and when it got removed instantly kicked me to the terminal. Eventually I fixed it but now I also just Mint, lol

ethanolparty,

I remember listening to this track just before the pandemic started. Seems surprisingly prescient now.

ethanolparty,

Gotta respect they’re still tearing it up after 55 years as a band

ethanolparty,

“Tech death” doesn’t normally do much for me either to be honest, but I agree this one has some nice clean leads that makes this way more listenable than I would’ve expected from the genre

Actually I don’t even know if “tech death” a fully accurate label for this, Metallum lists the band as “Technical Death/Black/Thrash Metal” which just sounds like one of those hyper-specific joke subgenres people make up lol

ethanolparty,

whatever comes with the distro I’m using this month

ethanolparty,

“Don’t think we can’t fuckin shred just because we play Doom metal”

ethanolparty,

LAY DOWN YOUR SOULS TO THE GODS ROCK AND ROLL

ethanolparty,

I liked this latest album even more than their debut, good stuff.

Need help figuring out why I can't see all posts in a community thru a different instance

Hi, I recently moved to Lemmy and decided to take feddit.de as my primary instance. I would like however to actually see other communities on other instances too. So I set out to check other communities. Take https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah as an example. When I open that link directly I can see many posts:...

ethanolparty,

I guess with the influx of Reddit refugees hammering the servers, syncing between ALL instances is super shaky right now. Like, view this thread from lemmy.sdf.org and none of the comments are visible.

Another example:

lemmy.world/c/metal@lemmy.world

feddit.de/c/metal@lemmy.world (Hasn't been updated in three days!)

lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/metal@lemmy.world (404 error, even though the two instances are supposed to be federated)

ethanolparty,

Deus Ex

Welp, somebody said the magic words, time to reinstall. I think I'll go with the GEP gun this time.
