I’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.

Flowery!

Or Ted. You can call the dish Ted, if you want.

Synthead,

Came here to say this. fwupd is so good, it’s almost magic, and good vendors will actually support it themselves.

How to solve this boot error message? (lemmy.world)

I’m on debian 11, this error doesn’t show up every time, but once it appear I need more that one reboot and it will fix automatically without doing nothing, don’t know the reason why (just read that can be kernel dependent). What I want to avoid is that maybe it’s just a warning of somethink that will cause a pc break in...

Synthead,

I wouldn’t be quick to assume that this means a failing disk. There would probably be more sporadic issues if this were the case.

[Solved] BSOD on Windows VM after update

Hello everyone! I hope to be posting in the correct place, if not please tell me and I’ll delete this. I have a W11 VM on my EndeavourOS KDE laptop that I use because of some software I need for university that does not run under wine (LabVIEW and Keil uVision). The VM is running on virt-manager (QEMU KVM) using the virtio...

Synthead,

Why search for error codes when your operating system has every opportunity to tell you what’s wrong?

Synthead,

My least favorite thing about Windows, above all things, is that it’s extremely difficult to discover what’s wrong with it. People just try random things until it works in most cases.

I think Docker is a tool, and it depends on how you implement said tool. You can use Docker in ways that make your infra more complicated, less efficient, and more bloated with little benefit, if not a loss of benefits. You can also use it in a way that promotes high uptime, fail-overs, responsible upgrades, etc. Just “Docker” as-is does not solve problems or introduce problems. It’s how you use it.

Lots of people see Docker as the “just buy a Mac” of infra. It doesn’t make all your issues magically go away. Me, personally, I have a good understanding of what my OS is doing, and what software generally needs to run well. So for personal stuff where downtime for upgrades means that I, myself, can’t use a service while it’s upgrading, I don’t see much benefit for Docker. I’m happy to solve problems if I run into them, also.

However, in high-uptime environments, I would probably set up a k8s environment with heavy use of Docker. I’d implement integration tests with new images and ensure that regressions aren’t being introduced as things go out with a CI/CD pipeline. I’d leverage k8s to do A-B upgrades for zero downtime deploys, and depending on my needs, I might use an elastic stack.

So personally, my use of Docker would be for responsible shipping and deploys. Docker or not, I still have an underlying Linux OS to solve problems for; they’re just housed inside a container. It could be argued that you could use a first-party upstream Docker image for less friction, but in my experience, I eventually want to tweak things, and I would rather roll my own images.

For SoC boards, resources are already at a premium, so I prefer to run on metal for most of my personal services. I understand that we have very large SoC boards that we can use now, but I still like to take a simpler, minimalist approach with little bloat. Plus, it’s easier to keep track of things with systemd services and logs anyway, since it uniformly works the way it should.

Just my $0.02. I know plenty of folks would think differently, and I encourage that. Just do what gives you the most success in the end 👍

Synthead,

To those that didn’t read this as dark humor: coolant tastes sweet, and it’s poisonous. Your animals will want to drink it, and it will kill them.

Synthead,

I haven’t had any issues with new hardware, either.

Synthead,

Every wireless adapter I’ve used in Linux for the last 10 years has worked flawlessly.

Synthead,

It was trying to is, then it isn’ted. Help?

Some of these tips are dangerous. You generally don’t want cause insensitivity in your shell. Also, ls should never be used as a subshell to find files as a part of commands.

Synthead,

All you need is the TOTP secret, and it will generate OTPs. If you enter the secret in another TOTP app, you’ll also get OTPs. Here’s a Ruby lib that will render OTPs from a secret, for example: github.com/mdp/rotp

For an Android TOTP tool, I like FreeOTP+. You can even use it for Steam OTPs.

Synthead,

Interesting. Not much of a package manager, then 🤔

Synthead,

As an Arch user, why do people care what the default packages are?

    What's the point of buying new phones every years?

    Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

    Synthead,

    Ain’t it a shame that you’re talking about tossing a phone for an $8 battery?

    Synthead,

    If the battery greatly damages itself by charging past 80%, then the device should be aware of that and accommodate. I should never have to set an alarm to unplug my phone in fear of destroying it. This isn’t the 90s, where we tried to avoid over-charging Ni-Cd batteries. Making it work for the lowest common denominator is the only way to do it.

    If, you know, you’re a company that doesn’t want your customers to buy more of your stuff. Yay e-waste.
