Search engines funded by ads have this perverse incentive to not give you the best possible results (or at least stop trying so hard to improve their results) so you search more (and thus served more ads). This may not be true for the underdogs (because they’re trying to gain marketshare) but seems to be especially true for Google.
Basically a bunch of toll roads where you pay to use them, right? But paying every time you use the road will get expensive quick, so road companies will offer subscriptions so you can save money if you frequently use their roads. Some companies will bundle subscriptions from many road companies together so you’ll only pay for one subscription instead of dozens. They might even offer discount if you use yearly subscription. Viola! Now you have road tax except paid to private companies.
As its name suggests, LogoFAIL involves logos, specifically those of the hardware seller that are displayed on the device screen early in the boot process, while the UEFI is still running.
Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What’s the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine....
Sometimes I use Steam Remote Play to access my personal linux desktop remotely. It’s actually works pretty great and can automatically reduce stream quality to match your current bandwidth. It also has a lot less input latency than VNC or RDP, though it consumes a lot more bandwidth.
I currently have a PC running Windows 11 that my S/O and I use multi-seated with Aster Multiseat. However, we’re both equally sick of Windows and are interested in switching to Linux....
By multiseat, do you mean allowing two people to use your Linux PC at the same time, using a separate monitor and keyboard/mouse, as of they’re on a separate computer? You can do this without installing additional software, though you must configure the seat from command line:
Wayland seems to support multiseat but I can’t seem to find any documentation or tutorial save for an article on phoronix: www.phoronix.com/news/MTM4MzA
Is it possible to isolate applications per user?
Each user with have their own login session, so ther application processes should be separate from each other.

You can decide yourself if the data in that disk is more valuable than the price of a new disk to store the backup image. If it’s not that valuable I guess you can one-shot it.
Can you recommend a Bluetooth dongle that support s version 5.3, not too terribly expensive and available in Europe? Preferably works out of the box on Ubuntu LTS, but compiling my own kernel is also acceptable....
I’m pretty sure you can use aptx codecs using a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle and pipewire/bluez5. Just be aware when using them for gaming, if the game is cpu-bound and starved the system out of CPU time, the bluetooth audio might start to stutter. A Bluetooth audio dongle never stutter because they have their own independent Bluetooth stack, but they’re about 10x more expensive than a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle (~$50) and can only be used for audio only.
Actually I haven’t been able to get Bluetooth 5 dongles to work on Linux. I only have success with Bluetooth 4 dongles.
What are you going to use the Bluetooth dongle for? Connecting Bluetooth peripherals, or headphones? If it’s exclusively for Bluetooth headphones, using a Bluetooth audio dongle (which is detected as a USB audio device in Linux) works much better than using the Bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle for audio purpose because you can use low latency aptx codex and Bluetooth 5 without messing with random drivers from some github repos
I recently was gifted a raspberry pi 5 and was looking at domains to buy to host my own instance. What happens to my instance if the domain expires?...
I don’t think you can change your lemmy instance’s domain yet. Afaik there is no official way to do it. FMHY lost their domain (they are using a free domain and lost it) and was attempting to switch to a new domain for their instance and developing a tool to migrate to a new domain, but somehow decided to start fresh and discard their old data instead. No idea what happen with the migration tool they were working on (is it actually working? did they actually released the code?), so save yourself some headache and make sure to never lost your domain, which means don’t use free domain because that domain isn’t actually yours and can be yanked without any notice.
Instead of forwarding ha.yourdomain.com to 192.168.178.214 (which I assume is the lan ip address for your machine), you should forward it to a hostname called homeassistant (which is the hostname for the home assistant instance inside your docker compose network).
Don’t wanna spend money to upgrade the closet junk because that’s where retired stuff from other devices ended up. Eventually an old SSD would ended up there though.
Lemmy’s current donation drive is almost reaching 1/3 of their recurring donation goal. If the goal is reached, they’ll be able to fund three full time developers. I encourage anyone who can spare ~$10/mo to check the donation page: join-lemmy.org/donate
Recently I moved my instance to a cheaper host and use the money I saved for recurring donation to Lemmy. Heck, I probably should host it on my closet for free and donate the money used for renting the VPS but my HDD is so loud it drove me crazy, it’s clicking non-stop when I host a Lemmy instance there

On Linux, there is no reason to use 3 characters extension as the max path length is 4096 characters, so I’ll just use the most descriptive filename and extension. I can see the need to use the shortest extension possible on windows though with its limited 256 max path length.
