  • Touch it until it works, then never again while it still does.

  • How much of your interest in something is subtly based on esthetics?

  • Depends. Some at least.For example, I dug out this old screenshot of how I used to listen to DAB radio, because regular radio receiver is too simple:

    Lots of visual stimuli.You can bet I use --verbose with every command possible.

  • I didn't know what Lemmy was, but I've seen SDF say they now host an instance on Twitter, so I joined.

    It is not very stable however. Sometimes it can go down for a week or more, sometimes the federation is broken. Historically, beehaw.org will always federate with us, even if somehow nothing else works.Up until recently there was a 2 day delay with federation of some content inwards, however the Cloudflare outage probably gave us enough time to catch up, so it's working again for now.Jerboa client often won't work with it because it times out after only 20 seconds. Sometimes you have to be more patient, at least 2 minutes. The MLMYM frontend seems to just load right away though.The admins haven't been posting or commenting for 2 years, but they randomly changed banner and picture of the main community, so someone is still here.

    At first they went big, with multiple instances. There is this US instance, but there were also ones in Germany, India, China and Japan from what I recall. But they're dead now.

    My issue is they only take donations via PayPal which doesn't like my debit card.

    1. Nestle products (I am bad at explaining why, and would just again end up researching their shit for 2 hours)
    2. Alcoholic drinks - kills braincells, and I'd prefer to keep both
    3. Cigarettes or vapes
    4. Closed-source software licenses (for personal use)
    5. Digital content that does not come on physical media
    6. Hardware with license-unlockable components (e.g. some networking equipment may limit throughput unless you pay more)

  • Maybe they have some dumb animals?Like in Out Of Position book, hence this comment/part:

    “I don’t give a crap what you do when you’re not here.” Coach dives right in. “Ladies, guys, livestock, whatever. What I care about is when it becomes a distraction that makes my job harder. Are you trying to make my job harder?”

    “No, sir.” I dismiss the image conjured up by him saying “livestock.” “My agent issued that statement without my authorization.”

    And yeah, they also eat meat.

  • Tastes too watery in my opinion.I actually like soy milk more, in fact more than normal milk.

    Although that may depend on the brand, and I don't know what it does with ice cream.

    Unfortunately, they soy milk stuff makes my mouth itchy, throat scratchy, and gives a bit of a funny feeling to my stomach, and flushing it down with water doesn't help.Maybe I shouldn't..., meh. I already had to leave out most of fruit due to this. Ironically, no issues with pineapples and kiwis. I've heard someone say the pineapple core is just trash because it makes their tongue numb and is just hard anyway. I'll just chew it and the only drawback is having to floss afterwards.

  • 99% of Windows usability issues would be fixed if Windows had the guts to add this button

    Jump

  • Alright, so others went over the "easy" way to see which program is being the offender. But I feel like the average Lemmy user just skips GUI at this point.Say hello to KDE:

    KDE also does automatic fsck before mounting, which is why it may take some 2 seconds to mount a drive.

    HDDs it properly spins down and unpowers as well.

  • Writes are asynchronous on Linux.

    Unless I mount it with sync, which I wish would be default for non-system drives (which are going to be in fstab anyway). I didn't notice any difference, aside from the lack of guessing when the magic is over. 2GiB goes into black hole, now what?

  • Concerned about claiming warranty for homelab with Linux

    Jump

  • Well, Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#Computer_DVD_drives

    Basically same as regions on standalone DVD players. Just a scummy thing to only allow you to play DVDs from your own region, perhaps so that you wouldn't buy them from cheaper countries, or buy them earlier than you're supposed to in your country.

    If everything works correctly, then say you buy DVDs from UK, but something new just released in US, but haven't even played in cinemas in UK yet. So you buy it from US... and it shouldn't work.

    VLC doesn't care about this, but still, the drive firmware might.

    BluRays also have regions

    By the fucking way, BluRays have some DRM with revocable keys

    This is part of the AACS protection scheme: editors are able to revoke old software player host keys that have leaked on the Internet and distribute the lists on newer commercial disc releases. This is irreversible and cannot be fixed even after reflashing the drive.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray#Revoked_Host_key/certificate

    So when do you truly own something? When you pirate it. No regions, no DRM, 4k on any device powerful enough.

  • If it is a hardware failure, I don't see why it should be an issue. I know re-installing Windows is something PC repair shops do often, and I don't see how that's different from any other OS.

    fault or failure resulting from software

    Unfortunately, that's quite broad. But it could also just apply for stuff like overclocking or firmware modifications. Or even simpler stuff. I could see someone having DVDs from multiple regions, changing drive region every time until they hit the 5 changes limit, and then trying to claim it for warranty (I've had some software on Windows do that automatically...).

    Should I submit it with the Linux installation intact or replace it a fresh install of Windows

    Or if there's private data, overwrite it with output of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero. blkdiscard might also be your friend since it's an SSD.

    I am doubtful whether they have experience working on anything other than Windows

    Probably they'll just test the rest with their own drive or re-install it.

    Or maybe try to ask them how to prepare the device for the warranty claim.

  • ~Probably an odd bug in WG Tunnel - either upload or download slow based on MTU~ Edit: And it was an IPv6 leak (for the most part)

    Jump

  • Welp, turns out I am just an idiot. 1279 and below disabled IPv6, and thus the ::/0 route didn't get applied either, causing a leak. What's still odd is the lower download speed that doesn't happen in another client.As for the upload, it probably gets a better route through the VPS, giving me a faster speed, and giving me some confusion.

    So my first idea with IPv6 was close, but on the other side of the connection.

    Anyway, your reply helped me find this issue, as my outtake was to try fully disabling IPv6 (not the first time I tried such "solution").
