Do you know anyone in real life that uses Lemmy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Several lemmings surprisingly.

Yup look at me wagglin my finger over here.

If I decide to put up with this type of attitude any further I'll go get a job in fast food. At least then I'd get paid.

Have fun with your gatekeeping.

Would you say your attitude and responses here drive inclusion or increase motivation to join opensource or improve things voluntarily?

Live usbs are great, but ive 100% had issues after install before on several distros. Arch of course being the worst. Live distros boots, install, boot loop... But that happened on popos too. Ive also seen other more minor issues like Bluetooth stops working after install despite it being a base install. Like literally install, reboot, and Bluetooth no longer works. Given this is on newer hardware, but it can be hella frustrating to go from a live boot that works to a fresh install that doesn't match the experience.

I don't think anyone is blaming volunteers. More so stating the obvious. If you're new to Linux, you cant be expected to know everything about it. You may not know that some hardware may not work well with Linux. You may not know secure boot sux with linux. You may not know arch is not the best intro to Linux but because arch based distros are recommended frequently for gaming you may try it first. Linux can have a steep learning curve, expecting everyone to RTFM and all the forum posts is unreasonable. Sometimes people just need to try and experience pain and frustration.

When I was a kid I heard the same type of bull shit spewed from even my mom. Someone in a wheel chair had some sort of disability, and I hear my mom say, god would heal them if they prayed more and stopped swearing so much. I think this was one of the things that had a huge impact in turning me away from god. Such petty and disgusting gossip, but the disabled person is the one god needs to forgive...

Here I thout this was just me... So many times have a read an entire page and when I go to turn the page I have no idea what I just read and end up rereading it all over.

Since Andy Yen's unfortunate comments, have any of you left Proton? And if so, what alternative did you choose? in c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
[–] Stowaway@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

I hadn't thought of that, might have to look into that. That would be great for new accounts. I basically only used proton pass to create aliases and stored it all in bitwarden anyway.

If you have proton pass you can generate random or semi random aliases. I don't believe there's a limit to this. Good to know on the tuta side though.

Plus mulvad doesn't do port forwarding. Or it didn't last time I used it.

My struggle is finding an alternative to nonesense email alias system proton provides. Tuta and everyone else seems ridiculously limited with aliases. Like, I'll use my own custom domain idgaf, just gimme infinite aliases...

Full Size Mechanical keyboard recommendations. (midwest.social)
 

Hi All,

I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard. Hoping for some advice. I used to have a Corsair K70 Pro, but unfortunately that no longer functions. I've been using a crappy dell keyboard from work and have finally been annoyed enough by it to buy a new keyboard.

I've considered going with another K70, but corsair doesn't give a shit about linux and I'm kicking windows outta my house. While I could emulate or build a vm, I'd rather just get a keyboard that doesn't make linux an afterthought if thought of at all. What I like about the K70 is that the keys aren't shrouded making it super easy to

Wants are:

  • 100% full keyboard
  • Ideally no shrouding around the switches, minor shrouding would be okay.
  • A passthrough USB port on the keyboard for a mouse, to minimize wires and simpliy cable management.
  • Hotswap switches
  • Full Linux support
  • Backlit (ideally RGB, but I"m not doing any fancy profiles, just a solid color)
  • Media keys nice, but I can live without them.
  • Ideally not much more than $200

I'd prefer prebuilt, but at most minimal soldering would be acceptable, as long as it's nothing too small, my soldering skills are an embarrassment.

I've looked at the following already.

Ducky All models I saw shrouded the switches. seem shrouded.

System76 Cost seems excessive and I don't really want a 96% keyboard.

DasKeyboard & Keychron The models pretty much all shroud the switches too much, or they're low form factor.

The DasKeyboard 5QS comes close, and I might just go with it if I don't have a better option, but it's got more shrouding around the switches than I like. It also doesn't seem to have a secondary USB port.

I just saw this as well. I really like the bigger one on the left, would just need to be a full keyboard, maybe an additional USB port on the back as well. https://lemmy.ml/post/10016605

Plex permission denied adding files to library. (midwest.social)
 

So I'm on plex scanning my library to get new videos added and they show up briefly then quickly disappear. So I looked into logs and plex is spitting out a boat load of permission denied logs.

Background: my plex is a vm in proxmox with its data in a cifs share stored on my truenas scale box. This has been working great for years.

I go take a look on my truenas scale dataset and sure enough, the acl is wonky.

I used to have plex as owner and group as well as permissions for several other users. Now the owner is polkitd which seems to be a service used in Linux for policy auth and permissions. Obviously I'm no Linux master, but i can fiddle.

Anyway the user I use to mount the share is no longer in the acl. Somehow it can still mount the share though?

So question, who the f is this polkitd, and who the hell do they think they are messing with my plex time?

More seriously, is there a reason polkitd would take ownership or modify an acl like this? Where would I look in logs for this?
