But it seems like there are other easy distros with lenient requirements that don’t try to force Snaps and ads on their users.

If they aren’t cooperating with recovering access to your accounts, report them to the CFPB. They are legally required to give a real response instead of a form letter. I assume it costs them time and money, which is a side benefit.

If the federal government requires 7 years, they probably will not budge on that at all. They should have a strong incentive to not leak that data, but they don’t. That is a failing of the US government. We need a HIPAA but covering any personal data instead of only health.

The sheets in the motel room, that’s insane. A while back I read something like a stalker caught a reflection in someone’s eye at a train station, that’s horrific enough. But I would have thought being indoors is relatively safe. It is like impossible to put out video content at all without being vulnerable.

How on earth are these psychos able to find streamers’ actual addresses?

It is easy, though? I cannot even use it correctly. I just know some of the commands and that if you hold down shift it goes backwards.

The USB-C power is huge. I don’t know why it is so hard to find. I do not want another massive power brick and barrel connector.

I’m about to do some SELinux workarounds. I want to install an SELinux package in a VM to build rpm-ostree images, but installing that breaks the Incus agent inside the VM when it cannot listen on a socket. Any advice on how to go about it? I’m pretty new with anything SELinux.

I do this also except I need to get in the habit of documenting every single problem instead of just recurring ones. I should start using one of those local server shell history databases, too.

You can tell from the post title. There’s a collection of little propagandists that do nothing other than post disinformation, immediately lash out at any slightly differing opinions, and then go whining in other communities if any mod takes any action about it.

If you want atomic Fedora but don’t want to deal with the ignition file stuff, check out Fedora IoT.

But then there’s fewer reasons to beg you to subscribe.

I saw some people talking about niri just recently and plan to give that a try soon.

You’ll be saving lives, yeah, but between dealing with entitled assholes that won’t follow directions and then yell at you because they didn’t.

It’s maybe easy to burn out in any career. Society has deprioritized individual fulfillment for most of us because it harms the nesting levels of billionaires’ yachts.

I would use Gitlab only in an airgapped network. Password resets sent to attacker-supplied emails is such a complete failure of a security model it seems like it is only a matter of time until the next critical vulnerability.

Can a scorpion be trusted to behave himself on a ride across the pond?

I will second this recommendation. The main purpose of the SBCs is running Linux with easy access to GPIO pins. If you are using USB just run off of a small x86 machine and avoid the hassle.

Orange Pi has disappointed me. I bought an (IIRC) Orange Pi 5B.

There is no sane “boot from SD” button to hold so if there is an SD card in it it tries to boot from that unconditionally. Even if the SD card is not bootable. This might be a dealbreaker for you because it would be nice to have an Octoprint board with expandable storage that didn’t act stupid. That’s what I wanted.

One of the USB ports is also just removeded. Putting anything in it knocks out the entire USB bus on that side of the board until a restart.

I won’t be buying another board from them.

The atomicity probably counts as an interesting feature, but it does seem to be getting more popular.

Thank you!

What sort of grid-tie systems are you thinking of?

I ask because I’ve been considering something like that and am finding nothing but things which have an internet connection back to the manufacturer. Some US states apparently prohibit charging batteries via the grid outside of certain scenarios. Abiding by that is fine, I’m not going to charge illegally. But I’d still like a device that is 100% not controlled remotely by some other party.
