Context: I need to have installed a a program called Smowl, which is a closed-source app that records EVERYTHING to make sure you don’t do weird stuff while doing an online exam. To avoid installing such monstrosity on my laptop, and since virtualbox is probably banned, I wanted to use a persistent bootable device to have the...

If somebody theoretically wanted to watch all seasons of the amazing show New Zealand Today when the official streaming is geo locked and has blacklisted VPNs in NZ - how would they theoretically do it?...

This has happened to me more than once...

I am building my 3-2-1 backup system and wanted to add an external HD to my TrueNAS machine. Since it only works with ZFS, I thought of setting up that drive as a compressed, dedup ZFS volume....

apparently I didn’t ask the correct question with my last post: I’m looking for a foss messenger I can also send audio and video with and have a conversation over the smartphone not needing to use voip (and not needing a phone number).

I have recently received an older computer (ryzen x1600, vega56, 16gb ram, upgraded with an m2 ssd) and it went through some stages:...

I’m a coffee newb - bought an Aeropress and a Rhino hand grinder, and I’ve sort of flailed around changing things randomly and ended up with an enjoyable repeatable cup by sticking to the same beans, grind, water temperature, brew time & method that seems to work for me....

Does anyone know if there are plans underway to allow user-level flatpak installations using GNOME Software?...

You’d think they’d increase the number of judges or whatever. They’re going to have the cost regardless, so do it faster.

So when it comes to politics/news/war i try to burry my head as deep in sand as i can because there is nothing i can do and i guess i just wanna avoid . So can someone explain to me all about it without any bias or give me any links/articles which does that ? I know this has been going on for a long time but i only need the...

For those who are traveling across the U.S., Terre Haute is on I-70, so you will probably drive through it. There’s not a huge number of reasons to stop (I know, I live here), but I highly recommend this one. It’s just off the interstate in a shopping mall, so it’s very easy to get to....

What are some things I can try and will benefit me while I have this 1 yr free trial?...

I got into a mild accident last week; after being checked out, i don’t have anything broken but i have torn ligaments in one of my feet. My recovery has mostly been resting my foot and not putting pressure on; i’m not allowed to go for a walk. Would I be able to go swimming? This way I can keep my foot from being stiff but i...

With all the news, I couldn’t find the information. All I know is from a Lemmy user who said Signal stated they won’t connect with Whatsapp. I really want to swap off a Meta-owned app, but cannot lose access to the people who use Whatsapp....

I just noticed today that old.startrek.website isn’t loading properly. The fact that zero people have said anything to the admins makes me wonder if anyone’s using it at all. So speak up if you are! I will be happy to fix it for you, but otherwise may just uninstall....

Though it makes for better TV to have Picard.

He will carry out his plans by making various decisions. He will build his army and send it into battles, weave intrigues and deceptions, create secret spy...

I just started watching Discovery season 3. I was quite traumatized by the low quality of s02, but I decided to give season 3 a chance because I like most of the characters. Now comes the point. I do like Saru a lot nowadays, but at first I was put off a bit by his treatment of the tardigrade. Did any of you mind his lack of...

You’ve just beamed aboard /c/StarTrek - Welcome!...

I have a mobile wireless router (PW100 4G LTE Router) that provides WiFi via a SIM card. I have purchased several data “bundle codes”. One way to activate a data code is to send a USSD code: 101CODE#...

I’m going to repurpose my S21 since I just got a new phone that could be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. However, I’ve told that the U.S variant of the S21 (Snapdragon 888) can’t be rooted and have the boot loader unlocked. Is this true and I’m simply chasing a pipedream? Or can it actually be done?
