I would wonder if there’s a self hosted option out there for video streaming (there’s this?) that you could set up to mirror with a few friends, that way if your home every gets searched you’ve got a friend with copies that can get it to a journalist/lawyer

Lora is in the 915mhz ISM band in the USA. This part of the spectrum is full of high power transmissions, Lora runs on such low power that it’s signals are pretty much below the noise floor. The FCC doesn’t have the teeth to regulate what they already are supposed to regulate, they aren’t going to bother with Lora. As far as communicating doing anything illegal or soon to be illegal shit, Signal is more reliable.

That app has been junk for several years. I think there was a change in permissions in one of the Android versions that made it useless, they never updated it.

I agree with their sentiment, I like my menu on the side, the middle of my screen is busy showing me what I was doing. I don’t want it covered up because I opened the start menu.

I’m the minority in my family I suppose, because the kid doesn’t know better and can barely tell the difference between raspberry pi OS and Windows and the wife “kinda likes it in the middle”. I’m also the only one who uses Linux. I feel dirty if I ever have to do something on their computers. I keep a liveUSB of opensuse tumbleweed to minimize my interactions with Windows at home.

Please don’t post trash here, find an actual good article with journalistic integrity.

Chris Murphy has a new (and younger, but not necessarily more attractive)

First line. What absolute trash of an article.

Raspberry Pies (is that how you pluralize it?), and especially their SD cards are not the most reliable pieces of hardware. I’ve already had a few die on me.

I grabbed a le potato with an emmc module a little while back and recently got a rock 3c with an emmc slot. I doubt think I can ever go back to microSD based SBCs. I have a good handful of pis from the first one to the 4. Each one of those has chewed up at least one card until I made a point to buy high quality microsds. They do work quite well if you don’t have them reading and writing from the card much, so if it’s just running as an appliance it should be able to last a while.

But yeah, I regularly dd my sd cards so I have a backup of a clean setup and a more recent one that I can revert to if I lose a card. Which reminds me, I should probably do that with my pihole, since it’s somehow become that one brick keeping my entire network functioning.

In that case you can just arrest and convict a political opponent of something stupid. Not a good idea

Drivers are on the computer, firmware is in the component. Firmware can be updated in both windows and Linux and will affect both systems. Drivers live solely on the OS, so fedora drivers will not be affecting windows. There’s an incredibly small chance that your firmware was updated and caused this, but I don’t recall a firmware update ever occurring automatically on Linux, I’ve always had to do it manually.

So basically you’re saying we should allow trans people to play in whatever sport they want so we can collect more data.

I have had it installed for like 15 years lol

Does never removing it count?

Mine is raspberry pi zero 2w with an external enclosure attached to solar+battery. Wi-Fi is barely consistent enough for speeds around 1/4 what they should be. I’m still working out the kinks, but thanks be to FSM for rsync and snapshots, otherwise my backup scheme would probably never be able to finish.

Agreed, I just spent a week (very intermittently) trying to figure out where all my free space had gone, turns out it was a bunch of abandoned docker volumes taking up. I have 32gb on my laptop, so space is at an absolute premium.

I guess I learned my lesson about trying out docker containers on my laptop just to check them out.

I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.

Is life worth living if your windows don’t wobble?

2009 was the year of the Linux…laptop

Ah, that makes sense. I thought they were talking about laptop, desktop, kids computer, tablet, etc. and was like ¿…? Linux works next to everything better than anything else.

Anyway, I see what you mean. I got a temperature monitor that needed to be set up using their proprietary software that they only made for Windows, wine didn’t work so I actually ended up setting up a tiny win 10 VM so I could set it up. Easier and safer than dual booting with Windows around. Besides that though, I’ve always been able to find a workaround.

I do similar, except nextcloud and backups beyond just syncing. I fear something corrupting my database and that syncing immediately through all my devices.

What do you mean? I’ve never had any issues with multiple devices. They’re… Just different devices.
