I’m unable to pair my Wacom tablet to my notebook via BT. I think I know the root cause of the issue which is the version of Bluez being 5.64 and the behavior of the issue is the same as I had on Fedora on my main PC few months back when I’ve tried to pair PS5 Dual Sense controller....
I think the point is the number of times someone is having such an issue, and those people show up to proclaim they’ve never had such problems as if it’s helpful. So, at least you can recognize it’s not.
Hy everyone, I have a PiHole instance running on my home server, and I changed my router (Fritz box) DNS in order to use my PiHole. Everything runs great....
Huh, I’ll definitely look into that. Both times I tried to route external pihole access, somehow other mystery services found it and it slowed to a crawl from getting absolutely pounded by requests not from me. Thanks for that tip!
Those proxies aren’t encrypted in any way, even if it’s one with user/pass authentication access. They’ll obfuscate your IP from other users, such as torrenters, but there’s a risk your ISP will still see unencrypted headers between you and the proxy.
Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now. I’ve probably gone down five or six different rabbit-holes of troubleshooting, GRUB command-line fun, reinstalling and updating the BIOS, trying and failing to...
I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…...
Depends on whether or not they signed up for monthly or annual, and many get it in November so things they order show up in time before the xmas postal hell.
Not really defending Amazon, but that’s not really shenanigans either. If you’re expecting 100% completely free shipping without prime, they’re going to wait to send it with a more cost efficient larger shipment to your region while prioritizing prime orders. Sometimes the distant warehouses are used even with prime because that’s where those items are, they don’t keep them stocked everywhere, especially when they process third party orders. I can easily expect to wait 2 weeks or more for something if I don’t pay for shipping.
I used to have an account at Demonoid but can’t for the life of me remember anything about it. Does anyone in this community still use it and could you provide an invite?
sorry, I have no idea. I’ve never had an account, only used it before accounts were required, then got locked out and keep missing the open reg windows. Assuming I have the right url, it’s demonoid.is
They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....
I don’t even own a steamdeck yet but most of my actual purchases are from Steam in preparation for the next big revision. Buy Steam cheap from keyshops, pirate GOG for backup.
If you don’t mind, can you shed light on any showstopping limitations for Tiny10? Everything I’ve read is really vague, except that you may need to provide your own drivers that normally are already included. Have you run into anything in particular for normal productivity and gaming? or other?
Hi there again, I’ve been experimenting with the new Tiny10 and Tiny11 in VMs, and have two questions if you still don’t mind.
First, with Tiny10, have you had trouble with the update KB5032189 - Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems? It always fails for me with reference 0x800f0831. I’ve searched about and all the explanations I can find have to do with not being able to contact the update server, etc, but all other updates will install. I thought I’d give it a few days in case something on MS’s side was being fixed or rolled back, but today I opened it and it downloaded a different security update and successfully installed, then errored on this same KB again. I’ve even downloaded the update file and tried a manual install with the same failure. Have you encountered this or figured out how to fix it? It happens on both the Tiny10 released earlier this year and the most recent one.
edit: I realize that maybe it’s just incompatible with Tiny10 due to what it is, and can just block it using the Show or Hide Updates Tool… but would appreciate verification if that’s the case.
Meanwhile, Tiny11 seems to download and install all updates successfully. Wondering if I should go with Tiny11 now.
Second, regarding the example link you provided showing how to get missing Windows Updates… I’m not sure I understand what to expect when running the command, and that may be because I’m not trying to update an old enough version of it, or something else, such as I just don’t know wtf is going on. So for Tiny10 from Feb/Mar, the build is 10.0.19041.3031, and for the most recent version the build is 10.0.19041.3324. I assume that for the earlier version I should be running the command for %s in (“%windir%servicingPackagesmicrosoft-windows-*-22h2-ekb*-package*~~10.0.19041.3031.mum”) do dism /online /add-package /packagepath:%s …it does something related to 4 files, and then doing a Windows Update does nothing. The .mum file versions don’t update to anything newer, but I’m not sure that’s what to expect anyway.
So could you explain what I should be seeing or expecting, and/or the proper circumstances this should be used?
I know that Thunder can filter the posts but only limited. It only hides the currently loaded ones and only on button press. You need to do it over and over. Is there an app that does it automatically?
I just installed SmartTubeNext on mine for ad free youtube and it turns out I can pair it with and cast from YouTube Revanced on my tablet, and it carries over all the skips for SponsorBlock as well. Don’t even have to be logged in to SmartTube, works fine with the default anon view. You don’t even have to keep them connected. Once SmartTube receives a playlist, you can disconnect the cast and SponsorBlock sections still work.
At this point all I have on it is Kodi, Twitch, SmartTubeNext, the free Roku app for old tv series, and RetroArch for pre-N64 games.(edit: it may very well play n64 games etc as well, it’s more an issue of storage space for me. My Kodi library is pretty big.)
Also, I’ve read through the post several times, and it doesn’t mention anonymous quotas or anything like that. It’s just one long promo for what VIP accounts get over regular accounts.
Further, your quoted quotas are wrong, as the screenshot I provided shows 10 per day for anonymous accounts.
If you’re going to shame people for reading comprehension, you should probably read the details yourself a bit closer.
I can only conclude that everyone upvoting you didn’t bother to read the post either.
Personally, I keep the redundant backup as cold storage to minimize loss. Three 8TB content or archival drives that are always attached via USB but not powered until needed, plus another on NAS for streaming, and two more 8TB each for double backup that are only turned on when I want to do a sync. So the drives get minimal wear, and whenever a primary dies, the backups get promoted and a new one is bought to be third in line. I have lost too much data in the past. As well as I can manage, never ever again.
I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?
Absolutely, this thing has been sitting around for ages because it was barely powerful enough for WindowsXP when it first came out. Now has a new purpose!

edit: Nvm previous result, I got the same result OP did with Firefox and Safari, I realized I was testing on my wifi with a pihole… switched to mobile network only and protection dropped to partial.
