I saw "Fuck ICE" written on a bathroom stall recently. I smiled.

I think it might just be that there are more nazis now.

I'll stick with good ol' wifi + mqtt.

My understanding is that both are more or less just arch, except that Manjaro holds back update on some packages and breaks stuff.

A full git commit's what I'm thinking of

I feel like their is more common. I do deliberately say its for companies because companies aren't people and don't deserve people pronouns. Countries seem more like a collection of people, so I use their.

If someone knows more about grammar feel free to correct me.

From what I've heard it's someone who really doesn't know what they're doing making it, and it has a ton of obvious security issues that the dev refuses to acknowledge. It really isn't something that people should actually use.

I take the approach of settling into a distro then getting bored and messing with stuff I shouldn't (at least on a daily driver) and reinstalling out of necessity, sometimes changing distros as well.

Where linux?

The comments didn't seem bad to me. Some people were complaining about an HP laptop's power efficiency, but the framework's is fine. Also, the intel ones have noisier fans, but the amd is perfectly quiet in daily use. I have two real complaints with mine: while the power draw is low in use, it uses idle sleep, so it doesn't last that long asleep (longer than awake, so a few days to a week). You can of course power it off for longer term stuff, and boot times aren't bad so that really isn't a huge issue for me. The other one was a bit of a pain until I found the solution. All of the integrated amd GPUs from that gen have a problem on linux where they randomly get buggy and the whole ui drops to like 2 fps. It is resolved with a kernel parameter (sounds complicated but takes 5 min and a reboot. I will edit this with the steps when I get to my laptop). The frameworks generally improve over time. I wouldn't get a 16 yet, but my brother and I both got 13 amds several months ago and are very happy with them.

Edit: Nearly forgot, it came with an "AMD" (mediatek) wifi card. I replaced it with an ax210 as soon as I got it and would recommend you do the same. Amd requires laptop manufacturers to put the amd card in but it kinda sucks IMO.

Not if you're the only one who knows and can create artificial scarcity.

 

I messed up. My server's boot drive failed and I have no backups and have been unsuccessful in recovering any data. It contained the docker container and data for qbittorrent, meaning all the torrent files for the torrents I was seeding are all gone. I still have the files themselves which are intact on a separate raid. The problem Is I don't know how to continue seeding them because I don't have the original torrent files or magnet links or anything. Does anyone know how I can search for torrents that match the files I have, or do I simply have to replace everything one by one in order to continue seeding? Thank you everyone in advance. Also, I should mention that I am currently working on putting together a backup server as soon as parts arrive in a few days.

 

Basically title, but I can provide some information.

I'm looking to spend no more than $300 or so. I'm not well versed in different filaments (I'll be honest, I know nothing) or really anything about 3d printing, but I want to be able to print cup holders for someone I know whose vehicle has none, I imagine heat resistance and strength would be important there. I also do robotics now and would like to be able to make my own small robot chassis and parts. I'm also a Linux user and like FOSS, which I believe is fairly compatible with 3d printing, so I would like to find a printer that doesn't make me use proprietary software and that I can use with Fedora Linux without too much hassle. I know I'm new to this, and I know I'm in other hobbies where people post things like: "I want to spend no more than 6 dollars to get artificial superintelligence running on an Arduino Nano," so I hope this isn't that, and sorry if it is. Thanks in advance.

Seriously though, does anyone know how to use openwebui with the new version?

Edit: if you go into the ollama container using sudo docker exec -it bash, then you can pull models with ollama pull llama3.1:8b for example and have it.

 

I know audio fingerprinting intro skippers have existed now for a while. I just heard about media segments being introduced. Is there any project that combines the two to make an intro skipper that (eventually, ik segments aren't supported on most clients yet) work on other clients?

I got a new monitor somewhat recently, and I have noticed it causing interference with my wifi card (Ax210, not sure what brand). The wifi gets really slow (like 1/10 speed, sometimes dropping connections) when the monitor is plugged in and goes back to normal when unplugged. I've tried multiple hdmi cables but it still does it. I know you can buy antennas that can be moved, but I'm not sure where to start looking for them. Does anyone have any recommendations or info?

Edit: solution was putting aluminum foil around GPU Iowa and cable

This happened at a very inopportune time so apologies for the text being a bit bad. background: framework laptop 13 with 7640 u running fedora 40. ran great for a few months. issue: played some games on battery power. battery health went from mid 90's to 43. i know playing on battery is bad for it but that is more what i'd expect if I took a hammer to it. what i've tried: rebooted, cleared upower history, removed 90% charge limit in bios then shut down and charged.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Edit: I ran it out of battery while on the bios screen then charged it to full before powering it on. Battery health is now showing 91%. I'll see if it lasts, but I'm glad I didn't just go out and buy a battery without troubleshooting first.

 

Basically title. I think the whole ACT test prep industry is just completely scummy, but I do need to take it. Does anyone know where to find stuff like this? I'm sure the demand exists considering how much they jack up the prices for this kind of stuff. Thanks in advance.

I have been not recommending Ubuntu to people because of obvious reasons (the Amazon search integration and snaps, mainly). The reason I am posting this is because someone I know mentioned that they are considering Ubuntu. They have a degree in cs and generally are competent with computers, but didn't like mint when they tried it. I would like to know a few things, since I haven't looked into Ubuntu in a while:

Has anything changed about snap? I know people didn't like it at first, especially the proprietary server, but I don't think they will care about that and I mainly just want to know if it will eat all their RAM or something.

Have they made any changes in their management that may make sure there won't be another Amazon search thing?

Is it best to use the default desktop on Ubuntu? I would recommend Kubuntu to them, all else being equal, but don't know if maybe the default one is better integrated.

Edit: The person will be 100's of miles away so helping them with issues will be hard, and Ubuntu LTS should be stable. Plus, basically everything that "supports" linux but doesn't really usually supports Ubuntu. I do really see where they're coming from, but want to know if it has a major potential to backfire on them and if they might be better off with Fedora.

I recently built a computer for someone. It was just for general use, not gaming or anything, so I went with fairly simple specs. Because they wanted an insanely quiet computer, I went with an NHD15S. The problem is that cooler causes flexing in the motherboard that makes the CPU not make contact with the socket. Is there a not overly janky way that I could fix that without getting a smaller cooler? I know flexing is the issue because it works for a while with the big cooler, but eventually won't boot after being shut down, or crashes in weird ways and then won't boot, and the mobo lights always show a CPU and dram light. The box cooler has no issues, but is louder under load.

Edit: it does boot with the large cooler if the system is on it's side. I followed the mounting instructions carefully.

Edit 2: Solved. I was overtightening.

I am currently out of town, and my server went down. All my services go through nginx, and suddenly started giving error 502. My SSH won't let me in. I had my sister reboot the server, and it still doesn't work. I apologize for the lack of details, but that is all I know, and I can't access logs. I've cleared cache, and used a VPN in case fail2ban got me. I recently got a tp link router, so it could be something with that, but it was working for a while. I will have her do another reboot, and if that doesn't work I will have her power off and unplug the server in case it was hacked.

Edit: I have absolutely no clue why, but it works now. I literally did nothing. As far as I know, my sister hasn't touched it today. It just started working. Computers, man...

Edit 2: Actually she said she did something. Not sure what, but it works now.

My family needs a new router to replace the old (though not old enough that it should be dying) netgear router that is slowly dying. I want to do something with good foss firmware like opnsense or openwrt. I was thinking that the BananaPi options look good, but had some concerns. I would like to install the firmware myself, rather than trust that the manufacturer didn't modify it in any way. I don't know if the pre-made openwrt bananapi routers can be flashed with custom firmware easily. Also I need something with wifi (ideally wifi 6 or better), though would be willing to consider a separate WAP. VLANs would be nice too, but I could live without them. Have any of you done this? What has your experience been, both with install and long term? Is there anything I should look out for that I might not think of? What resources can I use to find out more about this?

Edit: This is the one I'm looking at. Sorry for linking to Amazon but I used FF's remove tracking from URL feature. https://www.amazon.com/youyeetoo-BPI-R3-Development-MediaTek-Support/dp/B0BLVF9697/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Never buy .xyz (self.selfhosted)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by HumanPerson to c/[email protected]
 

I just wanted to post this here because I want to help you all and hurt gen.xyz as much as possible. I had a .xyz domain through njal.la which I used to host jellyfin, homeassistant, and other basic things for friends and family. My domain recently became inaccessible without any notice. After a while of troubleshooting, I found that it had been reported to xyz as abuse, and they must have done zero investigation whatsoever before serverholding my domain. I thought about opening a ticket with xyz to get my domain back, but realized that I no longer wish to buy from some shitty company that will take down any site without warning. Bought a .com domain since they are somewhat reputable, and I would advise everyone here to never buy a .xyz domain. Angry rant over.
