Ya got armpits for arms, so legpits and finpits and wingpits?? TENTACLE PITS?!

I hope it’s okay to ask for support here. I have a 2022 Motorola 5G phone, and it keeps turning down the volume on its own by exactly four notches. Is it possible this is some kind of setting somewhere? Maybe I have accidentally turned this on, and it’s trying to protect my hearing or something?

A Disk Read Error Occured, Does that Mean My Boot Drive Died? or Can My Other Disks be the Cause?...

I recently got a Dell Optiplex XE3 second hand and set it up as a home server. It’s working great and I wanted to share some info on it in case it’s a helpful reference for other people’s home labs....

I recently played through universal Paperclips. It was okay, looking for more to try.

It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.

The GitHub page for the project...

Which sounds rad as fuck. Like how you’d open a speech for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.

Usually, when you open a website, that site might be pulling live data from somewhere, but it’s from a database on the same server. If you click a Fediverse link, and no-one else from your instance has already done so, it seems like your instance has to contact a remote site, pull the data and render it, in the same timeframe...

On Windows, the go-to emulators are Bluestacks and NoxPlayer (both closed source), especially when gaming is concerned. Unfortunately they are not available on Linux, and the Nox devs’ dismissive attitude towards Linux also makes it unlikely they’ll ever make a Linux port:...

I run my own email server, and a friend received a compromised laptop from work which resulted in a spam attack from Russia yesterday. Turtle settings saved the days with thousands of emails still in the queue when I saw the problem, however it made me realize that everyone with accounts on my server are local, do not travel,...

A bit out of the loop can some one provide some info.Thanks in advance.

I need to just pick a distro, install it on all my laptops, and become an expert on that one. Forget the rest!...

Just from my head:...

Do I need to use a VPN when torrenting with a Seedbox (especially giga-rapid and ultra.cc)?

About a month ago I set up the arr apps to download media. I was using Plex but have recently decided to try out Jellyfin. With Plex, I could easily adjust my audio offset for anything that wasn’t in sync. In Jellyfin I am not seeing this option and everything I have downloaded is out of sync by about 50-100ms....

Hi!...

I’m old school Xorg, but want to give Wayland a go. The application that has me stymied is VMware Horizon client . It explicitly doesn’t support Wayland, but shouldn’t it work under Xwayland? How do I explicitly make it run with that, and not fail telling me Wayland isn’t supported?

A safe space to tell all about your weird ass dreams

Often with a Linux kernel update, or even after a first install of Linux in place of Windows, Bluetooth stops working and the advice is usually to just power off your computer, wait a bit, and then turn it on again. Bluetooth then miraculously works again....

The most annoying thing about using Linux on my laptop is that the HDMI doesn’t work out of the box because by default, “hybrid graphics” means your nVidia GPU won’t be turned on until it’s told to run a single program using PRIME offloading....
