Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today..

Keep up the good work!

Did you uninstall cups and avahi?

Cars.

  • mechanical, no software bugs

  • physical buttons, no touch screen

  • everything just worked, no need to license the heating of your chair

  • freaking lane assist

You get it..

This exactly. Just ask for some location rights in the app and get access to wifi also.

Most users don't mind giving an app a large amount of access and in doing so, a lot of personal information gets exposed.

If you have a choice, use a website.

Vlans firewall rules and something to route between the different networks.

This can all be achieved with pretty much every Linux installation.

Not medically trained or experiencing any illnesses, but keep this in mind:

In just a few years, the medical world made huge steps in treating a lot of things using RNA techniques.

Don't compare a situation 10 or 20 years ago with the possibilities today.

Forgejo ftw!

Self hosting here, also with runners to create a complete ci/cd line.

Check the links on that page.

Exactly this. Foolish ideas from someone behind a desk.

Nerds and hackers will win this easily.

Cars. Either entertainment system or navigation or more..

BMW has quite the list of licences for opensource libraries and Linux in the about section of the car-menu.

And more and more network equipment.

Noticed someone mentioning this (the product ) last weekend and did a next-next-finish install on some old hardware.

This is really nice, got me some nice actions running already.

I used to build locally and use git, cgit and Trac, but will probably move everything to forgejo.

Totally agree. People using cli are probably more skilled and their knowledge has been fed into these ai models.

So we will all end up with some mediocre level of knowledge, because the next input for the LLM 's will be more of the some old stuff. Flattening the curve and less innovation and smart ideas.

These kind of "solutions" are for a non existing problem. Looking at the investors, this is only about making money.

Ali got a nice escrow payment system, when you and the selling party disagree about delivery or quality, you get your money back most of the time.

Did have some issues with deliveries in the past, but always got them resolved or refunded.

No experience with the other platforms, but have done hundreds of purchases using AliExpress, from a few euros to hundred+

Be the cool kid on the block and start hosting your own forgejo instance.

Did Azure DevOps (yuck), did GitHub (meh) now very happy with forgejo.

Thanks for the pointer.

This is really huge, but people don't quite understand that yet.

If this wasn't caught, every system -running public sshd- could be hacked or abused/misused.

And I completely agree with the last words, corporate should pay foss projects!

In run a personal instance of forgejo, love it.

Everything I want regarding version control and workers. And more lightweight on the frontend side.

Absolutely!

Running local, self hosted forgejo with a few runners.

Now my code is neatly checked with pre-commit and linters, build when new tags are pushed, renovate is scheduled every 24 hours to check for new releases of stuff etc.

Just a few containers and a happy user :-)

Thank you for this. Now I have a clue, why I sometimes have these odd red patches on my hand.

Will us gloves from now on.

Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.

Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.

They should call doppelmayr and get some proper hardware installed.. every single ski lift in Austria is better equipped..

That's my understanding.

And I think a small fee to get out of the googlyclaws. Paying $100 once, to host immich for the family and supporting development is a no brainer to me.

But I understand not everyone has the resources or is willing to donate.

Weighted blanket.

This.

Using a CEC link will make things even more simple, but that might involve additional hardware. Those raspberry thingies have native CEC on hdmi. For x86 you might have to look at some extra hardware.

And of course, Kodi is an example of a 10 foot interface.

You got me there... :-)

Yes, physically getting bigger.

Dell XPS had a batch laptops going crazy and pushing the touchpad up.

You will recognize it :-)

Inclusive tax, but exclusive service fee, handling fee, network fee, administrative fee, etc. You get the picture.

We are getting screwed by the energy companies and the infrastructure companies. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.

At least (some of us) are getting money back, when your solar production exceeds your consumption. But that is going to change soon.

NetApp makes storage devices, just like Dell's DataDomain.

Looks like the ad is referring to a ST6000NM0034, a drive from Seagate. Personally, I like to stay away from that brand as far as possible.

Have had good experiences with WD.

I totally agree, but this depends. It helps if you have backups already in place, if a few additional containers or VM's won't matter much etc.

Running forgejo and runners took me way less effort than properly setting up sendmail for instance.

It all depends on skills, resources etc. Everyone needs to make these decisions themselves.

Chess fan by any chance?

Gonna recommend this to all my co workers.

It is not vulnerable to Windows viruses.

:-)

Well, early '90s and pretty much without any documentation apart from the source it was quite a struggle.

No HACS support out of the box. (HA as docker)

The only use for RPI is kodi and Mainsail for the printer. All of them boot from NFS, so no storage issues. Everything else is x86-64 or docker containers on those Intel/amd machines.

How does this handle files with long lines (width) and/or long paragraphs (height)?

Reason for asking: MDP was always complaining about files or terminal size. A properly working alternative would be great.

Thanks for this. Finamp looks really nice.

Really love the flym reader. Just works, no ads.

I compliment you for your knowledge 😊
