I happily use Fedora for workstation purposes but hate to admit I use it, so it’s an accurate critique. It’s a great operating system though, naming aside.

It literally was in the opening paragraph. Previous years keynotes are available in a playlist here, so I assume they’ll do the same for this year’s keynotes as well. The event only just ended yesterday.

Open Source Summit 2024 keynotes. I don’t think any of the recordings are available yet.

The malicious code is only thought to have affected deb/rpm packaging (i.e the backdoor only included itself with those packaging methods). Additionally, arch doesn’t link ssh against liblzma which means this specific vulnerability wasn’t applicable to arch. Arch may have still been vulnerable in other ways, but this specific vulnerability targeted deb/rpm distros

This is a feature of SATA devices too. Use UUIDs in your fstab unless you enjoy playing musical chairs with your mount points

Been a sync user since 2010. LJ has taken a lot of breaks but has always come back

You need to use chown if you want to own the libs

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

The LE steam decks are shipping with a screen manufactured by BOE.

Mine just arrived and indeed has 3 dead subpixels (2 blue, 1 green)

A bit late to your comment but they simply don’t want you to talk to a human. It’s that easy. Talking to a human results in empathy, which results in giving away of deals the management doesn’t really want you to give out.

They’d rather you get frustrated at being able to not reach a human and then you just give up and be a good sheep and pay what you’re expected to.

Oh, unless you want to cancel, in which case it will take no less than 10 different humans bouncing you off various departments and scripts because making it easy to cancel also results in bad metrics

LE, order placed 10:19 Pacific. Not shipped yet, but packaged. Guess the Canada shipping backlog is real – hopefully it comes this week.

But you actually don’t know what monero is being used for when it’s used in transactions, no one does. You just have a bias that if people want to keep their transactions secret, it must be illegal.

You could make the same argument for cash.

This is called the “Door in the face method” of bargaining. Start with a request so high and absurd that you “slam the door in their face” because it’s so absurd.

The next time they try, they’ll come back with an offer that sounds far more reasonable than the original request. Since you’re still primed with the previous context, your brain makes it sound less bad than it probably is ("At least it’s not the first offer!). You’re more likely to accept after this.

The opposite technique is called “foot in the door”, start with a small request (get your foot in the door) and then increase the ask after the small request goes over.

You need a budget, but it’s not free.

But with Intuit, you are the product, so it’s only free in the sense that they get your info and you get mint in return.

I don’t really use it for this, but here are some things I do use it for:

• metrics scraping on servers without needing to open ports or worry about ssl encryption. Works great for federating Prometheus instances or scraping exporters
• secure access to machines not directly exposed to the internet. I.e. ssh access to my home box while I’m traveling
• being an exit node for web traffic while traveling. I.e. maybe you are traveling and have a bank who is giving you grief about logging in – masquerade that connection from your home IP

I mostly just use it for metrics scraping though

If you were under Linux, you could have the start command change desktop resolution with xrandr. But since you are on Windows it looks like qres is a command line app to help you achieve the same thing: https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/qres.html

There’s also HDR switch: https://github.com/bradgearon/hdr-switch

Using the nvstreamer1080 option may be a bit easier, but nice to have options!

Edit: I should read better. Did you try

C:\\path\\to\\QRes.exe /x:1200 /y:800

Just run from you command line first until you get the hang of it

This isn’t some instance specific feature or a custom shortcut – it’s a feature of Lemmy. The link posted by the bot works perfectly fine on both the lemmy-ui (browser) and on sync.

The reason why your link is problematic is because it will take people off their home instance, the other format keeps people on it. The bot is trying to suggest a way of linking internally to Lemmy that’s more user friendly than just an URL to a different instance

Because he prioritized his time in getting the application usable rather than implementing various tiers of payments instead.

One of the messages to the discord this morning seems to indicate he’s planning on adding the one time ad-free unlock today.

Because this strategy worked so well for determining individuals’ assigned sex at birth. What could possibly go wrong?

Updated amd64-microcode for EPYC processors appears available for several distributions which has mitigations available. I went ahead and proactively grabbed the microcode update from Debian unstable (not the best practice) and applied it without issue to my Bullseye/EPYC.

This isn’t exactly condoned as it’s not officially a backport, but I’ll take my chances as this is pretty critical.

Date of the updated microcode should be July 19th.
