Biden tells ally he is weighing whether to withdraw from 2024 race: Live updates
  • Here's my problem with Biden stepping aside...

    Who takes his place? The Dems have had zero primaries with strong contenders, there are few people with name recognition that would do a decent job/have the broad support to beat Trump.

    What are you going to do, put up Kamala? Do you know how much that world get the rage vote turnout from the racist and misogynist Republicans?

    There's just no good alternatives that I can see.

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • Yeah, I may catch flak but I wouldn't be inclined to ditch windows altogether. Unless you literally only do web browsing on your laptop, there's a high likelihood you may run into a few things that need troubleshooting to get working under Linux, and dual being able to switch back to Windows seamlessly is a huge help/comfort.

    If you can find the model number or service tag, that would be a big help for troubleshooting.

    There should be a sticker under your laptop with a bunch of tiny text, or if I recall correctly you can use System Information. See this article

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • There should be a a button that you can press repeatedly to open up a boot menu - it can be the delete key, f2, etc.

    Depending on how new your laptop is, you may need to disable something called "Secure Boot". Keep in mind if your windows installation is encrypted with BitLocker or whatever else Windows is using these days. If it is encrypted, and you have secure boot enabled you may run into issues booting back into Windows - it will freak out that secure boot was disabled and require your encryption key.

    At least, that's what happened with my ROG Zephyrus M16 - I had to find my BitLocker key to boot into Windows and then decrypt it using the settings menu.

    Also, if you want to be able to use both Windows and Linux - see if your laptop has an expansion port for a second hard drive. Windows historically has screwed over dual booted Linux grub with updates, and if you can just boot to a entirely different drive that won't happen.

    I think SMART goals are one of those rare times where an HR course writer unintentionally hit on something that some people need to hear. There's a junior engineer on my team whose goal was just, "I want to get better at infosec" - not measurable, time boxed, etc. by trying to at least hit one or two of the guidelines, they were able to flesh out this goal into things like "I want to attend a major security conference this year" and "I will study for, and achieve my Security+ cert".

    It worked for them - and helped them clarify their broad nebulous goal into smaller specific and achievable goals - but obviously like all business/hr things SMART goals aren't for everyone.

    Self-hosted YouTube frontend with some additional features

    I've been running Viewtube in my homelab for my family after the actual YouTube started misbehaving. Was it because I use Firefox? DNS adblock? Unlock origin? Who knows!

    I absolutely love that with Viewtube I can make the front page only my subscriptions. It seems to be relatively low on resource usage as well.

    But lately, the lack of features is starting to get to me - namely closed captions and "Add to queue".

    Are there any other self hosted options that are more feature rich in this regard?

    Suggestions for Linux Distribution

    I've been quite happy with my Steam Deck - both as a gaming console and as a secondary computer when it's docked, but for newer titles I picked up a Rog Zephyrus M16 (2023) last year.

    Now that Windows is going off the deep end with AI, I'm looking to dual boot/trial Linux on this laptop with the goal to give Microsoft the boot.

    It's a beefy laptop:

    • 13th Gen i9-13900
    • 32GB Memory
    • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
    • 1TB NVMe (Windows)
    • 2TB NVMe (Linux)

    I added the second drive to avoid any issues with dual-booting with Grub/Windows Bootloader - instead making the Linux device the primary boot device and spamming Esc if I want to change to the Windows drive.

    For distributions, I'm most familiar with Debian/Ubuntu - it's the daily driver for my work laptop, and the vast majority of my home lab VMs are Ubuntu. With the Steam Deck, I started to get more into Arch with the Steam Deck, and now it's the OS of choice for my HTPCs for simple streaming/Plex media player. I've also messed around with ZorinOS (basically a fancy skinned Ubuntu).

    I need some advice on what to throw on this laptop - and some suggestions on how to squeeze the best performance out of this (Optimus vs. Proprietary NVIDIA vs. Open source drivers).

    Current state of my Lockport journey

    Almost all of my own padlocks have been picked, save for just two, the ABUS 64TI/40 and the Master lock LOTO. Still relatively new to the tubular lock game, so the yellow Urban bike disk brake lock as also eluded me.

    I found getting the two cut away locks helped immensely - the American helped me really hone in on how over setting pins feel, and the Sparrow (after disassembling and putting in some of their advanced driver pins) showed how I was accidentally picking more than one pin with my older/bad technique.

    If anyone has suggestions for the Titanium or LOTO locks, I'm all ears!
