  • Take. It. Down.

    Do you know how much CSAM was on Lemmy when it first got started?

    This kind of service should be open for friends and family only, NOT the whole wide world.

  • Termux is the shitty Linux on Android emulation Tmux is the not shitty terminal multiplexer (AKA "make this thing still run even though I'll disconnect soon")

  • I have 3 old cellphones that for the life of me, no matter how hard I tried - couldn't install an alt android OS on it

    One device was compatible - but I couldn't unlock the boot loader

    One device was never tested against any alt OSes

    One device was carrier locked.

    I also have one old Galaxy Tab that I spent weeks trying to flash another ROM to it - and it fails every time.

    I'm 0/4 on trying to reanimate old android hardware - it's just too difficult and too much hoops to go through.

    At least I'm fairly capable with installing Linux on old laptops - and given that a new wave of Win11 compatible laptops is coming - I'll get to do it more frequently soon.

    I haven't tried to do LUKS yet, and I'm dying to get my hands on a Yubikey and learn what I can make it do.

  • Extreme sarcasm. The Free Desktop organization essentially stopped all development of their old GUI solution for Linux - named X11 Window System, and went all in on developing Wayland, the successor.

    Plus, speaking as a former DWM and suckless tools user, it is elitist, and thinks way too highly of themselves - they think their code explains itself (which it doesn't), features are easy to add (nope), and a readable config file is bloat (it isn't).

  • Ah yes, the ever growing and maintained X11 window system.

    The future of security and standardization, with the mostly used feature of transmitting GUI assets over a network.

    And to top it all off - the most documented code project, with the users facing easy customization options, that requires almost no programming language knowledge - and the easily compatible feature matrix, with allways up to date patch files.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    Any Linux laptops available in retail?

  • No no car not do that.Car go road.

  • I was planning on starting to host my own Immich server for my family. Like I did for other futo projects, I paid, even if there is no technical reason to. Does anyone know what the "sever key"/"client key" thing is? I'm imagining that a client key is what goes in the immich android app, and a server key is what goes in ther server admin console?

    The thing is that if I want to be considered as someone who uses FOSS ethically - and I'm hosting for my family - I don't want each of them to purchase a client key.... In my eyes - purchasing a server key in that price should at least give me some leeway, and the small number of clients I plan on supporting would not be considered unlicensed...

  • It was the age of abandonment

  • gas stoves and ovens are by far more popular than electric by a good margin.

    That's because of your power grid/building code is optimized for 120V - and you need more juice for cooking.

  • Only a matter of time until it is adopted globally.

  • That's because US/CANADA cities are not designed with public transport in mind.The rest of the world uses actual run of the mill normal buses, regardless if it is for school or not.

  • Nope. Time difference are countable, not continuous. Wrong clock can be 12 minutes wrong - thus wrong in any timezone.

  • Primary School, student from an abusing home, pulled rug from under legs of teacher. Teacher paralyzed. Student banned. Heard he's in juvenile prison now.

  • I feel I must clarify. I value my privacy, and my money. I prefer to disconnect it from the internet immediately, but if the vendor put a piece of code that measures offline time and then disables critical HDMI input functionality - it is a different story entirely.

    What if after X months of offline functionality - I have to connect it again because of "You must connect to the internet to continue using this TV"

    What if being offline for a very long duration of time - means that when connecting it again - the firmware update bricks my TV?

    I know the instabilities that occurr when updating after a very long time of being offline.

    I'm unsure about my specific model - but it is an LG WebOS OLED 48"

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?

  • Why though? In 1969 a ball appeared in the middle of the room, hit a wall and came back towards the portal...

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    How long would it take for a ball rolling across the room to bounce off the wall and get back to you - but the room has a time traveling portal halfway through?

  • Stop making a fool out of me.Why don't you come on over, Valerie?
