I believe the debate is if it was actually a documentary or a propaganda peice from Hamas called a documentary. Seems official sources are contradicting at the moment, and regardless of your side and the horrific things going on there, fact should be reported as fact. The BBC may know something we don't, or can't prove origin, and the Telegraph seem to be more specific.

Yup! It wasn't too bad because of the way the land slopes and some driftwood blocking the wind. It was also a pretty calm night and my partner turns into a furnace when she sleeps.

Random road in the Olympics, hit the coast, walk north, walk north some more 😉

Were you by chance running a proxy, even on localhost? Here's a good description of that issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29539106

That thread also mentions the Windows 95 requirement for randomization on mouse movement. A page you visited regularly may have been using this.

 

Since I agree with @Cirelo@lemmy.world, I will contribute, too. I however, love the snow and ice for camping, hiking, backpacking, whatever.

This was taken on the coast after backpacking through the Olympics in Washington State.

My partner: "Yeaaaaaa boiiiiiieeeeeee"

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 3 hours ago

I just made the switch for a few reasons.

For background, I was a Lifetime Plex Pass user since it launched, created the POC exploit for token theft (a couple of months before they implemented SSL), and built a clustering/sync application (a few months before they released sync, patterns much?).

I did not think Jellyfin was up to task a few years ago. It is now. All the missing features like themed visuals and audio, chapters, thumbnails on seek, all exist now.

Why I switched:

  • API: I have scripts that do different things with different media and they were super easy to recreate with the API. An example would be moving ytdlp videos from my Youtube Watch Later folder to a deletion folder if they've been watched.
  • LDAP: I now have user control via my Samba AD.
  • Privacy: I never wanted my media list stored with a third party to begin with.
  • Plugins: I have a library I tag with filenames, like ==Tag--Tag==filename.ext. It took me a half day to make a Jellyfin plugin that converts these to Genres. It was a nightmare of DB hacking to do it in Plex. Not to mention there are waaaay more existing plugins that are supported. Jellyfin is where this happens now, not Plex.
  • Fine grain control: Transcoding settings, bandwidth settings, etc are are open and transparent.

Yup, Dev replied in another comment and updated it.

Never take advice from internet strangers. But it nonetheless will be given, so here goes.

What's that, no presents in that?

Tell your partner your relationship will not last without change, and that you want to have small, short conversations with takeaway actions more regularly. My guess is that's the truth, and communication, even a little, can help tremendously when both parties engage.

Oh look, communication, but, no presents?

Saying your relationship will fail and end bluntly will make them scared of that actually happening, because they most likely currently feel secure enough in the relationship to ignore your needs. This is common unfortunately, often born of time and repetitiveness.

Oh no.. Still no presents and we're close to halfway through.

Make sure they ubderstand that conversation doesn't have to he daunting (that will scare then), but simple and easy single topics at a time. The first few may be longer, but they will get shorter, and tell them that you are open to talking to someone together if they feel it is warranted or have trouble having those conversations on their own (that alone may spur them to engage).

Oh crap, more about conversation.

Peppering in positive commentary or actions, like what you enjoy from them (especially what they do for you) and positive actions (like planning a weekend away or a night out) can also help take the strain out of the conversations, too.

Hmm, ways to make conversation more comfortable, but presents aren't it.

Sorry you are going through this, mental and/or emotional dissatisfaction in a relationship is rough, but assuming you really want to work through it, it is possible to get brick walls to move.

And affirmation.

Reading comprehension is hard, I guess.

Them:

Nothing happened

Me:

  • Gives advice that has nothing to do with presents.

You:

no to whatever is going on with saying they need presents on valentines.

You just went on a tirade because you misread comments. Hope you had fun.

Second one in the video on the page I linked in my comment.

Thats seems similar to what I'm talking about. Like the second one in the video on the page I linked.

US can openers. In other countries, they cut the sides of the can not the top, so the lid has no chance of falling in while dulling the edges. It also allows them to be much smaller and easier to use.

Hey all,

I'm de-googling, and while OctoApp (to control OctoPrint) is open source (https://gitlab.com/realoctoapp/octoapp), there are no APKs in the releases like the README says. I can't report this as an issue because that's turned off on GutLab, so does anyone know of any other way it is distributed outside of thr Play Store?

Thanks.

 

Hi all,

Working through some things like a Will (I am fine, just normal life planning), and debating on methods for digital management when I do die.

I run a lot of self-hosted services for family and friends, all on secured servers with ZFS and on/off site backups. Key ingredient is Vaultwarden for password management.

I'd like to put something in place so that encryption keys, some docs, and key passwords are released to a tech savvy friend. Anyone know of existing solutions for this?

Requirements of:

  • Not providing keys to a third-party beforehand
  • Not forgeable to open
  • If possible, no "weekly press a button"

I'm thinking some kind of key pair where my friend has the private key and the public key is provided to a family member, and when activated a timer starts where I could cancel the release.

 

Hi all,

About to go full no-Google, but am missing one app alternative. This is URL Forwarder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daverix.urlforward

It allows users to share to it like a bookmarklet. Anyone know of something else that does this?

An example use case would be browsing in your Lemmy app and sharing the post URL to another webpage.

 

So I haven't run a custom ROM for a long time and I'm thinking of trying out GrapheneOS. Before I do, is there a modern way to take a full disk image of a stock Pixel 8? The intent would be to factory restore to where I am in this moment if need be.

 

I use Ollama with continue.dev in code-server, and I wanted a way to hit Cntrl-Shift-Alt-T to get a "top" of sorts that would show CPU, IO, GPU, loaded models, and logs, all in one place quickly.

Set up the below screenrc file and created the shortcut above in Debian. Tab switches between CPU and IO, and Cntrl-a q quits all screens and closes the Gnome shell.

Screenrc:

termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
startup_message off
defscrollback 10000

bind q eval "kill" "quit"
caption always "%{= rw}%-w%{= KW}%n %t%{-}%+w"
defbce on

# Start htop and focus
screen -t "HTop" htop
focus

# Split horizontally to put nvtop under htop
split
focus
screen -t "NVTop" nvtop

# Split vertically to put ollama next to nvtop
split -v
focus
screen -t "Ollama PS" watch -n5 'docker exec -ti ai-ollama ollama ps'

# Split horizontally to put logs underneath ps
split
focus
screen -t "Ollama logs" bash -c "docker logs -f --tail 100 ai-ollama | grep -Ev '\"/api/ps\"|\"/\"'"

# Resize PS, then get back to logs
focus up
resize -v 6
focus down

# Get back to htop
focus

The atop script that runs with Cntrl-Alt-Shift-T:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

if [ "${1}" = "new" ]; then
    gnome-terminal --geometry=200x50+0+0 --maximize -- /data/system/bin/atop
else
    screen -c /data/system/setup/common/screenrc-status
fi

Happy to share my htop config as well if anyone wants it.

 

Hey all,

Anyone familiar with the state of Raptor Lake performance + efficiency cores in Linux? I'm specifically curious about how the kernel balances things when running multiple containers (without pinned CPUs)

Thanks!

 

Trying to figure out if there is a way to do this without zfs sending a ton of data. I have:

  • s/test1, inside it are folders:
    • folder1
    • folder2

I have this pool backed up remotely by sending snapshots.

I'd like to split this up into:

  • s/test1, inside is folder:
    • folder1
  • s/test2, inside is folder:
    • folder2

I'm trying to figure out if there is some combination of clone and promote that would limit the amount of data needed to be sent over the network.

Or maybe there is some record/replay method I could do on snapshots that I'm not aware of.

Thoughts?

Since everyone here seemed to like my Pegboard designs, I figured I'd share this as well. When making the Only Sensor (see the home automation community or my site), I used this Solder Fume Extractor to keep my lungs nice and clean.

Fully 3D printable, and a full bill or materials on the link. Enjoy!

Hrm, not sure why the image returned a logo, but here it is:

So, I think I got backwards-deck. I play Rocket League, so input lag is a big deal for me there. However, the issue I have seems opposite of what I see online:

  • Using deck controls has noticeable lag
  • Using a wired X-Box controller has noticeable lag
  • Using a Bluetooth X-Box controller works pretty good

Can anyone think of why I would have such bad lag on the built-in controls?

EDIT So this might be display, not input lag!

  • Set Gamescope Disable FPS Limiter On
  • Set Gamescope Allow Tearing On
  • Set Rocket League Vsync Off
  • Set Rocket League FPS to 144

The deck works a lot harder, and fans go crazy, but it's playable without an external monitor now. I think in limiting to the didplay's 60hz, the Deck must be doing something else causing display lag.

 

So I have a debate in my head right now about how I should handle devices stored unattended in vehicles. The criteria:

  • Devices have new versions of Android
  • Pass phrases or many-digit pins are used
  • Biometric login is set up (but can't be used in Lockdown Mode)
  • Have Bitwarden installed with biometric auth for the vault
  • Has SSH keys on the device

I'm not worried about nation state attacks, but am considering the vector of a tech savy thief, and want to keep SSH keys and other device data secure. Assume they cannot be stored in a vault.

Is storing the phones on but in Lockdown mode enough, or should I turn them off completely? Off would be super annoying to wait for boot every time, but I'm not totally sure how KEK works for an encrypted device with biometrics set up but in Lockdown Mode where they are disabled.

 

Anyone else in this boat? It was said by a Bamboo user when I was chatting about my modded Maker Select and the Voron I'm about to build.

I do use the printer a lot for designing and making projects like the sensors I just launched or the Twystlock for Steam Deck, etc.

But I like tinkering/making more. For example I used to mod video game consoles more than I played them, so the comment made sense to me.
