I like computers, trains, space, radio-related everything and a bunch of other tech related stuff. User of GNU+Linux.I am also dumb and worthless.My laptop is ThinkPad L390y running Arch.I own RTL-SDRv3 and RSP1 clone.

  • Just high school.I didn't manage to keep a good score during the first year, so I got kicked out, and I have to wait a year to get back as I have to go through admissions same way as a brand new student (and also none of my passed subjects will count except for English...).That was computer science.

    As for what I'd be interested to learn and get into, and why:

    • German (better job opportunities)
    • Ukrainian (I struggled with communication on a dorm as most students living there were from Ukraine)
    • Linux Kernel development (Mostly due to interest in mobile Linux.)
    • Software reverse-engineering (Could help with above, static malware analysis, and just overall curiosity.)
    • Assembly - RISC-V, ARM, AMD64 (The above 2 points, as well as having more control over what software does.)
    • C++ (Making my own GUI programs utilizing Qt. I'd also like to modify cdimage to generate shorter tracks, improve the UI and integrate it into K3b. I think it should be possible to put it into pregap on audio CDs (K3b already has support for that bit), as well as combine it with data in "Mixed mode" CD.)
    • Digital signal processing (Due to my interest in SDRs.)
    • RF circuit and antenna design (For UHF and above.)
    • Mobile telecommunications (sharetechnote.com has some interesting info, and I'd like to understand it and know more)
    • QEMU (I'd like to at least partially replace my reliance on VirtualBox and be less stupid around Proxmox)
    • Management of BSD and Solaris (NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenIndiana, Oracle Solaris)
    • Networking (We did CCNA in high school, but it got boring, especially with no purpose aside from national competitions I attended thrice. I need to revisit CCNA-level info and move up higher.)

    I don't think that's a complete list, just what's on my mind.

  • And very disappointed in myself.

  • Nothing. Even if I was 100% sure about receiving it, $1M isn't all that much.Buy a house then, save what remains, keep going as I was.

  • wayward kernel stuck between your teeth

    If it at least were a Linux kernel.

  • I don't know what I did wrong, but now it works with losetup.So that would be solved.

  • in only 5 billion years our sun will expand and engulf all the inner planets including the Earth

    Somehow, this scares me.

  • Linux @programming.dev

    Weird setup: Proxmox VE on laptop with KDE Plasma desktop and windows from guests connected using Waypipe (GUI programs can seamlessly run in their own VMs)

  • Even if they are perfectly good

    Could that perhaps be an issue of stupid licensing? With, smart licensing, or whatever, if the license is non-transferable, then the hardware is basically an expensive paper weight.I've heard Cisco used to give out Meraki devices for free on some events, because without a license they were totally useless. Until someone figured out how to run OpenWRT on them.

  • Yeah, I already tried losetup unsuccessfully, but thanks anyway.

  • Linux @programming.dev

    How could I make Linux acknowledge partitions on something that shouldn't have them? | Messing with packet writing on RW optical discs (or whatever remains of it)

  • The world sucks right now for employment you might as well take a shot at a dream job because you never know what happens!

    Well, I absolutely could get training for position of train driver.Except...As far as I know, you have to agree to a contract to work for that company for at least 5 years.Otherwise, I'd have to pay them back for that training. How much?I don't know what it's now. First I heard from someone, they mentioned it being EUR 21,000. But recently I overheard a train driver talking to a coworker about the training costing EUR 31,000.Either way, in a country where the minimum wage is EUR 5.26/h... OOF.

    Although I'd have to ask for official information, as this isn't mentioned in the advertising they do.But it would explain the eternal shortage they seem to have.

  • Sorry if I wasn't clear, I am not. I am just usually imagining what happens in edge cases. Since I am in an English study programme (I honestly find English easier in relation to IT) I get the same information the foreign students do.And I can see how fucking shitty it is.The problem is they didn't even translate the instructions to English, and further only gave them a 12 hour window until the deadline to figure things out. Ironically, the instructions highlight to really think about the decisions you make with the subjects selected (some expect prior knowledge you may not yet have). Think about it when? There's also limited number of students to be accepted for each subject on a first-come first-served basis. Basically, a game of battle royale, but there were no instructions, and the game has already begun.

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    People without college degree, what do you do?

  • A fox. It (I don't know whether male or female) was in a city. It didn't seem too fearful of people, so I tried following it. When we got to a darker area it sat down, and so did I.

    When it got up, I followed it, ending up on volleyball playground. With sand. The fox started running around in it. I noticed it would kick some sand, then jump there.So I squat down, and threw a handful of sand to the side. This did work. It approached me to arm's reach, but would spring away at any movement. I accidentally scared it off when the fox circled very closely around me and I turned around - I was worried about getting peed on. Foxes do that a lot.

    Some 40 minutes later, I lost it at a construction site.

    I completely lost the sight of it after I circled around to enter there.

    Anyway, not a picture, but I also have some bit of video:

    All is B&W because I used IR camera. I don't know how much of that foxes see, but I hope it's at least far less than if I used regular flash.

  • Try it in a (proper) computer. I've had a phone complain, but it mounted on Linux. And after whatever magic fsck.fat does, it mounted on phone too.I also had a SanDisk fail read-only.

  • Thing 3 spice vnc is built in

    Waypipe proxies separate windows, not the whole display. It's pretty cool. Just looks the same as local programs, but running on a different machine.
