How to safely manually trigger a kernel panic? in c/[email protected]

@ColdWater You could write a small kernel module that just triggers one as soon as it's loaded

@Lexam It's election day again, so I get to be suspicious of everyone around me who are trying to get me killed.

@6R1MR34P3R Some of the LILYGO devices are great for use straight out of the box. I have a T-Echo as my portable device, the T-Deck Plus is also an option if you want something completely stand-alone rather than controlled over Bluetooth or USB. Note that the 868MHz band is more widely used due to congestion on 433MHz, (915MHz is for the Americas and isn't legal here)

@iii @6R1MR34P3R Depends on how good of a setup you want, but you can start for less than €50.

Can the US government force Canonical and Red Hat to disallow downloads and development from non US countries? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

@gi1242 The US government, not Red Hat themselves.

@xavier666 Given that Canonical is a British company, that's not something that could happen at all. Red Hat is anyone's guess given that the law doesn't really mean anything to them any more.

@Emmie @Scary_le_Poo That depends on the ISP, there's still some out there that will give you one for free.

@walden @Scary_le_Poo Only if the reverse proxy has its own login on top of Jellyfin's, and even that only mitigates some of them.

Recently had a short trip to Amsterdam by myself. This was the experience travelling without pre-booked assistance, but while wearing a sunflower ID card and lanyard.

Manchester T1 Departures

I arrived at a quiet time for the airport with the security queues at a minimum, clear instructions were given to all passengers on how to arrange items in the tray to reduced the need for a manual check. After passing security there is a forced through the duty free shop to reach the main departure lounge, once there a "sunflower room" is off to the side with subdued lighting.

Amsterdam Arrivals

Navigating from the gate to the baggage hall was slightly confusing due to ongoing building works with portable signs contradicting the permanent ones in places, however the first of these did have a staff member helping with directions. At passport control I was instantly recognised and directed from the main queue to the "aircrew, diplomats, and disabled" lane, this was very helpful as there were only 2 officers on duty despise a flight from China being ahead with its passengers needing extra documents to be checked..

Amsterdam Departures

I had decided to make a booking with the free security timeslot service available to all passengers, this has no one else at all at my selected time allowing me to proceed directly to the merge point with the main queue. As they have the advanced CT based bag scanners in use this was much faster with no need to remove liquids and electronics from the bag. Passport control was once again the same, being directed to the express lane. While there is no dedicated quiet room in the departure hall there is a small gallery from the Rijksmuseum, which of course requires dimmed lighting to protect the paintings within.

Manchester T1 Arrivals

Fortunately we arrived at a gate on the good side of T1 that prevents conflict with other gate boarding, (unlike the Netherlands the UK does not allow arriving and departing passengers to cross paths). At passport control I was once again directed to the dedicated assistance lane.
