What was the last dvd/cd your burned? do you still use such media? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] dosse91@lemmy.trippy.pizza 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I burn exactly one DVD every year.

The school where I teach wants us to deposit all tests done in digital format (I teach programming) at the end of the year on a DVD-RW.

I keep an old USB DVD drive around specifically for this, but I also have some old PCs that I could use. I use k3b to make these discs.

My first thought was "Oh wow, I actually bought a lot of stuff back in the day, most of which has been removed", but then I realized that I haven't bought anything from google play in well over 10 years. Time flies...

If I had to guess, the second curve allows the GPU to boost higher than the first one, so it generates more heat.

Alright, I'll get a zigbee dongle then.

Thanks for the replies.

Smart light bulb suggestions (lemmy.trippy.pizza)
 

I'm completely out of the smart lights loop and I'm looking for light bulbs that allow me to set brightness, color temperature and possibly the color in general using HA.

I see a lot of people recommending zigbee bulbs, which is fine, I just need to buy a dongle, but I already have an isolated wifi network with no internet access that I use to control smart stuff from my home server, so something with wifi would be ideal. I want something that I can just screw in and control from my server with no proprietary apps needed for the initial configuration.

Can you give me some recommendations?

Thanks

This sounds similar to one of my projects that could use some extra love: https://github.com/adolfintel/tdf

Let's talk security: Answering your top questions about Android developer verification in c/android@lemdro.id

I will not register any of my applications with this fascist garbage, I'd rather deprecate them and stop developing on android altogether.

All the troubles with Debian upgrade in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] dosse91@lemmy.trippy.pizza 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Personally I had zero issues with upgrading my server to Debian 13; it's an installation dating back to Debian 9 or 10 with a lot of services installed.

The only inconvenience I had was that somehow Transmission 4.1.0 beta made it into debian stable, and beta clients are usually not allowed by private trackers. I switched to deluge and called it a day.

what's your ringtone? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

The default ringtone in LineageOS, but I use talk.wav from Quake (1996) for notifications, I love that sound

Will kernel-level anti-cheat ever work on linux? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] dosse91@lemmy.trippy.pizza 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It would need to be open source, distributing proprietary kernel modules is a nightmare that can cause the OS to fail to boot after every kernel update. An open source anticheat kernel module would probably be useless and easy to bypass.

I recently broke my arm and I won't be able to use it for at least a month. I was starting to play STALKER 2 but that's not going to be possible for a while.

Do you have any suggestion for one-handed PC games?

How do I use the kde-unstable repo on Arch? (lemmy.trippy.pizza)
 

I want to try the new Plasma 6 beta so I followed the instructions on the Arch wiki on how to enable the kde-unstable repo and tried to update the system, but when I try pacman says "plasma-activities and kactivities are in conflict", both are required by some of the packages that it's trying to update and there's no way to ignore the conflict.

Does anyone know how to install it?

Recommendation for an UPS (lemmy.trippy.pizza)
 

I'm looking for a new UPS to replace an almost 10 years old APC beast that's having issues, but I'm not sure what to buy.

I'll be using it to power a small home server and some network equipment in an area where there are occasional power outages (but they last 2-3 hours). My requirements are:

  • 300-600€ range
  • At least 1500VA, 900W
  • Doesn't make noise unless it's on battery
  • Must not require proprietary software to monitor it or to calibrate the battery and other basic stuff (if it works with apcupsd or NUT it would be perfect)
  • No weird battery format

What would you recommend?

Thanks!

Are there any lemmy communities similar to r/crackwatch? I can't seem to find anything decent.

APC UPS switches to battery 50 times a day (lemmy.trippy.pizza)
 

Hopefully this is the right place to ask.

I have an APC Back-UPS XS 1400U that I use to keep my home server running 24/7.

It was purchased in 2015, batteries replaced around 2020, everything was fine until around June 2023 when it started randomly switching to battery for a few seconds for no apparent reason once or twice a day.

The UPS is connected to my home server via USB so I can get some readouts. It says "Unacceptable line voltage changes", but it's configured to switch when it's outside the 160-280v range and it gets nowhere near those thresholds, the voltage fluctuates in the 224-234 range.

I connected an oscilloscope to the mains to see if there were transients when the problem occurred but I don't see anything out of the ordinary and the problem has been getting worse, now it switches an average of 50 times a day.

The UPS still works, it can keep the server up for hours if I unplug the power, so the batteries should be good. What's going on?
