SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support

I took a peek in a recycling bin last time I was at Target and saw a handful of vapes in there, this would be a good place to start.

Not OP, but I’d put money that this was taken on a Google Pixel

This is a picture from my pixel 6. The picture you linked for your pixel 6 doesn’t look like you have astrophotography mode on (Night sight does a significantly shorter exposure compared to astrophotography)

I said it looked like it came from a pixel camera because it has that signature hue that I normally see taken with pixels

alphapuggle ,

I didn’t intend to offend or insult your work, I’ve usually been able to look at the colors of the image and tell it’s a pixel and verify in the comments, but I was wrong in this case.

I appreciate the apology, things get a bit heated online, I completely understand. Your picture is quite stunning, and I’m saving up for a camera so I can hope to take pictures like it and not rely on my Pixel.

My original look was on hotel wifi and I was unable to load the extensive detail in the image to see just how many stars there truly are visible. If you don’t have one already, a star tracker can help get rid of the smear from the earth’s rotation, and let you get some longer exposures. I played around with one my roommate bought me for Christmas, but it doesn’t make too much of a difference with phone photography.Was looking through your other images and saw you mentioned one :P

Best of luck man, keep taking awesome pictures

I believe the “non-commercial use only” is regarding the subtitles themselves, not the code. Im sure any commercial use using stolen subtitles from other services wouldn’t go over well

That’s how I’m reading it at least

A little rant about the Android operating system
@android
Everyone felt weird when I said I was using custom ROMs. Most of them haven't heard about anything beyond stock android. I wrote a blog trying to normalise it.

Ironically, I have to root every time I install a ROM just to bypass the detections 🤦‍♂️

This is just a theory, I don’t have knowledge of the inner-workings of either Linux or Windows (beyond the basics). While Microsoft has been packing tons of telemetry in their OS since Windows 10, I think they fucked up the I/O stack somewhere along the way. Windows used to run well enough on HDDs, but can barely boot now.

This is most easily highlighted by using a disk drive. I was trying to read a DVD a while ago and noticed my whole system was locked up on a very modern system. Just having the drive plugged in would prevent windows from opening anything if already on, or getting past the spinner on boot.

The same wasn’t observed on Linux. It took a bit to mount the DVD, but at no point did it lock up my system until it was removed. I used to use CDs and DVDs all the time on XP and 7 without this happening, so I only can suspect that they messed up something with I/O and has gone unnoticed because of their willingness to ignore the issues with the belief they’re being caused by telemetry

Uhh do we know if this extends to sites.google.com?

My professor made me install TeamViewer to our lab computers despite strong pushback from me, and perfectly functioning ssh access through the campus VPN. I can’t wait to send this to him.

I miss the Moto Z days. Those were some excellent phones and being able to slap an extra battery on the back was amazing. Mods could’ve gone so much further if they put some more R&D in it

I have and use a Microsoft account. I would always setup my computer offline because I don’t want my home folder to be called "myema"[email protected]

Error when loading Ubuntu live USB (lemmy.world)

I’ve been trying to boot a Ubuntu 24.04 USB (please no discussion of distro choice) but I keep getting a very unhelpful error during the initial startup. I’ve tried using a different USB drive, a different USB port, booting from UEFI. The only thing that has made a change was booting into safe graphics mode. It got to the...

alphapuggle ,

I’ve heard the 24.04 installer is having issues. I would hold off for an update for them to patch other stuff as well

alphapuggle ,

You’ll always have the option to keep it blank. Meanwhile other (myself included) like to have some information at a glance that doesn’t require us to unlock our phones

Boomerang was an old feature on Instagram where it would just take a video and then loop it backwards when it reached the end. It was a really stupid phenomenon that nobody really used, hence the reason the got rid of it.

A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame. Try using .loc[row_indexer,col_indexer] = value instead See the caveats in the documentation: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/indexing.html#indexing-view-versus-copy

Not on fedora, but on Neon with a 3070. KDE 6 will lock up on Xorg, while electron apps will flash on Wayland, though there is a flag to enable Wayland support, it keeps dropping off of discord every time it updates. Running nvidia 550 proprietary, haven’t gotten to use the open ones yet as I need cuda for work

alphapuggle ,

I am not as worried about DMCA as the author is lol

alphapuggle ,

Definitely not as big as it used to be. Lineage, Graphene, and Pixel Experience are just about the only players left. Graphene doesn’t officially support anything other than pixels actively supported by Google though.

alphapuggle ,

Wow, super missed that. April 10th. I just had it on a Pixel 2xl not too long ago

alphapuggle , (edited )

My April fools prank you on my friends was a fake news article. It would’ve worked if any of them actually read past the headline.

In the same regards, it’s a toggle if you want it to come back automatically. You can still turn off Bluetooth and leave it off. The feature is there so you don’t turn off Bluetooth and lose your device & the only way to track it

[SOLVED-See Comments] My "Windows" boot entry has disappeared from the EFI menu

Title. I dual-boot Windows and Linux. I always saw people making “WINDOWS DELETED MY LINUX BOOTLOADER OMGOMG” posts and it had never happened to me. Now, the opposite has happened. I switched from EndeavourOS to OpenSUSE and now my windows install is no longer selectable on boot....

alphapuggle ,

Can you still boot into Windows without GRUB? Like through your bios menu. I’ve had it where a Linux installer will eat the EFI files for Windows.

If you need to fix your Windows EFI partition, and have a Windows install disk, boot it up and press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt (you may need Fn as well if youre on a laptop)

Run diskpart and list volume

You should have your Windows drive (should be labeled C, but can be mounted elsewhere in recovery. Keep in mind the letter it’s mounted on) You’re also going to want to look for a fat32 partition. Since windows is on a different drive, there should be two, one for Linux and one for Windows.

Pick one with select volume x where x is the volume number, and ensure you’ve selected the right one with list disk. There should be an asterisk next to the disk containing the selected volume.

Still in diskpart, you’re going to want to mount that to a letter, I always choose N with assign letter n

Type exit to get out of diskpart

Next you’re going to want to remove existing EFI files. Type N: to change to the N disk, and rmdir EFI /s (I’m doing this from memory, I believe this is the correct command to do so)

To regenerate the files, you’re going to want to run bcdboot C:Windows /s N: /f ALL where C:\Windows is your Windows folder, N: is your efi partition, and ALL is the boot type (this installs both legacy and EFI files, you can set this to just EFI and be fine)

Windows should be good to boot, I’d boot it once to test. Then go into Linux & grub-install and update-grub. It should be able to find it on any installed drive, even unmounted. Check the output and you should see if it found it.

alphapuggle ,

In that case, these steps should work, but you can safely ignore the grub steps at the end. (I totally misread the NOT wanting to use grub part lol)

alphapuggle ,

Your Linux install may be using the same EFI partition as your Windows disk, even though the filesystem is on another drive. Most installers prefer existing EFI partitions. You may have to modify your fstab file to use an EFI partition on your Linux drive instead, in which case they should remain separate and not mess with each other again.

alphapuggle ,

Glad it’s working! For the future, you might want to put ventoy on your singular USB. You can then put different ISOs on it, so you can have windows and Linux recovery on one keychain. Has saved my ass a number of times!

alphapuggle ,

HTPC or Google TV. With Google TV you can at least ADB the shit away

alphapuggle ,

Roku is not android based, and doesn’t have an accessible ADB interface or similar

alphapuggle ,

As far as I’m aware they can only be used on Android. I did a search for APK on Roku and I all found were some articles erroneously calling custom channels APKs. Roku does let you side load custom channels in developer mode, but you can remove software like you can on an android box, so you’re always stuck with Roku’s ad riddled home page and whatever injects ads into HDMI

openSUSE Tumbleweed Begins Rolling Out KDE Plasma 6 Desktop, But No Wayland Default Yet (www.phoronix.com)

The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages. Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn’t yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.

Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes

alphapuggle ,

I’ll have to look into this a bit more. The guy at the end of the comment chain says his chromium stuff is still flickering, but I’ll give it a whirl when I don’t strictly need a working dev environment :P

TIL The fish pepper was thought to be extinct for much of the 20th century until the rediscovery of fifty year-old seeds in a family's freezer (www.bbc.com)

The fish pepper (named for its common use in seafood dishes) is popular today, but it nearly disappeared altogether: that it still exists is thanks to William Woys Weaver, a Maryland author and ethnographer. In 1995, Weaver discovered a jar of seeds in the bottom of a freezer that belonged to his grandfather, H Ralph Weaver....

If you don’t want to buy a domain you can try a reverse DNS lookup, your ISP may already give you one. Mine was C-XX-XX-XX-XX.hsd1.pa.comcast.net and I could get a let’s encrypt certificate with that. I did end up buying a domain but it was good for personal use

Yeah but the real question is how many is a Brazilian?
