I have rooftop solar, but only for the house because I can't reach my car to charge it in the street.
The car sits outside for days (I work from home), so in my case this would be great.
This is the 1st I've seen of this car, so haven't read any other details, but I'd be surprised if external charging wasn't possible.
I don't have any evidence to backup my statement, but for my usecase (Linux booting troubleshooting toolkit) Kingston sticks last a fair while (~10 years), but Sandisk fail sooner (<5years?)
The main thing I've noticed for all brands: there's no warning before failure. They're like nicad batteries... all good, then one day - completely dead. So never keep any data on them that you can't lose.
And apparently monkey is only the 6th password attempt to try:

Good point about the default video source. I had to use “hotel mode” on 1 TV to get that to work... I'll check what this one does
thanks
I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don't use Google's, then you'll need to provide one.
Er. Am I the only one to comment that this is a refreshing change to all the displays in shops, airports, etc that show the many ways that Windows errors and BSODs?
Linux on the desktop? Hell no, it's on 80' billboards.
(It's not Arch btw)
So, Microsoft saved everyone from the bad Linux then?
/s
It's come quite a way... O.MG Cable
Just a cable... complete with wifi man-in-the-middle abilities
No it's Crowdstrike... we're just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.
... searches for "Futa" on company laptop...
Not sure if it's the devs to blame when there's statements like:
Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.
So, I'm guessing it's the business that's not supporting good dev->test->release practices.
But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.
Best way: strip the whole thing down to 1 stick of RAM and do a memtest and then work back up.
Don't rule out a dodgy PSU with a floating power rail, so the first few RAM tests are also testing if the PSU is dying.
It's not just browsing discussed there. Re-read that again with cybersecurity in mind... online banking shouldn't be done whilst you're sharing a browser with tiktok (as an example)
Yep, there's private / incognito modes, but they just drop all the local session data, they're not any more secure.
I think they should consider the word "wages" instead.
Let's be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.
Checkout big-launcher:
big-launcher is a work-in-progress HTPC application launcher. The design is loosely based on the Roku UI, consisting of a sidebar menu on the left, and selectable apps on the right. This project is intended to be the successor to my other HTPC project, Flex Launcher. Compared to Flex Launcher, big-launcher will be more graphically advanced, but less customizable. The program will be written in C++ and utilize SDL for graphics.
I just read about it from the Flex Launcher page, so no idea what it's like, just passing it on...
Whatever you do:
That means you'll really understand it and how to maintain it.
And others have said: 3-2-1 backups
I think the main thing is for you to try doing a test restore of your data before you need to (and you already have a local backup anyway if your test goes wrong)
That will give you a better understanding of the whole process - they might be 100% reliable in storing data which is totally unusable by you because you've lost your decryption key, weren't backing it up correctly, etc (for example).
This is a really good point - us "believers" probably don't glance at the negativity because we know it's (generally) incorrect, but how others perceive it can be hard to convince if all they read is negativity.
Consider that most people know a laptop runs an OS, so they can distinguish "Dell" from "Microsoft", so I'm often baffled why people stuggled when moving from WinXP to Vista / 7 (ie a whole new experience... and often asking where to get a hacked version for free), but when I suggest putting then they run away.
Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I'm out and about I just can't work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)...
I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly
I'd also split #2 further:
2a: Using a domestic DSL router and Synology NAS to run everything 2b: Has a Raspberry Pi (or 6) maybe a 2nd repurposed old PC and possibly an unmanaged switch 2c: Full height 19" rack, UPS, firewalls, managed switches, full virtualisation with SAN, redundancy and 100Gb full fibre internet
I'm somewhere between 2b and 2c
If you do find their site works on a other browser (and I mean, the browser, not due to an addon, etc.) then complain to the company / bank / etc.
If they take your complaint seriously then I'd persevere with them... if they don't then they're not customer focused and your business (money) goes elsewhere.
I'm struggling with what appears to be buggy wifi on an old Lenovo laptop... I spent a moment just looking at the logs and appreciating whoever has spent time and energy trying to get this working, probably reverse engineering without any support... I wonder if that was Larry...?
This must've changed as I've shucked WD Elements / Book drives and they were normal drives...
So, you're saying the actual harddrive has a USB chipset onboard and only a USB interface?
When did this start happening?
Yes, because the CLI command is poweroff, so I do agree with you 🙂
(Please Wait... comments about alternative CLI commands will arrive soon...)
Logseq.
I used Joplin in the past, but just didn't quite get completely comfortable with it.
I also tried Nextcloud in the past... that project has become too big for my needs and the file syncing had issues.
Logseq is very similar to Joplin (ie markdown files), but IMHO the editor is easier with Logseq, plus the files are just simple plaintext files, named after the page title, so are easy to edit outside of the application (and immediately update in the app)
At first, I was a little unsure of Logseq's default of working as a daily journal, but after a while it makes more sense for me - I use it at work, so 99.9% of my notes are meetings, tasks that occur during daily life... and of course those daily journals can refer to other "non-time based" project pages...
I also use syncthing to sync the notes between android phone, linux and Windows laptops and my NAS... so that wouldn't change for you.
Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.
And, we're back to normal?
+1 for Radicale as a CalDAV server
The calendar on Vivaldi browser is a good enough client for me on a laptop.
I also sync to my phone with DAVx5 and view with fossify calendar from F-Droid
Logseq it defaults to a daily journal and uses Markdown files (again, daily files by default)
It has a whiteboard function and can "embed" images, videos, etc (they're obviously links to asset files stored separately to the markdown text file...)
There's an Android app which I sync to Windows and Linux machines via syncthing - the App doesn't have plugin support yet, but IMHO, on the phone, I just want to type notes...
It can be hosted on a web server, but I have not tried that (more resources to setup & maintain from my POV)
I tried Obsidian and Joplin in the past, but this just seems to be simpler, opener (if that's a word) and fits to my needs easily.
There's also a load of videos on youtube to get started...
Thank you. I went quite light headed laughing about your statement.
Post it to me?
I'm kinda repeating things already said here, but there's a couple of points I wanted to highlight...
Monitor the SMART health: Enterprize and consumer drives fail, it's good to know in advance.
Plan for failure: something will go wrong... might be a drive failure, might be you wiping it by accident... just do backups.
Use redundancy; several cheapo rubbish drives in a RAID / ZFS / BTRFS pool are always better than 1 "good" drive on it's own.
Main point: build something and destroy it to see what happens, before you build your "final" setup - experience is always better than theory.
I built my own NAS and was going with ZFS until I fkd around with it.. for me... I then went with BTRFS because of my skills, tools I use, etc... BTRFS just made more sense to me... so I know I can repair it.
And test your backups 🎃
A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.
Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I'm not sure anything really works, so I'll say: none exist.
Logseq. That is all. (Oh, and syncthing...)
Agreed... with a timestamp on the video this was the best advice I had after a housefire.
Yep, look into Wake On LAN if you just want to power the NAS on remotely.
My NAS also powers on at certaIn times of day and off again after a while - IF - no-one's connected / no network traffic / etc.
I do NOT need my NAS on at 3am...
Edit : forgot to say, check out OpenMediaVault
I tried to use rEFInd years ago on my first UEFI machine, gave up and ended with GRUB... maybe it was just a crap setup and I need to try again...
But, how about backing up just the boot sectors / EFI partition with a dd command and then just restoring it again? Not a slick solution, I agree
TBH, if a distro doesn't give me options during install then I'd probably stop there as every update to GRUB could be automatically installed and blat your machine again.
Yeah, I can understand RAM use in htop, but not in top
Also, the Tree View makes it easy to see which part of has become a zombie, etc.
Well... of course only time will tell, but the fact that we've been doing that for sooo long... (me for ~20 years?) would imply that it might just be around for longer than snap/flatpak/etc
Of course, sometimes it's disguised as yay -S...
Came here to say this too... I contribute a few €/£/$ per month to various projects...
I won't get all righteous here, but just because you don't have to pay, doesn't mean you to say you can't support the developer(s)...
Ah, ok, got a little confused... GeoClue TZ is an improvement on GeoClue
I didn't even know this was a thing, I just dealt with this manually - now feeling a little silly.
