Turned my shitty Intel Atom 32-bit laptop with just 1GB of RAM into a useful lightweight workstation
  • I also have a netbook with an Atom N2600, I overclocked it from 1.6GHz to 2.0GHz, upgraded from 1GB to 3GB of RAM, and replaced the old HD with an SSD, I then installed MX Linux, 32 bits version, Xfce, and it works pretty well. Only huge webpages are slow, but everything else is about still usable

  • KDE's New Distro: Btrfs-Based, Immutable Linux OS, with Flatpak and Snap
  • Me using no systemd, no flatpak, no snap... I think I'll pass

  • Boston Dynamics new Atlas video
  • ok, cool, but to do this, it does not need complicated legs/balance system, having tracks à la wall-e or 3 or 4 wheels would do the job

  • Does my laptop fit in the Linux community?
  • Of course, I even installed latest MX Linux on my 2007 netbook, with an atom 32 bits, 3GB of RAM, I replaced the old HD with a $20 SSD, works fine, pretty slow in firefox, but works :)

  • Choices made nearly a century ago explain today’s housing crisis
  • It's like the show on TV "I'm 26, I am a cook in a fast food restaurant, my wife is 25 and a part time soap maker at home, we are looking for a house in Parkdale Toronto, our budget is 1.5 million" WTF?

  • Près d’un Français sur quatre juge que la démocratie n’est pas le meilleur système politique
  • Ils veulent quoi alors? l'anarchie? le communisme? la dictature? Si ils ne sont pas contents ils peuvent immigrer en Russie, en Érythrée ou en Corée du Nord.

  • Choices made nearly a century ago explain today’s housing crisis
  • I left Montréal, cannot afford a decent house there, now in suburbia. I have no clue how people in Toronto or worst, Vancouver, can manage to buy condo/house at 1 or 2 millions$ ?!?

  • How high-speed rail would change Ontario and Quebec — if it actually happens
  • I'll be dead in 2078 when it will be announced for the 134th time, at the cost of 860 billions$

    I'll tell you then

  • Can anyone suggest a yt and Facebook video downloader for windows.
  • I'm using video download helper, an extension for firefox https://www.downloadhelper.net/ and it can download about every video from web site. At one time it was not able so it asked me to install a Companion App and with it was able to dl from anime site and all.

  • Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC
  • I understand it could make sense for 4G/5G telecom as transmit towers can be saturated etc if people download terabytes and terabytes every day. But for at home cable? having a cap makes no sense really...

  • Québec songe à abolir le changement d’heure
  • N'oubliez pas de voter 278'347 fois avec des bots!

  • Québec songe à abolir le changement d’heure
  • ouin, meilleure idée, on pourrait prendre l'heure avancée l'été pour le soleil le soir, et l'heure standard l'hiver pour la clarté le matin!

    😜

  • Youth unemployment in China is getting worse
  • I think it happened in time before, but when you have a lot of young people doing nothing like this, you better control them to avoid a general backlash/revolution. Being China, enrolling them in their army and invading a country/going to war, will keep them busy. It's unfortunate, but it's CCP.

  • Looking for TV recommendations
  • Canadian? then https://forums.redflagdeals.com/costco-hisense-2022-2023-2024-4k-43-100-tv-model-sale-clearance-298-2629232/

    With your budget, take the 75U78N at Costco, 2yr warranty + you can extend to 6yr for 150$ I think.

    Hisense especially the 78N (and 88N) have absolutely beautiful stunning picture, maybe one of the best for the buck, check the review https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u7n-u7-u75n it handles DolbyVision, HDR, 144Hz, etc

    It does not use a shitty OS like roku nor ads like Samsung. You may need to have it plugged on internet for 1st boot and FW update, but after this you can obviously disconnect it, plug your HDMI device and that's it, it will act as a dumb monitor.

  • Can this be recovered? 2nd image is of the first non zero bytes of the partition. Btrfs was used.
  • Your btrfs was in a LUKS partition and you can decode it? But know that btrfs uses smart compression by default, so you can recover jpeg or zip easily in general, but for stuff compressed, not sure how to decompress them by hand ... Like other commenter wrote, first do a full copy on another HD.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program
  • no clue, I am on HyperOS. But there is all the popular one like Lineage or Pixel

  • What is your linux backup strategy?
  • yeah about the same, old coot here, I plug a USB3-SSD (encrypted with LUKS) and rsync from internal HD to this external HD. That's it.

  • En France, la grande panne de la consommation
  • J'imagine ils ne vont pas non plus au resto les salauds, à cause d'eux des restos vont faire faillite!

    Any app for call recording ?
  • last time I did it was in 2020 so certainly things changed a lot... xda is your friend :)

  • Samsung Galaxy A16 5G announced with record-breaking software support
  • The A1x series has always been very low budget, slow, etc, anyway, in 6 years the phone will be unusable.

  • notifications?

    Is there notifications in jerboa when we have a reply?
