  • Similar setup here. Orangepi zero that starts kiwix server at boot and switches the wifi to AP mode. Just plug it in, connect to kiwix WiFi, access kiwix.local via phone browser, and shazam.

    Also, loop me in. I have almost no free time at the moment but I'm building up a list of FOSS projects to work on when I retire.

  • Doh : (

    At least we have a valid excuse for not adopting fingerprint biometrics... Minor bright side, I guess.

  • Every time work pushes to use 100% biometrics I have to argue and get an exception.

    I've got form of eczema where two to four times a year all the skin on my hands flakes and falls off... There are weeks when I have no fingerprints.

    They've only brought up facial recognition once and I said it didn't work reliably due to my skin color and facial hair. I have no idea if that's true, never tried it, never will, but they didn't pursue it any further.

    I always enjoy throwing out the "if you force that, there will be about two months a year where I won't be able to login... That's up to you, but you have to document it so I can forward it to my manager and make them aware". Unfortunately they haven't forced it yet.

  • No, silly, 25 years ago was nineteen seventy... Wait.

    26 years later and my brain still default counts back from 2000. Stupid brain.

  • Same. I quit whatsapp the day after facebook bought it. Switched to signal and never looked back. The few people I talked with on whatsapp moved too.

  • It's always fun trying to find the next one when the previous goes out of range on road trips. Yes, we could look it up on a phone, but it's more fun to guess each station genre as quickly as possible.

  • Jellyfin critical security update - This is not a joke

    Jump

  • You're correct.

    The only time I can think of that this approach wouldn't work is if the quadlet config file specified a tag/version on the image setting besides latest. That is, if the quadlet file specified something like Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:a_old_version. I usually stick with latest on mine.

    EG: Image=docker.io/jellyfin/jellyfin:latest

  • Thank you for posting this. I tend to get a lot of my opensource project info from Lemmy so people who take the time to post it are awesome.

    Just updated my home instance. Can confirm that 10.11.7 is available in the Debian repos and the update went perfect. I got a new kernel in the same update : D

  • Sony Shuts Down Nearly Its Entire Memory Card Business Due to SSD Shortage

  • I've been dreading the new computer as well. I built the original incarnation of my current one in ... holy shit, late 2013. I was thinking 2016 but I just looked up the order and it was 2013. I did it pretty damn "top of the line" because I wanted it to last ages. I have occasionally upgraded or replaced drives, GPU, RAM, power supply, but I'm still on the original board+CPU.

    It's still great... running Linux and occasionally gaming.

  • A lot of people seem to think I'm we're crazy for not getting a new phone every year or two. Previous one lasted 7 years, this one is at a bit over 5 years... It's fine.

  • Question to the people of lemmy that got a pp. After peeing do you wipe your pp with toilett paper or do you do the shake and dance?

  • Yep.

    Also shout out to "Desperation", great book.

  • The one I work at went "all in" about a month ago. I started noticing a dramatic increase in garbage/nonsensical code at the end of last week. I didn't make the connection between the two until Tuesday.

    I've got a manager that usually listens and they asked me to try it and take notes because they know I'll tell them the truth. ... I've got a lot of examples prepped for our next meeting.

    The hard part is definitively blaming LLMs because I don't have time to track down every single commit and analyze it for LLM usage but there's 100% a correlation.

  • Been awhile since I used this since I rebuilt my home server a few months ago but it was solid when I was running it in the past (as a pod in k3s)

    I need to add this to my list to re-add...

  • Looking for a printer. Whats your opinion?

  • Like other posts - brother, laser.

    My ancient HP laserjet died a few months back so I picked up a brother. It amazed me that I just plugged it in (Linux) and it worked. No hplip, no cups config, just worked.

    Even more impressive, I tried the network/wifi print out of curiosity and it also just worked... Nothing special, Debian 13 auto discovered it on the network and added it to my printer list.

    I had the HP for over 15 years and it was always a bitch to get working with Linux. Hoping this brother lasts at least as long.
