Sure but if they break, it's a more expensive repair, one that I may be able to do myself whereas replacing a mirror or mirror housing isn't that hard.

I want less computerization of cars, personally. Or at least a repairable, customizable, and FOSS system, if I have to have computers in my car.

I'd try and get my work to switch, but apparently Zebra thermal printers (of which we have so many) don't work well with CUPS, you may be able to do some weird shit to make them work but iirc it wasn't too viable for a large scale operation.

I'd wager a lot of companies do use things that just don't work too well on linux yet, not that they couldn't work it's just that none of the people smarter than me who make linux happen have worked on it yet, and until they do it's just what it is. Before we want to capture the enterprise market we need good easy to use thermal printing software, CNC software, laser etching software, stuff like that. It can be done too for at least most things I'm sure.

Well that was nice of google to help lol. Good luck, I hope you can get them to switch!

Like the plaque on your teeth?

Or did you mean plague, you (to borrow a page from your own playbook), fucking idiot?

Neither of which is an actual turn of phrase, btw. The phrase you wanted is (ironically, because of the plaque) "it's like pulling teeth with you." If you're going to be a smug dick at least be correct so you don't embarrass yourself any more than you already do by simply being a smug dick.

I was able to get two people on Delta so far, it seems easy enough for normal people to use, so there may be hope yet!

Tbf the rest of them are unloaded, that one likely is too. Iirc it's federally illegal to fly with ammo anyway, at least when you fly commercial you can't for sure.

But yeah still use two hands, look less stupid lol.

I used plenty of open source software before I switched, sometimes, VLC is just the best program in it's class. Also makes the jump easier when you already mostly use FOSS, and makes the windows user want to switch more. Baby steps can be good for sure.

I think it's a cheap way to heighten the scary, to give you the feeling that you have no clue what you're fucking doing but scary shit keeps happening.

LOL does my dude has a ~14.5-16" AR with no stock because his Miami Vice cerakote job is on the buffer tube? That's certainly a choice, it's got a can on it already, just SBR (or regular length BR tbh) it.

And way to hold that handgun like you've never even seen TV, c'mon lmao.

I can't speak for them, but personally I've been moving away from matrix entirely for a few reasons.

Element was always a buggy mess on my phone, and a shitty electron app on my laptop.

It was too difficult for normals and while I disagree, they wouldn't use it. What's a chat app without contacts after all?

While element was bugging and I was awaiting an update, I found out that the Matrix [.] org foundation was started as a project at Amdocs, then when it was defunded the lead of the project created the foundation. Amdocs is fucking sketchy, they're associated with mossad and have infiltrated the US telcom networks. Now look, I'm not saying they backdoored matrix, but they did do the other thing and backdooring a chat app would be right in line with their entire schtick, and I'm just too fucking paranoid for that, straight up. It also leaks metadata like piss to any server that federates with yours so if mossad is working with the matrix org, they get all of it just by your server federating with the largest, "official" server. To some degree, metadata seems inescapable, but almost anyone is better than mossad.

They also have a bit of a CP problem in their public rooms so stay out of those, but don't worry due to that problem they removed searching for public rooms so you have to know the addr to join, so they make it hard to stumble into them, but also now you can't search for public rooms which is a hinderance if you did want to join, say, the rasberry pi room, despite the risk of cp being posted.

BUT they don't require phone numbers!

So for now I'm trying out Delta Chat, seems alright so far. No video calling though.

But yeah maybe that whole Amdocs connection to the "official server" is what they were referencing, but if not I'd like to know their reason!

Well, "obsolete." Unless your average home invader starts employing nanobots in their crimes guns will still be useful, just not against state level threats that can afford nanobots. Of course, those threats already have f-35s or whatever number we're on now so guns are already of limited effect there.

 

So I have two SSDs in my laptop running FedoraKDE, and every time I mount the one used for storage, I have to type the luks password and then my root password. So, looking it up, I found that to not need root to mount the drive I need to add it to fstab.

I added (as was told by the internet since I'm flying by the seat of random stackoverflow help in absence of real knowledge):

UUID=uuid-string-goes-here   /path/to/directory ext4 defaults 0 0

To fstab (and forgot to chown the directory, oops!) and rebooted, aaaaaaand now I get booted into "emergency mode" with root disabled and have no clue what to do.

I think I used the right uuid, it was nvme0p1 (or whatever that drive said the right name was, can't check now!) In any case, I didn't use the uuid of the drive my system was running on, for sure.

Boot hangs on

job dev-disk-by\x2duuid- [Something something]

Edit: Still taking any advice on how to actually not have to use root to mount this drive, though my boot issue is solved and it looks like I have some links to peruse already!

Such a sweet kitty. Still pretty hidey, but coming along and opening up. She's play biting me now and it's so cute. Still hisses sometimes when she sees me but still doesn't mean it. Her leg is healing up so good that I never put the cone on her, I think part of the licking was stress which I've removed as much as possible. Picture to follow here.

Rescue from my warehouse (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/cat@lemmy.world
 

This little scaredy cat got into the warehouse in which I work, and someone had to save her so I did. I recently asked about integrating her into my house with my 2y old cat.

So far, she's been quarantined in a separate room, she's got a bite on her foot I wasn't told about that looks partially healed, but still not great, and so I'll have to figure that out first. I have a cone on the way to stop her from licking at it until I can get her to the vet (who was supposed to email me yesterday...c'mon guys kitty need help!) Unclear if the bite came from one of the dogs inside the warehouse, or (lord I hope not, but...honestly I think so..), the raccoon she was spotted near a few days before she gained entry to the warehouse. I have a pic if anyone wants to see it, but it looks like a lil puncture wound (not exactly cute) so I'm only going to if someone requests 'cause they wanna help (as much help as that can be, need the vet for sure but advice is always welcome in the meantime!!)

She's terrified, but, that's probably normal? I mean, she's a wounded stray captured in a humane trap and then was fostered in a bathroom for a while until I got her in her own room. It's been like 26hr since I got her here, I'd be scared too. That said, she'll hiss and hiss but won't bite or scratch, when she hisses I'll pause and slow blink, then keep going, when I reach her she'll let me pet her, pick her up, starts purring and rubbing her face into the pets, y'know, cat stuff. So, pretty good? Idk! I've only adopted from humane rescues so far this is kiiiinda my first "found it in a dumpster" cat.

My tubby kitty, resident idiot... Idk if she's even noticed, despite the new kitten using her separate box (clearly "smells" involved there wafting under the door) and she definitely heard her meowing at me (begging for release into the wild) about 1h ago. Doesn't seem to care at all, who knows with this dingus! Maybe they'll become fast friends when they see each other, here's hoping!

Here's another pic, of her deciding I may not be so bad after all, of course she'll forget this next time I walk in...

Weird bug? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/meshtastic@mander.xyz
 

I just ran into the weirdest bug using meshtastic, I don't even know where to start searching for answers so I figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.

So, I'm using a t1000e in pocket/on the go and a heltec v3 in a window upstairs. Both are connected to MQTT on a local channel [State Redacted]Mesh. I've been home for a few hours now and neglected to switch from the t1000e to the V3, TX and RX the whole time from the t1000e. I just noticed and said "ah let me turn off the pocket and switch to the home node," switched over, and all the messages sent hours ago doubled up and got reposted to the mesh somehow just from switching nodes. I know this because the second I switched the room's bot posted a joke, and last person to call !joke was me, 7h ago, and when I commented on it someone said "yeah you just reposted something you said hours ago."

What the hell?! Any ideas? Problem started today afaik, haven't changed any settings. I don't want to spam the SRMesh with hours old messages for no reason lmao. I do not have store and forward on.

Edit: Forgot about this part!

The other weird thing is if I hit traceroute on someone from the SRMesh, nothing happens (but it should be "direct," because "mqtt"), I can do a bunch of them and nothing, but then when I switch nodes and back again all the traceroute windows pop up at once like 1998 popups. WAT.

Edit again: Guy in the mesh said "I had some weird shit going on once, not exactly this, but try deleting the app cache."

It worked. Didn't even have to delete storage.

Edit No. what, 3?: Spoke too soon, it's back, and it isn't just me. Turned off MQTT on all but one node, whatever.

 

Sorry I'm late lol, was sick as hell yesterday! New list is up, some good shit this week!

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #4 - Minor Threats always rules, I think I missed the other new one, I can't remember the name though.

Into The Unbeing Part Two #2 - definitely missed #1, part one was pretty weird, I'll continue it if In can without going online.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #7 - YES

Lucky Devils #3 - Just read the first two, I'm in. Two Devils (not the devil) upending their corporate underworld's structure. This shit is right up my alley.
