Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."
  • if you’re using it as a vacation rental and doing all the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you hire someone else to do the work for you then it becomes private property

    Do you guys even listen to yourself? This makes zero sense.

  • UK smart meter network to be upgraded to 4G connectivity
  • Isn't it weird how the operators of the largest and most widespread cable networks has to transmit their data over the air?

  • Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."
  • The recent strong example of a communist revolution gave us the anti-communist revolution. It took us 30 fucking years though. And the cost of this little detour can still be felt today. We're at least 2 generations of progress behind, compared to our western peers.

  • Nobody panics when things go "according to plan."
  • Yes, they are. Because by destroying the market, you also destroy the toothbrush making machines, and kill the toothbrush makers. Have fun eating the rich, but don't complain when they end up stuck between your theeth.

  • First Router Designed Specifically For OpenWrt Released
  • Are there some openwrt based access points with proper client roaming? I use some random off the shelf tplinks as APs, and the connection always drops for a few seconds as I walk through the house. Turns out, I walk around a lot while talking on the phone.

    I've been playing with the idea of buying ubiquiti, but that's quite overpriced, especially considering that the budget option goes 90% of the way for at least 1/10 of the price.

  • A few months ago I picked up some free potatoes that were going to compost
  • how is this experience "solar punk?"

    The same way not eating crap is now called body hacking :)

  • Your explanation of federation that it "works like email" will be misunderstood
  • Nerds don't just want to teach people to swim. They want to teach them about hydrogen bonds and the mineral contents of the water, the processes of water treatment, and the technical requirements for a functional pool.

    And I think that's beautiful. There is nothing like watching someone explain something they're passionate about.

  • Living Alone
  • How did you get in my kitchen?

  • [Leak] Steam Controller 2 render thumbnail leaked in SteamVR drivers
  • Not the same thing, but the steam input allows you to make virtual buttons and assign them to the area of a touchpad.

  • Firefox 133 now seems to follow Gnome's accent color!
  • The Linux part was never a problem. The userspace is.

    For the proper opensource apps, this can be fixed by the package maintainers (shout-out to the real heroes!).

    For proprietary, compile-once run anywhere apps, that was always a problem. For more info, I recommend this great FOSDEM talk by Simon McVittie from Collabora.

  • I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!
  • What if we don't kill them, but just rob them instead?

    • The moderate lemming
  • I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me!
  • It's hard to tell. Satire is usually funny. #justaprankbro

  • Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome?
  • The community has always been free to step in. How is the end of Mozilla corp going to help?

  • Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome?
  • You know what awaits us at greater heights? The state sponsored APT groups and ransomware operators.

    I just can't see how cutting the funding for both chrome and firefox is going to make the web a better place.

  • Greatest video game ever played?
  • Detroit: Become Human

    It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn't just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.

  • What's the most obscure distro you can think of
  • Reminds me of chakra linux. Same principals, except built on top of Arch base, and the other toolkit apps were distributed as self contained image files.

  • Linux will never become more widespread untill they make it more plug-and-play
  • Remember when only one application at a time could play sound? And then Ubuntu shipped an early build of pulseaudio, and all of a suden no application could play a sound? :P

    Makes me appreciate PipeWire so much more.

  • Why is the vision correction in VR headsets only an afterthought?

    > Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world's population will have myopia.

    Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?

    Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.

    Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?

    Is there any consumer grade nvme ssd that works flawlessly on linux?

    I've tried Apacer AS2280Q4 2TB and ADATA SWORDFISH 500 GB. Both report nvme nvme0: globally duplicate IDs for nsid 1 since Linux 5.19, if I attach more than one.

    Only the first drive is seen by the system. Workaround so far has been to stay on 5.15, but that's not a viable long-term solution.

    This error has been known for quite some time, and has been fixed downstream for specific distros and ssd models. Is there any chance the manufacturers will start to assign unique ID's to each drive, or mainline implements usable a universal workaround?

    Can I use the same domain name for Lemmy and Mastodon?

    I'd like to self-host Lemmy or kbin and mastodon. I know I could use different subdomain for each, but I'd much rather keep it short. Something tells me, however, that other instances might not be happy about it.

    Is it doable?

    Shodan lifetime membership discount.

    Google is a search engine for human readable content. Shodan does the same for machine readable content.

    You can:

    • search for specific IP addresses, and it will show you the active ports, and running services.
    • search for a specific response header in the set of countries
    • browse through the screenshots of open VNC & RDP
    • open webcams
    • and more...

    The free accounts can use any feature, but the list of results is limited. But if you really want to look under the deck of the internet, the subscription is worth it.
