Ubuntu and Linux Mint are ideal for people who just want to ignore the OS and get work done.

If you are a Dev you should be clear of such problem, unless you need a very specific tool, but, many people can't switch because the programs they work with are not supported on Linux. Take a look into that, and in the worst case scenario you can dual boot windows.

Gaming wise proton is a bless and let's you play most games, check protonDB for compability. Major portion of the games that don't work are due to crappy anticheat solutions.

Good luck, any other questions feel free to ask.

Neon genesis evangelion : The end of Evagelion

. . .

Second time watching the whole series + ending, understood things better this time around however still have some questions. Third time will be the charm I am sure of it.

It's a great storie revolving around the hedgehog dilema, change within ourselfs, and escapism, hitting too close to home at times.

What upfront looks like a freaking cool mecha anime, which it is, hides a narrative so human it gives you chill by how real it is at times. Really recommended the movie + series.

May I introduce you to typst ?

Yeah I voted kind of blindly, and then read how vague the proposal was.

I agree that live service games should have an end of life plan, being it providing backend binaries and/or protocols and documentation.

This all started because of The crew, a game which, as far as I am aware, advertised itself as mainly a single player and was closed because of Ubisoft shenanigans.

Maybe starting small and make sure this so advertised as single player experiences, work even after the publisher marks the game as dead, and build upon that instead of trying to go all in but idk.

Haven't learned yet, and still struggling with it but if someone asks if you are OK, don't go for the default awnser, if anything say idk.

That and asking for help, I been in the bottom of the barrel one too many times just because I din't ask for a hand early on.

Yeah done anything with it over 1.5 ~ 2 years, on top of that NFC does not work at all in many cases.

Yeah I regreted buying one . . . works great on PC though.

Most of my teachers either used MacOS or Ubuntu very few times I saw Windows but again my studies were in computer science so a bit of a bias.

Yeah let's just say that android 4.x isn't that great.

Could try to flash a custom ROM with a more up-to-date version of android but the 1GB of ram would not help.

Going for the minimal solution with KOreader and Alpine/PostMarketOS might be the best way to bring this buddy back to an useful state.

Continuando com a saga, deixem ai os vossos bitatites em relação ao estado da literatura em portugal.

Toda a gente conhece os Saramagos, Pessoas e os Camões da Vida, que autores é que pensam que merecem o destaque dado a estes grandes?

Vou ser sincero o que costumo ler é maioritariamente ficção estrangeira, Dune,1984,Foundation,Wheel of time,To sleep in a sea of stars, entre outros.

Mas sempre quis mergulhar nas nossas, suponho abrangentes, águas.

Dead Man Switch (self.programming)
 

This week I read a post about the death of the Boeing whistleblower, and how Boeing might have suicided him.

I don't care about if the rumors are true or not, however someone mentioned in the comments that in such situations one should always have a Dead Man Switch.

For those who don't know a Dead Man Switch is basically an action TBD in case you die, like leaking documents, send messages/emails, kill a server etc . . .

The concept tickled me a bit, and I decided I want to build a similar system for myself. No, I am not in danger but I would like to send last goodbyes to friends and family. I think it would be cool concept.

How would you go and build such service?

I thinking of using a VPS to do the actions because it would be running for a while before my debit card gets cancelled.

The thing that is bugging me out is the trigger, I will not put that responsibility onto someone that's cheating, so it would have to be something which can reliably tell I am dead and has to run regularly.

Where is what I come up with :

  • Ask a country association through email if am I am dead.

  • Check if I haven't logged out on my password manager in a week. If it's even possible.

TLDR; Give me ideas on how to build a DEAD MAN SWITCH and what triggers should I use.

OK hear me out, I just got a new laptop and been using the shitty keyboard cover which it came it.

As it was kinda nasty I went looking for a new one, had my mouse mat on my left and though "uh if only u were the right size and a bit slimmer" and an idea just ringed my hears

"Laptop keyboard cover that could double duty as a mouse pad"

Soft surface and grippy edges so it wouldn't slide, washable so u can get ridd of the nastyness of the tables u bring it to.

Currently I carry everyday my laptop, my mouse and the charger. If bringing a mousepad was as simple as removing the keyboard cover and putting it in my desk I would pay a couple bucks for it.

My question is :

  • Does it exist? ( not that I am aware )
  • Would it be cool or niche of mine?
  • How to make a patent and make scam kickstart?

Recommendations (self.linux)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by ransomwarelettuce to c/[email protected]
 

So I finally decided to join my university Linux group, and as I been helping people with simple problems in discord for a while they put me in the helpdesk.

All fine and dandy, but other than dual boot and partitioning problems that I had to deal with myself (stupid laptop which does no follow efibootmgr order) I don't know much about other kinds of troubleshooting.

Is there some reads or free online courses that u guys would recommend.

Pantheon season 2 (self.moviesandtv)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by ransomwarelettuce to c/[email protected]
 

Holy shit that was crazy, so many references to evangelion, and a ending to match it too, might not be the cup of tea for everyone but I loved that finale mindfuck.

Curious how there was such an hype for season 1 and this one at least for me flew over the radar.

 

Sorry guys don't know if this is the right place, but as I was watching this video I couldn't get the music of the Intro/outro out of my head.

Supposedly the music is from 20ysl for what is listed in the description, but I Shazam it and did a little search trough the artist tracks and did not find it.

Not really into edm or derivatives but I am sucker for this synth/italo house kind of music.

GameLinked (self.linustechtips)
 

Is it me or the RSS feed to GameLinked is broken, I know with anchor acquisition things have not been smooth sailing.

But TechLinked is working for me at least.

If they did published things to apple podcasts I could find an work around to listen to it in AthenaPod otherwise I will have to stick to YouTube.

 

The mods replaced the crooked logo against many of our lovely family.

I am here to show my discontentment and make a pledge to revert the change!!!
