RedWeasel, in Bluetooth dongle recommendation

Does your laptop have a replaceable wireless card by chance? Could get a combo board with wifi and bluetooth like the intel ax series of boards if you can. I use a m.2 ax200 in my desktop.

astrozoli,

It’s a desktop and it’s too old to have m.2. However thanks for the suggestion, it’s something I’ll consider when I upgrade

I believe there are m.2 to pcie adapter boards. It’ll feel weird putting laptop components in a desktop, but the important thing will be that it works.

astrozoli,

You know what is weird selling desktop components which are laptop components with an adapter www.asus.com/…/pce-ax1800/

RedWeasel,

If your system has a free PCIe slot you should be able to find a wifi card that will work. I personally am using an intel wifi board for bluetooth and have not had any problems with bluetooth. Their driver seems to be really stable on linux and in kernel and should be stable on windows as well. I got my m.2 card for about $20(usd) and wouldn’t expect that big of a difference for a standard PCIe card.

Good luck in whatever you end up doing.

maiskanzler,

I can really recommend those cards! They come in several sizes for laptop and desktop. I am not sure about USB. Just make sure you get the regular PCIe version and not the CNVio version (unless you have a compatible Intel Mainboard and somewhat recent processor). They differ in the naming, e.g. AX210/AX211 if I remember that right.

If you want a very simple editor, try avidemux.

Tibert, in USB fingerprint sensors with Linux support?

The issue is that even the same brand can have multiple USB fingerprint scanners, which may not all work.

From a 4y old reddit thread some person found a fingerprint scanner which worked, but some other person who had a similar one didn’t get it ot work.

Maybe we need a new distro that comes with vscode installed so we don’t have to do it!

dsemy, in Make a Linux App

Make a Linux app, make a Linux distro, who cares…

How about you just let people do what they enjoy doing.

conciselyverbose,

Yeah, this is obnoxious.

It's also truly terrible at being persuasive.

Murdoc,

Make a Linux app, not war.

It’s fun and games… until you get lots of “…just like X command?” commentaries from randoms. Until you get sick of such and decide to do something non-productive instead. Unless there is money included in the former.

t. Been there, done that.

Pitivi I use. Like feature lacking Adobe Premiere it is.

A lot to learn you have, Padawan.

You need to be much less fragile, or life is going to be hard. Really hard . I say this because you seem like a good guy.

cybersandwich,

Wasn’t the rule for one of the more popular Usenet groups: rule 1. Don’t be annoying 2. Don’t be easily annoyed

Tbh, that’s a pretty great foundation for any interactions on the web.

I love those two rules, when taken together. Seems these days communities just pick one, and both are worse off for it.

i would totally buy one for my desktop

d3Xt3r,

TIL about PostWatchBot, that seems handy. Thanks!

WalrusDragonOnABike, in Alright, I'm gonna "take one for the team" -- what is with the "downvote-happy" users lately?

One of the most common I downvote comments is including things like "Edit: why all the downvotes?" in topics that aren't about the voting system (instinctually downvoted this topic, but un-downvoted), . But also just downvote things things are spammy, *phobic, defending genocides, etc.

gerdesj,

How should someone who expresses an opinion - that receives downvotes - request feedback?

WalrusDragonOnABike, (edited )

Most of the time, it feels like people are just saying "yall are just mad cause I'm right" but using different words because its often obvious why: an unpopular opinion or believed to be objectively false. These comments already have plenty of replies explaining why their comment is bad in some way. The only cases where there should be confusion about why is is if you are posting in a community that gets the same comments all the time and so its spam and you don't know it, or you said something that is being misinterpreted but for whatever reason you are unable to tell why and you haven't gotten any replies already (but for some reason are paying close attention to your internet points).

cybersandwich,

It’s the Internet. People who participate in good faith discussions probably aren’t downvoting willy nilly. Everyone else isn’t going to be swayed or give meaningful feedback anyway.

Downvoted get abused a lot where they exist. People dog pile pretty quickly. It seems like an image human characteristic. It’s just a fickle mob. The smaller the community, where members know each other by handle, are usually the best for actual discussions.

Draconic_NEO, (edited )
@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That’s probably the reason why instances like lemmy.blahaj.zone, pricefield.org, and reddthat.com chose to disable them. They aren’t constructive and more importantly they lead to people using them instead of reporting, which is really bad when it comes to enforcing rule violations.

roguetrick,

Don't worry about it. If you were really wrong someone would chomp at the bit to reply to you about how wrong you are. If they're not, you either have an unpopular or popular enough to be spam, opinion.

RandoCalrandian,
@RandoCalrandian@kbin.social avatar

The downvote is the feedback

If people are downvoting and not commenting there is probably an obvious reason why.

Usually you just said some type of heresy in that community, like going to a NASA forum and saying it’s idiotic to still be trying for manned space missions to the moon or elsewhere.

It’s so anathema to the community they don’t even want to engage in a discussion about it, they just want to say “you’re wrong/I don’t like this” and move on.

Far more civil than how religions used to deal with heretics, imo

SpaceCadet, (edited ) in can you chkdsk from a windows vm?
@SpaceCadet@feddit.nl avatar

100% possible with a Windows 10 guest in kvm/libvirt.

You can connect the disk to your Linux system, and then pass through the disk’s entire block device to the VM. Windows will see the device as an actual disk, and you can perform your repairs that way. I have something like this in my domain definition to pass through my game drive to my Windows 10 VM: pastebin.com/GzuvMTWP

I can even use the manufacturer’s SSD maintenance tool from my VM.

Edit: lemmy doesn’t seem to like XML in code blocks, so used pastebin instead.

Lemmy is a fickle place.

Did you tried running it as another user? I’ve set binary ownership via chmod to the non-root user in the container.

QuazarOmega, (edited )

I’ll try that, I also read around that I could increase my UID namespace range (not that I understand what it means 🫣), so I’ll try that too

Edit: Now I half understand after reading these:

QuazarOmega, (edited )

Tried with another user and it works, looks really cool btw!

Any way to quit gracefully though?
I tried both Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z but it just ignores the signals, I could only resort to killing it
