No, and I’ve pihole’d all of Meta’s services from my network too.

I’m a bigger, tall guy. 6’4", and in my mid 20’s 280+lbs. I was hired to deal with big heavy stuff. I’m no body builder by any means. Just larger framed. Still, often was hired to be a two legged horse. At the time I could do it. Now, I’m paying for it.

terminhell ,

What’s your hardware? Is Ubuntu your only option? Are you wanting to just drive KDE to see what it’s about? Are virtual machines an option?

terminhell ,

Anyways.meme

I’ve got all of Meta’s platforms blacklisted in pihole. Tiktok too.

terminhell ,

Maybe that’s one of the issues I experienced on my old PC. To the point of manually suspending Everytime I walked away on my new PC.

terminhell ,

I’ma just use my smart phone to, make a call. Or send a letter in the mail. I’m not about to do this lol.

How responsive is your Nextcloud?

My Nextcloud has always been sluggish — navigating and interacting isn’t snappy/responsive, changing between apps is very slow, loading tasks is horrible, etc. I’m curious what the experience is like for other people. I’d also be curious to know how you have your Nextcloud set up (install method, server hardware, any...

terminhell ,

Overall good. The only slowness is right after login. After it loads everything it’s pretty responsive. Using the snap version (I know, snap bad. But in this case it was the only way I got it going.).

Self updates,.get email notifications when it updateab

terminhell ,

Maybe, but I kinda think Dale wouldn’t bother with crypto thinking it’s some kinda government psyops or some conspiracy lol

terminhell ,

Can we get a list of companies NOT doing this? I’d assume it’s going to be much shorter.

terminhell ,

Gum always gives me a headache. Though I think I have mild TMJ.

terminhell ,

I do both. In case I lose my phone, or some kind of outage. It cost basically nothing to have more ways of not being potentially broke or stranded.

I can only go by people like Luis Rossman on Mac stuff, but I’ve done my fair amount of Chromebook repairs. Granted it’s been a few years, and most were dell and splash of HP/Lenovo. Hardware wise there’s not much to them, physically. Pretty easy with simple tools. However, the shimming/reloading the OS is a whole different monster. Dell was the easiest, but was still involved.

terminhell ,

From what I remember, even the dell process was a testament to following instructions to the T. Having to do some steps with the battery connected, then more with it disconnected, then connected again. HP used some special screw for board locking. Lol what a wild time.

Any othet alternative to telegram that is more open sourced , privacy ,security focused is available in fdroid etc.

Wanted to know if there are any other android apps with features like telegram such as sending ,recieving big files creating channels etc. Using a bot or channel in telegram to pirate movies and series are infinitely easier than torrenting . But as telegram is not fully open source and requires a phone number to create an...

terminhell ,

Take a look at “Seeker”. Its a client for the SoulSeeker network. Nicotine+ for desktop is nice too.

Ya don’t need ATT’s modem. Some copy pasta I’ve put together:

If it’s fiber, you don’t need the modem. You’ll still need it once every few months.

Things you’ll need:

  1. your own router
  2. cheap 4 port switch (1gig pref)

Setup: Connect gpon (the little fiber converter box they installed on the wall near modem) wan to any port on 4port switch. Then from switch to gpon port of modem (usually red or green port). Make sure modem fully syncs. Once this happens, you can move the cable from the modem to your own routers wan port. Done! Allow router a few moments to sync as well.

Now, every once in a while they’ll send a line refresh signal that will break this, or if a power outage occurs. In such case, you’ll just plug back in their modem, move cable back to gpon port of modem, wait for sync. Move cable back to router.

Bonus: Hook up all this to a battery backup and you’ll have Internet even during power outages, at least for a while.

terminhell ,

Finally. Was something I’ve missed when I was using other distros with kde.

terminhell ,

BG3 came in like a wrecking ball. Sucks for all the actual devs though.

terminhell ,

How much good attention it’s gotten. No microtransactions, season passes etc. It’s called a ton of attention to all the AAA enshitification since it’s released.

So, I’d imagine those studios are scrambling to shift gears.

terminhell ,

Last I looked, I couldn’t find a Linux version of Vivaldi. Which is strange as I’m pretty sure their beta releases did. Been a hot minute since I’ve looked again. Other than being chromium based, I liked what I seen. It’s almost like kde developed it with its staggering feature set lol.

terminhell ,

My wife still only uses Logitech track ball mice on her desktop. On the rare occasion I need to use her oc for something, it’s always an interesting time haha. Only takes about 10 seconds to be ‘calibrared’ to it now.

terminhell ,

My new PC has 64g ram. But I’m also not using or plan to use windows. Checkmate M$!

But in all seriousness, 8g is like, the foundational minimum these days. Sad tbh. Browsers are so bloated these days. I’m surprised that browsers haven’t become their own OS yet. It kinda feels that way in some environments.

terminhell ,

ChromeOS is more of an OS built to optimize a browser though. Its close though.

I finally nuked windows

I have been daily driving a dual booted laptop for the past two years. After a year of distro hopping I settled with fedora + kde and never looked back. I really liked the auto nvidia driver config and it made everything so pleasant to work. Since the last 8 or 9 months I decided to do gaming using bottles and proton ge. I...

terminhell ,

It will depend on the specific hardware, but I can vouche for openrgb. It works for me g502 hero mouse, and my asrok mobo/aio coolers fan RGB. Infact, I have more options than the motherboard gives me lol.

terminhell ,

What blows my mind about windows updates is just how long they take to actually install. It’s not even the reboots that bother me. Just the sheer time frames.

mememamus , to memes

Legit chuckled

terminhell ,

Depends on the model. While some offer bios updates over ip, not all do. That would really be the only thing talking out.

RaspberryPi becoming unresponsive at random intervals

Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before...

terminhell ,

Not sure if the rpi3 can use the 64bit version, or if it’s possible for it use an SSD like the the 4 can?

terminhell ,

Went with random creation. Unfortunately I skipped over the slider customizations. Stuck with a male character. Though the height slider was already cranked up.

Tried to go for a melee build, but stats favored int. So, I’ve been going with a Netrunner build (IT).

terminhell ,

Nuclear power at small scale is already in use in devices. Some medical devices, smoke detectors etc. As long as there is proper shielding, the enclosure is robust enough, and the overall device is made easily serviceable, I’m all for it. I can understand the fear sentiment of anything flagged as radioactive, but radiation is all around us already. Idk, but the less we can ditch super toxic and explosive lithium the better.

terminhell , (edited )

My grampa had a pacemaker that was.

Edit: Source - osrp.lanl.gov/pacemakers.shtml

Edit2: For the smoke detectors, i know its not what powers it per se, as far as the electronics that sound the alarm and such. More pointing out it contains radioactive material, and is something in every (hopefully) house, and you likely walk by it often.

terminhell ,

So, you’re saying there’s a chance :p

The sentiment for me here, is any overall betterment of portable power is good. Yea the article and this specific tech is presented in an overhyped fashion, no doubt.

terminhell ,

Unpopular opinion, maybe, but Wayland has been just fine for me. All amd system, single monitor, on fedora since f37. Even before that, on other distros like Manjaro it was fine. I don’t think I use anything that really cares what display management I use.

I can sympathize with those that this is an issue. As Wayland continues to becoming the standard.

terminhell ,

Generally I’ll see it used for POS type machines, or relegated to a backend database that gets logged into for parts lookup or something. Have I seen Jimbo in accounting rocking Gentoo on the company PC. Never.

I’ve ran across a few professors at nearby colleges using it. Last I remember was a nuclear physicists prof using opensuse.

Dual Booting: How in god's name?!

I have one drive, 1tb with Pop_OS, and another, 500 on to which i want to install windows. (I know, I dont like it either but I want to play VR games via link cable cause ALVR is really mid) So, I put the ISO on a drive with ventoy, booted it up, got it all going. started to install windows on the empty drive. So, after the five...

terminhell ,

General rule of dual booting from the same drive: install windows first, then Linux.

I have a sister in law like the extrovert. I’ve watched her within a matter of minutes, go from talking to a stranger, to now they’re babysitting for her next weekend levels of charisma.

I only used Spotify for podcasts when I used to be on the road all the time. For music, I’ve had a free Pandora account for years now. Does what I need it too. And with wireguard+pihole I don’t get ads either.

terminhell ,

I can see that. Though it’s been a few years since I’ve used it.

Edit: The podcast id listen to were very long format/critical role episodes.

terminhell ,

I’m using an old HP z420 box. It supports up to 128gigs of ecc ram (which I have), has tons of drive and SATA options.

It could be possible to repurpose the chassis for custom builds too.

This is bad, but around where I live, most of these pharmacies are helmed by teens just old enough to work there. I’d imagine many younger people in these positions would just do what the cops are asking: Cuz they aren’t paid to think, insufficient training, they just wanna get the day over. They deal enough with crazy customers as it is, let alone the hastle from cops. And if their policy of just let the shoplifters walk, why would it be different for cops?

terminhell ,

Whoops, by helmed, I meant most of the customer facing techs. Not the actual pharmacist.

terminhell ,

Well, your not too off. Like ASICs are made for mining cryptocurrency. Specialized processing designed for specific computations. This indeed make it’s efficiency greater than a general purpose CPU.

terminhell ,

Pihole or similar DNS blocking. I can’t recommend it enough. My smart TVs are the #1 offender on my network. The only thing that will try to pull in more ads are my wife’s mobile games.

Look, I’m all for renewable energy, where it makes sense. When I lived in southern California, BLM had so many wildlife restrictions in place, even for off-roading it was kinda nuts. A lot of it dealt with tortoises. Shortly after moving out of state, they started building solar farms all over the place. They’re massive multi dozens to hundreds of acres in size. Many of them in the same areas they got all worked up about for the tortoises…

Generating the power is only a third the battle. Still need to store and distribute that power. Factor in power demands etc.

What I’m trying to say is, as a species we need to get better. This is a good step. However, the power output of a single nuclear plant to the size shouldn’t be overlooked. We should stop fossil fuel reliance. Nuclear is at this point very understood. Yes some bad accidents happened in the past.

terminhell ,

Mostly on the newer bios machines. Older ones don’t. Same for hp. Lenovo is all over the place.

terminhell OP ,

Look at the kernel version selected

Oh ya? Awesome. Mind sharing what it’s about
