gomp,

Tangentially OT:

“Snapdragon X Elite”? Wasn’t the name “Snapdragon” already enough cringe? :)

gomp,

Didn’t know about the flower!

Qualcomm didn’t actually choose the name because of it (they choose it because it “sounded fast and fierce”), but now that I know about the flower I’ll think of it instead of snappy dragons whenever I hear the SOC name.

gomp,

If you actually read OP post, they are not asking for the moon and… definitely non “demanding” anything.

gomp,

That sounds a lot like “doesn’t matter what words actually mean. I am right nonetheless”.

…but I’m sure you’ll have some personal definition of “semantics” that will allow you to say you are still right, just like you could say “beggars can’t be choosers” in a context where no one is a beggar and there are in fact lots of viable choices.

gomp,

It’s pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=…

Of course most of the rest is speculation, but… to the article seems honest enough about it?

gomp,

vi or vim […] :q to quit

you are depriving OP of an experience there… getting stuck in vi is a rite of passage nobody should be denied (but, alas, a lot of distros carry nano nowadays)

gomp, (edited )

You should ask the seller to make sure, but I’d assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it’s difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.

gomp,

Edit: the linux-company thing is just for triggering people, sorry I didn’t know it was this effective.

Errrr… why would you try to trigger people, especially while asking for their help? Don’t you think it’s plain rude?

gomp,

Same here, until I read OP’s intentions.

Writing stuff to trigger people is the definition of being a troll (well, one of the possible definitions).

It’s worth nothing that a mediocre troll can sometime pass for a comedian.

My /var/tmp folder is endlessly stacking up on "container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx" folders? (slrpnk.net)

The issue at hand: My /var/tmp folder is stacking up on literary hundreds of folders called “container_images_storage_xxxxxxxxxx”, where the x’s present a random number. Each folder contains the following files called 1, 2 and 3 as seen in thumbnail. Each folder seems to increase in size too, as the lowest I can see is the...

gomp,

No idea but I found this: github.com/containers/podman/issues/20839

gomp,

Most newbies would have a hard time and most experienced people would grab the “unofficial” non-free image for installing just in case and then disable non-free if it wasn’t needed.

I’ve not verified this, but does the installer actually install the non-free firmware if it’s not needed?

gomp, (edited )

Man, people do love arguing about words without providing (or looking up) their definitions.

Does the GPL being non “restrictive” mean I can use GPL code in my proprietary software? What word that doesn’t offend you should I use to describe this fact?

This is as useless as the git main/master branch debate a while ago.

gomp,

but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website

AFAIK scraping publicly accessible websites is fine in most countries (IANAL, look into it)

gomp,

Windows is getting worse and worse

and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)

gomp,

To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).

gomp,

You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one… but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)…

IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no “help me catch the bigger fish and I’ll only charge you with some minor crime” like in the movies.

So… yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can’t happen just anywhere :)

gomp,

Thinkpad A485

I had one of those, but the trackpad occasionally wouldn’t work until I rebooted several times (I was using fedora). Did you run into any similar issue?

gomp, (edited )

IDK about the issue itself but I must say the discourse post does a mighty good job at explaining the reasons the guy was NOT suspended for and a really terrible one at explaining what they actually did suspend him for, except pissing off “the moderation team, in consultation with members of the Foundation board”.

gomp,

You create a new raid array with the two new disks and move the data there? I fear you’ll have to be more specific about what doesn’t add up for you…

gomp,

In your shoes I’d do just that (booting from a usb stick and creating/mounting the appropriate partitions in the new drives)… but you might find resilvering or resizing partitions easier if you are more familiar with those operations that I am.

It must be said that actually copying the files rather than working with block devices will let you switch to a different filesystem (or take advantage of updates/optimizations recently introduced by your filesystem) or use different mount options (eg. add compression) and should in theory lead to better performance (eg. less fragmentation). In a homelab the performance difference will probably be unnoticeable anyways so… just go with the method you are most comfortable with :)

gomp,

No idea what’s actually happening, but it might also be one of the pages/sites using more and more resources wothout proper cleanup.

gomp,

Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)… what doesn’t make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)

gomp,

I wouldn’t know what to recommend, but… are you looking for a web based thing or a desktop app?

gomp,

@mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be “world news” but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper

gomp, (edited )

Err… you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and only complained about how little relevance (global newsworthiness) the fact has?

Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community… I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I’m leaving. Sorry if I’ve been a bother.
