Not the OP, but if they mentioned they did it from Termux you can install an X server and a full desktop browser like Firefox either directly or via a chroot/proot "container" via for example proot-distro [0]. [0] https:&#x2

I'm using VictoriaMetrics (VM) to store basic weather data, like temperature and humidity. My initial setup was based on Prometheus however it seemed very hard to set a high data retention value, default was something like 15 days if I

3 dB would be halving/doubling. With 10 dB, you would get a ratio of 10x.

As a fellow alternative Ubuntu user, one additional difference is the LTS support schedule which is shorter for Ubuntu alternatives. For example, Xubuntu 24.04 is supported until 2027, while Ubuntu 24.04 is supported until 2029. Interesting

One nice benefit for optical media is that it's hard read only by default. This makes it easy to ensure the install media does not get corrupted by overwrites or malware.

They mention Zen 2 and 3, any info on Zen 1? Would it simply apply as well?

For some cars, getting to reverse requires to press down the shifter and then shift to the same position as 1st. I think this scheme would not work in such cases.

That's a good list of reasons, however it seems the biggest concern is if you run a dedicated DNS service on your network. For a simple home network setup, as long as naming conflicts can be managed, it looks like mDNS is quite handy.

They list under hardware requirements "a powerful graphics card with at least 6 GB VRAM is recommended. Otherwise generating images will take very long" Does anyone have any idea what would very long mean on a 4GB VRAM card?

After more than 15 years of average default Ubuntu user, I also had to move, in my case I went to OpenSuse Tumbleweed (TW). While there were a lot of Ubuntu changes over the years, that I managed to adapt to, this time I realised it was too

I've been doing just that with a Raspberry Pi Zero W and a USB ethernet adapter. The eth adapter is set to dhcp, and the wifi sets a hotspot. The wireguard adapter is routed/from to wifi with firewall rules. I even tested the Pi p

Not OP and certainly not in the anti-IPv6 camp. I'm wondering though: could you build a case that under IPv4, a misconfigured NAT would only result in lost connectivity for nodes behind the router, while for IPv6 a misconfigured firewa

I use this on Windows because of the dual pane layout which allows me to easily move/copy files around, but also do other nice stuff like file diffs, though probably other apps out there can also do these things. It's also preety

You probably need to look into disabling the Android phantom process killer. I had a similar issue and could not get DEs such as XFCE running for a long time and after the fix it was smooth sailing. There are meanwhile quite a few Google re

How do you handle security updates? Can these be done separately?

Or if you're confident enough in your macro definition you can do C-u 0 C-x e to repeat until it reaches the end of the buffer.

I had some good experience with Asus MiniPC P50 - also 8 cores, Ryzen. I noticed it was barely audible while running with a VM active.

As others have already mentioned the Lattice ice40 family is supported by OSS chains through project icestorm [0]. There were some nice boards floating around though you may have to watch out for supply chain issues still plaguing this mark

I think containment for such organisms could be more challenging beyond the Jurrasic Park movie plot. For example would we also have to account for side effects such as horizontal gene transfer[0]? [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

Interested to know if anyone can share what sink devices they use to drive the external display? My intention was to achieve something similar via VNC/nx and use a RaspberryPI ZeroW driving a TV via HDMI input.

It depends. As a counter example think of Scientific Linux [0] which was also an RH clone supported by Fermilab and CERN. It eventually got replaced by this "obscure" distro called CentOS. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org

One example would be the Gigabyte Brix line. These barebones start at around 70€ and you get a 4W Celeron 2C/2T, USB3, GB Lan, WiFi, VGA and HDMI output. You need to add RAM to the bill but you could easily find a matching 4 GB DDR4 st

Maybe I misunderstood the requirements, I thought that in order to run containers a user has to belong to the lxc/lxd group. Once they belong to this group they can spawn a privileged container, which will indeed be run under root, but

How do you all manage the security side for LXC containers? As I understand it, any local user allowed to run lxc containers can effectively spin up a root level access container on the host, example: run a privileged container and mount &#

Thinking of the Pi0, I assume you would need 2 usb cables and a hub: 1 cable goes to Pi's power usb port, 1 goes to the other usb port for connectivity, then both cables joined through a hub to the phone's usb port.

Since they mentioned proot, that won't require a rooted device, see: https://proot-me.github.io/ I was also able to get a decent Ubuntu distribution including a desktop environment running on a non-rooted device, even

Interesting, the text on those scans is selectable, can anyone share how this is done is it a custom font? It does not seem so as the same letter appears to be rendered differently showing printing/scan artifacts. Maybe some styling?
