How fucking stupid
  • I've traveled to Italy many times, vacationing. I live in a country where schuko is dominant and I've never had to use an adapter. These are all old legacy plugs, I bet you can still buy them to replace existing plugs, I don't know, but I've stayed in hotels and rented rooms (staying with people basically) and I haven't even put any thought into it.

  • Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts
  • Not putting in a 3.5mm jack says enough. They sell Bluetooth earbuds I wouldn't call that "fair". It leads to more landfill. Phones with 3.5mm jacks also have BT, and don't start about USBC singles, that's more to buy and more landfill when they inevitable break.

  • AGAIN
  • I have a much lesser ww3 vibe than when the Ukraine thing started. It hasn't even crossed my mind but it keeps popping up everywhere. Perhaps I'm missing something crucial here.

  • Looking for a theme that looks like this

    This is giving me warm vibes, so I'd love to find a theme that is like this. Does anyone know any? I'm using GNOME, but any DE that can pull this off is fine.

    Config for SMB share so I can connect with Win11

    I have a SMB share on a computer. It's set to anonymous access, meaning I don't have to enter a password to access the shares. All my PC's at home are Linux so this has served me for many years. I now have a Windows 11 laptop from work that refuses to connect to this device. The message it gives me is you can't access this shared folder because your organization's security policies block unauthenticated guest access

    I have tried adding a new share that requires authenticated access, but Windows keeps giving the same error.

    I have changed the protocol settings to be higher, but they had no effect. Here is my current config:

    ``` #======================= Global Settings ===================================== [global]

    protocol = SMB3_11 client min protocol = SMB3 client max protocol = SMB3_11

    workgroup = REDACTED.HOME

    server string = SAMBA

    map to guest = bad user

    hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.

    printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = no

    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

    max log size = 50

    security = user

    #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [smbshare] path = /mnt/share public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes browseable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 printable = no guest ok = yes

    [smbshareauth] comment = Authenticated share path = /mnt/share read only = no public = yes

    ```

    This config still works for my anonymous share on my Linux machine, but (still) not on Windows 11 with the authenticated share. Removing the anonymous share from the config and leaving only the authenticated share does nothing for Windows 11, still same error.

    Protocol before was

    protocol = SMB3 client min protocol = SMB2 client max protocol = SMB3

    I tried to connect to \\\\192.168.1.5\smbshareauth but that gives the above error. Help is greatly appreciated!

    Button to invert image colors

    I would love to have a button on images in Jerboa that would completely invert the colors of an image. My retinas keep getting burned when I'm opening a post on my dark themed phone that is of a white image with text. It would be great to be able to view/read the image this way.

    PS double tapping an image zooms it in waaaay too far. It should zoom to 100% size. My biggest pet peeve when trying to enlarge images.

    Time management tools in GNOME

    Has there been any mention of time management tools getting built in into GNOME? I thought I read something a short while ago that would land in one of the next versions, but I can't seem to find anything about it anymore. It had some sort of pomodoro timer as part of it and I thought it was a neat feature to look out for. Can't seem to find it anymore though. Perhaps it was a GNOME Circle post?

    Need to clone 16GB partition on 128GB disk to 32GB disk

    I'm not coming up with a lot of useful (clear) results when searching for a solution to this issue.

    Is it OK to simply dd the 128GB disk to the 32GB disk using count to stop after the 16GB partition was cloned?

    A bit more context: I had to clone a 16GB eMMC and only had a 128GB SD around. Now I purchased a 32GB eMMC and want to clone it again. The partition holds a root filesystem for an ARMv8 device. I don't have the 16GB eMMC anymore, that would have been the easy way out.

    DNS (systemd-resolved) not working on Arch Linux ARM

    I'm trying to troubleshoot this DNS I have on a small old Odroid C1 board.

    I have set up a static IP, but cannot get DNS to work. The image comes with systemd-resolved by default. I have notes that said to set a static IP, then disable systemd-resolved, and after a reboot the DNS would work, but that didn't work. I've looked into systemd-resolved a little bit, and have configured the DNS servers manually, which is required when using a static address.

    My gateway is also my DNS.

    Here is what I believe to be relevant output:

    /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network: ``` [Match] Name=eth0

    [Network] Address=192.168.10.44/24 Gateway=192.168.10.254 DNS=192.168.10.254 DNS=1.1.1.1 ```

    Output of resolvectl status and some pings: ``` [root@alarm alarm]# resolvectl status Global LLMNR setting: yes MulticastDNS setting: yes DNSOverTLS setting: no DNSSEC setting: allow-downgrade DNSSEC supported: yes Current DNS Server: 1.1.1.1 DNS Servers: 192.168.10.254 1.1.1.1 Fallback DNS Servers: 1.1.1.1 9.9.9.10 8.8.8.8 2606:4700:4700::1111 2620:fe::10 2001:4860:4860::8888 DNSSEC NTA: 10.in-addr.arpa 16.172.in-addr.arpa 168.192.in-addr.arpa 17.172.in-addr.arpa 18.172.in-addr.arpa 19.172.in-addr.arpa 20.172.in-addr.arpa 21.172.in-addr.arpa 22.172.in-addr.arpa 23.172.in-addr.arpa 24.172.in-addr.arpa 25.172.in-addr.arpa 26.172.in-addr.arpa 27.172.in-addr.arpa 28.172.in-addr.arpa 29.172.in-addr.arpa 30.172.in-addr.arpa 31.172.in-addr.arpa corp d.f.ip6.arpa home internal intranet lan local private test

    Alternatives to systemd-resolved welcome, just need it to work.

    edit:

    The solution was to add DNSSEC=no in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. I learned this by running journalctl -u systemd-resolved -f, which said DNSSEC validation failed for question google.com IN A: failed-auxiliary.

    Help troubleshooting issue with Mega Drive controller

    I have a "Professional control pad PRO-2" (this one https://segaretro.org/Konix_Power_Pad), but unfortunately it does not work.

    When I open it up and toy with the contacts I can get all the buttons to work at the same time, and indefinitely, by bridging the start button contact with a single piece of metal. The 3 lights will go on and stay on, and the game will keep receiving start repeatedly. I have tested this with Virtua Racing, it will start the game, go through all menus and then when the race starts it will pause and continue repeatedly. When I touch both sides of the start button contact with a multimeter it does nothing.

    I don't know much about electronics, but I would like to repair this controller.

    Here are pictures of the inside of the controllers.

    I'm not seeing anything wrong, and the capacitors don't look leaky, but I could replace them. How can I best proceed?

    Sega "Gold Cartridge" in Master System

    Hi, I'm looking for info on the compatibility of the "Gold Cartridge" with regards to the Master System. I was looking at one of these and it says on the box that it's made for the Mark III and Master System. However, the form factor is different than other Master System cartridges, and it's also nothing like a Sega Card. I've been looking for information online, but to my surprise I'm not coming up with any answers.

    Are the Gold Cartridges compatible with (EU) Master System consoles? Do they fit in the cartridge slot?

    What kind of switch is similar to my current keyboard

    I have an old Logitech UltraX Premium low-profile scissor switch keyboard. Unfortunately this one's dieing, as one of the keys is now broken.

    I'm not well versed in mechanical switches and I'm not native English, so some of the explained terminology is a bit harder to understand when I'm looking for the subtle differences in the switches.

    I'm looking for the right switch that is somewhat similar to my current keyboard. On any given key I can apply some pressure, but the key will not press down. When I push a little harder, the key goes down to the bottom. What kind of switch am I looking for in this case? Linear, clicky, "tactile bump", ...?

    I'm currently interested in the Keychron K5. It has similar dimensions with regards to height of the keys (around 2cm) and is a full layout.

    Thanks in advance.

    Software management for Windows Server

    I have 15 VM's running for clients and I'm looking for a way to keep the tools up to date without having to connect to each server and do it manually. A few examples are WinDirStat, Firefox, SSMS, Filelocator, etc.

    We have expanded recently and I'm at the limits of doing this manually. These servers are not domain joined and are in separate virtual networks.

    Where are the PINE64 monthly community updates?

    It's been a while since they've made one.

    I have a PineTime and my wife wants one too, so I was looking to see if there's any mention of a PT2 on the horizon, as well as catch up on all the hardware news, but to my surprise there hasn't been any news since april. Not a big deal, it's only a few months, but still, they used to provide monthly updates. Skipping an update can happen, but they basically skipped 3 months since the last one. What's going on?
