In “Dodger” by Terry Pratchett: Why does Dodger scratch “Kaspar” in the carriage of the embassy before setting everything on fire? There is no character I know with that name and if he just randomly picks a German(?) name, why should it remind anyone of him then?
Hi everybody, I recently reinstalled ubuntu 23.04 on my laptop. I had a backup of my old home and copied that into my new home after installation, installed updates and rebooted. Sadly, I forgot to make myself the owner of those files before rebooting. Instead of the login screen where you would normally enter your password, It...
I have a Triniton Wega (480i) that I’d like to use as a separate monitor for streaming VHS rips and pixely PC games. My computer is a Win11 machine with a 2080, and I just tried usb-c output of the 2080->hdmi->component converter->TV and (to no one’s surprise) it didn’t work. I used Nvidia’s custom resolution to use...
I’m using a PaperWM which is a scrolling window manager extension for Gnome, and I love it! But it’s an extensive extension which means it is sometimes brittle. I’ve thought it would be nice to find a window manager that is natively designed with a workflow that I like. There don’t seem to be any actively-maintained...

I have a GeForce 210 GPU on an EndeavourOS computer. I use Noveau drivers, but some apps like Blender have a broken user interface, and KDE acts weird sometimes. I tried installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers following the Archlinux wiki, but I did not have any display output at all. I also tried running the NVIDIA driver...
Patch 2 seems to have drastically slowed down the Vulkan Renderer. Before I was able to get 80-110FPS in the Druid Grove, but now I am only getting 50fps. DX11 seems fine though, but I prefer using Vulkan since I am on Linux....

Hello, So basically I want to know how to code an extractor that allows you to get the m3u8 file from an embedded video. I am trying to build a scraper to get animes episodes from websites like gogoanime or 9anime. The only thing I was able to scrape so far is the embedded link for the episodes. Any idea on how I can do it ?
In “All Those Who Wander”, we see the Enterprise away team visit the crashed Peregrine, find frozen and/or mutilated bodies of the crew outside and inside, two survivors inside, and a log from the captain explaining that they’d picked up three castaways, one of whom (an Orion) killed himself with a plasma grenade to...
I saw a post of someone asking about the starfield 45 minute gameplay but I guess it has been removed, is there a site to find it?

Hey so I’m new to the world of gpg/pgp. Using a test gpg key pair I created, the goal was to digitally sign a odf so I was wondering what do I backup so I could keep signing digitally using this key in case shit hits the fan and my computer no longer works? Using seahorse, I perfer it to the terminal, the options are to either...
Is it just me or does season 2 seem like a completely different show? I just binge-watched the first season and found it to be serious, grey, deep and very character driven....
Hi. I have been downloading Debian images through i2p, but because of the limited selection of Debian isos available on i2p I decided to get Mullvad to download them on the clear web (and add them to i2p of course.) I use a dedicated server for i2p, jellyfin, and nginx. When I added Mullvad and qBittorrent, Mullvad started...

Is there a way to play pirated games on a ps4? What is the base OS for the console? Would it be easier to try to install Linux on it instead of trying to find pirated ps4 games?
Hello people I recently set up a qBittorrent + Arr setup that is being run through a Gluetun container. I also got a port from AirVPN and added it as the FIREWALL_VPN_INPUT_PORTS environment variable to the docker-compose file. I am also able to see it on canyouseeme....
Susan Oliver was playing a green-skinned Orion slave girl, but I had to test her makeup because she was too expensive and I was under contract already; I was cheap, they had to pay me anyway. The makeup they put on me was green as green can be, but they kept on sending out the rushes and we would get it back for the next day,...
There’s a good many gravity theories, some that don’t even try to explain the why, only the how and other’s that involve some particle like the graviton. But anyone know if there’s any based on the energetic vibrations of our known particles with mass (those within protons and neutrons)? In other words, gravity’s space...
Hello. I am having trouble finding a video I own on VHS format. I want to get a digital copy, but it probably does not exist. I think there are rules against asking about particular titles, so I’ll just state the topic. It’s about skills used by guides for camping in the wilderness between north central US and Canada. Are...
