hollunder, in Low battery life due to high power consumption on t490 thinkpad. (help needed)

While I think that 5h of battery life with yt videos running is ok for a t490 you could still try to recalibrate the battery with tlp.

I have a t470s (has two internal batteries) where suddenly the performance of one of the batteries somehow got really bad. After calibration it works as good as before (upower says it’s at about 80%). I did the calibration in windows tho with Lenovo vantage as I’m still running a dual boot setup and didn’t know about tlp before.

“social mistakes”???

Gork,

That’s a funny way to say murder.

duncesplayed,

It’s not. He was very explicitly not talking about his murder there.

Author choosing some odd phrasing to group murder and interactions on the LKML.

Edit: The letter does include “social mistake in the Linux community” but it’s still odd to phrase it that way in an article about it, imo.

@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

He was not referring to the murder using that phrase though. He was detailing how he poorly interacted with others on the project.

Bitrot, (edited )
@Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yes, which is why it is a little odd for the article author to include it without context, because we all immediately think of one social mistake that has nothing to do with Linux.

rottingleaf,

Lack of planning - getting caught by police because of chopping your wife up in a place connected to you - social mistake.

I know that’s not what the title means, just all the “killer feature” jokes are afloat in my skull.

TomMasz,
@TomMasz@lemmy.world avatar

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked. The rest of the letter describes the “social mistakes” in dealing with co-workers and the Linux community. He even asks that those co-workers’ names be added to the credits and his negative comments about them be deleted. There’s no forgiving what he did to his wife but there’s at least some evidence he’s changed since that happened.

atzanteol,

He did mention the murder of his wife and said he would detail his regret to anyone who asked.

This is true - I’m reacting more to the title than the content. It’s a very peculiar choice of words.

There’s no forgiving what he did to his wife but there’s at least some evidence he’s changed since that happened.

Perhaps - it’s hard to tell. It still reads a lot like one of his standard narcissistic rants even as he’s complimenting others. It’s still all about his “dream”.

TomMasz,
@TomMasz@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not a doctor but he certainly seems neurodivergent based on his writing. It’s hard to imagine him ever changing in some significant way and being “rehabilitated” enough to be allowed back into society, hence the “some evidence”. It’s might be best he remains in jail rather than be paroled.

atzanteol,

Yeah - I mean - I don’t want to get into the business of analyzing somebody’s metal state but he definitely seems to have issues with fixation. But I also don’t want to cross the line into saying that he’s necessarily dangerous because of that. He’s dangerous for other reasons though. I agree with your “some evidence” line in that he does seem to be focusing on the part of his personality that does seem to be the most dangerous - inability to manage conflict. Prison does provide for that conflict - but it also provides many rules and structures that he wouldn’t have on the outside. Dunno. I have a difficult time saying that anybody who has murdered their wife should ever see freedom again at all - “reformed” or not.

Vilian, in [Help] Audio devices disappear after reboot (EndeavourOS, Pipewire)

do you have pipewire installed?

Evkob,
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, I included that in the title, should have restated it in the body though!

AnEilifintChorcra, in [Help] Audio devices disappear after reboot (EndeavourOS, Pipewire)

I’m not very familiar with pipewire, I’ve always just been able to plug and play with any headphones but you can try runnning


<span style="color:#323232;">Journalctl -r
</span>

After your next reboot to see the most recent system logs and check for any errors with pipewire

I think you can also run


<span style="color:#323232;">Sudo systemctl status pipewire.service
</span>

After you reboot to make sure that it is enabled by default, if its not you should be able to run


<span style="color:#323232;">Sudo systemctl enable --now pipewire.service
</span>

This Reddit thread might be helpful Teddit alternative link

EndeavorOS also have a forum that might be helpful

Evkob,
@Evkob@lemmy.ca avatar

So this comment made me realize pipewire.service wasn’t enabled (I had to use the command ‘systemctl --now enable pipewire --user’ as the ones you provided didn’t work on my system.)

It’s up and running now, but after a reboot I still have the same issue.

    It wasn’t, but this still doesn’t fix the issue. I’m honestly perplexed and might just deal with triple reinstalling alsa-utils after every reboot. I’ll probably start from a fresh install soon enough anyway :P

    I’ve no idea what you’re referring to aside from maybe the Intel ME, but there may be a way to flash coreboot on it.

    WeAreAllOne, (edited )

    When any pc starts, isn’t there the boot up menu etc? I’m referring to that. In that menus there are options of remote access or firmware updates etc apart of course the usual setup options like in what turn the boots take place eg HDD, network, dvdrom , USB and others like time, date etc.

    Intel ME is one concern yes but I doubt I can flash corevoot on this machine as it is almost 2 years old.

    Grimpen, (edited ) in Which terminal emulator do you use?

    #1, whatever is default. The main advantage of the terminal is that it’s just a terminal, fundamentally the same terminal since the dawn of computing.

    Having said that, I do sometimes install a non-default terminal. I haven’t seen any of them mentioned:

    cool-retro-termIt looks like an OG CRT! What other terminal emulator has this killer feature?

    Byobu Technically a front end for tmux, but it gives some useful status info and multiple windows.

    This sounds like a privacy concern. Maybe one of the privacy communities will have a better answer.

    You’re worried that the bios will ping hp and hand over info, is this something that you have info on?

    terminhell, in HP Elite Desk

    Depends on the model. While some offer bios updates over ip, not all do. That would really be the only thing talking out.

    Dehydrated, in HP Elite Desk

    The UEFI firmware shouldn’t connect to the internet at all. You can’t rule it out entirely, but the threat is pretty small. Theoretically, it can access your hard drives, but again, it’s very unlikely that your BIOS will exfiltrate your data and send it somewhere. If you want to be sure, use LUKS for full disk encryption.

    jsalvador, in Which terminal emulator do you use?
    @jsalvador@programming.dev avatar

    Formerly I used Terminator, because I liked to split the screen. Then I moved to Kitty because having a GPU-powered terminal sound amazing, and now I’m using gnome-terminal because I’m trying to get back to simply and default.

    danieljoeblack, in Hans Reiser Apologies For Social Mistakes, Comments On ReiserFS Deprecation From Prison

    That was quite the read but pretty worth it. He talks about a lot of the mistakes he made not just in relation to his crime, but as a developer, project leader, and general human being.

    He discusses what things he would have done differently, and how he thinks that could have changed things not only for him but his software as well.

    He mentions multiple times how much he wishes that the conflict handling and social classes he has access to in prison, were available to him in school. He ends the letter with a call to action, for just that asking people to try and affect legislation to get more youth access to this information to avoid cases such as his.

    moon, in Canonical's Steam Snap is Causing Headaches for Valve

    Would be cool if they just straight up supported flatpaks. That’s been my main way of gaming for a couple years now, and it works great. The downside is that the folder structure is confusing so it makes things like modding pretty difficult.

    superbirra,

    or, you know, you can use your distro packages

    moon,

    or, you know, you could use a much better and consistent platform

    Falcon,

    Well, no, neither approach is better than the other, it’s apples and oranges.

    There will always be a place for installing native applications. In the least analysis, the container itself should probably have some dependencies packaged for the target program.

    The benefits of containerisation are obvious, but it’s been a lot of work and there are still edge cases to iron out.

    FreeBSD has had jails since 2000. Linux, however, only got namespaces in 2008 and the first bubblewrap release on GitHub was 2016.

    I’ve been using chroots and containers for development for about 2 years now and it’s been fantastic, however, I’m still grateful I don’t have to jump inside one every time I need to write a python script.

    barsoap,

    I’m still grateful I don’t have to jump inside one every time I need to write a python script.

    Honestly, I’m on NixOS and it’s not a bother because it saves time down the line when your script would break during a system upgrade which it doesn’t on NixOS as without you telling it to, it will still use all the old dependencies. Also you already have a couple of flake.nix floating around you can just copy and adjust and direnv does the rest.

    superbirra,

    I use debian, I’m happy and definitely have no idea what you are talking about :)

    TheGrandNagus, (edited )

    Debian is one of the distros where flatpaks are most appropriate lol, it’s the best way to not have programs that are really old

    Adding weird third party repositories that can cause all kinds of issues probably isn’t the best idea

    superbirra,

    tbf, flatpaks are problematic shit noobs tend to appreciate because reasons. That said, beside the fact steam ships its own chroot, I’m a happy sid user and I don’t even have this imaginary problem of things being ‘very old’ sooo … but I can confirm you shouldn’t add weird third party repos or shitty flatpaks :)

    TheGrandNagus, (edited )

    It’s not just noobs that appreciate flatpak. Flatpak is good all-round.

    And the problem of Debian packages being old is very much not imaginary lol. Debian has only just moved beyond Gnome 3.38/Plasma 5.20/kernel version 5.10.

    That’s ancient. And that’s not to mention the other software repos, which are often updated at an even slower pace.

    Don’t assume that just because you want extremely outdated packages, everyone else must want the same.

    superbirra, (edited )

    you normally skip reading half of the comments you reply to, eh? :) ciao ciao from my debian system which does everything, including paying my rent and a bit more, w/o this shit ;)

    TheGrandNagus,

    I didn’t ignore anything.

    And you don’t need to be so defensive. Nobody said Debian is bad or that you can’t use it to make money, just that it being severely outdated can be an issue, and it can. Flatpak helps, but it doesn’t completely fix it.

    My comment wasn’t meant to hurt your feelings.

    superbirra,

    lol I’m not defensive at all hahahaha rest assured my opinions aren’t changed by such a stupid zealot conversation, also this fact you don’t entirely read comments you’re replying about contibute to the lulz. Don’t react too bad to the money thing, one day or another you could also start working in this industry but if I could choose I’d go w/ dog training (I’m speaking for me, I’d really go that way). Cheers my friend

    TheGrandNagus, (edited )

    I dunno, it sounds awfully defensive to me. It wasn’t meant to hurt you, it’s just a discussion about software packaging. There’s no personal attacks here.

    I did read your comments, and despite trying to change the topic, create strawmen, and shout ad-hominems, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s reasonable to say Debian packages are often very, very old and outdated. Because they are.

    That may not be an issue for you, but it is for many.

    You shouldn’t let that make you upset, it doesn’t invalidate your use-case.

    superbirra,

    hahaha I swear to you that seeing you strain so hard to push your fallacies who knows where makes me laugh. Believe it or not, there remains a world of people out there laughing at those who use this garbage, and your social media woes will not, as usual, shift half an ounce of reality :) believe it or not, lemmy is not reality, outside those servers there is a real world :) but please, feel welcomed to keep supporting I don’t know what theory, you’re welcome, at least at this party :PP

    TheGrandNagus,

    Now you’re just talking absolute gobbledegook.

    superbirra,

    I don’t know man, the important thing is that you stay calm while I continue to mind my own business. Say hello to the computer vegans from me, and ofc stay hydrated :P and please, PLEASE, do not mumble 3h again your next response sweetie <3

    stinerman,
    @stinerman@midwest.social avatar

    I don’t mind the old packages (I’m typing from Debian Stable right now). If that’s a bother for other people Debian Stable isn’t the way to go. Even I wouldn’t recommend Stable on a desktop/laptop unless that person knew what they were getting themselves into. I used to run Sid a while back, but didn’t want to have to deal with the mild breakage from time to time. Generally speaking it’s “stable enough” for most people, especially on a daily driver.

    That being said, I have a few flatpaks running, but that’s mostly because they’re apps that aren’t packaged for Debian.

    TheGrandNagus, (edited )

    Yeah. And if it works for you, it’s good. I have a headless Debian home server running in my house right now.

    I’m just saying it’s completely valid to not be into Debian because the packages are ancient, just as it’s also completely valid to not be into Arch because the packages are too bleeding edge.

    stinerman,
    @stinerman@midwest.social avatar

    Agreed, but I think there are enough flavors of Debian to satisfy someone if they want newer packages without resorting to Flatpak/Snap/etc.

    TheGrandNagus,

    You say “resorting” like using flatpak is awful

    moon,

    It’s actually a massive issue on Debian

    superbirra,

    mmh, what? :)

    moon,

    ?

    superbirra,

    👍🏾

    OsrsNeedsF2P,

    Steam’s runtime is already sandbox-ception. Flatpak might be more appealing to Valve than it seems.

    superbirra,

    I see no value in switching from current situation (in-repo deb pkg + steam autoupdates) to flat/snap/farts, which I don’t use at all…

    OsrsNeedsF2P,

    It’s not about you, it’s about what’s easier for Valve. If Valve is fine packaging, and getting bug reports, from all the different distributions, they’ll keep doing things as is. But as a Linux app developer myself, I exclusively publish to Flatpak because it guarantees everyone has the same system.

    superbirra,

    you’re at best uninformed about how the process actually works and what’s the role of a distro maintainer, a distro project, upstream authors. Not that every piece of software has enough value to be included in this process so maybe it will make sense to package your stuff by yourself.

    @mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

    Maybe they’ll get there eventually, considering this is their method of choice for installing 3rd party apps on SteamOS 3.0.
