I've remembered this exists and there seems to be some very recent activity in the repo so if you didn't know what was possible with TUI graphics now you know! (recommended watching with sound :)

There is a youtuber for that!
Asianometry has a lot of "documentary"-style videos about microchips, civil engineering and histories of interesting industries (Zweis lenses, ASML, so on).

This happens to me often whenever nvidia (dkms) rebuilds and the module compilation fails (for whatever reason).

Usually I drop into tty ctrl+alt+f2 as root, run dkms autoinstall (or just yay -S <your nvidia package> should trigger dkms rebuild if needed) and then rebuild initramfs ( mkinitcpio -P), reboot.

Anything without vocals so that it doesn't force me to actually think about it, just vibe.

Lately Chikoi The Maid (maidcore rock) or Gnome (the Father Of Time album, just-riffs-rock?) to some dnb/techno stuff, depends on the mood and how hard I need to focus - faster is better then.

I've once tried WinBTRFS and on top of not making it work I still have leftover drivers that can't be deleted.

I just use ntfs3 and ever since tweaking steam so that it does not put proton compatdata on it I didn't have to reboot and run chkdsk for months now.

Wohoo time to hack this old phone of mine.

Unexpected first Law by Joe Abercrombie! Loved it, Glokta is such an interesting character.

Unpopular opinion?: without wordpress, mysql/mariadb would have died years ago.

For me, the most interesting point was the short mention of open sourcing Factorio (around 2:40). Kovarex seems to be very much open to the idea, he mentions that (as an approximation) maybe two years after the DLC after things calm down ...

(Hope this is not much of a titlegore)

EU should not care about non-EU companies

Uh probably not that helpful but I am somewhat sure that this was super easy to do from virt-manager (on Arch qemu & kvm, virtualizing Tiny11 )

So the lower-ish difficulty answer would be to run the iso installer in a VM with the usb stick forwarded to that VM.

Or you can learn what those fancy installers do: on debian you would use debootstrap

Here seems the whole guide on how to install debian manually with it:
https://gist.github.com/tr3buchet/6407920

Btw, this is also basically how you install Arch. As of until recently there wasn't any installer and you had to go through each step manually (create partitions and fs, install the base system with <insert distro specific tool>, chroot, update fstab, distro specific finishing touches, voilà)

/sbin are system binaries, eg root only stuff, dunno the rest but I would guess there are some historical reasons for the bin usr/bin separation

How did you install jellyfin?

It should not core-dump (read: hard crash, something has gone terribly wrong), at best you should get a configuration error and errors like that.

You can see the logs of any systemd service/unit with this: journalctl -u <name of sevice> so in this case journalctl -u jellyfin (Tip: add -f to follow the output of a running service - useful for monitoring).

Note that some programs log to their own files (and not to stdout) so if the above command comes out empty you should look into /var/log/ directory.

If you are using https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner please stop and disable it as soon as possible.

We have found a security issue that allows any user to make LTC delete any locally hosted image.

I will be posting more details soon and editing this to include the information.

E: More information here https://github.com/wereii/lemmy-thumbnail-cleaner/issues/10

 

The server does not even respond to pings but I can see some comments/posts from the instance made few days ago.

 

I think this should be seen by more people, it's also not just a US thing.

I have a unused RPi4 (the 8Gig one) running DietPi. I did use it as a playground but ever since I am renting a Hetzner machine for (playground) stuff that I want web accessible, I don't have particular use for the Pi.

I am currently running (outdated) Home Assistant on it but there isn't much I can connect it with (yet, getting the flashable/compatible ikea smart lightning zigbee? bridge thingy is on my bucket list). Obviously I do have a pihole there.

Shoot me any other ideas I could run there. Some kind of monitoring of my rented infra would be cool (I already have uptime kuma on the dedi hetzner box). One idea I had was if there are some OSS security scanning "daemons" I could use on to monitor my other infra.

Thanks a lot!

 

I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, "u B lock", SponsorBlock or "S p onSor Block" (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute.

Is this happening only to me/on this one specific video (in Czech, don't want to link because I don't agree with the points they said, though it was video about the adblock blocking of YT)?

 

I have been using xiaomi phones for a long time now, for most of them the (xda) community eventually had great ROMs that (eventually) worked without problems or with very little.

Though these days I need a working phone so I didn't bother with my (Mediatek) Note 8 Pro - last time I looked phones with these chips were a lot harder and more dangerous to flash then the Qualcomms I had before (loved my Xiaomi A1 for that tinkering with Ressurection Remix).

So I am looking for an investment - a device I won't have to replace for another ~6+ years but I really want my device to do mostly what I would expect, without any snooping or other privacy shenannigans - I know xiaomi is probably the worse choice for this but their hardware specs were always the best for the price and were generally easy to flash.
I don't like pixels - they are too expensive for the hardware it offers, at least in my country.

Thank you for any tips in advance.

Update: iPhone is a no go for me because of the walled garden - I am a software developer by trade and hobbyist, I like to have the possibility of cracking the device open, both HW and SW wise. I am willing to trade the longevity of the device for this.

We are cutting the release cycle short and will release curl 8.4.0 on October 11, including a fix for a severity HIGH CVE. Buckle up.

... But this time actually the worst security problem found in curl in a long time

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-38545

 

So I am hosting an instance for myself and I have noticed that when I go into Admin Settings (cog symbol) I get a beefy list of Banned Users on the right but I didn't ban any of them.

Is this just unintuitive UI?

The way I thought this works is when I, as admin, ban user from my instance then that user won't be able to log-in here anymore but when I ban a user from other instance then anything from that user won't show up at all on my instance (kind of like shadow ban, but only for users of my instance).

E: I am the only admin/mod on my instance - the only user able to ban users, so there is noone else who could have banned someone without my knowledge.

Upd: Bans are federated and it makes sense, thanks /u/stown@sedd.it
