Squid are pretty awesome too. More alien than crabs IMO as well.
Crabs are kinda like big tasty water-spiders.
That's because you're using LVM though. In most distros you could also use something like:
/dev/vg/root
Mine was, as is my P7, especially compared to a lot of competing devices from Samsung etc
Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.
We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident
Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".
Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.
I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.
This happens in other countries as well. I've been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.
Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop
Aside from the lift, there may be use cases for the truck where it requires moving multiple people and smaller heavy loads (or pulling a trailer). However, the sad reality is that the heaviest load it'll likely be moving on a regular basis is the fat ass of the solo passenger in their way to/from fast food and groceries
Yeah there are a few games that you can try the demo on Steam but you'd think that'd be a more common thing. With full digital, it's even easier then the old shareware methods
Because water heating with heat pumps is currently garbage on the residential scale.
Also because we're already stressing electric infrastructure with what we use now, and few plans to add capacity in any reasonable amount to deal with the massive increase in population, plus electric cars, AC during heat waves etc let alone home heating.
Gas is efficient for heating, and there's plenty of other stuff we can and need to look at before we replace that.
LoL. Well across multiple cities in multiple provinces I've yet to see that. The only time lawyers were involved was when they severely fucked up (i.e. like the one where members were trying to skim funds or give contracts to friends/family), and the best "review" they tended to get off bylaw drafts were by the associated property management company, who were often far from professional.
LoL. I'd say the same but then you've probably already seen your naturalpath for a prescribed regimen of essential oils and healing crystals
Yeah, it would have to be a proper install that balances stuff like this but if it went to court the council would likely also need to prove that it was creating an actual issue for the property/residents
I've been in several stratas including multiple councils, and seen several taken to the courts part bullshit bylaws and lose. One strata actually tried to restrict people's ability to have a non-married partner overnight. That... did not go over well as it became obvious that the real target was senior members intent on driving out younger residents, as well as a bit of power-tripping.
By that same notion, yeah they can absolutely fine somebody for damage to common property etc during installation, and I've seen that happen (i.e. one resident knocked bricks out of they chimney to side-vent a gas-fireplace install) but an outright ban on AC installs when we're seeing growing heatwaves could likely see a successful challenge for personal health and safety reasons among others. Just depends on whether the resident has the time and resources to fight it.
I can understanding not altering common property, but banning AC entirely is bullshit and quite likely a bylaw that wouldn't hold up to scrutiny.
Or how bumblebee did an "rm -rf" on uninstall without a quoted path, which ended up nuking important directories
Honestly I think it's generally more of a bus driver issue, because it seems more tied to the motherboard than a given device
Yeah, I've had more than a few chipsets or periphs that worked on Windows, and worked on Linux but were.... quirky, especially when dealing with stuff like suspend states etc.
For USB3 in particular, I've found many storage devices or adaptors like to drop out partway through an longer copy process on Linux (like they'll be fine for copying a smaller amount of data, but the controller or device would reset during longer ones). This didn't seem to occur in Windows, but I'm pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it's some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn't account for in the more generic driver
Yeah, I've had a few sellers among a lot of orders try to pull a fast one, but by-and-large they've been good and the few that arrived bad I did get refunded for. The main thing I'd say is to be careful of things that plug in but don't meet electrical code in your country (Amazon is getting bad for this as well) as that's definitely some janky stuff you can find
Yeah. I'll admit I got a bit excited at the idea that Blackberry might consider entering the mini-computer market and make a pi-type device.
Yeah, was gonna say: it's not just the competition, spams, scams, and trolls are a real issue.
(sorry in advance for the long post)
What I'm looking for:
Basically, without a lot of work to setup and maintain a Domain/Kerberos server, what's the best way to provide consistent logins and remote folder/share (from a server) access across various Linux desktops
---
I've configured domain controllers using Samba. I've also configured Linux systems as domain-joined hosts. Between the two I tend to find that keeping talking - especially for systems that are only on infrequently - can be a bit troublesome. Updates sometimes break the Samba server, tokens expire, etc etc
I've also used NFS of various versions, but found v4 with the Kerberos implementation a bit finicky (for similar reasons to the SMB based implementation). NFSv3 of course is fairly fast and efficient, but lacks the user-level authentication and relies on IP's for access-control.
---
Now it's been awhile since I've given a shot at this except for some NFS shares between VMs and SSHFS for desktops, it would be nice to have a consistent but easily maintainable way to provided common shares for larger files (videos, albums, 3d models, and projects etc) without having to constantly troubleshoot. Maybe the domain/NFS route had gotten easier but it still seems to be fairly manual at times.
One of the problems with having switched over a number of relatives to Linux is that I'm "the guy" when they have issues, and I can't always get over to help them in a timely manner. A lot of the time most stuff is working just fine and it's just a matter of popping into the desktop and fixing a bad link or a naughty plugin that's slipped into Chrome etc, but it DOES require being able to see what they see.
Windows has a system where you can "request assistance" and then provide a code for access at which point it shares your desktop. There are similar systems where one can get a link in email and click it for support.
I'd like to find a system that I can host myself to allow users to queue up for support at which point I can pop into their system, without needing to open ports on their routers or using something hackish like forwarding a VNC port to an SSH server etc
Has anyone seen anything in terms of locks that could be used for smaller doors etc. For example, a drawer/cabinet style lock or something that might work for bifold closet doors etc. Also setups that could be used to automatically slide out a drawer.
I'd like to create some "secret drawers" as well as be able to lock out stuff like the "candy/snack drawer" as certain members of my household have poor impulse control and like snitch candy then not easy their dinner
(Yes I've tried hiding it, putting it up high etc, but they're sneaky and automation is more fun)
Does anyone use X11 forwarding with Android devices, so that they can access their UI apps remotely?
If so, what apps do you use and what issues have you run across?
There's a "MobaXterm ssh" app and while I do love that app on other OS's it doesn't seem to be made by the same company so I don't really trust it
While I quite like the ability to broadcast TTS, media, and other such things to Google Nest or Amazon Alexa devices, I'm trying to rein in my HASS setup so that it doesn't send data to our require cloud services.
Does anyone know of or recommend a wireless speaker service that can accept broadcast/streamed/sent audio without needing an internet connection. Bonus if it has a microphone that can integrate with something like a local Genie instance for accepting voice commands (without cloud processing)
I'm not sure if we're allowed to ask questions on this sub. It seems mostly news articles but I figured I'd give it a go.
So Bruce Power in Ontario is planning to build the world's biggest nuclear plant in the world (by expanding on an existing plant).
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/ontario-new-nuclear-build-1.6897701
BC is more well known for hydroelectric, but that particular source hasn't really been greatly expanded on in decades and site-C is pretty controversial.
This got be thinking:
How do we in BC feel about nuclear power? Would you support one near where you live? Why or why not, and what other power options would you prefer?
Can anyone recommend a good place to get parts for a homebrew system (available to Canada, at a reasonable price).
Full disclosure, I'm actually looking to build a large 3D scanning system but in terms of movement of the camera heads, I've been looking at my printer and thinking that it could use a similar configuration though on a slightly larger scale (rails, with a wheeled+track system for horizontal and large spiraled cylinder for vertical) , but I have no idea where to source these sort of parts.
Any ideas?
Does anyone know where to find some good measurements of performance differences between common distros (with like hardware and config).
I'm interested to see if some perform better than others due to optimization etc
I'm looking for a wall switch that I will take Tasmota firmware (so a ESP82XX chipset generally) but can get easily sourced and aren't a huge pain to reprogram.
I'm totally cool with soldering some serial jump points from the board of the appropriate Rx/Tx/GRND/3.3V and pin0 are readily available, but try to avoid stuff that requires soldering the chip itself.
I used to be able to get Globe etc dimmers from Costco that were flashable via the old OTA Tuya-Convert method, but that seems to be a thing of the past and I just need a regular ol' non-dimmer switch which is easy to find and access the required pins these days.
If there are switches which take 110VAC but don't output power, that's even better as some I'm just looking to supplement devices already have power but are inconvenient to access
