You mean OTA TV? I don't even watch sports, the rest has 10 minute advertisements. And considering it's digital, I don't find it interesting at all. Yes, a weird reason, but anyway.

OK, it seems I can bring my current music library. I experimented with it a bit now, and I guess I could get used to 12kbps Opus or 12.65kbps AMR-WB (they sound comparable). It kinda sounds like off-tuned FM radio, not the much more awful artifacts of MP3 or AAC.

Although... can I bring a cassette tape player? It's analog, so tapes won't fall under this limit. Then I could possibly digitize it. Similarly with movies on film. I don't know what equipment I can take though. Movies on film, photos on paper, books on paper, music on tapes, hmmm... I guess that would be some games then. What counts under the media though? Just the games themselves, emulation software, entire OS?

How are you using it remotely? VNC?

Perhaps the server config started defaulting to XFCE. Maybe what happened is entire XFCE DE got marked as a dependency, installed during update, and then when some config defaulting to XFCE thanks to this became valid, you ended up here.

If it's VNC, what do you have in ~/.vnc/xstartup? Maybe a line like xfce4-session &?

And by the same user.

This dad is patient with his jokes.

something that isn’t an SD card to the /sdcard directory?

Could be.

On my phone (Poco X3 Pro - stock Android 11, MIUI 12) the /sdcard is a symlink pointing to /storage/self/primary which itself is a symlink pointing to /storage/emulated/0, which is /data/media, the user-accessible portion of internal storage.
Though from what I can find it anyway is just emulated FAT filesystem which is actually ext4 under that.

Something about backwards compatibility as the directory used to actually be used for SD cards in the past.

I am talking about some devices using /sdcard to mount internal storage.

Not Mullvad's fault, they're just on some of the used blocklists. Not really much you can do about it besides finding a not yet blocked servers.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

But is it an SD card.

I mean, the directory name says so, but...

~ $ realpath /sdcard
/storage/emulated/0
~ $

...it may also not be.

Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.

Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.

Cisco used to not be that selective.

They used to give out free Meraki APs to everyone just for attending their webinars. The catch with those devices was licensing. You've got some limited-time free license, and then you either paid or kept a paperweight.
At least officially. Some of them were later supported by OpenWRT, but newer ones are more locked down.

This is obviously more elegant, but you can also use GPG in Termux.

Just saying.

this space intentionally left blank while we wait for people to frequently ask questions

I thought FAQs were always just made up.

 

They clearly show wear.
I am not sure if they were replaced from another older device, or the entire cover is from L390, but that one would have a plastic cover for where this one has a stylus. It doesn't seem like anything was snapped out of there.

I couldn't find replacement ones online, and I am not sure if contacting the shop is a good idea. See, the L390 Yoga has a touchscreen with better colors and seems to be a bit more expensive (but not much).
However, I bought this as "L390". I noticed the description said "Touchscreen: yes", which I realized meant they likely mistook the Yoga version for the base version. Indeed, that is the case.
Currently they have one L390 Yoga in similar condition and same configuration, but the screen has some white spots (this one is flawless), ...and it's €46 more expensive.

If you're curious, i5 8365U, 16GB RAM (single-channel), used 256GB Samsung SSD (I don't remember if SATA or NVME), €180 and 2 year warranty.

Also, if you're wondering what that port with network symbol is, it appears to be a proprietary connector used on ThinkPads requiring an "Ethernet Extension" adapter to be usable.

 

Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

 

Laying on his back, if the perspective seems confusing.

I know in past I've successfully updated my display name, and it shows on other instances, so perhaps this problem is new to 0.19.x, but I am not at all sure about that.

 

First of all a disclaimer: I am not upset about the removal of manual server selection as this is a free service. They don't need to provide such services at all, so something is better than nothing.

What happened:
This morning I opened the ProtonVPN app on my phone and got greeted with a message stating free accounts can now only use automatic server selection and addition of free servers in Poland and Romania.
However, I also noticed split-tunelling is now paywalled as well.

Now, this is rather weird. Split-tunelling is already in the app and is something that works only on the client side, thus not putting any extra load on the servers. Quite the contrary, actually, as it allows some apps to not use the VPN, thus use less bandwidth.
The automatic-selection-only allows for better load balancing, so that makes sense.

Now to the workaround.
They still allow manual OpenVPN and Wireguard setup even for free accounts, at least for now.
To do so, login to ProtonVPN and go to account. There's OpenVPN credentials which are used for OpenVPN authentication. Then go to downloads, select appropriate options including the specific server and download the ovpn config file.
Client: OpenVPN for Android
This app also supports split tunneling (edit config -> Allowed apps).

ProtonVPN has an article on how to set up this app, but it's really just importing the config and adding your OpenVPN ProtonVPN credentials which you grabbed before.

 

These apps have support for huge amount of printers and allow printing over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and most importantly, USB.

It seems they might be based on some existing project, though. They all have very similar UI, and function the same.
Printer2Go and PrintHand don't just have similar UI, but exactly the same UI.

 

Same thing in CIT test menu:

I mean, this one is on me. I bought Poco X3 Pro knowing damn well it's plagued with issues. But €188 for phone with Snapdragon 860, 120Hz screen, big battery, stereo speakers, headphone jack and IR blaster 1 and a half years ago? Hell, that sounds too good.

And yes, before you ask, I have tried turning it off an on. Also resetting both from settings and recovery.

 

Yes, both rows type out the letters shown.

 

By "party", I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as "I am throwing a party!" or "Let's party!".
Basically what I am trying to say is the default "party".

I've never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.

 
 

At least I can use Shazam

 

(I deeply apologize if this isn't the right community. It felt like the closest match.)

I like to keep all the menus and extras exactly as-is. So I just copy the whole DVDs into ISO files. These are then nicely playable in VLC.
However, wouldn't it be convenient to just have them in one location available over network? Just using NGINX with autoindex on sounded like a simple solution as VLC can stream from HTTP.

However, this doesn't seem to work with desktop version of VLC.
On Android VLC app, it works as I expected. I click on "New stream", enter e.g. http://192.168.44.1:8080/interstellar.iso, hit enter, and it opens the "DVD" with menus and everything (only works if the DVD has intro before menu, which is most DVDs anyway).
But on desktop, it tries to play it as video, which obviously fails since that's not what it is. It just tries to play the first video in the file, and gives it some false timestamp, e.g.: 82 hours.

The only ideas I had was to try vlc dvd://"http://192.168.44.1:8080/interstellar.iso" which unsurprisingly couldn't load anything. Then I tried the --dvd= option which should set default DVD device or file, like so: vlc dvd:// --dvd=http://192.168.44.1:8080/interstellar.iso but that also didn't find anything.

Is there some way to force VLC to play the fed network stream as a DVD? If the Android app can do it, there's probably some way to do the same on desktop.
Thanks.
