Wondering if anyone has a workaround to treat controller inputs as something that will keep the computer awake. I like to have my power settings set to timeout the screen after a short period of inactivity due to having an OLED laptop screen (minimize burn in). Problem is if I’m playing a game with a controller, it doesn’t...
I like to run qBittorrent on a Linux laptop to try and minimize the risk of Microsoft tracking what I’m doing and to protect my main system from viruses. I’m having an issue with it though. When I go into Advanced and select Network Interface, Proton VPN is not an option there. I only get lo, eno1, wlp4s0, ipv6leakintrf0,...
I saw some people fishing the other day in 16 degree Fahrenheit (-9 Celsius) weather at 4:30AM. They were not ice fishing with a little hut, but standing at the base of a bridge with no shelter or campfire. People are at that bridge fishing regularly when it is cold but that was the coldest temp I have seen so far. Why is it so...
A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne? What do you guys suggest? She is in probably in her early 20s if it helps, and I am in senior...
I’ve always known that AV1 and Opus are more efficient than HEVC/VP9 and MP3/Vorbis, but exactly how is this achieved? Is it just a matter of more efficient compression?
I’ve finally fallen in love with reading again over the last year. Problem is I’ve only been reading non-fiction. it makes my brain hurt. I’d like to have some stuff I can turn to when attempting to read gender trouble gives me another headache. I don’t have any particular preference for genre. I used to read fantasy,...
I would love to find the source material for the dialogue bits at the beginning of these two different songs, but repeated searches haven’t turned up anything for me on either of them,...
Racism, sexism and all the various other “hate these people” isms and phobias are arguably methods for expressing and rationalizing anger. And they’re bad. But what’s a good way?
Hi all, as a child I spent a lot of time working in the Processing language. Does this have any transferrable use cases / what’s the point it even exists?
EDIT 2024-02-18: Solved! JohnnyMac was right, I have no clue why, but the boot priority changed and the reboot after the update caused the issue to manifest. I have excluded the device from the bootable devices in the BIOS and it boots again....
Quite the unpopular opinion, but I just wanted to post this to show the silent majority that we still exist. We have reached a point where voicing criticism against wayland is treated like the worst thing ever and leads you to being censored and what not. The red hat funded multi year long shill campaign has proven to be quite...
I played this game back in the 00’s and had a pretty good time. My friend group was quite creative at the time so everyone got it. It was a raucous good time....
When installing the proprietary nvidia driver recommended by the the official debian page for Debian Bookwork, apt seems to want to install a new kernel. I actually did this before (since this is my second time installing debian on here) and this new kernel messes with the display server somehow, disabeling all monitors but one,...
