Linus Torvalds - that commit is not mine in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Towards the bottom of that page is a tree with all the replies in the chain.

Here is one where they determined it was not malicious by examining the ref logs

I've used these tools to remove stuff from git history (e.g. someone accidentally committed a password or key that wasn't noticed for a while) and they are powerful but scary. Good discussion on what when wrong and how to avoid it or at least notice it before it gets this far

Virus in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I have had to do similar with a db at my job.

Backups passed verification but we had a lot of weird issues, like queries getting stuck, or not returning records that were definitely there.

Ended up having to manually recreate the schema and import records from a manual data dump because something in the db file itself was messed up.

Same. I liked the idea of sea devils but it felt like a 2 episode plot cut down to one

I have a 2-in-1 laptop that folds with a touchscreen and Debian has been good for me. Sometimes I have to toggle the auto-rotate on the screen on and off to get it to work again but I doubt that issue is Debian specific. I don't know about a stylus but even if Debian doesn't include drivers for it, installing proprietary drivers manually isn't that bad.

My specs are worse than yours and it runs fine for productivity stuff. I use it for writing, spreadsheets, some web tools, and notes / references while running tabletop games.

This sounds awesome. Will definitely try this out

Love it! Demo runs great on Steam Deck, also.

Will definitely keep an eye out for the full release.

Thank you! It was a lot of fun.

Thanks! Someone else suggested freecad recently as well. I've been meaning to check it out!

Made a dice box in OpenSCAD (www.printables.com)
 

I was having a hard time finding a dice box that fit my slightly larger than normal dice, so I made my own! It uses magnets to stay closed, and the top acts as a dice tray for rolling.

I'm pretty basic with my cad skills. I learned OpenSCAD out of spite after fully getting off of windows a while back, and thus losing access to Fusion360. I tried to made this as parametric as possible, with the ability to adjust for different sized dice and magnets controlled by variables at the top of the file.

I'm sure there are things in the code that are not optimal, but the model works really well and I have been using this for a while. Figured I'd post it online and share here as well.

That's a good point. Also with it being a PC, you can keep a library of DRM free games on an sd card or something and kind of get the same thing. Limited on what games you can do this with officially though. DRM is the worst

That's pretty much her entire character in every episode she's in. I can't think of a single example of her respecting boundaries or consent

Issues filling forms in PDFs (lemm.ee)
 

Pretty much all of the PDF readers I have tried will work for form filling, however I have some similar issues with all of them.

I mainly use Okular or Atril.

Issue 1 is when filling out multiple fields in a PDF, it becomes extremely slow, to the point of typing some text, and having to wait for 5-10 second for it to show up and I can continue.

Issue 2 is that both Okular and Atril will insert the text with a much larger font size and/or different font than the document. Even in cases where the fields have some pre-populated text, if I touch the field, the font changes. Sometimes the change is significant enough that the text is not readable, or makes surrounding elements not readable.

The best way I have found that works is to use FireFox. The form filling in that works fast and doesn't mess up the fonts, but the way FireFox handles saving PDFs is tedious. I can't just click ctrl+s to save, as it prompts me to choose a location to save at and makes me overwrite the original file every time, rather than just editing it in place.

Is there any PDF reader that people are aware of that does not have these issues? Or is this something that is weird with my setup?

I'm running Debian 12 with the KDE Plasma desktop environment

[Solved - kind of] Audio / webcam not working for 2013 Macbook Air (lemm.ee)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by Jtskywalker@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml

We have had a Macbook Air (A1466) laying around for years after it became useless due to not getting any more updates so modern browsers wouldn't run, etc. etc.

Today I decided to dust it off and install Ubuntu - that all went great. No issues with wifi drivers or anything. The only issues I am having are that I have no audio input or output (only device available is "dummy output") and no webcam.

I'm not really sure where to start. I have used linux before, but it has been years (Ubuntu 11 or 12 was the latest I ever touched).

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

This is what I get from running lspci -V
