Spammers never ever leave voicemails, that's how I know a call was spam. If someone actually needs me, either I have their numbers already or they leave a voicemail

Just the other day I tried to remove pipewire from my system but didn't look at the list of packages to be removed... Turns out it removed gnome desktop and so booted into CLI 🤦‍♀️

From a cursory search it seems possible to reverse usb tether on Linux so should be fine. Yes the SBC would charge the phone if the SBC had a good enough power supply.

Re: tor yes that could be done if you know how to configure Linux.

I watched the first episode of this and didn't really laugh once, does it get better?

[–] christophski 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you use that old laptop for anything else? That is probably drawing a huge amount of power just to reverse tether the phone, could definitely be accomplished with a extremely low power SBC nowadays

That is the example they gave in the article...

You can stream it wherever you are in the world without having to keep it on your phone

Fader for volume, knob for panning. Fader for EQ frequency.

Depends what it controls…

I think we are still in an age where few women were encouraged to do technical things growing up, and found those subjects later in school, university or work. I suspect that will change over the next ten years.

 

This may be deemed slightly off topic but I felt like this community might know the answer to this. I'm looking for a way to permanently embed information about who is in a photo, but when I search Google I just get some forum posts from 10 years ago. Surely there is something more recent? How would you go about doing this? Let's assume they are JPG.

I thought about this when looking through photos from my grandparents, where the names are written on the back of the photo. I have many digital photos from ten years ago and I've already forgotten the names of some of the people so imagine what it will be like in another 30 years.

 

When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.

Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.

I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.

I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

 

However I definitely want to play dinosaurs

Not sure what it is about this song but it really gets me. A sort of slightly melancholic ecstasy.

 

Relay finally shut down without subscription - not sure how much I'll really use reddit from hereon out, most of my time is on lemmy anyway
