I have rooftop solar, but only for the house because I can’t reach my car to charge it in the street.

The car sits outside for days (I work from home), so in my case this would be great.

This is the 1st I’ve seen of this car, so haven’t read any other details, but I’d be surprised if external charging wasn’t possible.

Am I the only one questioning the spelling of “tyre“?

And apparently monkey is only the 6th password attempt to try:

I don’t have any evidence to backup my statement, but for my usecase (Linux booting troubleshooting toolkit) Kingston sticks last a fair while (~10 years), but Sandisk fail sooner (<5years?)

The main thing I’ve noticed for all brands: there’s no warning before failure. They’re like nicad batteries… all good, then one day - completely dead. So never keep any data on them that you can’t lose.

Good point about the default video source. I had to use “hotel mode” on 1 TV to get that to work… I’ll check what this one does

thanks

Wha?! I didn’t know this was happening… Damn, that was my solution to multiple applications

A single, decent, maintained one for LVM.

Redhat had a couple of goes at this and they suck ass big time and rely on KDE (so no good for any other DE / WM). I’m not sure anything really works, so I’ll say: none exist.

Just a +1 for Open Camera - it’s a great bit of software.

Not sure if it’s the devs to blame when there’s statements like:

Kurtz therefore has the possibly unique and almost-certainly-unwanted distinction of having presided over two major global outage events caused by bad software updates.

So, I’m guessing it’s the business that’s not supporting good dev->test->release practices.

But, I agree with your point; their overall software quality is terrible.

I think they should consider the word “wages” instead.

Let’s be honest, this is compensation for skilled labour.

I would add that a lot of attacks are done after a fix has been released - ie compare the previous release with the patch and bingo - there’s the vulnerability.

But agree, patching should happen regularly, just with a few days delay after the supplier release it.

No it’s Crowdstrike… we’re just seeing an issue with their Windows software, not their Linux software.

Just to add - if your phone drops off the wifi (mine does and I’m still trying to find out why… maybe due to power saving), then maybe, you could also look at bluetooth tracking (ie something like ESPresence) for HA to know you’re still at home.

(Bluetooth can also be setup in the Companion App)

Uncheck the box labeled Allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement.

And, we’re back to normal?

What kinda thing are you thinking of? An actual photobooth kinda box?

You could usr an Android tablet, install Open Camera (from F-Droid) and that has the ability to take (for example) 4 photos with a 10 sec delay… videos too…

Then use syncthing to copy those photos to something else (your phone, a NAS, etc) before it gets trashed / accidentally wiped, etc…

I tried using Enlightenment years ago - it looked amazing, and then… I found all the bugs, incompatibilities, etc… and it’s lackof progress was disappointing.

I tried Bodhi Linux and even they gave up, creating their own Moksha desktop environment too…

Whatever you do. Full backup first 👍🏻😉

Personally, I’d go with the clean Fedora install on the new drive and copy your data over as someone else mentioned, then expand Windows once you 100% happy with it.

(I did something similar with WinXP years ago… eventually dropping Windows, so that harddrive just became a data drive)

Follow the videos, the original developer shows what it can do, but it’s basically running keylogger software.

This is the way.

There’s nothing worse than finding your DNS/DHCP has gone down and it’s a VM / container running inside a server that can’t start because it doesn’t have an IP address and you can’t resolve names to get the thing started.

Break things down into chunks that make sense - to you.

I have dedicated (low power) hardware for the interweb firewall / DHCP / core network stuff.

I have a NAS for storage with all the backups / reinstall images on (so I can rebuild the firewall if there’s no internet, for example)

Then I have everything else in a single server.
