redcalcium,

It’s very limited, but you can use Gimp or Inkscape to edit a pdf in a pinch. IIRC gimp can’t edit existing text in pdf, but inkscape can.

I hope someday we'll find a way to pirated a car (lemmy.world)

In the end, the KIA car company made its cars into subscription models, I really hate this because in the end the car we buy with our own money doesn’t feel like it belongs to us. Should we finally buy an old school car ? so as not to be affected by this subscription models or is there a way to crack the software installed in...

redcalcium,

The care package with roadside assistance seems reasonable, though your insurance usually already cover road assistance. The plus package is insane though, they charge that much just to enable remote start via their app?

redcalcium,

Meanwhile, nvidia 545 for linux brings a few more bugs…

redcalcium,

The fluoride concentration in tap water is like 0.7mg/l. Toxic dose is 60 mg/kg, but 0.2 mg/kg is enough to cause some gastrointestinal discomfort. If I chug 16 liters of tap waters after I brushed my teeth I’ll have some gastrointestinal discomfort from fluoride but I’ll probably die from water poisoning first.

SingleFile extension can save a web page into a single html file where all media are neatly inlined inside the file. You’ll have to do this manually on each page though, so it’s not ideal for saving the whole website.

If you’re comfortable running commands in terminal, you can use SingleFile CLI to crawl the whole website, e.g.: single-file https://www.wikipedia.org --crawl-links=true --crawl-inner-links-only=true --crawl-max-depth=1 --crawl-rewrite-rule=“^(.*)\?.*$ $1”

Something moves where it shouldn’t? Apply tapes.

Something doesn’t move where it should? Apply WD-40.

Personally, I think your choice of desktop environment have more impact to your day-to-day experience than your distro choice. If you feel at home with windows-like UI, try KDE Plasma. If you like minimalistic mac-like interface, then try Gnome.

If you have a Home Assistant instance, adding a webcam and accessing it from outside of your home network is quite easy: home-assistant.io/…/usb-webcams-and-home-assistan…

Home Assistant is a very useful platform to have around if you have a handful of IoT devices at home.

redcalcium,

Chance that your Ubuntu version already supports OpenVPN and wireguard (check your settings -> network). If so, just download wireguard/OpenVPN config files from mullvad: mullvad.net/account/openvpn-config?platform=linux

redcalcium,

Every 10 years, a new abstraction layer will be added to the system. I wonder how an average linux desktop would look like under the hood in 100 years.

redcalcium,

Are you living in a UTC -6.5 Timezone?

glibc: 😑🤚

musl: 😌👉 (unless you’re a python programmer)

redcalcium,

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.

redcalcium,

It was a death sentence back then, but now I bet those with a threadripper with huge RAM can tank it until it hit ulimit.

redcalcium,

The approximately equal amount of upvotes and downvotes this comment received pretty much sums up the entire gif wars.

God might got the credit, but the surgeon got the insurance money.

No! If capitalism gone, my 0.0000000001% chance of becoming a billionaire would be gone as well!

Hedgehog’s spine, anteater’s snout: Long-lost mammal rediscovered in Indonesia (www.cnn.com)

Scientists have rediscovered a long-lost species of mammal described as having the spines of a hedgehog, the snout of an anteater and the feet of a mole, in Indonesia’s Cyclops Mountains more than 60 years after it was last recorded....

Kempton’s team survived an earthquake, malaria and even a leech attached to an eyeball during their trip.

Yep, just your average Papua forest exploration experience.

redcalcium,

People behind cgnat is probably less likely to seed and thus less likely to get their IP address logged by these outfits. That’s just my pet theory though, not sure how to confirm it. Anyone ever heard of someone behind cgnat and still got the love letter?

redcalcium,

How do you curate your mastodon feed? How do you find interesting people to follow? I haven’t created a mastodon account yet because I honestly not sure how to do this.

redcalcium,

My desktop crashed three times so far after updating gnome, linux kernel and nvidia driver two days ago. Not sure who’s the culprit, but I’ll blame nvidia by default.

redcalcium,

What’s with the US funding resistance groups only to have those groups turn their back on US when they finally got in power?

redcalcium,

Shenanigan like this was one of the main driving force to push website operators to use https by default. The other driving forces are the computational cost of serving https got significantly cheaper thanks to modern CPU with accelerated cryptography instructions support, and letsencrypt providing free TLS certificate to everyone.

After beating one corona, we get treated with another corona.
