My desktop just shut down, and I'm not sure where to look for logs to figure out why

Hey guys. I've been having an ongoing problem with my desktop where, when it goes into suspend, it'll shut down instead of waking back up. Not a hard shutdown, either, but what appears to be a proper shutdown where everything gets nicely SIGTERM'd and everything.

Now, I'm saying all that just in case it's related to what happened today. I stepped away from my machine after having it play Youtube videos through the night and came back to it about an hour later to find that it had been shut down. There was no indication of an improper shutdown, either, since the usual "hey, you hard powered off and now your disk needs to be fsck'd" messages weren't there. The logs stop right before when I assume the shutdown happened, but there's nothing in them that really sticks out as a possible reason for why it would have happened.

Getting to the point, is there somewhere other than journalctl and dmesg that I should be looking to try and figure out what happened? I'm on Fedora 43, and I'm happy to provide whatever logs are necessary. I'm really hoping it's not a hardware fault, but I've had other problems that seem to indicate the PCIe port on my motherboard starting to go bad such as inexplicable static on one monitor and my GPU disconnecting whenever my cat jumps down from my lap too hard.

Help me I need tech support!

I apologize this is going to be a bit vague as I can't really provide specifics at the moment, but I'll try to do my best with what I know off the top of my head.

I recently picked up an old Dell Optiplex desktop from 2013 and refurbished it (new paste, switched out an HDD for an ssd etc) with the intent to sell it for a profit. It has no GPU, just using integrated graphics but I figured it'd be a great machine for basic web browsing and such. I figured I'd do an OEM install of Mint, but the only problem is the gui will not properly display after booting without nomodeset in the grub config. I don't feel like that's an ideal form for it to be in when I sell it to someone.

I've tried a couple different things to fix it, I made sure all the proper drivers are installed, tried i915 flags, I'm ashamed to admit it but I was turning to chatgpt for quick support and it seems to think that ivy bridge chips just don't play nice with up to date kernels. It suggested I downgrade to mint 21.2 so I can use a 5.15 kernel which would hypothetically work. I'm out of ideas so I might give it a try I'm not super knowledgeable, but I figured I'd turn to real people before going forward with that, I'd much prefer selling something running the current release.

The CPU is a Intel i5 3470. I can provide more precise specs and information that's helpful later when I can check. But for now I'm open to ideas if you've got em.

I'm not sure about your CPU but I've had times when similar issues play out differently on different distros (I guess due to differences in kernel buikdconf, modules, or drivers) so while it's a long-shot you could give that a go.

Try also the LTS and Zen kernel flavors.

I'd try Arch, Debian, Fedora (or perhaps some other rpm-based alternative that doesnt deprecate so quickly)

Like someone else said, anyone who hasn't had your exact issue will need logs and details to give more helpful advice.

Benefits of Charcoal Production for the Wood Processing Industry

The wood processing industry has long been a cornerstone of global economic activity. From furniture production to construction materials, wood is integral to countless products. However, the industry also faces numerous challenges, including resource waste, environmental impact, and the need for sustainable practices. One solution gaining significant attention is charcoal production, particularly through the use of a wood charcoal machine. This process not only helps to address waste but also offers a range of economic and environmental benefits for the wood processing sector.

The Growing Importance of Charcoal in Wood Processing

Transforming Wood Waste into Valuable Resources


Wood processing generates a considerable amount of waste, from sawdust and wood chips to bark and other by-products. Traditionally, these materials are either discarded or sent to landfills, contributing to environmental degradation. However, by employing a wood to charcoal machine, these by-products can be transformed into valuable charcoal, a versatile product with numerous industrial and commercial applications.

Charcoal production involves the thermal decomposition of wood in a low-oxygen environment, a process known as pyrolysis. This transformation of raw wood materials into charcoal not only reduces waste but also turns otherwise discarded wood into a high-value commodity. The charcoal produced can be used in various industries, including metallurgy, agriculture, and even as a fuel source.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact


The environmental benefits of charcoal production are substantial. By converting wood waste into charcoal, the wood processing industry can significantly reduce its environmental footprint. Traditional disposal methods, such as incineration or landfill dumping, contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, the pyrolysis process used in charcoal production is much cleaner, with lower emissions and a smaller environmental impact.

Furthermore, charcoal is a carbon-neutral energy source, as the carbon it releases when burned is part of the natural carbon cycle. This makes it a more sustainable alternative to other forms of energy, such as coal or natural gas. By incorporating charcoal production into their operations, wood processors can align with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints and promote sustainability.

Economic Benefits for the Wood Processing Industry

Generating Additional Revenue Streams


One of the primary advantages of adopting a wood charcoal making machine is the creation of additional revenue streams for the wood processing industry. As the demand for charcoal continues to grow, particularly in emerging markets, the ability to produce and sell charcoal can provide a significant source of income for wood processing companies.

Charcoal is in high demand across a range of sectors. It is used extensively in metallurgy for smelting and refining metals, in agriculture as a soil amendment, and as a fuel in cooking and heating. The global demand for these applications continues to rise, and by capitalizing on this market, wood processing companies can generate new business opportunities and diversify their product offerings.

Cost Savings and Resource Efficiency


Investing in a wood charcoal machine can also lead to substantial cost savings for the wood processing industry. Traditionally, wood waste is an ongoing cost for companies, requiring storage, disposal, or even transportation to external waste management facilities. By converting this waste into charcoal, these companies can not only eliminate disposal costs but also reduce the need for raw material procurement for their charcoal production.

Additionally, the use of charcoal in various industrial applications can help offset energy costs. Charcoal can serve as an alternative fuel in furnaces, kilns, and other high-temperature applications, reducing reliance on more expensive and environmentally harmful fuels. This not only helps to lower operational costs but also improves the overall efficiency of the production process.

Enhancing Product Quality and Market Demand

Improving Wood Quality and Marketability


Charcoal production can also enhance the quality and marketability of wood products. By utilizing wood waste for charcoal production, companies can free up space for higher-quality, saleable wood products. The pyrolysis process itself can also result in by-products, such as bio-oil and syngas, which can be further processed or used to generate energy for the operation of the wood charcoal machine. This integrated approach allows for greater resource utilization and efficiency, making the entire operation more sustainable and profitable.

The charcoal produced can also be marketed as a premium, environmentally friendly product. As consumers and industries alike become more conscious of sustainability, the demand for sustainably produced charcoal is growing. By positioning themselves as environmentally responsible producers, wood processing companies can enhance their brand image and attract eco-conscious customers.

Supporting the Circular Economy


Wood charcoal production fits seamlessly into the concept of the circular economy, where waste is minimized, and resources are continually reused. The waste generated by the wood processing industry is not only used to produce charcoal but can also be used in other ways. For example, the bio-oil produced during pyrolysis can be further refined into valuable chemicals, while the syngas can be used to generate electricity or heat.

By adopting such circular practices, wood processors can reduce their reliance on virgin raw materials, lower waste disposal costs, and contribute to a more sustainable economic model. This approach not only benefits the industry economically but also aligns with global sustainability goals, further enhancing the reputation of companies that embrace it.

Challenges and Considerations

Initial Investment and Technical Expertise


While the benefits of integrating a wood charcoal machine into wood processing operations are clear, there are challenges to consider. One of the main barriers to entry is the initial investment required for the pyrolysis equipment and the associated infrastructure. Pyrolysis plants can be costly to install and require specialized technical expertise for operation and maintenance.

However, as technology advances and the market for charcoal grows, these costs are expected to decrease. Additionally, government incentives and environmental subsidies may help offset some of the initial expenses, making it a more attractive investment for wood processors.

Market Volatility and Competition


The market for charcoal can also be subject to fluctuations in demand and price volatility. While charcoal has established markets, particularly in industrial sectors, competition from other energy sources and alternative materials can impact market stability. Wood processing companies must stay attuned to market trends and be prepared to adapt their business models accordingly.

Looking Forward: The Future of Charcoal Production in the Wood Processing Industry


As demand for sustainable practices and resource efficiency grows, the integration of wood charcoal production into wood processing operations will likely become more widespread. The benefits are clear: reduced waste, additional revenue streams, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. With technological advancements in pyrolysis systems and growing market demand for eco-friendly products, the potential for charcoal production in the wood processing industry is vast.

By adopting these practices, wood processing companies can not only improve their bottom line but also contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy. The future of charcoal production in the wood processing industry is bright, and it represents a key opportunity for companies looking to align profitability with environmental responsibility.

Is it just me or....

The way the US, Venezuela situation is playing out, from the operation to the subsequent procedurals, the theatrical production of it all, down to the bizarre US press conference... I lowkey can't omit the possibility of an orchestrated arrangement between the major players involved.

No US losses, not a single soldier? Not a wall of bodyguards around Maduro? The US has been saber rattling in the Caribbean for 4 months, Venezuela knew their administration was in danger... yet they didn't have any radars set up to detect air infiltration? All of the equipment shipped in from Russia and China leading up to this moment, no missiles that could've taken out those low flying helicopters? They capture Maduro AND his wife? Why his wife, it just seems an unnecessary liability to add to the equation.

Moreover, the photos of Maduro in capture, he didn't look like a despondent leader who was downgraded to a prisoner. He was smiling giving thumbs up. I get the need to project strength in such a situation but it still feels... off?

The US launched a bandit raid with an armada costing billions, after murdering 100s of civilian fisherman, kidnapped a president, took out his body guard...... but what they haven't taken over Venezuela? Right about now should've been when they start parading the turncoats of high up members of the VNZ military claiming they are the new govt. But nope, western media talks about it as if it's job done. Feels like a psychological operation to make us believe the US hegemony is alive and just as invincible as it's always been (however knowing that's not the case as US imperial decline has been evident for quite some time now).

Now whether this is soley just a US psyop or apart of a larger coordination with external players like Maduro/Venezuela and/or world powers that have economic and military means to retaliate against the US is a diff story.

China's response, considering what they have at stake with trade in Venezuela and Latin America, feels tepid even for them --- basically saying China's interests in VNZ will be defended by law. Really? Granted nothing's fundamentally changed in VNZ, everything's operating as it was so no need to respond economically/militarily. But again, given the gravity of the situation, their interests in the region... it seems strange to not send a powerful response and disrupt the US now.

When Trump was asked about China's response he simply states "no worries, Xi is not going to be a problem..." He could just be talking his usually ish or it's possible that the US advised the Chinese, "hey, we're going to do this operation w Venezuela for this reason. Don't worry, your shipments of oil and contracts will not be disrupted, etc"

Along with this, Maduro and select few of his rank conspire with the US, agree to Maduro being captured and cooperating ("but not without my wife!"), go thru the sham trial proceedings and later released to return to Venezuela in a few years... VNZ's govt is left intact with VP Delcy Rodriguez in charge. The US will not bring Maria Corina Machado in and VNZ contracts/trade is not to be disrupted. All of this is done under the cover of a US special military op so that they can justify being forced to provide a trade deal more favorable to the US under duress.

Otherwise Maduro's party, military, citizens could fracture and potentially revolt. Anything less than a deal that grants access to VNZ's resources via an exchange where the bulk of profits is reinstated back into the country + unadulterated sovereignty to trade with other countries without sanctions/interference is a risk...... and Any foreign companies extracting resources would not have a day of peace, the gorilla warfare would be on and bam, Vietnam x2

So... yeah, this is all speculation ofc. It's highly possible everything is as it appears on the surface and I have my tinfoil hat on too tight. Venezuela did suffer dozens of casualties... but given the alternative of all out US invasion where the deaths would be much higher and trade disrupted, one could see heads of state coordinating for a lesser of two evils outcome.

Regardless, everything seems so bizarre right now.

No US losses, not a single soldier?


7 soldiers were injured by shrapnel or gunshot wounds. There hasn't been any announcement of US deaths.

Not a wall of bodyguards around Maduro?


The Cuban government provided elite guards for Maduro. They announced that 32 of them were killed in the raid.

yet they didn’t have any radars set up to detect air infiltration?


They certainly did. Detecting aircraft doesn't mean you can do anything about it. This was a big operation with explosions all over the city. Many of those were knocking out air defenses and targeting air bases. Some of the aircraft used were stealthy and might have evaded detection before striking air defenses. 150 aircraft from the Navy, Air Force, and Marines were used.

All of the equipment shipped in from Russia and China leading up to this moment, no missiles that could’ve taken out those low flying helicopters?


I'm not familiar with China's military aid. But IIRC, Russia flew one transport plane with "air defenses" which is more of a symbolic gesture than a solution. Let's not forget that using advanced aircraft to strike deep within contested airspace is kind of the US military's whole thing. By the time the helicopters showed up, any air defenses that could have brought them down were already dealt with.

They capture Maduro AND his wife? Why his wife, it just seems an unnecessary liability to add to the equation.


Yeah idk. That is weird.

but what they haven’t taken over Venezuela?


...yet. My guess is that they learned from Iraq. In Iraq, they did the same kind of thing to Saddam and then took over and tried to run the country. That turned out to be a huge political problem for the US for decades. They want Venezuela to essentially be a vassal of the US, which they can do without directly running the country. Likely they are using the threat of doing this again to push Venezuelan politics toward giving concessions to the US.

Feels like a psychological operation to make us believe the US hegemony is alive and just as invincible as it’s always been


At this point you are purely reaching for conspiracy to fit things within your preferred narrative. The rest of your post is very conspiratorial. A lot of parties are kind of shocked at the moment and waiting for some of the dust to settle before taking concrete action.

US drops drug cartel claims against Maduro after invasion, kidnap

The US Justice Department has quietly scaled back its indictment of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, retreating from a central Trump-era claim that he led a drug cartel.

The original accusation, included in a 2020 grand jury indictment, portrayed the Cartel de los Soles as an organized criminal group allegedly led by Maduro and engaged in large-scale cocaine trafficking.

The claim became a central pillar of Washington’s pressure campaign against Caracas and was repeatedly cited to justify escalating sanctions and military operations.

Yet specialists in Latin American crime and narcotics have long noted that the “Cartel de los Soles” is not a verifiable organization but a slang term coined by Venezuelan media in the 1990s to describe corruption among individual military officials — not a structured cartel.

That distinction is now reflected in the revised indictment, released after Maduro was kidnapped by US forces. While it still accuses him of participating in a drug-trafficking conspiracy, it drops the claim that the Cartel de los Soles exists as an actual cartel, redefining it instead as a “patronage system” and a “culture of corruption” allegedly fueled by drug profits.

Question about VRR


 I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz processor and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT setup hooked up to a Samsung S90D as a monitor. Running Fedora KDE Plasma. I can enable 120hz and HDR from my settings but see no way to set VRR anywhere. It works with the Playsta

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7GHz processor and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT setup hooked up to a Samsung S90D as a monitor. Running Fedora KDE Plasma.

I can enable 120hz and HDR from my settings but see no way to set VRR anywhere. It works with the Playstation so I know the tv is capable. I asked AI a couple times just to get a rough idea of things I could try and tried the command

kwriteconfig5 --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key "VRR" "true"

but didn't recieve a response so idk if this worked or not. Is this going to require installing AMD proprietary drivers? I briefly read a little about that and it looks like the process is quite a bit above my current skill level.

I saw a dev post about disabling Multi Stream Transport on the monitor but I could not find this setting on my tv anywhere so I think this may be a monitor only setting.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated thank you so much in advance!

DanceMomsSavedMe

I've looked around but just haven't found many viable options for some I know that Alienware made one awhile back but no longer do it looks like the poster that replied to you on this comment though found a pretty sweet deal which is awesome. Just smaller than what I would be wanting.

I want one that's like 55"- 65" 120hz and has a display port and I haven't been able to find a single one they're all TVs full of spyware and no displayport options. (I have my current tv blocked on the router level from the internet)

I'd even just settle for a smart tv as long as it just had a display port. I might just have to switch to a monitor soon to get the most of my system. I would no joke be willing to save up and pay around 3K for a 55" to 65" monitor with 120hz and a displayport with no internet access. But they just don't seem to exist from what I've seen.

The Giant Warrior Pirates finally reunite with Luffy! Who remembers them! Which feels weirdly out of character, as he doesn't remember anyone, but then again, most people Luffy meets aren't 70 feet tall. And then he goes full Dodgers to try to strike Saturn out, which isn't really a Looney Tunes/Western cartoon trope. I think Oda just really likes baseball.

کانفیگ دم دستی خودمیزبانی ماتریکس + المنت


 هدف از این پست بی‌ربط به موضوع بلاگ، اشتراک‌گذاری کانفیگیه که خودم برای خودمیزبانی (سلف‌هاست) ماتریکس یا دقیق‌تر بگم Synapse استفاده کردم. که می‌تونه تو این شرایط کمک کنه تا ارتباطات داخلی و بعضا بین‌المللی حفظ بشه.

سعی می‌کنم تا جای ممکن همه چیزو خلاصه پیش ببرم چون وضعیت اتصال خودمم در حال حاضر بگیر نگیر داره. پس برای شروع فرض من بر اینه که:

۱. شما یه دامنه مثلا mysite.com دارید و براش یه زیردامنه به اسم matrix.mysite.com درست کردید.

۲. دسترسی به یه VPS با حداقل ۱ گیگ و بهتر ۲ گیگ مموری دارید.

۳. دامنه به VPS متصله و کارای معمول لینوکسی و ادمینی رو بلدید.

۴. داکر و کامپوز رو نصب دارید و کار باهاشو بلدید.

۵. کارای مربوط به SSL و TLS و این داستانا رو انجام دادید.

۶. یه وب‌سرور مثل Nginx نصب کردید برای ریورس پروکسی و کار باهاشو بلدید.

مهمی‌جات:
- هر جا هر چیزی رو می‌گم «فرض می‌کنم» خودتون براساس نیاز تغییرش بدید.
- هر جا هر چیزی داخل {} بود با مقدار مورد نظر خودتون جایگزینش کنید و آکولاد رو هم حذف کنید. مثلا https://{matrix.mysite.com} میشه matrix.blabla.com

خب حالا از اینجا به بعد شروع می‌کنیم.

چیزایی که مهمه بدونید رو توضیح می‌دم بقیشو برید خودتون تو مستنداتش بخونید. همین‌طور ترتیب و توالی کانفیگ‌ها رو هم رعایت نکردم چون این یه آموزش نیست و فقط می‌خوام بگم چه طوری خیلی سریع بیاریدش بالا.

من فرض می‌کنم دارید ماتریکس یا سینپس رو توی /opt/matrix/ کانفیگ می‌کنید. یه فایل docker-compose.yml تو همون فولدر ایجاد کنید. این چیزیه که من توش دارم:

یادآوری: مقادیر DB_PASSWORD، matrix.mysite.com، LIVEKIT_SECRET رو تغییر بدید.

یه توضیح کوچیک: می‌تونید نسخه جدیدتری از pg رو هم استفاده کنید. سینپس سرور اصلی ماتریکسه و livekit و jwt-service کار تماس رو تو المنت X هندل می‌کنن. اگه نمی‌خواید تماس المنت X رو رو سرور خودتون پشتیبانی کنید می‌تونید کلا کانفیگشو پاک کنید و هر جای دیگه هم اشاره به Livekit بود حذف کنید. در این صورت تماسا به سرور خود المنت منتقل میشه که فیلتره. تو این کانفیگ من سرور Turn هم دارم که با ترکیب Turn و Livekit تماس هم روی المنت و هم روی المنت X مقدوره.

ادامه بدیم…

یه فایل element-config.json تو همون فولدر ایجاد کنید و اینا رو بریزید توش و جایگذاری‌ها فراموش نشه:

تنظیمات ssl رو متناسب با شرایط خودتون تغییر بدید. اگه نمی‌خواید سرورتون فدریت بشه تنظیمات مربوط به اونو هم حذف کنید. من از synapse-admin برای یه سری کارای ساده مدیریتی استفاده می‌کنم یه پروژه ساده‌اس که می‌تونید اونو هم کنار سینپس داشته باشید (به کانفیگ لوکیشن /assets دقت کنید و به گیت‌هابش برای روش کانفیگش که خیلی ساده‌اس مراجعه کنید).

حالا کافیه یه docker compose up بزنید ببینید کار می‌کنه همه چی یا نه 😀)

اگه سوالی داشتید و من هم می‌تونستم بیام اینجا جواب بدم بپرسید.

Should there be something that installs Linux to disk directly from Windows?

Would it be possible to lower barrier to entry that low?
To the point where installing some Linux distro would be as easy as installing a game on Steam or installing an application on a phone?
There is existing software for installing Linux from Windows.
For example, old WUBI for installing Ubuntu, and linixify-gui (fork of abandoned tunic) apparently does this as well.

So question is, should there be some effort put into making a modern installer of this kind? Something that even the person with the smoothest brain can use to get Linux on their PC?

Are there any existing projects that try to make this happen?

I have a hard time imagining a less rewarding user-facing software to be maintainer of. That’s probably why there isn’t one.

Thousands of hours and being blamed for dozens of people softbricking their PCs (which they now probably lack the USB route to recover from) - all because writing an ISO to USB and rebooting is too much friction?

Disabling middle click paste by default makes sense for distros aimed at new users.

Middle click paste is a very useful feature for a lot of people, but new linux users are not those people.

I personally switched two years ago, and got several people I know to switch too. Everyone I know who switched (including me) was confused by middle click paste.

It's a hard to intuitively understand action (took me several months until I understood it took the selection for some reason) that is very easy to trigger accidentally, and that duplicates existing functionality.

The people who like it already know it exists, and could just toggle it on.

Of course, on distros not aimed at beginners, like say, debian, it should remain the default.

It's not in windows. It's also something that nearly every new user iv helped and taught to use Linux over the like 3 years has bitched about. And iv helped hundreds.

It's been a pretty disliked feature for as long as I can remember for new users. I remember seeing it pop up rather frequently even back in ye olden times of fourms asking how to turn it off.

It's just one of those old school things that people are use to so no one's ever really questioned it. And being Linux there's always been ways to turn off the feature.

Frankly Iv thought it should be disabled by default for like the last decade now. It's a nice option but it does really make very little sense.

M3 is for panning and having it play double duty as a secondary clipboard is annoying.

TLDR - try slowing down “bad” ram

RAM is tricky these days. When you buy “fast” ram - in my case 6200 dominator sticks - what you really are buying is ram that the manufacturer says can be overclocked to 6200 speeds. But this is shady at best. It is entirely possible for that ram to run fine in your rig, and fail miserably in mine - showing itself as errors in memtest. This can be a result of the motherboard or say your cpu - and nothing is broken. Not the chip, not the mobo, not the ram - they just don’t work together at those speeds. Two sticks can work just fine, and then fail when you add two more (for a total of four). I’ve even had sticks that were on the edge, works for a year, and then started giving me trouble.

Most people just RMA those sticks - which I support - if it’s marketed to run at those speeds, then they should run at those speeds everywhere. But if you have “bad” memory laying around that was out of warranty, and given today’s prices - it might be worth pulling them out and trying to run them a little slower. It’s not like you have to take them all the way down to 3200 and turn off the overlock. For example, on many amd rigs, 6000 is the sweet spot. My “bad” stick of 6200 immediately fails a memtest at 6200 (even running that single dimm), but infinitely passes at 6000 (even with 4 sticks plugged in). I can’t even tell the difference between 6200 and 6000.

So ya - try slowing those bad sticks down manually. It might only be a little bit of a performance hit, but at today’s prices, could save you $1000

You are telling people to break rule 4, which I find a reasonable one: "Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click"

It's a static HTML page with no JS. I think telling people that's unwelcome and that it's all-in on your platform or GTFO is what is poor taste. Maybe one day my blog will speak native ActivityPub if I bother setting up a non-static hosting for it.

I am not going to rewrite the whole post and have it maybe render poorly in your client due to handling inconsistencies and maybe be gone in 10 years due to platform changes just so you don't have to click. Just disable JS and image loading in your browser or read it with lynx or sth if you are concerned.

Lowering frequency is often the right solution and I do mention it in the writeup. I couldn't find any up-to-date, accurate and accessible info on how to safely keep running with actually faulty DIMMs and it's not obvious so I thought people might find working instructions helpful.

If you're still wary of using some old 3200 stick you have and can't or won't RMA, please sell it to me instead of binning it :3

Run `tor-browser` as another user ??

Hi,

I need to run Tor Browser as another user..

So here what I'm doing under, MX Linux ( Debian, SysVinit, xfce)

\#as root, in a terminal under xfce

useradd --create-home --system --shell /usr/sbin/nologin TorUser
# btw --system or not ?

tar -xf tor-browser-linux...tar -C /opt --totals
chown -R TorUser:TorUser /opt/tor-browser

runuser -u TorUser -- /opt/tor-browser/start-tor-browser.desktop

return
Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach'...


But nothing happen, and I don't see any process for TorUser

any ideas ?

Posted on the offical Tor-browser in June, but no reactions so far... :/


How run Tor-browser for a new user account?

Hi, I would like to run tor browser from another user… ( linux ) So I’ve did the following ( Under the latest MX Linux, within XFCE environment) # as root useradd -mc "To run tor browser only.

Thingiverse is great, but the real benefit of a 3d printer for me is the super-custom stuff. The gap between my kitchen sink and wall is pretty small, so I designed and printed a sponge caddy that sits in there perfectly, and drains into the sink.
My sunnies didn't fit into the holder in my car, so I designed and printed a little clip with a holder on it that fits in really nicely.

How Company Secretaries Can Be Your ESG Champions


 When developing an ESG program, having someone who understands the company's governance structure is invaluable. Company secretaries know who needs to approve what, how decisions are documented, and where accountability lies. Their deep understanding of t

When you think of a company secretary, what comes to mind? For many, it might be someone who organizes board meetings and handles the paperwork for annual returns. But in today's business world, the role of a company secretary is much more dynamic and strategic, especially when it comes to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives.

The Governance Link


ESG is not just about reporting; it's about how a company operates. Governance, the "G" in ESG, is a critical component that company secretaries are uniquely positioned to influence. Company secretaries manage the systems that support good governance. They organize board meetings, maintain records, ensure directors are aware of their duties, and track compliance deadlines. These functions create the infrastructure that allows ESG initiatives to move from concept to reality.

When developing an ESG program, having someone who understands the company's governance structure is invaluable. Company secretaries know who needs to approve what, how decisions are documented, and where accountability lies. Their deep understanding of the company's governance framework makes them essential in driving ESG initiatives forward.

Keeping ESG on the Board's Agenda


One common challenge companies face is the failure to follow through on ESG commitments. Often, this happens because there is no consistent tracking of progress at the highest level. Company secretaries, who control the board agenda, can ensure that ESG remains a priority.

They can schedule regular updates, flag missed targets, and ensure directors receive accurate and relevant information before meetings. This consistent attention is crucial for the success of ESG strategies, which often falter without sustained senior-level focus. By keeping ESG on the board's radar, company secretaries can help prevent initiatives from becoming mere lip service.

Documentation and Disclosure


Regulators and investors are increasingly demanding accurate, consistent, and verifiable ESG data. Company secretarial services, which include managing corporate records and regulatory filings, are directly applicable to ESG reporting.

Company secretaries can gather information from across the business, verify it, and present it in formats that meet external requirements. For instance, Singapore Exchange (SGX) listed companies are already required to publish sustainability reports, with regulations becoming more stringent. Company secretaries can coordinate this process, establish workflows for collecting ESG metrics, work with external auditors, and ensure that public disclosures align with internal data.

Policy Implementation


Turning ESG commitments into actionable policies is another area where company secretaries add value. They are experienced in drafting policies, getting them approved, and ensuring compliance.

Whether it's drafting environmental policies, creating codes of conduct, or establishing whistleblowing procedures, company secretaries can adapt their policy implementation skills to ESG initiatives. They can monitor compliance and report back to the board when issues arise, ensuring that ESG policies are not just written but also enforced.

Stakeholder Engagement


ESG strategies involve a broader range of stakeholders than traditional governance. Company secretaries, who already manage relationships with key stakeholders like regulators and shareholders, can extend their coordination role to include ESG stakeholders.

They can organize stakeholder consultations, handle ESG-related inquiries, and maintain communication channels to keep different groups informed. This holistic approach ensures that all stakeholders are aligned with the company's ESG goals, fostering a more cohesive and effective strategy.

Risk Identification


Company secretaries are not just paper pushers; they are proactive problem solvers. ESG introduces new types of risk, such as reputational risk from environmental incidents, legal risk from regulatory changes, and operational risk from supply chain issues.

Company secretaries, with their broad view of the business, can identify these risks early. They can flag unmet ESG commitments, alert directors to regulatory changes, and ensure that risk committees have ESG on their agendas. This early warning system is a critical component of effective governance, helping to mitigate potential issues before they escalate.

Why Entrust Stands Out


Not all company secretarial services providers recognize the connection between ESG and corporate governance. Many still view their role as purely administrative. Entrust, however, understands that modern corporate governance and ESG are intertwined.

Entrust's team goes beyond document filing to help companies build governance structures that support long-term sustainability goals. They provide ongoing support, helping to set up board processes, establish reporting frameworks, and create accountability systems that work. By partnering with Entrust, companies can ensure that their governance infrastructure is aligned with their ESG objectives.

Practical Steps for ESG Integration


To leverage your company secretary's support for your ESG strategy, consider the following steps:

  • Include ESG in board agendas regularly, not just annually. Have your secretary schedule these items and prepare briefing materials.
  • Establish clear ESG reporting lines. Your secretary should know who owns each piece of ESG data and how it flows up to the board.
  • Document your ESG commitments properly, treating them like any other corporate policy with proper approval processes and version control.
  • Create feedback loops. Your secretary should report back on ESG progress, not just collect data.
  • Connect ESG to risk management. Ensure your secretary has visibility into how ESG risks are identified and managed.


Conclusion

playerctl documentation redirects to slot machine game site?

I'm trying to access the documentation for the playerctl library.
According to the github page it is hosted on dubstepdish[.]org, which redirects (indirectly) to cdfstarfighter[.]com/gameinfo, which seems to be some kind of slotmachine game site?

Is it me or is that not intended?

edit: the documentation is available here.

You could try. There are lots of open issues and the last commit was 5 years ago. It may have been abandoned.

I looked up the site on archive.org, but they don't have any of the documentation pages archived. It looks like the documentation was just auto generated by gtk-doc, so you could clone the repo, install gtk-doc and generate the same documentation that was on the web site.

XPipe - A connection hub for all your servers: Status update for the v20 release

I'm proud to share major development updates for XPipe, a connection hub that allows you to access your entire server infrastructure from your local desktop. It can make your life easier when working with any kind of servers by eliminating many of the tedious tasks that come up when interacting with remote systems, either from the terminal or from a graphical interface.

It comes with integrations for SSH, docker and other containers, various hypervisors, cloud providers, and more without requiring setup on your remote systems. You can also keep using your favourite text/code editors, terminals, password managers, shells, command-line tools, and more with it.

Hub

It has been half a year since I last posted here, so there are a lot of improvements that were implemented since then:

Netbird support


You can now list and connect to devices in your Netbird network. This works via SSH and your locally installed netbird command-line client:

Netbird

Legacy system support


Up until now, the testing was done on relatively up-to-date machines that were not considered EOL. However, in practice, legacy systems are still used. The handling of older Unix-based systems has been greatly improved, especially when they did not ship with GNU command-line tools.

As long as you can connect to a system via SSH somehow, it should work now regardless of how old the system is. If you're into retrocomputing, feel free to give this a try.

AIX

HP-UX

AWS support


You can now connect to your AWS systems from within XPipe. Currently, EC2 systems and S3 buckets are supported, also including support for SSM. The integration works on top of the AWS CLI. The usage of the AWS CLI allows the integration to work very flexibly on any existing CLI setup if you already use the CLI. You can use any IAM access keys and authentication methods with it.

AWS

SSH keygen


You can now generate new SSH keys from within XPipe. The keys are generated via the installed OpenSSH ssh-keygen CLI tool, so you can be assured that the keys are generated in a cryptographically secure manner. This keygen right now supports RSA, ED25519, and ED25519 + FIDO2:

Keygen

Keys of identities can now also be automatically applied to systems, allowing you to perform a quick key rotation when needed:

Identity Apply

The process of changing the authentication configuration of a system is not always one simple step. So the dialog is a comprehensive overview of what is needed to apply a certain identity to a remote system, with various quick-action buttons and notes. This gives you still full manual control of what should be done and an overview of what is required prior to doing so.

Identity Apply Dialog

Network scan


There is now the option to automatically search the local network for any listening SSH/VNC/RDP servers and add them automatically as new connections. This also works for remote systems and their networks:

scan

VNC


Up until now, the internal VNC implementation of XPipe did a somewhat acceptable job for most connections. However, it is not able to match dedicated VNC clients when it comes to more advanced features and authentication methods. There's simply not the development capacity to maintain all of these additional VNC features. For this reason, there is now support to also use an external VNC client with XPipe, just as with any other tool integrations:

VNC settings screenshot

Split terminals


There is now a new batch action to open multiple systems in a split terminal pane instead of individual tabs. This action is only supported for terminals that support this, which currently includes: Windows Terminal, Kitty, and WezTerm. In addition, this is also supported when using any other terminal and a terminal multiplexer like tmux or zellij.

Split Action

This allows you to also use a feature like broadcast mode of your terminal to type one command into multiple terminal panes at the same time.

Split Terminal

Tags


You can now create and add tags to connection entries. This allows you to have a more structured workflow when filtering individual connections.

Tags

Other


  • Add support for flatpak variants of various editors and terminals
  • The nixpkg package now also supports macOS and has been reworked as a flake
  • Add support for nushell
  • Add support for xonsh
  • Several fixes to be able to run the application in the Android Linux Terminal app without issues
  • The entire interface has been reworked to better work with screen readers and other accessibility tools
  • Various many other small improvements
  • Many performance optimizations
  • A lot of bug fixes across the board


A note on the open-source model


Since it has come up a few times, in addition to the note in the git repository, I would like to clarify that XPipe is not fully FOSS software. The core that you can find on GitHub is Apache 2.0 licensed, but the distribution you download ships with closed-source extensions. There's also a licensing system in place with limitations on what kind of systems you can connect to in the community edition as I am trying to make a living out of this. I understand that this is a deal-breaker for some, so I wanted to give a heads-up.

Outlook


If this project sounds interesting to you, you can check it out on GitHub, visit the Website, or check out the Docs for more information.

Enjoy!

Question about an error recieved in terminal

(I am a beginner)
So I recently installed a fresh version of Fedora KDE Plasma after switching from GNOME Fedora because my understanding is that gaming is a bit better supported with KDE. (I switched because Cyberpunk wouldnt let me enable HDR even though it was on in GNOME settings and am on the journey of using gamescope and all that with this KDE install)

So the first thing I noticed is Discover absolutely WILL NOT let me download RPM versions of anything Flathub only even though I do have all third party repositories enabled. On GNOME I could just toggle a switch right on the software page to select which version of an application I wanted to install but no such luck here which is a bit of a bummer.

Normally I would use flatpaks but Steams flatpak requires me changing the udev rules for input and I dont think Im ready for all that quite yet so wanted the RPM version which I installed using the official fedora documentation to do so (docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/g…) and I did all of that and it did install however I encountered the errors in the pictures above and my questions are:

  1. Can I just ignore this with no issues to my system?

and

  1. Is this somehow related to KDE not showing me third party repository options?

How Much More Cost Will Latin American Contractors Incur Due to Incorrect Asphalt Plant Capacity Selection?

For road and highway contractors in Latin America, choosing the correct asphalt plant capacity is one of the most underestimated investment decisions. Many buyers focus on the initial price of asphalt plant(precio de planta de asfalto) equipment while overlooking the long-term financial implications of mismatched production capacity. Whether you are investing in a stationary batching line, a mobile asphalt plant, or a drum mix asphalt plant, the capacity decision will directly shape your project costs, schedule risks, fuel consumption, labor productivity, and even your ability to win future bids.

Why Asphalt Plant Capacity Is A Financial Decision, Not Just A Technical One


Capacity selection defines how many tons of asphalt mix you can deliver per hour under real working conditions. If your plant output does not align with your paving speed, haul distance, crew size, and climate constraints, you will pay for that mismatch every single working day.

In Latin America, this problem is amplified by long project distances, unstable fuel prices, seasonal rainfall, and a heavy reliance on rented paving teams. A wrong capacity choice is not a one-off error; it compounds into lost production, higher operating expenses, and reputational damage.

The Hidden Cost Of Undersized Asphalt Plants

Lost Output And Schedule Overruns


Assume a contractor in Colombia selects an 80 TPH plant for a highway rehabilitation project that realistically requires 130 TPH to meet paving targets. The paving crew can place 1,000 tons per day, but the plant only supplies 640 tons.

That 360-ton daily shortfall translates into additional project days. On a 30,000-ton project, this gap extends the project by nearly 20 working days. Each extra day increases costs in:


  • Paving crew rental
  • Equipment idle time
  • Traffic management and safety supervision
  • Temporary camp and generator operation


Increased Fuel And Wear Per Ton


Smaller plants often run continuously at maximum load. This operating mode increases fuel consumption per ton by 8–15 percent compared with a correctly sized plant operating at 70–80 percent load. Wear parts such as burner nozzles, mixing paddles, and belts degrade faster, raising maintenance budgets unexpectedly.

Higher Logistics Cost


An undersized plant forces trucks to wait longer for loading. Idle truck time in mountainous regions such as Peru or Ecuador is expensive, as transport fleets are often subcontracted at hourly rates.

The Hidden Cost Of Oversized Asphalt Plants

Capital Overinvestment


Now consider a contractor in Chile purchasing a 240 TPH plant for projects that rarely exceed 120 TPH paving demand. The difference in equipment cost between a 120 TPH and 240 TPH plant may exceed USD 180,000. That excess capital is frozen for years without delivering proportional value.

Low Utilization And Energy Waste


Large plants operating at 40–50 percent load are extremely inefficient. Burners are optimized for higher throughput; operating below design load increases fuel per ton and emissions, which can create compliance risks in environmentally strict regions.

Financing And Cash Flow Pressure


Oversized investments increase debt servicing pressure. In countries with high interest rates such as Brazil, financing a plant with 30 percent unnecessary capacity can erase the profit margin of an entire project cycle.

How Mobile And Drum Mix Plants Change The Equation

Flexibility Of Mobile Asphalt Plants


A mobile asphalt plant(planta de asfalto móvil) is particularly suited for contractors handling scattered municipal projects. Instead of installing a large stationary plant that sits idle between projects, mobile systems allow relocation with minimal dismantling cost.

However, mobility should not be confused with undersizing. Many Latin American buyers mistakenly assume that mobile plants are only for small jobs, while modern mobile systems can deliver 120–160 TPH reliably.

Continuous Production Of Drum Mix Asphalt Plants


A drum mix asphalt plant(planta de asfalto continua y discontinua) offers continuous production and lower initial investment compared with batch plants. For long highway rehabilitation projects with stable mix design, this type is often the most cost-efficient choice. However, if selected without analyzing real paving rhythm, even drum mix plants can be either underutilized or overloaded.

Practical Capacity Matching Method For Latin American Projects

Step 1: Calculate Real Paving Demand


Do not rely on theoretical paving speed. Calculate based on average daily paving hours, real paving width and layer thickness, and a weather downtime factor of 10–20 percent.

Step 2: Factor In Haul Distance


In Brazil and Peru, haul distances of 40–60 km are common. Longer distances reduce truck cycle efficiency, meaning your plant must have enough buffer capacity to avoid paving crew downtime.

Step 3: Select Capacity With A 15 Percent Safety Margin


Avoid both extremes. The ideal plant operates at 70–85 percent of rated capacity under normal conditions.

Real Cost Comparison Scenario


For a contractor in Mexico producing 60,000 tons per year:


  • Correct capacity: 160 TPH plant, annual operating cost USD 420,000.
  • Undersized plant: 100 TPH unit increases annual operating cost to USD 510,000 due to overtime, fuel, and maintenance.
  • Oversized plant: 240 TPH unit increases capital cost by USD 200,000 and annual financing burden by USD 35,000.

Over five years, the wrong capacity decision can cost between USD 350,000 and USD 500,000, far exceeding the original price of asphalt plant difference.

Conclusion


Incorrect asphalt plant capacity selection is one of the most expensive mistakes Latin American contractors make. Whether investing in a stationary unit, a mobile asphalt plant, or a drum mix asphalt plant, the key is not to buy bigger or cheaper, but to buy smarter. Capacity must be matched to real paving demand, logistics constraints, and financing capacity. Only then can contractors protect margins, stabilize operations, and build sustainable competitiveness in the region.

Local Builders Speak: Affordability and Value of Self-Loading Concrete Mixers in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia's dynamic and rapidly urbanizing construction sector, the adoption of self-loading concrete mixers is transitioning from a novelty to a topic of serious business discourse among local builders and contractors. Anecdotal evidence from the field suggests these machines are not merely seen as imported equipment, but as strategic tools that address specific, acute challenges within the local building ecosystem. The conversation centers on a pragmatic assessment of two intertwined concepts: true affordability and delivered value. For Ethiopian builders, affordability extends beyond the initial purchase price of self loading concrete mixer to encompass total cost of operation and the displacement of more expensive alternatives. Value is measured in the machine's capacity to unlock new project types, improve operational control, and catalyze business growth. This analysis synthesizes the prevailing perspectives from the local industry on how this technology integrates into Ethiopia's unique construction landscape.

## The Affordability Equation: Lowering Barriers to Mechanization

The primary appeal of the self-loading mixer for many Ethiopian builders is its role as a gateway to mechanization. Compared to the prospect of purchasing a separate batching plant, a fleet of transit mixers, and a concrete pump, a single self-contained unit represents a significantly lower capital threshold. This model of capital efficiency allows small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to make a transformative asset investment without untenable financial exposure. The machine consolidates multiple functions—loading, weighing, mixing, and limited-range placement—into one mobile platform, offering a mechanized solution where previously only manual labor or piecemeal outsourcing was feasible.

AS-3.5 self loading concrete mixer working in Russia's Altai Mountains

This affordability is starkly highlighted when contrasted with traditional methods for sites beyond the reliable reach of stationary ready mix plant. The alternative often involves the costly and logistically complex process of transporting ready-mix concrete over long distances, where a substantial portion of the fee covers transportation rather than material. In more remote or access-constrained locations, the only option might be entirely manual mixing, which is profoundly labor-intensive, time-consuming, and difficult to scale for volumes beyond a few cubic meters. The self-loader disrupts this calculus. By enabling on-site production from raw materials, it eliminates extraneous transport costs and dramatically reduces the physical labor burden, presenting a compelling middle-ground investment that balances upfront cost with substantial operational savings.

## Delivering Tangible Value: Operational Versatility and Business Growth

Affordability secures entry, but sustained adoption is driven by the tangible value derived from the machine's operational versatility. Ethiopian builders frequently cite its mastery over logistically challenging sites as a primary advantage. In burgeoning urban peripheries with underdeveloped road networks or on confined urban infill plots, the ability to produce concrete independently is transformative. The machine can operate in areas where standard mixer trucks cannot maneuver, processing aggregates from a local stockpile or bagged cement. This capability allows contractors to confidently bid on and execute projects in locations previously considered economically or practically untenable, directly expanding their market reach.

Furthermore, the self-loading mixer enhances a builder's professional capacity and competitiveness. It provides greater control over the production schedule, removing dependency on the sometimes-unreliable timelines of third-party material suppliers. This control translates to more predictable project pacing and improved client satisfaction. For a growing business, the machine also enables the efficient management of a dispersed portfolio of smaller projects—such as individual residential homes, small commercial shops, or rural infrastructure—allowing the contractor to move the unit between sites as needed. This agility maximizes asset utilization and creates a reputation for reliability and self-sufficiency, which are powerful differentiators in a competitive bidding environment. The machine becomes not just a production tool, but a marketing asset that signals operational sophistication.

## Beyond the Machine: Strategic Adoption and Market Transformation

The growing presence of self loading mixers in Ethiopia is instigating a subtle but significant shift in Ethiopia's construction sector dynamics. Their adoption is being facilitated by evolving financing models offered by local equipment distributors and financial institutions, making the technology more accessible through lease-to-own or installment payment plans. This financial scaffolding is crucial, as it enables builders to transition from purely labor-based contracts to asset-based business models, where they own the means of production and can capture greater margins.

On a broader scale, the technology is fostering a new standard for efficiency and quality in small to medium-scale construction. While not a replacement for large-scale industrial batching, it introduces a level of mechanical mixing consistency superior to entirely manual methods, potentially improving the structural integrity of smaller builds. As more builders integrate these machines, a ripple effect occurs: project timelines can accelerate, waste from material over-ordering is reduced, and the overall efficiency of the local construction value chain improves. For Ethiopian builders, therefore, the self-loading concrete mixer is increasingly viewed not as a simple piece of equipment, but as a strategic investment in business resilience, market expansion, and professional maturation. It represents a pragmatic step toward modernizing construction methodologies from the ground up, one batch at a time.

Possible to recover a deleted .zst file?

I accidentally deleted a zstd compressed image of a drive that I backed up. That drive has been put to use elsewhere, so is little chance I can recover the original partitions from it.

I immediately unmounted the backup drive I had the image stored on and it has not been written to since. It contains an LVM physical partition with a single LUKS encrypted ext4 volume.

I've tried using photorec on the ext4 volume, but it seems to be recognizing files that were inside the compressed image, and not the image itself. Text files that are "recovered" contain many invalid characters, and other filetypes are unusable.

While I could cut my losses now and move on without that backup image, I would prefer if I could recover it and the data inside. I've looked elsewhere across the internet, and haven't found any useful information regarding whether this is possible or not.

Sure mate, Germans are a superior people with not a single sociopath attracted to both children and power amongst them (unlike lesser people such as Americans), Epstein was a fucking saint and if he wasn't it was only an "amazing coincidence" that there were several members of Israeli Security Services photographed with him and if they were actually using his child sex ring to gather blackmail material they would only ever target America and Americans in power circles and never Germany and Germans in power circles and, besides, the entire concept of pedophilia is a massive conspiracy.

It could never be the case that both Israeli and American (the latter actually caught eavesdropping on Merkel's mobile phone some years ago) espionage services would love to have blackmail material on the politicians of the largest and wealthiest country of Europe and that Epstein's organisation was designed exactly to acquire such material on people in positions of influence and power in Western nations, even if it's actually entirelly logical and well within the kind of thing the espionage agencies playing the Great Game do (the most well known being how Russia's security services used sex honeypots to gather Kompromat for decades).

Any such ideas of state actors using sex (involving chidren or otherwise) to blackmail people in power in wealthy and influent countries such as Germany can only ever be "conspiracy nonsense" (except if that country is the US)!!!

[Help request] They say "don't break Debian" but apparently I managed to do it.

While trying to move my computer to Debian, after allowing the installer to do it's task, my machine will not boot.

Instead, I get a long string of text, as follows:

Could not retrieve perf counters (-19)

And the system eventually collapses into a shell, that I do not know how to use. It returns:
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
 - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait lomg enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

Alert! /dev/sdb2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

The system has two disks mounted:

-- an SSD, with the EFI, root, var, tmp and swap partition, for speeding up the overall system
-- an hdd, for /home

I had the system running on Mint until recently, so I know the system is sound, unless the SSD stopped working but then it is reasonable to expect it would no accept partitioning. Under Debian, it booted once and then stopped booting all together.

The installation I made was from a daily image, as I am/was aiming to put my machine on the testing branch, in order to have some sort of a rolling distro.

If anyone can offer some advice, it would be very much appreciated.

Do you happen to have any USB (or other) drives attached? Optical drive maybe? In the first text block kernel suggests it found 'sdc' device which, assuming you only have ssd and hdd plugged in and you haven't used other drives in the system, should not exist. It's likely your fstab is broken somehow, maybe a bug in daily image, but hard to tell for sure. Other possibility is that you still have remnants of Mint on EFI/whatever and it's causing issues, but assuming you wiped the drives during installation that's unlikely.

Busybox is pretty limited, so it might be better to start the system with a live-image on a USB and verify your /etc/fstab -file. It should look something like this (yours will have more lines, this is from a single-drive, single-partition host in my garage):

# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=e93ec6c1-8326-470a-956c-468565c35af9 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=19f7f728-962f-413c-a637-2929450fbb09 none            swap    sw              0       0

If your fstab has things like /dev/sda1 instead of UUID it's fine, but those entries are likely pointing to wrong devices. My current drive is /dev/sde instead of comments on fstab mentioning /dev/sda. With the live-image running you can get all the drives from the system running 'lsblk' and from there (or running 'fdisk -l /dev/sdX' as root, replace sdX with actual device) you can find out which partition should be mounted to what. Then run 'blkid /dev/sdXN' (again, replace sdXN with sda1 or whatever you have) and you'll get UUID of that partition. Then edit fstab accordingly and reboot.

I'd argue that if the plan is to run Debian testing it's at the very least beneficial, if not mandatory, to learn some basics of the terminal. Debian doesn't ship with sudo by default, so it's either logging in directly as root or 'su'. Instead of vim (which I'd personally use) I'd suggest nano, but with live setup it's also possible to use mousepad or whatever gui editor happens to be available.

I suppose it'd be possible to use gparted or something to dig up the same information over GUI but I don't have debian testing (nor any other live distro) at hand to see what's available on it. I'm pretty sure at least stable debian installs with UUIDs by default, but I haven't used installer from testing in a "while" so it might be different.

The way I'd try to solve this kind of problem would be to manually mount stuff from busybox and start bash from there to get "normal" environment running and then fix fstab, but it's not the most beginner friendly way and requires some prior knowledge.

Changing /etc/fstab only won't change anything if / can not be mounted. How would it pick up those changes? I think you are on the right track but missing the part with updating the initramfs.

C’est quoi l’UX design et pourquoi le libre aurait à y gagner en intégrant ces profils ?

Natouille

Quand on parle UX design, pas mal de gens en ont entendu parler mais ne savent pas trop ce que c'est. On pense souvent à de jolies interfaces, aux GAFAM, et on va souvent rétorquer que le libre n'en a pas besoin.
Or si on souhaite une adoption des logiciels libres à grande échelle, il est temps que réussir le mariage Tech - UX design.
Si, en voyant le terme “UX design”, ce qui vous vient en tête, c’est “la personne qui fait de jolies interfaces” ou “nan mais on n’a pas besoin de ça, on fait des outils pour des devs” ou si encore vous n’avez aucune idée de ce que c’est, alors cette conf est faite pour vous.

Herringbone Mosaics: A Timeless Choice for Modern Kitchens


 Herringbone mosaics offer pattern and texture without overwhelming a kitchen. They're practical, hide imperfections, and have proven their staying power. When you're ready to buy mosaic tiles, take your time selecting quality materials, plan your layout c

When it comes to kitchen design, few patterns can match the timeless elegance and versatility of herringbone mosaics. This classic zigzag pattern has been a favorite for centuries, and it continues to be a popular choice in modern kitchens. Whether you're renovating a small kitchen or updating a larger space, herringbone mosaics can add a touch of sophistication and visual interest without overwhelming the area.

The Allure of Herringbone Patterns


The herringbone pattern is renowned for its ability to create movement. Unlike traditional straight lines, the zigzag layout forms a V-shape that draws the eye across the surface. This subtle effect is particularly beneficial in smaller kitchens, as it tricks the brain into perceiving more space than actually exists. Additionally, the pattern breaks up monotony on larger walls or backsplashes, making it a versatile option for various kitchen sizes.

Functionally, herringbone mosaics are smart. The pattern's multiple directions help disguise minor imperfections in wall surfaces. Grout lines run in various directions, making slight unevenness less noticeable compared to a standard grid layout.

Ideal Placement for Herringbone Mosaics


Backsplashes are the most common application for herringbone mosaics. A herringbone backsplash not only protects your walls from splashes but also serves as a focal point. You can opt for a neutral color for a classic look or choose contrasting tones for a more dramatic effect. White subway tiles in herringbone are a timeless choice, as are soft gray tones.

Kitchen floors are another option, though larger tiles are recommended to avoid a busy appearance. Stick with ceramic or porcelain tiles that are rated for floor use, ensuring they are slip-resistant and durable.

Some homeowners also use herringbone on feature walls to define the space without needing a physical divider. This is particularly useful if your kitchen opens into a dining area.

Selecting the Perfect Tiles


When visiting a ceramic tile shop, you'll find that not all mosaics are created equal. Size is crucial; for backsplashes, tiles between 25mm and 75mm are ideal. Smaller tiles can be difficult to install and clean, while larger tiles may lose the mosaic effect.

Material-wise, ceramic and porcelain are durable options that handle heat, moisture, and cleaning products well. Natural stone, while beautiful, requires more maintenance and sealing.

Finish is another important consideration. Glossy tiles reflect light, making small kitchens feel brighter, while matte finishes are more forgiving with fingerprints and water spots. Choose based on your cleaning preferences.

When you buy mosaic tiles, look for sheet-mounted options. These pre-arranged tiles on mesh backing simplify installation and ensure consistency. Most suppliers offer standard sheet sizes that cover about 0.09 square meters per sheet.

Planning Your Purchase


Before you buy mosaic tiles, measure your kitchen carefully. Backsplashes typically run from counter to cabinet, which is usually around 45-60cm high. Multiply the length by the height to get your square meterage, then add 10-15% for cuts and breakage.

Visit a ceramic tile shop in person to see the true color and how light interacts with different finishes. Bring a sample of your countertop or cabinet color for comparison. Ask about batch numbers to ensure color consistency, and check return policies in case you overestimate your needs.

Timeless Color Strategies


Timeless doesn't mean boring. Neutral palettes are a safe bet, allowing you to change cabinet hardware, paint colors, or decor without clashing. The herringbone pattern provides enough interest on its own.

Two-tone herringbone, using alternating colors like white and light gray or cream and taupe, adds depth without being overwhelming. Ensure the colors are close on the spectrum to maintain a cohesive look.

Monochrome with texture is another approach. Using the same color with different finishes, such as matte and glossy tiles, creates subtle variation that catches light differently throughout the day.

Avoid trendy colors unless you're prepared to update later. Tiles are a permanent choice, so opt for timeless shades.

Installation Tips


Herringbone may look simple, but it requires precision. The angles need to be accurate; one degree off can make the entire pattern look uneven.

If you're hiring a professional, ensure they have experience with herringbone patterns. Ask to see photos of their previous work. A skilled tiler will dry-lay the pattern first to check alignment and make precise cuts.

DIY installation is possible if you're patient and detail-oriented. You'll need a good tile cutter, spacers, and extra time. Mesh-backed sheets help, but you'll still need to make cuts around edges and corners. When you buy mosaic tiles Singapore for a DIY project, also pick up the right adhesive. Kitchens require water-resistant thinset mortar, and your ceramic tile shop can recommend the appropriate type based on your tiles and wall surface.

Tools and Materials Needed


In addition to the tiles, you'll need:
- A notched trowel for spreading adhesive
- Tile spacers (usually 2-3mm for mosaics)
- Grout in your chosen color
- A grout float and sponge
- A level and measuring tape
- A wet saw or tile cutter

Invest in quality tools if you're doing the installation yourself. A wobbly level or dull cutter can make the job more difficult and affect the final appearance.

Maintenance Tips


Maintaining herringbone mosaics is straightforward. Regular wiping with mild soap and water keeps them looking good. Grout is the main concern, as it collects grime, especially near cooking areas. Seal the grout after installation and reseal annually to prevent staining and simplify cleaning.

For stubborn grout stains, a paste of baking soda and water works well. Let it sit for ten minutes, scrub gently with an old toothbrush, then rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dull tile finishes or damage grout. Stick with pH-neutral cleaners designed for tile.

Matching Herringbone with Your Kitchen Style


Herringbone mosaics adapt to various kitchen aesthetics. In traditional kitchens, pair them with Shaker cabinets and warm wood tones. Use cream or beige tiles with visible texture for a classic look.

Modern kitchens benefit from crisp white herringbone against dark countertops or cabinetry. Keep grout lines thin and precise for a sleek appearance. Industrial styles look good with gray herringbone and metal accents. Consider larger format tiles for a less busy look. Scandinavian designs love light wood and white herringbone, maintaining a clean, minimalist feel.

The key is balance. If your kitchen has ornate cabinets or busy countertops, keep the herringbone subtle with low contrast. If everything else is simple, you can afford a bolder tile choice.

Choosing the Right Supplier


A good ceramic tile shop can make the process easier. Look for shops that:
- Display tiles in realistic settings
- Employ knowledgeable staff who understand installation requirements
- Stock complementary materials like grout and adhesive
- Offer samples you can take home
- Provide clear information about tile specifications

Don't hesitate to ask questions. How water-resistant is the tile? What's the recommended grout width? Do you have installation guides?

Conclusion


Herringbone mosaics offer pattern and texture without overwhelming a kitchen. They're practical, hide imperfections, and have proven their staying power. When you're ready to buy mosaic tiles, take your time selecting quality materials, plan your layout carefully, and seal your grout. Done right, herringbone creates a kitchen backdrop that looks good now and will still look good a decade from now. That's the essence of timeless design.

PSA: Nvidia drivers 580 broke gaming on sway / wlroots for me

Gaming on Wayland, or more specifically sway WM, broke for me when updating to nvidia drivers version 580.

Reverting to 570 fixed the problem.

Card: Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti

What exactly happened: some games wouldn't launch at all (overwatch 2) while others had severe performance issues (Resident evil 5).

Those were the only two games I tried. Both ran through steam and Proton GE version 10.

Though I didn't test extensively, both games seemed to work fine on Xorg with nvidia drivers 580. So this confirms it's only problematic for Wayland.

The Hidden Dangers of Bypassing Grove Crane Safety Sensors: A Closer Look


 Grove safety sensors are not there to frustrate operators; they are there to ensure safety. Bypassing a sensor may seem like a quick solution, but it creates hidden risks that can surface at the worst possible moment. Protect your crew, your equipment, an

In the fast-paced environment of crane operations, every minute counts. When a fault occurs, the temptation to bypass a safety sensor to keep the job moving can be strong. However, on a Grove crane, this seemingly quick fix can lead to severe consequences.

Understanding the Purpose of Grove Safety Sensors


Grove cranes are equipped with multiple sensors that work together to ensure safe and efficient operation. Load pins measure the weight of the load, angle sensors track the boom's position, pressure transducers monitor hydraulic force, and limit switches confirm movement boundaries. All this data is fed into the crane's control system, which constantly assesses whether the crane is operating within its design limits.

When a sensor detects an anomaly, it's not trying to hinder progress; it's alerting the operator to a potential danger. Bypassing a sensor removes this crucial layer of protection, leaving the crane to operate without full awareness of its operating conditions.

The Temptation to Bypass Sensors


The decision to bypass a sensor often stems from pressure to meet deadlines. The crane worked fine yesterday, and the lift seems straightforward. The sensor fault appears minor or intermittent, leading to the belief that bypassing it won't cause harm. However, this approach is fraught with risk.

Intermittent wiring issues, dirty connectors, or worn components can cause nuisance shutdowns, leading to frustration. But these issues are symptoms, not the root cause. Sensors fail for a reason, and ignoring that reason can exacerbate the problem.

The Consequences of Bypassing Sensors


When a Grove safety sensor is bypassed, the crane loses accurate feedback. The control system continues to operate, but it's now making educated guesses. These guesses can be wildly inaccurate, leading to dangerous situations.

A bypassed load sensor means the crane can no longer confirm the actual weight of the load. A bypassed angle sensor removes awareness of the boom's geometry. A bypassed pressure sensor hides hydraulic stress. Each of these actions increases the risk of overload, instability, or structural damage.

The most terrifying aspect is that failure isn't always immediate. The crane may complete the lift, only to fail on the next one when conditions change slightly. This delayed failure can result in tip-overs and dropped loads, endangering everyone on site.

The Human Cost of Bypassing Sensors


Crane accidents rarely affect just one person. When a crane malfunctions, everyone nearby is at risk. Operators rely on the machine to warn them when limits are reached, and ground crews trust the crane to behave predictably.

Bypassing a safety sensor undermines this trust. Operators may believe the crane is within safe limits when it's not, and crews may position themselves based on a lift plan that no longer reflects reality. No schedule delay is worth risking lives. Many experienced technicians can recount accidents that began with the decision to "just bypass it for now."

The Financial Impact of Bypassing Sensors


Even if no one is injured, bypassing sensors can cause significant equipment damage. Structural components experience higher stress when limits are ignored, hydraulic systems run hotter, and bearings, pins, and welds fatigue faster. These issues may not be immediately visible, but they accumulate over time, leading to costly repairs.

Replacing a sensor is a minor expense compared to repairing a damaged boom section or slewing system. Bypassing sensors often masks the real problem, allowing it to worsen over time. Proper diagnosis and repair are essential to maintaining the integrity of the crane.

The Importance of Quality Replacement Parts


Not all replacement sensors are created equal. Grove systems are calibrated to specific sensor outputs and tolerances. Installing the wrong component, even if it fits, can cause inaccurate readings.

Using quality Grove crane parts is crucial. The sensor must communicate correctly with the control system. Off-spec parts can trigger false faults or, worse, provide readings that seem normal but aren't. A knowledgeable crane parts supplier can help match the right sensor to the crane model and serial number, reducing guesswork and preventing repeat failures.

The Legal and Liability Implications


Bypassing safety devices is not only risky but also potentially illegal. Many regions require cranes to operate with all safety systems functional. An accident involving a bypassed sensor can lead to fines, lawsuits, and loss of certification.

Investigations look beyond the immediate cause of failure to what was altered. A bypassed sensor leaves a clear trail, and the decision to bypass can have long-lasting consequences for operators, supervisors, and companies.

The Right Approach to Sensor Faults


When a Grove crane throws a safety fault, the correct response is to investigate, not to bypass. Start with the basics: inspect wiring and connectors, check for physical damage, and review fault codes and service documentation.

If a sensor is faulty, replace it with the correct part. If calibration is off, recalibrate according to Grove procedures. If unsure, consult with someone experienced in crane systems. This investment in time pays off in reliability and peace of mind. Temporary fixes often become permanent habits, while permanent fixes prevent repeat problems.

Conclusion


Grove safety sensors are not there to frustrate operators; they are there to ensure safety. Bypassing a sensor may seem like a quick solution, but it creates hidden risks that can surface at the worst possible moment. Protect your crew, your equipment, and yourself by addressing sensor issues properly. Use quality Grove crane parts, work with a reliable crane parts supplier, and keep the crane operating as designed. In crane work, shortcuts don't save time; they just delay the consequences.

#diDAY - Raus aus der digitalen Sklaverei!


 Sind wir Sklaven von "BigTech"?

Ein Leben in der Sklaverei ist nie gut, auch nicht digital. Trotzdem sind viele Menschen in der digitalen Sklaverei gefangen, ohne daß es ihnen bewußt wird! Man begibt sich freiwillig da rein, da es bequem erscheint. Die Sklaventreiber nennen sich "Microsoft", "Google", "Apple", "Meta" u.s.w. Sie versprechen viel und bringen nichts außer die Abhängigkeit von #BigTech. digidigitalsklave.de/talsklave… Folgende Fragen kommen dabei auf, bei mir mit den folgenden Antworten:

  • Kannst Du Dich schwer auf Texte konzentrieren, die länger als ungefähr 140 bis 160 Zeichen ausfallen? - Dann könnte ich keinen Roman lesen und auch meine Artikel hier wären ziemlich kurz! Das hier ist ein Blog, nicht "X/Twitter"!
  • Nutzt Du ein sogenanntes Smartphone? - ERWISCHT! Ich habe ein altes "BlackBerry Storm II", welches aus technischen Gründen keinen Internetzugang hat, man kann damit nur Telefonieren oder SMS verschicken.
  • Wenn ja, hast Du ein Benutzerkonto beim (vermutlich im Ausland sitzenden) Hersteller? - Natürlich nicht, Blackberry hat vor langer Zeit seine entsprechenden Server abgestellt.
  • Wenn ja, hast Du sogenannte "Apps" installiert und diesen weitgehende Zugriffsrechte auf Dein Smartphone gegeben? Und damit auch auf Deine Daten und Informationen... und die Deiner Freunde, Bekannten, Verwandten, Kollegen... die Du auch auf dem Gerät (oder ggf. schon irgendwo beim Hersteller der App und/oder des Gerätes) gespeichert hast? Auch die Kontakte zu Ärzten, Steuerberatern, Werkstätten, etc.? - Apps? Auf dem alten Gerät unmöglich!
  • Nutzt Du Onlinedienste, etwa sogenannte soziale Netzwerke, und gibst den Betreibern und zum Teil der ganzen Welt bereitwillig jede Art von intimsten Informationen über Dich selbst und Deine Freunde und Deine Familie? - Nur "mastodon"!
  • Hast Du Daten über Dich (und Freunde, Familie, etc.) in einer sogenannten Cloud gespeichert, also einem Serversystem eines Betreibers, der vermutlich im Ausland sitzt und den Du nicht kontrollieren kannst? - Nein, ich hasse die "Klaut"! ;)
  • Nutzt Du einen Computer mit einem sich selbst modifizierenden Betriebssystem, was Dir keine Kontrolle über das Gerät läßt, Dir aber vollmundig "as a service" versprochen wurde? - Nein Ich verwende seit 2008 ein Linux-System (Kubuntu)!
  • Nutzt Du Geräte mit Sprachsteuerung zuhause, die alles und jeden immerzu im Raum belauschen und die Aufnahmen an den Hersteller schicken, obwohl es eigentlich Deine vier Wände sind? - NEIN! Solch ein Spionageteil kommt mir nicht in die Bude!
  • Glaubst Du, es diene Deiner Sicherheit, wenn Du überwacht wirst? - Hihihy, auf keinen Fall!
  • Glaubst Du bereitwillig alles, was Dir erzählt wird, ohne weiter darüber nachzudenken oder es in Frage zu stellen, insbesondere wenn Dir damit die Einschränkung Deines eigenen Lebens schmackhaft gemacht werden soll? - Ich bin Blogger und hinterfrage alles, nach mehreren Schlaganfällen muß ich mit genügend Einschränkungen leben!

Ich würde mal behaupten, daß ich nicht zu den digitalen Sklaven zähle. Sogar mein Browser ist frei, ich verwende "SeaMonkey"!

Wie sieht es denn bei euch aus, seid ihr auch noch frei oder verwendet ihr schon "WhatsUp" und CO?

Viel sonntägliche Grüße nun

Water Heater broke so we Reinvented the Shower

When our water heater stopped working we felt like it was a big big deal. Of course not having hot running water is a very uncomfortable situation. But we reinvented our shower to have hot running water. A better system that is 100 times more reliable than the water heater.

Funny enough when we started to make the video about the new solution, our water heater came back from dead and started working. Even so I, Tio, still prefer our new shower solution that anyone can actually setup in any van probably.

It costs 50 Euros and you need a water pump, a collapsible bucket, and a kettle.

On Dec. 31st, 2025, Namecheap seized and deleted the domain "Genocide.live" which has hosted over 16,000 videos of evidence of Israeli genocide, war crimes and other atrocities.
Namecheap revoked the domain of a digital memorial honouring the victims of Israel’s targeted murder of journalists in Gaza. The revocation removed an archive of over 16,000 videos, most of which documented Israel’s genocide and war crimes.

Namecheap allowed an Israeli website to register in May 2024 that targeted Palestinian children. The US-based firm justified its decision to delete the journalism archive by claiming that the content: "promotes, encourages, or depicts cruelty toward humans or animals."

The ‘Zionism Observer’ X account, which ran the archive, said that the videos catalogued atrocities by Israel. These crimes included the murder of children and the blocking of ambulances. The account has engaged in a debate with Namecheap CEO Richard Kirkendall about the deletion, accusing him of lying and deflecting in his responses, including a claim that they had requested the move to a different domain registrar


For those who don't already know, Namecheap is a domain registrar and hosting company that very openly supports Ukrainian neo-nazis. They're based out of Pheonix, AZ, USA and exploit a lot of cheap labor in western Ukraine. They also banned all Russian people from using their services in 2022.

If you use them for domain registration or hosting services, please consider transferring somewhere else asap.

Help with choosing a compatible PC
I am looking for a cheap, light, tough, relatively fast laptop to replace my decade-old lenovo. It will be my daily computer for browsing, documents and occasional photo editing. I will install eitherUbuntu or Mint.
I am looking at thinkpad x13 gen 1. It looks like the processor has an impact on the way it will be running, with different performances between ~~ARM~~ AMD and Intel.
Can I buy either one or I there a real compatibility issue with intel?

Help with choosing a compatible PC


Avoid Hewlett-Packard for an easier life.

Lenovo Thinkpads will still be a reliable choice. ... But newer models are succumbing to being made against right-to-repair too.

May consider manufacturers/sellers making hardware with Linux as their first thought.
* System76
* Tuxedo Computer
* ThinkPenguin
* Juno Computers

^ For some examples. Many of these are built with right-to-repair in mind, extending the life of the hardware, and increasing peace of mind.

Or could shop around on ebay or other marketplaces for newer thinkpads. May get a good deal on a refurb or used (at own risk).

I find AMD much more reliable performance CPU than intel. Though you wont encounter any compatibility issues with either (~ don't sue me if you hit upon an edge case with something very new).

And AMD are more "straight through" effortless for GPU than nvidia (which some people have issues with (I never did), and afaia are still dependent on some proprietary software).

[Edit: PS, While looking for more tarballs to jam in my bedrocklinux, I just encountered this page, showing manjaro are selling hardware now too manjaro.org/products ... cool. Didn't know about that.]

😀 That's what I replied from. 😀 / am typing on^1^. Refurbished Thinkpad. Is joyous.

Got a used one coming in the mail for about half the price and twice the spec of this one I got two years ago. Could buy each again at same price and still not be spending the same as new. Ample resources/spec headroom. Bought it in a hurry before ebayers realise DDR5's skyrocketing in price.

Though... those Linux focused hardware companies products do appeal more, now that I think about it... They care more than Lenovo. Worth supporting. Will likely get something with less planned obsolescence.

^1^ Okay, technically I'm typing on an old Kinesis Advantage... but it is plugged into the refurbished thinkpad~ /pedantic quibble.

This Week in Plasma: new year, new accessibility features!

Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma! Plasma developers are starting to trickle back from their vacations, and are polishing up and merging work that was nearing completion late last year.

Using a game controller will now count as “activity”, stopping the system from automatically going to sleep or locking the screen. (Yelsin Sepulveda, KDE bug #328987)


I don't know why this was not done before. I had in the past some nightmare experience trying to play emulation and my screen would go sleep every 15 minutes or so. That's why I have this disabled and display never sleeps! I am curious to try the new feature if it works as intended.

Based on the actual bug report, because the people working on this are volunteers and the workaround is simple.

If you think fixing bugs like these is a worthwhile endeavour, chip in some money or volunteer. There are many ways for people volunteer that aren't writing code, so if you aren't a software developer don't let that discourage you.

Indeed, I imagine controller support is not one of the top priorities of plasma. It is likely most developers do not even have a controller to test whether changes affect its usability.

However, just so it is clear, no it is not only volunteers. There is people paid to maintain KDE and plasma. That is why it is a good idea to give some money to the project if you use it: it actually improves the thing.

Hacked for Nuclear War: A small Bash game about a cyber attack inside a submarine

You are a captain of a nuclear submarine that is on station somewhere in the depth of the sea. Armed with SLBMs you are responsible for your nations deterrence and lasting peace on earth. When you get the orders to launch a counter strike, strange things happen to your Submarine Command System (SCS), soon you realize that your submarine was hit by a cyber attack. You need to dive and investigate who is responsible and how to restore your ship to full functionality.

Hacked for Nuclear war is a little game written in Bash, that makes you investigate simple logs in search for Indicators of Compromise (IoC) that you get from the MITRE | ATT&CK collection. The submarines attacker, nation, logs and general behaviour of the systems is randomly generated for every play-through, and you will have multiple endings that are triggered through your actions.

Greenland-Timelapse-2025
Timelapse taken "overnight" but through the polar day in May 2025. It shows 24 hours of change in the sea ice and the movement of icebergs out in the bay. As the weather comes piling over the mountains on the other side of the fjord, scientists put out instruments to measure the changing light. This was taken through the kitchen window at the DMI geophysical facility in Qaanaaq in NW Greenland. I added the animation of satellite images to try and relate what we see from the sky with how it looks on the ground. It's not always easy to interpret either one.
I promised to post a new video if the peertube fundraising campaign reached the half way point: and they smashed it, so here as promised, is a bit of a quick and dirty edit. I hope it gives a sense of the way the daylight and the weather changes the landscape, as well as how the satellite images look on the ground.

Ice coring in Antarctica

I made a quick edit of a rather rough fieldwork video showing how we take shallow snow and firn cores out in the field using a Kovacs corer.
You can see some ice lenses in this short core at the end. This was just one piece of a full 10.5m core. It takes some time but we get very valuable data on density, snow accumulation and melt from these cores. We're hoping to get quite a good range of cores from many different locations to be able to reconstruct the last 20 years over a smallish part (compared to the total sheer size) of Antarctica.

For more details check out the iQ2300 expedition website: polar.se/en/expeditions/iq2300…

Reminder: System76 is not to be trusted

Imagine spending 3+ years on staying mad at GNOME to release the most underwhelming software imaginable.

System76 is best known for spreading misinfo and lies about GNOME and other upstreams, selling overpriced re-branded clevos, "being made in America", loving rust and hyping on twitter and mastodon.

Most of the "backlash" against GNOME comes from the a community that has more opinions than users or just straight up misinformation and spite.

COSMIC is very poorly designed, it might be written in the "memory-safe programming language" but it's clear that they don't have a design backbone. They basically created the caricature of GNOME's adwaita but now you can paint your windows in whatever barf-inducing color you want.

They built an entire new desktop from scratch rather than work with GNOME or KDE and in that amount of time, literally every issue that sparked that redesign was resolved upstream in both aforementioned desktops.

I've been using Linux since high school (I dropped out in December 2006)

I recently got an old PC from a friend, it's a 2018 PC and the hard drive is NVME. It's at least 4 times faster than my "adata" brand SSD from my 2018 PC. I barely tinkered with Windows and gaming capabilities and pretty much installed Ubuntu within 24 hours of trying this PC. It can't run Windows 11 and there's no point in using Windows 10.

The Root Canal Experience: What to Expect


 Most people know this treatment as a root canal, which, despite its reputation, is not the painful experience many imagine. Here's a detailed look at what happens during an endodontic visit, from start to finish.

If your dentist has recommended endodontic treatment, you might be dealing with significant tooth pain or an infection deep within your tooth. The term "endodontics" might sound intimidating, but the procedure is designed to alleviate discomfort and save your tooth. Most people know this treatment as a root canal, which, despite its reputation, is not the painful experience many imagine. Here's a detailed look at what happens during an endodontic visit, from start to finish.

Understanding Endodontics


Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the interior of your tooth, specifically the pulp and root canals. When decay, cracks, or trauma damage this inner tissue, bacteria can infiltrate and cause infection. If left untreated, this can lead to abscesses, bone loss, and ultimately, tooth loss. Endodontists specialize in saving compromised teeth. They are the experts who step in when a regular filling isn't sufficient.

Reasons for Endodontic Treatment


Several scenarios can lead to an endodontist's chair. Deep cavities that reach the pulp are a common reason. Cracked or fractured teeth that expose the inner chamber are another. Sometimes a tooth that has undergone multiple fillings or procedures finally gives out. Trauma is another cause. A hard blow to the mouth—from sports, accidents, or even biting down on something unexpectedly hard—can damage the pulp even if the tooth appears fine on the outside.

You'll usually know something's wrong. Symptoms include persistent pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the stimulus is gone, swelling, and tenderness when you touch the area. Some people also notice discoloration or a small pimple-like bump on their gums near the affected tooth. If you're experiencing any of these signs and you're looking for a dentist at Clementi, it's worth getting evaluated sooner rather than later. Early intervention often means simpler treatment.

Preparing for Your Appointment


Your regular dentist will likely take X-rays and examine the tooth before referring you. These images help identify the problem and give the endodontist a roadmap of your tooth's internal structure. When you book your endodontic appointment, the office will usually ask about your medical history and any medications you're taking. Be honest about any anxieties or concerns—they've heard it all before and can help you feel more comfortable.

If you're on blood thinners or have specific health conditions, mention this when scheduling. It rarely prevents treatment, but it helps the team prepare appropriately.

What Happens During the Visit


Here's a step-by-step breakdown of a typical endodontic procedure.

Numbing the Area


Before anything else, the endodontist numbs the tooth and surrounding tissue with local anesthetic. This is the same stuff your regular dentist uses for fillings. You'll feel a small pinch from the injection, then the area goes numb within minutes. If you're particularly anxious, some practices offer sedation options. Ask about this when booking if it's something you'd want.

Isolating the Tooth


Once you're numb, the endodontist places a small rubber sheet called a dental dam over the tooth. This keeps the area dry and free from saliva during the procedure. It also prevents any cleaning solutions or small instruments from slipping into your mouth. It feels a bit odd at first, but it's not uncomfortable. You can still breathe normally.

Accessing the Pulp


The endodontist drills a small opening in the top of your tooth to reach the pulp chamber. If it's a front tooth, the opening is made on the back side. For molars, it's on the chewing surface. You won't feel this because you're numb. You might hear the drill and feel some vibration, but there's no pain.

Cleaning the Canals


This is the core of the procedure. Using very thin, flexible instruments, the endodontist removes the infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and its root canals. Each tooth has a different number of canals—front teeth typically have one, while molars can have three or four. The canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected. The endodontist flushes them with antimicrobial solutions to kill bacteria and prevent reinfection.

This part takes the most time. For a straightforward case, it might be 30 to 45 minutes. More complex situations—like curved canals or multiple roots—can take longer.

Filling the Canals


Once the canals are clean and dry, they're filled with a rubber-like material called gutta-percha. This seals the space and prevents bacteria from getting back in. The access opening is then sealed with a temporary or permanent filling, depending on your situation.

Finishing Up


After the procedure, the endodontist will explain what comes next. In many cases, you'll need to return to your regular dentist for a crown to protect the tooth. The tooth is more brittle after root canal treatment, and a crown gives it strength and durability. If you're searching for a dentist around Clementi to complete the restoration, ask your endodontist for recommendations if you don't already have someone in mind.

Does It Hurt?


This is the question everyone asks. The short answer: the procedure itself doesn't hurt because you're numb. What hurts is the infection or damage that brought you there in the first place. After the anesthetic wears off, you might feel some tenderness or mild discomfort for a few days. This is normal. Your tooth and the surrounding tissue have been through a lot, and they need time to settle down. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen usually handle any discomfort. Your endodontist will give you specific instructions on what to take and when.

If you experience severe pain, swelling that gets worse, or a reaction to medication, call the office immediately. These aren't common, but they need prompt attention.

After Your Visit


Here's what to expect in the days following your treatment. Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until it's fully restored with a permanent filling or crown. The temporary filling isn't designed to withstand heavy pressure. Maintain your regular oral hygiene routine. Brush and floss as usual—just be gentle around the treated area for the first day or two. If antibiotics were prescribed, take the full course even if you feel fine. Stopping early can allow the infection to return.

Most people return to normal activities the same day. You might want to take it easy for the rest of the day if you had sedation, but otherwise, there's no downtime.

How Long Does It Last?


A properly treated and restored tooth can last a lifetime. Success rates for root canal treatment are high—over 95% in most cases. The key is following through with the crown or final restoration. Without it, the tooth can fracture or reinfect. That would mean more treatment or even extraction. Regular dental checkups help catch any issues early. Your dentist will monitor the treated tooth during routine visits.

When to Seek Treatment


If you're experiencing tooth pain, don't wait for it to become unbearable. Early treatment is simpler, less expensive, and more likely to save the tooth. And if you've been putting off a recommended root canal because you're nervous, remember that the alternative—extraction—comes with its own complications. You'll need an implant, bridge, or partial denture to replace the missing tooth, which involves more time, money, and procedures.

Final Thoughts


An endodontic visit isn't fun, but it's not the nightmare people imagine. The procedure is straightforward, pain is managed effectively, and the outcome lets you keep your natural tooth. If you need treatment and you're looking for a dentist at Clementi or a dentist around Clementi to handle the restoration afterward, ask for referrals or check reviews to find someone you're comfortable with. Your tooth—and your overall dental health—will thank you for following through.

The Essential Guide to ACRA Compliance for F&B Businesses in Singapore


 This guide aims to clarify what ACRA compliance means for F&B businesses, why it’s crucial, and how company secretarial services — including those offered by Entrust — can help operators stay compliant without disrupting their daily activities.

Running an F&B business in Singapore is like being in a perpetual sprint. You’re constantly managing suppliers, staff, licenses, inspections, and customer interactions. In the midst of this whirlwind, ACRA compliance often takes a backseat until a deadline is looming or a notice arrives in your inbox, making it suddenly urgent.

While ACRA compliance isn’t rocket science, it can be unforgiving if neglected. For F&B businesses, where margins are tight and operations are fast-paced, minor compliance lapses can lead to significant stress.

This guide aims to clarify what ACRA compliance means for F&B businesses, why it’s crucial, and how company secretarial services — including those offered by Entrust — can help operators stay compliant without disrupting their daily activities.

The Importance of ACRA Compliance for F&B Businesses


ACRA compliance is essential for maintaining your company’s good standing. While this may seem abstract, the consequences of non-compliance are very real. Late filings can result in fines. Non-compliance can impact licenses and permits. Poor record-keeping can hinder funding or expansion plans.

For F&B operators, compliance issues often surface at the most inconvenient times. When you’re opening a new outlet, applying for financing, or bringing in a new partner, ACRA compliance becomes a critical factor. Staying compliant isn’t about achieving perfection; it’s about maintaining consistency.

Key Obligations for F&B Companies


At its core, ACRA compliance involves several recurring tasks. Every locally incorporated F&B business must file annual returns on time. Financial statements must be prepared and approved. Company details must be accurate and up-to-date.

Directors, shareholders, and registered office addresses all need to be properly recorded. Any changes — even minor ones — must be lodged within the required time frame. These tasks don’t change just because the business is busy. And in the F&B industry, it’s always busy.

Why F&B Businesses Face Higher Compliance Risks


F&B companies are dynamic and change rapidly. New outlets open. Shareholding structures evolve. Directors come and go. Sometimes businesses start small and formal processes lag behind growth.

This is where compliance gaps can emerge. Shares might be issued informally. Director resignations might not be filed on time. Addresses might change without updating records.

None of this is intentional. It’s simply the operational reality. But ACRA doesn’t distinguish between oversight and intent. Deadlines are strict. Company secretarial services exist to manage this reality, especially in fast-paced sectors like F&B.

Annual Returns and Financial Statements


For many F&B owners, annual returns are the most visible compliance task. They’re also where errors often occur. Annual returns must reflect accurate company information. Financial statements must be approved before filing. If numbers don’t match supporting documents, questions will arise.

Smaller F&B businesses sometimes assume simplified reporting applies automatically. It doesn’t. Eligibility needs to be assessed each year. Good company secretarial services coordinate closely with accountants to ensure filings are accurate and on time. This avoids last-minute corrections and penalties.

Director and Shareholder Changes


F&B businesses often involve multiple partners. Changes are common. New investors come in. Silent partners exit. Directors rotate. Every one of these changes must be documented properly. Board resolutions. Share transfer records. ACRA lodgements.

Problems arise when changes happen informally. A handshake agreement today can become a compliance issue tomorrow when records don’t match reality. Entrust’s secretarial services, like other experienced providers, help formalize these changes properly so the company’s legal structure always reflects how the business actually operates.

Registered Office and Statutory Records


Every company must maintain a registered office address and keep statutory registers. These include registers of directors, shareholders, and charges. In F&B, addresses change frequently. Offices move. Operations expand. If records aren’t updated, official notices can be missed.

Statutory records also matter during inspections, financing discussions, or disputes. They’re not just paperwork; they’re proof of ownership and authority. Company secretarial services ensure these records stay current and accessible.

The Connection Between Compliance and Licenses


ACRA compliance doesn’t exist in isolation. F&B businesses rely on multiple licenses and permits. Health approvals. Food handling certifications. Sometimes liquor licenses. When corporate records are unclear, license applications can stall. Authorities expect consistency across agencies.

If directors listed with ACRA don’t match license applications, questions arise. If ownership structures are unclear, approvals slow down. Strong ACRA compliance supports smoother interactions with other regulators. It’s part of the same trust framework.

The Cost of Non-Compliance


The most obvious cost of non-compliance is fines. But that’s rarely the biggest issue. Delayed expansion. Lost investor confidence. Time wasted fixing old mistakes.

These are the real costs. Fixing compliance retroactively takes far more effort than maintaining it properly from the start.

Many F&B owners only realize this when they try to scale. Compliance suddenly becomes urgent, and gaps become expensive.

The Benefits of Outsourcing Compliance


Most F&B owners don’t want to become compliance experts. And they shouldn’t have to. Company secretarial services exist to take this burden off operators. They track deadlines. Prepare filings. Advise on changes. Keep records aligned.

This is especially valuable in F&B, where owners are already stretched across operations, staffing, and customer experience. Entrust’s secretarial services, for example, focus on keeping companies compliant quietly and consistently, without adding complexity to the business.

Staying Compliant During Growth


Growth creates compliance pressure. New outlets. New partners. New risks. The key is having a system that scales. One that doesn’t rely on memory or manual tracking.

Company secretarial services provide that system. They help businesses grow without losing control of the basics. When compliance is handled properly, expansion feels smoother. Less reactive. More predictable.

A Simple Compliance Mindset


The easiest way to think about ACRA compliance is this: keep your records aligned with reality. If something changes in the business, it should be reflected in the records. If a deadline exists, it should be tracked and met.

That’s it. No overthinking required. Company secretarial services exist to enforce this discipline so owners don’t have to.

Final Thoughts


ACRA compliance isn’t exciting. But for F&B businesses, it’s essential infrastructure. It protects your ability to operate. It supports growth. It reduces unnecessary risk.

With the right company secretarial services — including steady providers like Entrust’s secretarial services — compliance becomes routine instead of reactive. And when compliance is under control, F&B owners can focus on what actually matters: running a great business, serving customers, and growing sustainably.

[Help - PulseAudio] Passing audio through a virtual speaker/microphone and auxiliary speakers

So i use to do this back when i used Windows but now i am trying to recreate this on Debian (13 - Trixie) essentially what i am trying to accomplish is a virtual speaker that can pass audio through a virtual microphone and my aux speakers at the same time.

Apologies if the formatting looks weird here:

Audio
|
Virtual Speaker
    |
    - Virtual Microphone (So that i can set this as my microphone for applications)
    |
    - Auxiliary Speakers (So i can hear the audio being played)

I've accomplished setting up my virtual microphone/speaker using This guide however, it currently does not pass audio through to my auxiliary speakers.

Any and all suggestions are much appreciated!

Is anyone elses Podman filling up their "/var/tmp"?

I utilize podman on my server for running my software.

Recently, I saw that my server ran out of space on its 8TB raid 10 array. Which immediately raised questions for me.

After using "duc" to analyze my drive. I found that podman had used 4 TB of storage space in "/var/tmp".

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Podman/docker leave behind old images, image layers, and containers that need to be cleaned up occasionally. podman system prune will do so.

If 8TB was taken up quickly or unexpectedly, it might be something like a container failing to start and being recreated over and over, leaving each failed container behind as it goes. podman ps --all will list all containers, running or stopped. Before doing the system prune run that and podman image ls --all to see if anything looks amiss.

Roberta Fidora - Mover

You didn’t think we’d just be able to exit through our imagination, did you? Having failed to eliminate the pink haired Roberta and detecting a “human input error”, a mysterious business entity turns its attention to manufacturing and churning out a vast ARRAY! of products gleaned from extracted data and containing delicious chunks garnered from its human input; distilling our test subject into cleaning sprays, tinned hair, face mayonnaise and a pink beverage called Synthy Pop (which has been known to cause side effects) amongst other things. You can only leave once you have become a product.

The video for “Mover” continues the themes of the previous videos around imagination, technological outpacing, churn and the distorting spectacle of the artist in a world of algorithmic approval and branding.

How the video was made:

“Much like the animated video for Here Come the Lucky Ones, Mover was made over several months with faithful DaVinci Resolve software, lots of pink cellophane, stock footage, miniature versions of, ahem, well known food brands, a multitude of pink and orange plinths my dad 3D printed for me and a bunch of old (and possibly unsafe) beauty products I’ve collected from the 1950s and 1960s."

ABOUT ROBERTA FIDORA
Falling somewhere between Bet Lynch, David Lynch, Laurie Anderson and Gerry Anderson, with polite nods to Toyah, Amanda Lear, Siouxsie, Alison Moyet and Sparks, Roberta Fidora is a musician, amateur biography writer and person of disinterest based at the bottom of the UK (previously releasing music under the moniker CURXES) whose output has incorporated everything from broadcasts in dark forests and giant dancing bear puppets to depressed budgerigars, abandoned rocket testing sites and human taxidermy displays, getting shout-outs from the likes of MOJO magazine, The Independent, The Guardian and BBC6Music along the way. She has also contributed to the field recording project Cities & Memory, with the track Huygens appearing on the accompanying CD to Electronic Sound’s special field recording issue, as well as numerous other electronic/electroclash/synthpop releases which can be found on her website: robertafidora.com.

This is one of those things that sounds impossible but then I've also seen when someone I know used social engineering to get a malicious build of a free video game on to the laptop of someone else I know to delete all his files remotely and for some reason it actually overheated uncontrollably and melted. I didn't believe that either until I went with him to get security footage from the university for the warranty claim.

That was early windows xp era though. I'd really like to believe a damned filesystem driver cand cause that kind of damage, please for the love of dog...

Maybe I assumed incorrelctly what haplened, I can't find a photo of it, it happened years ago.

Basically I wanted to back up a pretty old laptop with win7. I booted up an arch linix live usb. Started cp-ing from internal to external driver without default NTFS driver. Afer a few minites i noticed some random colored pixels creeping in from the top right side of the monitor. Most of the screen should have been black because it was displaying the terminal. By the time it finished there were multiple different lenght rows with random bright colors. After restarting on win7 these presisted. During a few days the lined got shorter, but never disapeared even after years.

No idea how this happened

I know AMD had some issues a long time ago with thermal protection. Tom's Hardware made a video on YouTube where they tested what happens when removing the CPU cooler on a system running Quake 3. As I remember it, all the Intel CPUs survived but most, if not all, the AMD CPUs died, one also damaging the motherboard.


CPU overheat

Credits go to 'toms hardware'.. What do you get when you remove the heatsink from the CPU?Remember, don't try this at home. :]

The GPU, not the TPM, is the root of hardware DRM
As part of their "Defective by Design" anti-DRM campaign, the FSF recently made the following claim:
Today, most of the major streaming media platforms utilize the TPM to decrypt media streams, forcefully placing the decryption out of the user's control (from here).

This is part of an overall argument that Microsoft's insistence that only hardware with a TPM can run Windows 11 is with the goal of aiding streaming companies in their attempt to ensure media can only be played in tightly constrained environments.

I'm going to be honest here and say that I don't know what Microsoft's actual motivation for requiring a TPM in Windows 11 is. I've been talking about TPM stuff for a long time. My job involves writing a lot of TPM code. I think having a TPM enables a number of worthwhile security features. Given the choice, I'd certainly pick a computer with a TPM. But in terms of whether it's of sufficient value to lock out Windows 11 on hardware with no TPM that would otherwise be able to run it? I'm not sure that's a worthwhile tradeoff.

What I can say is that the FSF's claim is just 100% wrong, and since this seems to be the sole basis of their overall claim about Microsoft's strategy here, the argument is pretty significantly undermined. I'm not aware of any streaming media platforms making use of TPMs in any way whatsoever. There is hardware DRM that the media companies use to restrict users, but it's not in the TPM - it's in the GPU.

yea, ever since TPM was first making the conspiracy rounds in the 90's there has been a huge misunderstanding of its purpose, let alone its capabilities. I 100% agree with the author that looking at the TPM as an evil blackbox is really just depriving users of a tool that can be implemented in an open source way to secure user privacy. The GPU however is impossible to implement in an opensource way by everyone except a small handful of semiconductor companies, and even then you would rely on proprietary microcode that woul take millions of manhours to reverse engineer if it were even possible. So if I were some megacorp who relied on Imaginary Property, the GPU that was exclusively created by a fellow megacorp is where I'd place my trust.

I also dont know why Win11 requires a tpm2.0, but since it does, and my current computer doesnt have one, I'm certanly not going to run it.

I totally agree, but someone on the ship actually is responsible for following orders from whoever (Russia) to dump anchor and drag it along the seabed. I refuse to believe the captain did all of it himself, or held the crew at gunpoint to force them to do it. Most of the crew are surely innocent or, at worst, were actively ignoring the crime they collectively were doing. It is fully possible for the crew to ignore orders, they could possibly lose their jobs, but they decided their jobs were worth more than not propagating Nazi Russia's stupid hybrid war.

Actions have consequences. Do stupid shit, win stupid prizes. And so on.

You have no idea if that's true. Russia is an authoritarian country. It didn't get that way by allowing underlings to assert themselves. Even in your example of losing their jobs-that could be suicidal if they have a family relying on that income. In Russia, the punishment could be much worse. In an authoritarian oligarchy like Russia, all of the levers of power are controlled by the handful of elites. The entire national system is built for their benefit. Your average grunt is a victim in all this. They don't have the ability to dissent. They'll get made an example.

Or the sailors might have been gung-ho and did it without their captain knowing. Hell, idk.

Lety Does “STORIES: The AIDS Monument”

There's a new AIDS monument in West Hollywood Park I wanted to show off. Feels timely given World AIDS Day was on December 1st, and lots of places across the United States recognize the entire month of December as HIV/AIDS Awareness Month. Take that in addition to recent slashes to the American public health infrastructure by RFK Jr and other unscientific forces, and I can't think of a better video to close off the month of December.

It depends on what you change more often.

If you change your provider more often, than eSIMs are fine. You don't have to wait for anything in the mail, or go to a store.

If you (me) keep your provider for a couple decades, a physical SIM card can be moved to any new phone at any time, without even needing to talk to your provider. Never mind asking them to approve your new niche little phone they've never heard of, and don't know will work (it will)
