My pre-UEFI system can boot from a USB drive.

Most still-functional ones can.

Look up MX Linux. I don't know if it'll specifically meet your needs, but it'll run on a toaster and I haven't been able to break it.

Did they let you take it home with you, so that you could use it to make sausage?

All of them are biased. The question is whether they report with awareness of their bias, or if they try to hide it by claiming to be unbiased.

Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before" in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

It's not about lying down, it's about de-escalating.

That can be a touchy subject, so a little bit of humility helps prevent hurt feelings.

Yeah, this exactly. She has context in mind that she didn't communicate with you. She may not realize you don't know her context.

Best thing is to say something like, "I'm sorry for saying the thing you said was sexist. I'll try to avoid making sexist remarks. But I'm not sure what was sexist about it, and I want to learn why so that I don't do it again."

Whether or not you think you owe her an apology, starting like that may help prevent her from getting defensive. That way, you can have a clearer conversation about it.

Whether or not it was actually sexist, she clearly had a reason for believing it was. And, agree or not, the reason is real to her.

Help making system wake up to keyboard (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello! New to Bazzite, and have a system running great. There's just one thing I'm having trouble with: I want the system to wake up from a sleep state when it detects signal from a keyboard/mouse.

I tried following this guide: https://askubuntu.com/questions/848698/wake-up-from-suspend-using-usb-device

It seems straightforward enough, and even though that's Ubuntu, I saw buses were set to "disabled." So I tried writing the rc.local, but it still won't wake up, even though the devices have power.

Am I missing something? Or can anyone point me to a better reference? Thanks in advance.

Tried out my new soldering iron tonight. (sh.itjust.works)
 

Worked on a friend's AC power adapter, the cord had gotten cut. Just a simple two-wire cord, nothing too complicated.

Didn't do a perfect job with the heat shrink tubing, but still made good connections and it'll be safe to use.

Wish I had upgraded my soldering iron sooner. The old one didn't heat nearly as evenly as this one.

As an added bonus, it literally looks like shit, too!

As I sat there, at my desk in my office, the sun slowly sank from high in the heavens; soon, nightfall would bathe the landscape in blue-black darkness, smothering the world outside my window. (sh.itjust.works)
 

I sat there for a long while before the crying began, resonating up from beneath the creaky floorboards - and I smiled, a toothy grin slowly spreading across my face... because I knew my work was only just beginning.

Work-in-progress DSi "GB Macro" (sh.itjust.works)
 

Had nearly all the parts lying around, so I put this thing together.

I wanted to add stereo speakers, but it's hard to find good wiring diagrams for such a niche thing. So, mono for now.

The motherboard has a bad cartridge slot. So I designed and printed a custom speaker holder that fits into the cartridge slot. All pressure fitted, no glue.

Everything works so far. Just waiting for a new shoulder button/SD slot cable, so I can finish it up and load up some GBA games. :)

LXLE still good for older devices? (sh.itjust.works)
 

A few years ago, LXLE was my distro of choice for older hardware.

I haven't used it in a while, and now I'm trying to revive an HP Stream (AMD/4GB RAM/32GB SSD).

Anything else I might want to try first, or is LXLE still considered good for lightweight/feature rich?

And that it's genetic, so that it's passed down to all his descendants; and that all people who marry into the family also have it happen to them
