I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.
I am also dumb and worthless.
My laptop is HP 255 G7 running Manjaro and Linux Mint.
I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.

Reading this on smartphone in browser with desktop mode permanently enabled (and increased dp beyond smallest display size limit in dev settings).

I just wish it was 16:9. These ultrawide aspect ratios are terrible for a phone. Hell, I just want something like those old phablets.
My first “smartphone” was a 7" tablet with SIM card. Perhaps I should just try something like that, but tablets tend to be underpowered.

Software Defined Radio, Ham Radio, RF Electronics, amateur satellites and Meshtastic.

The only community I am (more than) fully satisfied with here is Linux.

Oh, but also communities like askdentists, psoriasis, etc. Those were pretty helpful on Reddit.

Realistically, 40 - 50.

But I am also tempted to say 20. I could be the most talented baby ever.

No, no, it can only be 1997, logically.

The Y2038 problem.

It’s some fridge+freezer combo from Electrolux.

It still technically works, it’s just that the door doesn’t close properly, making it kinda useless. It was only shut off due to high temp alarm, which I am surprised took so long to turn on as there was some gap in the doors all the time.

My mom didn’t defrost the freezer for ages. It’s finally dead, but it took 2 hours just for the doors to unfreeze from the rest so I could open them.
See for yourself:

So perhaps a similar issue.

Fr*nce?

I will keep the magnets if I ever get into this in the future, but not the platters. I’ll just safely destroy them and dispose of them.

So far I only had 3 laptops and no desktops. I had 0 HDD failures, since I only ever had 3 of them so far.
The oldest one is more than 17 years old 80GB 2.5" Fujitsu HDD.

Oh, I see. They even stopped sponsoring Linux Mint, which is how I found SMT.

Edit: They used to be a gold sponsor: web.archive.org/web/…/sponsors.php
Which means $1,000/month.

Privacy Concerns on Lemmy: A Call for More User Control (github.com)

I’ve been grappling with a concern that I believe many of us share: the lack of privacy controls on Lemmy. As it stands, our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone who cares to look. I don’t even care about privacy all that much, but this level of transparency feels to me akin to sharing my...

Sup. And all this data would still be federating, it has to be. That just means that some data-collecting company could make a fake instance and get everything together. Or someone could just fork it back.

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t even get to choose what I wear, so no.

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, I am 17 which means I still have to live with parents and among other issues my mom doesn’t allow me to have access to my clothes. So, if I want some, I have to ask. In the end, I can get fresh underwear daily, but the rest only weekly, which isn’t exactly optimal.

Oh, and we don’t have a functional washing machine for years, so it’s not like I could just keep some of my clothes away from her.

And shoutout for this one too: github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce

Otherwise I wouldn’t have a functional WiFi card either.

At least it’s recognizable. Windows 12 will probably be just a single blue square.

Also mix some plum jam into the spaghetti.

I haven’t updated my Manjaro install for past 2 months. Things are going to be crazy.

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I just updated. No issues this time. I just had to re-compile dump1090 and WSJT-X, but that’s expected. Dependencies.

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, why would I?

The only problem is, I’ll have no idea how the hell I was just able to time travel.
Anyone joining me?

echo ‘while true; do sl; done’ >> ~/.bashrc

Why though?

If you want any more privacy, just download Wikipedia Maxi (EN) package from kiwix.org (a bit over 100GB) and self-host a kiwix server.

zial, lemmy mi nedovoli nahrat video tak je tu link na reddit prispevok, inak to asi nejde.

Väčšina inštancí nepodporuje nahrávanie videí, ale viem že niektoré túto možnosť pridali.
Je však možné do URL vložiť link samotného videa, napríklad z Imgur. (i.imgur.com/kOnEf5O.mp4)

Tiež je možné embedovať video do komentára: ![]([https://i.imgur.com/kOnEf5O.mp4)
