How amazing is the fediverse. There's no going back. Actual, open protocols, that encourage collaboration and sharing without a corporate overlord. I'm so excited and feeling positive for the internet. It's been a long time since I've said that.

OK how did you do that?!

My last post is my attempt, but it was less than ideal.

They're such a lovely government.

Edit. Turns out it's legal.

"Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles stated on Thursday that the ships did not pose any threats and did not breach any maritime laws."

There ya go. Who'd have thought.

Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.

Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.

What was your favorite IRL needle drop moment? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 days ago

My son was born. I held him in my arms for the first time. As that happened, outside the window a massive fireworks display kicked off, along a nearby city river. It was that kind of moment. My boy in my arms. Fireworks, silent, but massive and beautiful, just for me. For us.

Bike makers invited to ditch the derailleur for combined motor/gearbox in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

I agree. These are now small motorcycles. I like it. If only they'd ditch the bike facade, and make them look cool. Style em up.

Samsung microSD not showing in Linux (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all,

I have an Intel NUC Skull Canyon. It's running POP_OS!

I purchase a microSD card, and it came with an SD Adaptor.

I've plugged it in, but nothing shows in files.

I have run lsusb, lspci, and even:

sudo lsblk -o MODEL,NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE

However it's just not showing up anywhere.

The microSD is brand new, and a model called:

SAMSUNG 512 EVO Plus A2 V30.

I am not sure if the card is maybe so new, that linux can't see it yet? I doubt that.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas? I don't have another SD Adaptor, nor any other computer with an SD or microSD slot.

Thanks so muchy

Caves of Qud on handheld / Retroid Pocket 5? (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

I am waiting on my Retroid Pocket 5 to be delivered.

This is quite a small screen for a game that appears to have a lot of text.

I wonder if anyone has tried?

I see the devs have said they will be making an android port, one 1.0 is out. Well, 1.0 is out, so maybe in a year or so we might see that port? For now though, I'd love ot know if anyone has tried, and what it's like?

I'll probably buy it anyway, for PC gaming, but I don't do a lot of that anymore, and am hoping it has some nice scaling options etc for small screens.

Thanks so much.

How to set up laptop for corporate usage, so contents can be erased. (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all, we are hiring a remote worker and will be supplying a laptop to them. The laptop will be running a Debian variant of Linux on it.

We are a small shop and this is the first time we have entrusted somebody outside of our small pool of trusted employees.

We have sensitive client data on the laptop that they need to access for their day-to-day work.

However, if something goes wrong, and they do the wrong thing, we want to be able to send out some kind of command or similar, that will completely lock, block, or wipe the sensitive data.

We don't want any form of spying or tracking. We are not interested in seeing how they use the computer, or any of the logs. We just want to be able to delete that data, or block access, if they don't return the laptop when they leave, or if they steal the laptop, or if they do the wrong thing.

What systems are in place in the world of Linux that could do this?

Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated? Thank you.
