Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

If only I could forget all the dumb shit I do or say...

I thought they still heavily utilized ff code.

This made me imagine people hiking around in short shorts with stiff and shiny legs.

Tuck your pants into your socks, this makes it much harder for them to get to the skin. And if you wear lighter color pants they'll be easier to spot so you can grab and incinerate the little shits.

You can probably also get some nexguard plus! Jk thats for animals. They really should get something like that for peoples too though.

Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn't seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I'd believe google would try to crap on that too though.

Is that android auto or wireless android auto?

Neither do Samsung, the jellyfin app works great on Samsung after the annoying process of installing it, but can't put a VPN on it that I'm aware of.

I know this is necroing, but i've had one of "the perfect water" systems going on 2 years. The under the sink system can have UV light to reduce potential bacteria. Its reverse osmosis and multi stage, with a mineral stage. It has a staging tank thats pressurized so you get decent flow for like 3 gallons of water or something like that. It can have an attachment to go to your fridge even.

Literally the best water I've ever had, I'd never go back.

Changing filters is a little annoying, but you do it once a year and it took me all of 10 minutes. The reverse osmosis filter is every 2 years. You only ever put bleach on the tanks nipple like once a year and less than a spoon full. The longest part was draining and refilling the tank like 3 times to get the filters and tank primed after filter change.

They do whole house filters too.

I prefer distros if available, but in some cases the version in the distros can suck. A solid example, and this could 100% be user error, but I used aur to get Picard on my tablet, but there was no app menu bar. Like at all, no window settings in the world made a difference, and the global menu didn't show anything either. So I couldn't change settings at all. I removed the aur package and installed the flatpak, everything worked no problem.

Flatpaks are okay, but due to laziness, I'm not proficient with making them interact well with each other.

App images can be great, but also annoying depending on how your system handles them. On a Debian based machine it would "install" the app image as if it were a normal app, and in some cases even check for updates. In garuda I have to manually go to the file and execute it each time. I'm no Linux master, so I could probably do something in garuda to make it work similar to Debian, but I only have one app there that I care about and I'm lazy...

I don't like snaps, they seem finicky to me.

If the Dev has their own recommended source, package, or whatever I try to stick to that. I.e. if they say their focus is on an app image, but aur has it, and there's a flatpak, and x y z options, I'll try the app image, and if that does what I need it to, I stick with it. If they recommend snap I try to find another app or another option to install.

Never used it, GUI has done all ive needed it to.

I have an old Aruba and it works great. The GUI is a bit meh, but considering ive only had to use it once the past like 2 years, owell.

 

Hi All,

I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard. Hoping for some advice. I used to have a Corsair K70 Pro, but unfortunately that no longer functions. I've been using a crappy dell keyboard from work and have finally been annoyed enough by it to buy a new keyboard.

I've considered going with another K70, but corsair doesn't give a shit about linux and I'm kicking windows outta my house. While I could emulate or build a vm, I'd rather just get a keyboard that doesn't make linux an afterthought if thought of at all. What I like about the K70 is that the keys aren't shrouded making it super easy to

Wants are:

  • 100% full keyboard
  • Ideally no shrouding around the switches, minor shrouding would be okay.
  • A passthrough USB port on the keyboard for a mouse, to minimize wires and simpliy cable management.
  • Hotswap switches
  • Full Linux support
  • Backlit (ideally RGB, but I"m not doing any fancy profiles, just a solid color)
  • Media keys nice, but I can live without them.
  • Ideally not much more than $200

I'd prefer prebuilt, but at most minimal soldering would be acceptable, as long as it's nothing too small, my soldering skills are an embarrassment.

I've looked at the following already.

Ducky All models I saw shrouded the switches. seem shrouded.

System76 Cost seems excessive and I don't really want a 96% keyboard.

DasKeyboard & Keychron The models pretty much all shroud the switches too much, or they're low form factor.

The DasKeyboard 5QS comes close, and I might just go with it if I don't have a better option, but it's got more shrouding around the switches than I like. It also doesn't seem to have a secondary USB port.

I just saw this as well. I really like the bigger one on the left, would just need to be a full keyboard, maybe an additional USB port on the back as well. https://lemmy.ml/post/10016605

 

So I'm on plex scanning my library to get new videos added and they show up briefly then quickly disappear. So I looked into logs and plex is spitting out a boat load of permission denied logs.

Background: my plex is a vm in proxmox with its data in a cifs share stored on my truenas scale box. This has been working great for years.

I go take a look on my truenas scale dataset and sure enough, the acl is wonky.

I used to have plex as owner and group as well as permissions for several other users. Now the owner is polkitd which seems to be a service used in Linux for policy auth and permissions. Obviously I'm no Linux master, but i can fiddle.

Anyway the user I use to mount the share is no longer in the acl. Somehow it can still mount the share though?

So question, who the f is this polkitd, and who the hell do they think they are messing with my plex time?

More seriously, is there a reason polkitd would take ownership or modify an acl like this? Where would I look in logs for this?
