I just ran an update, as one does with apt update and upgrade. Afterwards all my monitors, bedies that one ancient 4 by 3 monitor stopped working. That 4 by 3 displays gnome at a lower resolution then usual. So I assumed that this has something to do with the nvidia drivers (has happened many times before). So I run...

I feel like most Saturday TV from my childhood wouldn’t hold up, but in my mind at least Gladiators was the exception! Really hope they don’t ruin it....

Hey selfhosters,...

I’ve got a fairly new 14tb Seagate Expansion. It works fine, and I’ve been using it for a month and a bit....

What is everyone doing? SELinux? AppArmor? Something else?...

I often hear of people in work from home opportunities but I find them so rare to come across. What sites / resources do you use to find remote work opportunities? Which companies still do work from home?...

Im not fully grasping how the mind of those “copycats” works. People who are obsessed with Columbine for example, and want to do a mass shooting. That is their thought process? Is there some study I can read exploring what’s on their minds?

For context I’m in the US. The last time I used YouTube without an ad blocker, there were 2 ads back to back, and way too frequently. I tried watching on my PlayStation tonight, and not only are they more frequent, they’ve increased in quantity by 150%. It’s also very common for the last ad to last 2 minutes to over an...

I’ve been daily driving Pop!_OS for about two years. I’ve had to troubleshoot and look up how to solve problems here and there, but it has largely been pain free. About eight months ago I had to dual boot Windows 10 because my wife wanted to play Hogwarts and for the life of me I couldn’t get Linux to stream to the client...

Is it me or is Reddit a pit-hole of people that advocate Palestinians being ethnic cleansed and genocide?...

I recently was gifted a raspberry pi 5 and was looking at domains to buy to host my own instance. What happens to my instance if the domain expires?...

Imagine you could give a Christmas gift to anyone, famous or not, what you would give and to whom? And why?...

for those who dont know, crostini is a feature available for chromeos that lets you install a debian container and has a cute terminal and lets you install linux software (can be from flathub, github, etc!!! woa!!). i love it so much and use it daily for programming python on my chromebook and crostini is what i mean when i say...

Edit: Looks like the GOG version is available for OS X, so I’m hoping that’ll work. I guess I was just a little tipsy when looking at the GOG page since it’s the holidays and missed it. Also, I didn’t think about Steam gift cards/PayPal. That’s another way of getting games on Steam without giving payment info. Thanks...

I’m currently running kubuntu 23.10 and have been distro hopping a lot lately. I’m going to continue to do so but the tedium of saving everything off is a royal pain....

And if you’ve made strides in reversing that stigma, how have you done so?

Nothing too shabby, but still. To run it you need docker, and after that just type...

Well I’ve joined the “accidentally trashing your system with rm -rf” club! Luckily I didn’t delete my home directory with all the things I care about, but I did delete /boot and /usr, and maybe /var (long story, boils down to me trying to delete non-system directories named those but reflexively adding the slash in front...

For example, in English the word right (opposite of left) and right (privileges, as in human rights) are homonyms. In Spanish, derecho/a also means both of those things. Don’t the concepts behind those words predate the cross-pollination of the two languages? Why do they share this homonym quality?

Which do you think is the better microblogging platform? Why?

I notice programming stuff leaks into my thinking and writing often but I actually enjoy the various constructs that help clarify thinking. I don’t have any formal background in logic tho :(...

I’m having a meeting to set mine up on Thursday. My company matches 3%, and that’s what I’m putting in....

This laptoo has Fn as default instead of F keys. I hate it. I found several solutions for different vendors to switch state in bios. Is that the only option?
