As a kiwi, I'm sorry you guys only have a binary choice.

My 2 cents without really knowing much: much:

Harris- only good by comparison Won't make the major changes necessary not very funny

Trump- Orange Hilarious Has some good ideas on bringing jobs back

Is the direction of rotation in the room with us right now?

Lutris can be pretty handy for many things..

I don't have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

  • I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn't work.

You'll be able to get better answers. I'm pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is 'find something open source that is not as good but works.'

There should be an app or something for this..

I... actually can't tell if you're taking the piss or if that's a real episode.

I have so many questions about the whales.

Tarballs are not built from source?

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 21 points 7 months ago (17 children)

I have heard multiple times from different sources that building from git source instead of using tarballs invalidates this exploit, but I do not understand how. Is anyone able to explain that?

If malicious code is in the source, and therefore in the tarball, what's the difference?

centering the mouse on the game

Maybe I'm missing something, but.. why is this a problem? You can just like, move the mouse to where you want it?

I can't replicate this issue on mine. I recently somehow broke Gnome (again) during an update, so I finally went back to a tiling WM (awesome this time). I start the game in a separate desktop, and then when I need to do things outside of the game, I just change to another desktop using the keyboard shortcuts. Pretty sure this is possible in all WM/DEs on Linux.

Apple will make you pay for anything apparently

Ah thanks, that's my problem, it's me.

 

This makes no freakin sense to me, and it's driving me bonkers. Censored for work purposes obv.

Hosts file:

1.1.1.1 site.com

$ping site.com

PING site.com (1.1.1.1)

^C

$ping http://site.com

ping: unknown host http://site.com

What?? Ping, You JUST RESOLVED site.com, why can't you resolve it now??

Why does the addition of the protocol break DNS resolution?

It's CentOS 6.10, quite old..

/etc/nsswitch has:

hosts: files dns

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Oh boy....

Total Download Size: 3390.65 MiB Total Installed Size: 13052.08 MiB Net Upgrade Size: 291.24 MiB

I wonder if I'm going to notice any better performance..

 

Might be late to the party, but I just discovered you can do this. Super simple and easy to do.

After having a read of the linked page, I backed up and just used this option:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon

Installed, created config, and enabled service:

systemctl --user enable psd.service systemctl --user enable psd-resync.service

I definitely notice an increase in speed and less SSD usage should hopefully increase lifespan.

I'm sure there would be options for alternative distros, anything using Systemd should be able to use the daemon.

 

But what if they hit the brown note?

 

Any explanation on how this happens?

Just as a matter of curiosity

I have a file with content like this:

item({
     ["attr"] = {
        ["size"] = "62091";
        ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg";
        ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z";
        ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0";
        ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg";
     };
     ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ";
     ["with"] = "email@address";
     ["when"] = 1701804697;
     ["name"] = "request";
});

I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?

Thanks!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, I'm using this image:

https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/wordpress-nginx

I updated the compose file to have un/pw for mariadb:

  mariadb:
    image: docker.io/bitnami/mariadb:11.1
    volumes:
      - '/etc/docker/mariadb-persist:/bitnami/mariadb'
    environment:
      - ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=no
      - MARIADB_USER=admin
      - MARIADB_PASSWORD=admin
      - MARIADB_DATABASE=bitnami_wordpress

But I get this error:

2023-12-03 19:03:02 3 [Warning] Access denied for user 'admin'@'172.18.0.3' (using password: NO)

using password: NO??

Good morning all, in today's episode of "What I learned during work hours"...

I was playing around with wxHexEditor and realised that if something catastrophic happened, I would really struggle with any data recovery if I lost the inode tables for any drive.

A quick duckle pointed me to e2image, which says in the man:

It is a very good idea to create image files for all file systems on a system and save the partition layout (which can be generated using the fdisk -l command) at regular intervals


at boot time, and/or every week or so.

I couldn't find any prebuilt solutions for this online, so I wrote a systemd service and timer to do this for me. I save the fdisk to a text file, run e2image on a couple drives, and compress it all together in a dated 7z that can get uploaded via rsync or Mega or Dropbox etc.

The metadata image from a 500gb drive is 8gb, but compresses down to 40mb. Backup takes a couple minutes.

~~Unfortunately this does not work with my raid drives, but they are RAID1 so already resilient.~~

Apparently I was being a derp somehow. ...Anyways,

My RAID drives are 16TB, e2image of this is 125gb, and 7z'd it comes down to just 63mb.

I'll post the service, timer, and backup script in a comment, let me know if you can spot anywhere for improvements!

 

Again, please tell me if there is a better way to do this.

While testing docker, frequently I need to start/stop/rm containers. I got real sick of having to ls them and copy paste the container ID.

Using this alias, I just have to remember a single part of the name of the container, and I will get the container IDs that can then be included as part of another command:

$ alias dcl='_dcl(){ docker container ls -aq -f name="$1";}; _dcl'

$ dcl snikket
b3fcbc808cc9
1947885fbb24
054d67d2e8b9
d8fe9df5f61f

So now that I'm getting a list of IDs, I can easily, for example, pause all of them:

$ docker container pause $( dcl snikket )
Error response from daemon: container  is not running
Error response from daemon: container  is not running
Error response from daemon: container  is not running
Error response from daemon: container  is not running

The containers weren't actually running, but this shows the alias working.

dcl obviously stands for 'docker container ls'
