I'm an idiot (arm)

So I’ve been banging my head against the wall for about half an hour trying to install the rar package from the multiverse repository on an Ubuntu 23.10 22.04 vm I have running on my m1 mac mini. I finally ended up on pkgs.org and searched up rar to see if I could download it directly instead of using apt....

SheeEttin,

Have you tried building it?

SheeEttin,

I use Boost and I like it. But I gave the dev the few bucks for ad-free.

If there’s a malicious ad, report it to the dev. I’m pretty sure they can ban it.

linux mint became super slow

so im not sure if this is update related or storage related. somewhere online told me to check ‘page faults’ and theyre at 16998 MINFL and 114 MAJFL. i ran out of storage on my ssd so i clesred half of it by deleting timeshift snapshots (and disabled it). it’s still running like a slug. once an application is open, it’s...

SheeEttin,

I would also look at the SMART data and run a test.

SheeEttin,

Event log, probably application and security logs. I think there’s a separate RDP log in the event viewer tree too, but I’m not sure if it’s used.

SheeEttin,

What’s in the log on the Windows side?

SheeEttin,

Does Linus still maintain that much control over it? I feel like I read something a few years ago about him starting to step back.

Upgrade vs Reinstall

I’m a generalist SysAdmin. I use Linux when necessary or convenient. I find that when I need to upgrade a specific solution it’s often easier to just spin up an entirely new instance and start from scratch. Is this normal or am I doing it wrong? For instance, this morning I’m looking at a Linux VM whose only task is to run...

SheeEttin,

No, it’s the same on the Windows side. Personally I like to build a new one in parallel, then migrate. I do plenty of upgrades on desktops, but I don’t think I’ve ever done one on a server (except stuff like CentOS 7 to 8 where it’s not really that significant of a change).

Migration is the safe option, but if it’s a huge pain to migrate, I might do the in-place upgrade with a rollback plan ready if it really goes poorly.

The Irish government wants to pass a law that could see you or your loved ones jailed for possession of memes, cartoons or any content that could be deemed "hateful".

The Bill includes no definition of hate and is wide open to abuse by bad actors. Defend free speech – say no to this legislation, and any legislation of is kind… Anywhere!...

TIFU by rebooting before rebuilding my initfs

I had a super fast but small SSD and didn’t know what to do with it, so I was playing with caching slow spinning LVM drives. It worked pretty good, but I got interrupted and came back a few weeks later to upgrade the OS. I forgot about the caching LVM, updated the packages in preparation for the OS upgrade, then rebooted. The...

SheeEttin,

Aren’t you supposed to add modules by putting them in some config file so they get added automatically?

Fixing your problem should also be achievable from single-user/rescue mode too, no need for a rescue disk.

SheeEttin,

I’m not sure what this guy is smoking, but I don’t want any. He talks about licenses being different from contracts, but there isn’t any significant difference. He talks about developers getting paid instead of releasing their work for free, but there’s nothing stopping anyone from doing this right now. Plenty of products offer business licenses separate from their copyleft licenses. Anyone who releases their software under GPL or whatever chooses to do that, because that’s what they want to do. If they wanted to make it only source-available, or to sell source access, they would have.

SheeEttin,

Probably, but exactly what you do would depend on your exact model. I would get the technical service manual for your vehicle, find the part about replacing that module, and follow the directions to remove it.

SheeEttin,

Get experience. Get the RHCSA cert or something.

Can this be replicated with opensource software?[p2p file transfer over thunderbolt, and extremely low latency Video and game streaming (no encoding)] (www.youtube.com)

Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don’t have 10K lying around for specialty...

SheeEttin,

USB easy transfer cables? Sure, looks like they just present a point to point network, so you can do whatever you want over that link.

I'm getting doxxed by a troll

I got doxxed by a troll on a forum , the troll posted my real full name and school including my grade level , pics of a Facebook account which the troll thinks it’s me but isn’t because I don’t have any mainstream socials. The troll keeps pasting my name and pics from the Facebook profile everywhere on the forum, what do I...

SheeEttin,

Also consider filing a police report for harassment. I don’t expect anything will happen from that alone, but it starts a paper trail.

SheeEttin,

With Ubuntu Pro. I’ll stick with Alma, thanks.

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

SheeEttin,

Why? Under Windows or Mac OS too, there’s always something that doesn’t quite work right.

SheeEttin,

Can you record the sound? I’ve never heard of a power supply having any kind of noisemaker. It’s probably just electrical interference or coil whine or something, where the waveform happens to produce that periodic sound. (You might even look around and find a nearby device changing its power draw with the same periodicity.)
