I've been moderately happy with Tecware Phantom series keyboards. Per-key RGB, socketed switches, etc for $40-$50 USD. I'll never go back to membrane keyboards.

Yep. We are basically a power island with a tiny bit of DC-DC interconnect. Interesting stats are here: https://www.ercot.com/gridmktinfo/dashboards

I've been doing that with keepalived for redundant dns. Are you saying I could put the dns vip as a secondary IP (keeping the primary node IP) in the tinc host config?

In most cases, it is a result of the teacher immediately "closing" the assignment/test after it has been submitted and you are only then able to see the final score. For the couple of teachers that actually use canvas properl

As a parent with a child in public grade school, the whole rote memorization of facts vs trying to help him understand and think isn't the real problem. The thing that makes him an A/B student (and sometimes almost C) instead of a

I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses ChatGPT for comedic purposes.

Tangentially related, is there any way for me as an end user to make Lemmy look more like old compact layout reddit instead of a clone of the new reddit layout with all the wasted whitespace? Edit: Currently, on my 1900x1200 monitor I can

Visual Basic had control styling and the ability to even create custom components as well. For example, I created a textbox control with built-in validation logic in a matter of minutes and was able to drag/drop the control like any o

Frustratingly enough, apparently not as I could never get it to work. It is pretty easy to set up a vxlan tunnel over wireguard if you absolutely need stuff like that though.

Yep, I'm divorced and my minor son goes back and forth between his mother's house and mine on a weekly basis. I have a NF subscription and he is signed into my NF account over there on his xbox and the moment NF tries to extort a

I block the page visibility API. I'd love to find out more information on how to prevent web pages from knowing if they are visible or not.

Cable ISP here locally has gone as far as to entirely remove access to the 196.168.100.1 diagnostic page. I can't even tell if my modem is properly synced with the network or not now. :-/

You are not alone. I will likely be migrating from Ubuntu to Debian on my next major upgrade cycle because of snap packages being forced upon me in places they should never exist (headless servers, substitutes for debs, etc).

I've followed the project since the 6.x days and I am still impressed that they managed (with the help of some really sharp win32 people) to get their fork-per-client model working on Windows.

PostgreSQL famously does not support plan hints I really wish the PostgreSQL core team would acknowledge that their stance on that hurts more than helps. Even Oracle with decades of engineering behind it doesn't get execution

That's really weird and I have no idea why it wouldn't be working for you. I even went as far as to spawn the ancient version of powershell included with Windows and pwsh 7.3.4 without a profile and tab completion adds the ampersa

by alyandon 3y ago
Oh yes, tab completion adds an ampersand automatically on mine as well. I was just pointing out that literally quoting a pathname to an executable by itself doesn't achieve the desired outcome.

PS interprets that as a string and echoes it. PS C:\Users\me> "C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe" C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink.exe

For those that are genuinely curious, & "C:\Program Files\Vendor\AwesomeVendorProgram.exe" (yes - PS is definitely chock full of idiosyncrasies)

I had a very similar experience and at the end of the day I switched back to vi(m) (and specialized IDEs) mostly because I didn't have the time to constantly evolve my emacs environment to solve the tasks at hand efficiently. I can se

My experience so far is that k8s itself is relatively stable. It's when you start using vendor specific addons/plugins to actually do stuff like provision PVs, modify Citrix LB settings, etc outside of k8s everything quickly beco

Yeah - generally speaking these days if I'm setting up a "desktop" running Linux it 99% likely going to be Kubuntu (with snapd purged and Firefox installed from the Mozilla Team PPA).

What a ridiculously bad idea. :-/ As an anecdote, MSI's dragon center utility bricked my motherboard trying to apply a BIOS/UEFI update which required me to use the flashback recovery method and wait in terror for about 15 m

Currently dealing with almost exactly this using Citrix LBs and k8s. You can't even really tell what is happening with the Citrix ingress controller when things break. :-/

Ok go turn off VoLTE.... unless your carrier did the following * “Google Pixel devices received software updates in 2021 that automatically enabled VoLTE and removed the toggle.”

Does NSFW necessarily mean pornographic though? I can well imagine that there exist employers that would readily discipline or terminate someone if they were caught viewing a scantily clad female on a company owned computer.
