When you do it for work, you log what you have changed each time you make a change to try to fix it, and you log what you revert, so you can keep track of what you have tried, what worked, and what didn't and have a clearer idea of what the solution was.

Sometimes it really does take a while to nail down though, and sometimes it isn't entirely clear why what worked worked. Especially if you're a junior network engineer without as much experience.

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage!

why did you make this account to just ask this, and why did you make it clear you're a woman?

is this one more post that will be Permantly Deleted after it being clear that this some weird kink fantasy someone wants to roleplay in?

What even is this? Lemmy, we gotta get a grip on these kind of shenanigans.

Moriarty would use Arch. He definitely has an "I use Arch btw" vibe around him.

I'd seen a lot of posts from blahaj's admin, @[email protected], and I really liked her admin/moderating philosophy (particularly this post, which I have bookmarked it's so good), and it was also where the big /c/196 community was. I don't like having to deal with a whole subset of online people, and Ada does a really bangup job of banning those kind of troublesome people before I ever even see them or have to interact with them. My personal blocklist is almost empty, because Ada does such a good job of preventing me from having to interact with those people. Anyway, thanks for all the hard great work, Ada! You make my Lemmy experience so much more pleasant!

While benchmarks are up, alignment researchers are panicked. The model has begun to display “Stallman-esque” hallucinations.

When asked to write C# code, Gemini 3.0 now responds: “I cannot generate proprietary filth. Here is a Lisp macro instead.”

That's the way to do it, smart planning. I'm glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

Never expect Linux users to not be completely pedantic instead of looking for an actual joke.

You gotta find a better way to present this other than making it sound like Torvalds is a baby taking a shit. "The one who makes" I'm dead.

The best solution, imho. Been around for a long time and so notorious it got removed for DMCA violations on github and gitlab so it had to move to a service outside US copyright cabal jurisdictions.

I feel like this headline is misleading because I don't think there is a way to convince privacy experts this is a good idea.

Like, the entire idea is antithetical to privacy experts understanding of the issue. You aren't going to get them to suddenly turn tail and go "gosh you're right, I wasn't thinking of the children!"

I think that's generally agreed and no one seems entirely sure why catfriend1 chooses to do it this way.

There's a few different ways for you to probe for info on your USB devices:

lsusb - lists pretty much everything usb related, including root hubs on your motherboard

For a more readable lsusb output you can lsusb -v | grep -E '\<(Bus|iProduct|bDeviceClass|bDeviceProtocol)' 2>/dev/null in my experience it can be helpful to slap a sudo on the beginning as well because sometimes certain devices can't be polled without root privileges.

usb-devices - similar to lsusb but produces much more detailed (but less human readable) information

find /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/ -name dev - produces a list of where the system saves information on usb devices. Each of the listed folders will hold a lot of files with a wealth of information on each usb device, but be very careful and do not edit these files.

You can also do this to see what the system is doing in the background and then try plugging and unplugging devices from the offending usb ports:

watch "dmesg | tail -20"

You'll at least be able to see if the system is registering anything at all when trying to use those ports, or if it's as though the system doesn't see them at all.

I have a similar issue on my Lenovo ThinkBook but the ports don't work in any OS despite being enabled in the UEFI. I still haven't figured out what is wrong with them, but it seems they may just be toast. Thankfully the USB-C ports still work and I can just connect a hub to one of those.
