Tippon, to asklemmy in What are some small things we should change about the human body?

Yes, but with a tweak.

Being able to tell how much food you need in advance would be better, so that instead of thinking that you’re really hungry and piling your plate, you only buy or prepare as much food as you need. That would cut down on food waste too.

Never mind snoring, imagine how bad a cold would be!

Tippon, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?

Banned from every other instance. Constant spam posting should be a bannable offence

Tippon, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?

More than that, they should be banned

Tippon, to comicstrips in "Kids these days" by Extra Fabulous Comics

The time between pop up ads / excessive ads and ad blockers being introduced wasn’t that long. You’d get some annoying banner ads, but the intrusive ones were quickly blocked.

Tippon, to privacy in How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?

They just hijack the link that someone else posts and replace it with an entirely new tracking link with a l.facebook.com domain

This bit confused me. I thought OP meant that it was the same link every time. The downside of text based forums like this - it removes a lot of nuance and leaves room for misunderstanding.

So this isn’t Facebook on every occasion then, it’s related to the site you’re visiting? If so, the extension will hopefully fix it :)

That sounds more like malware then. Links from Twitter shouldn’t have any Facebook tracking info.

Check your browser for any extensions that you don’t recognise, and if you’re on Windows, download and run the free version of Malwarebytes.

Vanilla.

The only reason I didn’t mention it is because it’s for copying links, whereas the extension should do it while opening, without needing to copy it first.

Tippon, (edited ) to privacy in How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?

There’s an extension for Firefox and maybe Chrome that should help. I think it’s called ClearURL, or something similar. It removes the trackers from the ends of URLs

EDIT: That’s assuming that it’s a legitimate tracking URL, and not something that’s been added by malware.

Tippon, to linux in Need some help with Xubuntu networking please.

I couldn’t see anything obvious, but I noticed something else

I noticed last night that the ethernet adapters changed, and the static profiles didn’t update to match. The adapters were named something like enp6so, but used to be enp2so, for example.

The DHCP profiles matched the new device names, and the static profiles were stuck on the old names.

Changing the static profiles to match the updated device names and deleting the DHCP profiles seems to have worked for now, but I don’t know why they changed in the first place.

I thought that might have been it. The DHCP profiles didn’t exist last time I looked, but the static address profiles were set to auto start.

Tippon, to linux in linux phone with external camera?

I mean, directly “mounting” the camera to the phone and shooting with the phone.

This is pretty standard on most decent cameras, although it’s usually used with the camera and phone separate. Photographers will set up a a camera on a tripod and use a phone or laptop to control it remotely. It can be used to control multiple cameras.

The youtube and tiktok generation will mount the phone to the top of the camera, usually using the flash mount, and face it forwards. This way they can see the screen while they’re facing the camera, and be able to see the framing of the shot while they’re shooting.

The biggest problem you’ll find is that the phone apps are designed for Android and Apple, or maybe Windows Phone. I haven’t used a Linux phone, so I don’t know if they run their own apps, or if they run Linux programs. If they run Linux programs, then it’s just a case of finding one that controls your specific camera, and has the controls that you want.

Tippon, to linux in Need some help with Xubuntu networking please.

Thanks, I’ll try that tonight and see how it’s set up.

P.S. Apologies for the slow reply, I accidentally switched accounts and didn’t see the replies here.

Apologies for the slow reply, I accidentally switched accounts on here without realising >.<

Have you disabled auto start in the DHCP profile?

I have no idea. That’s a setting that I didn’t know existed until now. I’ll have a look tonight and see if I can find it.

The power here is usually fine, but a transformer blew during the storm, and the one I’m on apparently took some of the strain.
