Wifi stopped showing in linux mint (kbin.social)

Yesterday night I had a problem with a usb port and the touch pad not working, I restarted the system a few times and switched back and forth with windows (which is installed on a different drive), they didn't work even there.After a few restarts the usbport and the touch pad came back to life, but the wifi stopped working. When...

Son of a bitch. Instead of “turning shit the fuck off”, is windows putting the wifi card into some sort of eternal WoL mode when it shuts down? And the wifi card isn’t resetting at boot time (or honoring a reset command) to give the linux drivers a known starting state?

Make Inkscape installed through Flatpak callable in the terminal as 'inkscape'?

I have a Python-package that calls Inkscape as part of a conversion process. I have it installed, but through Flatpak. This means that calling inkscape does not work in the terminal, but rather flatpak run org.inkscape.Inkscape. I need the package to be able to call it as inkscape....

A good argument against DOS 2.0 adding directories

I handle it more like ln -s /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.inkscape.Inkscape ~/.local/bin/inkscape

.local/bin is a directory that you may have to make, but your shell’s startup scripts should automatically add it to the PATH after that.

Kudos to whoever found the one frame out of a hundred thousand where Fishburne isn’t looking like a total badass.

The horrible part is it was. Your other choice was ext2, which wasted so many lifetimes with its hours long fsck times. Reiserfs was a cut above the rest, we would all be using it today if it weren’t for that one teensy-weensy legal issue.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

The better way is to fix Windows to use a sensible system time. wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_time#UTC_in_Micro…

The idea worked out pretty well in “To every you I’ve loved before” and “To me, the one who loved you”.

I somehow doubt Hallmark did quite as good a job of it.

Were they marvels, though? Itanium made good business sense in that it would cut AMD out of the market, but it was shit technology. Itanium would have also done a good job of cutting GCC out of the compiler market, which is great news for ICC. If everybody had to buy Intel compilers, boy that would have changed the software market.

You shouldn’t be making the compiler guess at conditions-on-the-ground that the CPU should be inferring itself, such as “which data dependencies are in cache and could be running OOO right now?”. You shouldn’t be making the compiler spend instructions and memory bandwidth describing this stuff. You shouldn’t be making code that works well on exactly one generation of CPU, one pipeline design, and is trash on the next generation. Once upon a time, MIPS saved a few gates by making three “delay slots” part of the ISA, and that became an albatross as soon as they weren’t a three stage pipeline. Itanium is all about making that kind of design decision everywhere. Itanium is the Microsoft Word of ISAs, where the spec is “whatever my implementation does is the correct thing”

The immediate failure of the Itanium was the promise that “you are buying a new, more expensive system that runs your current x86 code worse”, and the expectation was that every generation of Itanium would go like that. Just as your software starts getting good, here comes the new chip that will someday make stuff faster, but you will never see that until just about the end of that product cycle.

You can get an N100 mini system for about $150. Pay a little more to get (the intel enforced maximum) 16GB mem. I have a Beelink Mini S and it’s perfectly fine.

Pringles are like gelatin sheets that melt-in-your-mouth into a sad version of instant mashed potato flakes.

Walmart has a surprisingly good house-brand of crinkle cut. Aldi has a lot of fine or great or occasionally horrifying chips (try the bratwurst). Utz makes a lot of good chips. Middleswarth, ohh that’s the God of chips.

There are so many better potato products that aren’t made of pressed potato eyebuds and anuses. There is no excuse for putting up with Pringles.

It may be modular, but many OEMs have the BIOS block out any other component you put in there. Neat, huh?

Daniel Jackson has died, ascended to a higher plane, descended back to the realm of flesh (where did his new body come from?), and repeated more times than anybody can count.

O’Niell has had a few scuffs, but Daniel is the regular Kenny of the whole show.
