I’m curious if anyone’s paying to support development (of either application)?

I’m just about getting all my photos into my NAS, so will be looking at these myself soon

the company said it would start turning off Manifest V2 extensions

…in time for Black Friday & the holiday sales?

I seem to recall back in (the rose tinted synthpop) 90’s that Notepad was an example of Visual Basic… or at least we created it on a training course…

So, I’m surprised that anyone’s done anything with it.

It’s probably gone from a 12kB .exe to a 2GB file with another 10GB of .dlls

Ah, ok, got a little confused… GeoClue TZ is an improvement on GeoClue

I didn’t even know this was a thing, I just dealt with this manually - now feeling a little silly.

I can confirm that moving the disks to a very similar device will work.

We recovered “enough” data from what disks remained of a Dell server that was dropped (PSU side down) from a crane. The server was destroyed, most of the disks had moved further inside the disk caddy which protected them a little more.

It was fun to struggle with that one for ~1 week

And the noise from the drives…

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.

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…
