I need a new bench power supply

Hello, I did manage to kill my cheap-ish bench supply causing it to randomly output up to like 300% the set voltage when under load which did already kill one board. Probably I didn’t actively kill it but the chinesium did its job 🤷🏻‍♂️. It was a single output supply, when needed I hooked up additional buck- or...

The other option is a used one off ebay, could probably find an older one from one of the good brands for $100-200.

Have backups. Use something like Veeam Endpoint or a similar software that will image the entire system in a bootable state, and schedule it daily with incremental storage.

Every day stuff could potentially break something, updates out of your control could break something, hardware failures happen, etc…

Because I have to for some things. If I could never see a CLI again I’d be happy.

Looks like they offer lifetime plans, I definitely associate those with services that aren’t well made and don’t stick around long, since lifetime storage plans aren’t really sustainable.

Wait, isn’t a lower frame time better? Why does their screenshot show windows having the lowest and say that it scored last?

Looking at the source article, windows did have generally better 1% lows except for Starfield, so I think this article has it backwards. They also cherry picked 2 results where windows was worse lol.

I’m all for pro-linux stuff but articles like this just reek of making shit up so it looks better.

It only defeats 2FA from a standpoint of someone gaining access your PW manager. But for everything else like a service getting hacked and leaking your passwords for it, the 2FA will still do its job fine.

Looks like it’s already flipped to true in Librewolf, glad they seem to have some common sense compared to mozilla.

Is there any good reason for a browser to mask the real URLs like that? There seems to be a trend of hiding parts of the URL people see lately.

I really like Sourcetree, been using that for a long time.

How to download ALL dependencies for an external .deb package (rescuezilla)?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to prepare a live iso with a USB stick including the additional rescuezilla package (or, alternatively, additional packages for a live rescuezilla .iso). Sadly rescuezilla does not support encryption, and so I’d like to be able to create/encrypt an image on one single live iso, not having to do a...

Yeah that’s for sure, it’s pretty user hostile.

It’s not open source but I absolutely love Veeam Agent, it will backup an online system with encryption, very easy to use, and they provide a bootable recovery image to restore from.

Would it be easier to use Clonezilla? It looks like it supports encryption.

df shows mounted filesystems, do you see it with lsblk?

How are both Firefox and Chrome “High” for spying, when Firefox basically only sends diagnostic telemetry by default.

Half of this site is bitching about browsers checking for updates to the browser, addons, and block lists. How is it supposed to function if it doesn’t do that?

First, we have it connecting to Mozilla’s location services, who then obviously learn your location.

Why ‘obviously’? How is connecting to that URL any different from another URL? A webserver gets your IP and rough location either way.

The tests are in a public github repo, it doesn’t seem like they’re hiding anything.

For some reason devs can’t wrap their head around cache being temporary.

How tf do you remember that lol, I’m always amazed by CLI focused people being able to remember so much!

My better way is just using Portainer, select some containers and hit the stop button.

It does feel a bit laggy on my lower powered laptop.

I don’t get it either, it seems horribly complex to use day to day.

I gave it a try, but what turns me off is the weird decentralization that’s sort of black box? Like I have a recovery phrase which I associate with blockchain stuff, and there’s a vague button that says “offload data to our backup node”. And then I seem to have an account with them? The settings mentions deleting an account which is weird, because I thought it was local/lan sync only.

Their website says “No server”, but in the settings on the app it says I’ve used xxMB out of 1GB of remote storage, where/what is that if there’s no server involved? Where is my data being uploaded to?

I can’t seem to find where it stores data in a standard format on my local filesystem, so if anytype shuts down how do I migrate? It looks like my local data is even encrypted for some reason??

Basically both on their website and in the app it feels like the concept is all over the place, it can’t decide if it’s local where you own your data, stored on a server somewhere, or some sort of weird blockchain decentralized thing where your data just might vanish one day.

For the app itself I can’t figure out how to get an editing/format tool bar like I have in onenote, to change font, size, headings, insert tables, and that sort of thing.

Navigation is also confusing, I created a new note (page?) and now I can only find it in “All Objects” which is just a giant mess of stuff, whereas I’m looking for something like a tab bar with my sections and pages organized in a tree or something like onenote does it.

Overall my impression is it’s very confusing to use and understand, with a lot going on in the UI but still missing basic editing tools and organization.
