The title's kinda clickbait, they're removing the 'Full' option and adding a choose your own apps dialogue to the 'Minimal' (and now only) option, and installs the selected apps over the internet. This reduces ISO size since the apps aren't installed by default.

Which is an action I can agree with.

Woah peertube federating with lemmy is actually really cool!

Excel would be emulating the silicon here

I don't believe so, I think OP just misremembered 1970.

The 1704067200 is the 2024 new year, in seconds from 1970 (normal Unix time).

I believe the main contributor for drm_panic wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Link if you can't scan

Also it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (with white on black default).

CS2 was released as an update to CSGO, so it's effectively the same game as far as steam charts go.

Here's the free device manufacturer version: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n4wgh0z6vhq

Here's the Google Lens translation: The IP address of the DistroWatch platform, which provides news, reviews, rankings and general information about Linux distributions, was blocked by the National Cyber Incident Response Center (USOM) on the grounds of "IP hosting/spreading malware"

Yeah usually it'll still use your dGPU to render, but the frames still have to go back through the iGPU, so there's a fair bit of overhead compared to plugging straight into the dGPU. I'd imagine it might also increase CPU usage too, as it has to coordinate transfering frames between 2 GPUs.

Add --ozone-platform-hint=auto to the command, I've done it so may times for electron stuff it's engrained into my head now haha. You can check that it works with xlsclients.

Also QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland for QT based apps is handy to know too if they're not behaving.

Here's the word, if you were wondering:

It doesn't have a QR code in it's current state AFAIK, but I believe the guy wants to add one eventually. Here's what it might look like:

Also from the commits it looks like the colours are configurable at compile time (white on black default), and that exclamation Tux is already there.

Looks like this is already a thing though with [systemd-bsod]

Nah, that only handles boot errors, not kernel panics.

If you're using Oracle cloud (just guessing based off 1GB), they also offer free ARM VMs with 24GB of RAM, and netbird looks to support ARM.

Some discord servers can require a verified phone number, not any I know of, but it can be enabled.

NTFS-3G on Linux is very stable, and I'd recommend sticking to that, although I'd avoid the newer NTFS3 driver.

But if you really want to convert, and it's data that you don't mind loosing, ntfs2btrfs can convert NTFS partitions to BTRFS, and it's available in most distros' repositories.

Yeah, and I feel like someone's gonna slam that door one day and get egg all over their bananas.

They have free 'community editions', I haven't really found a need for a licence. I've only used IntelliJ, PyCharm, and ReSharper though.

Edit: I meant rider but I was using a student licence for it anyway.

I might be completely wrong, but I've heard that a key is only a few hundred dollars, and once you've got it you can sign whatever you want. I think ReactOS also used to offer free driver signing for open source projects.

So I guess if ReactOS can afford one, so can most anti-cheat companies.

A lot of people are saying WOL doesn't work over the internet, but I've got it working.

Basically port forward UDP 9 to your broadcast address (the last possible IP in your subnet), eg. 192.168.1.255. Then send the WOL to your public IP which will then get broadcasted out over your network by your router.

Typing this out, I realised this seems like a horrible security practice, so I'll probably disable it soon anyway, now that I've got multiple servers and a failover VPN.

Jokes aside, #9FA actually works too.

I actually might be having a similar issue on one of my servers, every 5 to 10 seconds the hypervisor will just freeze for less than a second, and it doesn't repeat characters but it still makes typing in SSH super annoying. I did find using irqstat that during that time, interrupts from the ahci kernel module would spike into the 50,000s, so I have a feeling it's to do with that, but I haven't really figured it out yet, since it somehow doesn't actually seem to affect my VMs.

Although it probably isn't related considering switching to KDE fixed it for you, and I haven't got display stuff installed.

I've debugged code in my dreams before, so I think dream reading is something that varies from person to person. Also I only have minor issues using computers and phones in dreams, like my typing sucks but it's not too difficult, keyboard shortcuts don't always do what I expect, etc; but I've heard of plenty of people who can't use tech at all or don't even dream of their phones.

Heavily depends on the server, a game server sure, for almost anything else you're probably doing it wrong.

Important thing to note, when using AMD, you'll probably need an additional amd_pstate parameter for better power management.

Outlook has had this for a while, and I use it a fair bit to acknowledge that I've read the email, but without actually replying.

It's only a mercury rectifier, totally safe (compared to the radioactive stuff) but looks really cool.

ZLUDA originally only supported on Intel since it was designed by an Intel employee, but AMD hired him to make it work for AMD instead. So in a way Intel is somewhat important here.

discord screen-sharing is not there but can be done from Firefox if needed

You can also install KDE's XWayland Video Bridge, which converts Wayland screen sharing into an app for discord to share.

flatpak install --user --or-update https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly/org.kde.xwaylandvideobridge.flatpakref

You might also want to add the repo for updates, but I think it's been down for a little while for me.

Edit: There's a new repo: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists xwaylandvideobridge-nightly https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly/xwaylandvideobridge-nightly.flatpakrepo

It aligns with the way you turn the wheel, so it's not confusing at all.

I think you forgot a /s

You could also uninstall the NVIDIA driver to get the proprietary taint out of the kernel.

Read more here, but a tainted kernel isn't usually an issue if you decide not to uninstall it.

Is there something else I can try

I use virt-manager, since it uses KVM which should already be present in the kernel.

I think Telstra in Australia has done a similar things in the past too.

Like the other guy said, they're probably not doing DPI to actually check for XMPP, so if something like portquiz.net:5222 loads, then you could host a VPN on the same ports as XMPP and have unrestricted internet.

I don't know if I'll remember, but I'll be able to try this in a few days, I have the same laptop, 2x 2.5G USB NICs + another 2 already in the mail, and also a 10G network.

If you're wondering, my intention for ordering them definitely wasn't for this, but more just for places around the house I can plug into, without having the framework NIC hanging off my laptop.

I'm pretty sure GitHub issues get looked at more by the devs, in this case one's already created: #857

Or actually two (maybe more): #838

On the ISO keyboards I've seen, the enter key has way more than double the surface area than ANSI, so it's definitely not 'just rotated 90 degrees'. Also these people probably grew up with ISO and struggle with ANSI, just like you probably grew up with ANSI and struggle with ISO.

A lot of external status services just send a HTTP request to a certain url, if it succeeds then it's up, if it errors or times out then it's down. They also usually let you check if TCP ports do the usual handshake thing if you aren't using HTTP.

The response time can also be used to check if a site is running slower than usual too, and if you have a use for it you can usually specify the required response code for success.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if GitHub has some per-server analytics they can also use to estimate the load, but Instatus would work as described above.

Sometimes these sorts of things are referred to as health checks, if you're looking for search terms. For example Docker can be set up to poll a container's web server every few minutes, and mark it as unhealthy it if it stops replying using the HEALTHCHECK instruction in the Dockerfile.

That's exactly why this project exists, to allow users to add ReBAR support to their old motherboards.

Can also confirm I do not get ads/promotions from Google Wallet, and Google Pay isn't an app anymore, so maybe you should make sure you have a legit version. I only get the you just paid notifications, which I would want to get.

Can you show an example of the notifications you're getting?
