Don't give him ideas!

And the US and EU governments don't give huge subsidies to the automotive industry?

I know. But the incumbents have been putting off the transition to EVs for decades in the name of short term profits and now they're caught with their pants down. If they had seriously invested ten years ago, they'd be much further along.

Cool. I'm a dude and pretty old, though. Having a baby might be a bit of a problem.

It's simple really. Make affordable EVs and people will buy them. Yet that seems to be impossible to understand for the incumbents.

I guess he's finally lost it completely.

None of this is accidental or a failure of the system. The system works as designed.

Wrong way to go, if you ask me. The people who want 1000 km of range simply don't understand EVs.

Windows just fucked up my bootloader... in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I always had trouble with running dual boot, mostly because I don't really have a clue about all this stuff. So the consequence was to ditch Windows. Never going back.

Ah well. I guess a reinstall every couple of years or so isn't such a bad thing.

Headless VNC on Mint (feddit.de)
 

I installed x11vnc on Mint and it works fine as long as I have a monitor plugged into the server. I want to run the server without a monitor though. That apparently doesn't work with Cinnamon. I already bought a dummy plug to simulate a monitor but that seems clunky. Is there a better way? I'm also open to using a different VNC server or even a different distro (as long as it's not Ubuntu or Arch).

Dell 5070 won't boot into Linux Mint (feddit.de)

Update: it worked without any issues after i tried a different USB stick with a different ISO. Which is weird, because I had installed LMDE on several machines with exactly this stick. I guess the ways of our Lord and Saviour are mysterious.

I swapped out the SATA drive on the Dell 5070. There is no NVME drive. Before I had a 256 GB drive. I put in a 1 TB drive and installed Mint on it. The previous drive also had Mint. But I must have somehow messed up the BIOS settings because now the blasted thing won't boot.

The drive shows up on the System Info page of the BIOS:

It also shows up in the Drives page:

But I can't choose it as a boot option:

Clicking on Add Boot Option only brings an error that it can't find any file system. I tried restoring the settings but that didn't help. What can I do?

Synology DS215j NAS - time for an upgrade? (feddit.de)
 

I've had this box for almost ten years now, so I've been thinking about getting something new. Looking at the market, the new systems don't seem to be all that much more advanced, though. So my question is, should I get a new one or just keep the old box and swap out the drives? What can a new NAS do that my old one can't? And what kind of drives should I get? I have 2 TB WD Red something, is that still a good choice? I'd move up to 4 TB, of course. This box is only used as backup for my home stuff and a small business, I'm primarily concerned with reliability.

/etc/fstab entry for Synology NAS (feddit.de)

I'm trying to mount my Synology NAS on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian. I works when I do it the following command:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.178.**:/volume1/my_data / /home/pi/mount/NAS

but it doesn't work with this entry in /etc/fstab:

192.186.178.**:/volume1/my_data /home/pi/mount/NAS nfs defaults 0 0

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: pro tip: make sure you get the IP addresses right so you won't spend days chasing after a trivial error like some idiot. Don't ask me how I know. Thanks to @Arlos for pointing that out.
