  • Have to admit, I haven't followed the subject since I don't smoke weed. Tried it a few times, thousands of years ago when I was younger and it was not my thing.

    In Germany driving while under the influence is an almost instant MPU. Will they relax the law now, or do it like with alcohol, you need to be over a certain value to have your licensed revoked? No disrespect against people that smoke weed but I don't want to share a road with people stoned out of their minds.

  • Letting kids transition before they even reach puberty is a great way to potentially ruin their lives forever. Kids are so impressionable and change faster than the wind. They instantly succumb to peer pressure and 99% of the cases have no clue what they want because they are kids. They don't have a lot of life experience.

    I know only one case where I knew that transition would have been normal at any age for him. When we were kids it would have been 100% impossible. Now we are older farts and he still didn't transition, he doesn't want and would have regretted the decision if he would have had the possibility to do it as a kid.

    Transition as a kid should be nearly impossible and you should be put through an infinite amount of tests and visits to the doctor. Reach an age where you can be considered an adult, go ahead and schedule an appointment and transition away. Do as you please.

  • The DMA already having an impact. Brave Browser installs surge after introduction of browser choice splash screen on iOS.
  • True but if you use Vivaldi and then you try to go back to Firefox, it's like going back in the early 2000s. I always say this, Firefox should have been like Vivaldi. Super customizable and packed with features. Instead you have to rely on extensions and thus put your trust in the creator of said extension that they will not sell it. Heck even with extensions, trying to mimic the new tab page from Vivaldi is a masterclass in patience.

  • Discovery will be the first Star Trek show in half a century to end without a single Jonathan Frakes appearance
  • I agree with the original post. It's what also killed it for me. Felt like the writers went for the lowest hanging fruit.

    I mean it's Star Trek, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, nobody cares about that. Be whoever you want to be, you will be accepted. To me that's what Star Trek has always been about, you will always be included.

    Don’t even remember when I stopped watching it, I tried a few episodes each season and I just gave up. Burnham has such a great smile but in all episodes she has a nervous breakdown and is always sad. At least that's how I remember the series in my head. Everybody's depressed. Don't remember anything else.

  • Steam Deck had a strong end to 2023 and a great start for 2024
  • I would love that. I have a refurbished Steam Deck and I don't use it that much, actually I'm barely using it. I've been a PC gamer all my life, I have a pretty strong workstation and a gaming laptop.

    So for me a perfect pocket Deck would be a smaller and lighter one, less powerful to play indie titles, 2d games or really old games like Fallout 3, New Vegas(40fps). Not to try and run Starfield on it or any new and demanding games. I play those games on my PC. The current Deck is too big and not really carry friendly in my bags.

    Still I bought it to support the system, I would love for the whole gaming scene to move to Linux, even if most of my PCs run Windows. Maybe this in turn will also push app developers to also make their apps available on Linux.

  • Nigerian students who fled Ukraine told to leave Europe | openDemocracy
  • Why? They were in Ukraine and from what I see they were allowed to stay 2 years in the EU. It's shit they didn't get to graduate but it's not EU's fault. They should apply for a university in the EU, I'm sure they can find a good uni to continue their studies.

  • Built a new machine, the moment Unraid is running there are strange interference sounds. Edit: turning off Intel Turbo Boost Technology makes the sound go away.

    Built a small machine using an Asrock N100DC-ITX motherboard, it has an Intel N100 built in and I also have 1x NVMe and 2x HDDs. The board has a DC Jack so no external PSU.

    First time I booted it, the NVMe had Opensuse on it so I played around a little, no problem. When I boot into BIOS also no problem.

    When I boot into Unraid, there is a strange sound coming from the back of the board, sounds like an interference sound. I cannot tell if it's coming from the ethernet port or from the power DC Jack. I think it's from the power.

    I recorded it with my phone and bumped the sound +20 dB, this is how it sounds like. You can hear the fans and that sound. https://soundcloud.com/user-300866676-719653331/n100-1

    https://soundcloud.com/user-300866676-719653331/n1002

    For power I tried using both an Intel NUC 65w power adapter and an Asus laptop 90w power adapter, the one Asrock recommends on their website. The system has been running for 1-2days, with 4 containers and Home Assistant VM, it idles at around 16w. Without Home Assistant, it drops to 11w.

    Any idea what that sound is?

    Edit 1: If I go into BIOS and turn off Intel Turbo Boost Technology then it is silent but also kills my performance?

    !

    Edit 2 So because I did not want to leave Turbo Boost on, I did some more digging and also realized my CPU was always boosting in Unraid. using "watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" it was almost always between 2900Mhz and 3300Mhz. I installed Tip and Tweaks plugin and set Normal CPU Scaling Governor to power saver. The sound is gone and now it seems the CPU goes all the way down to 600 MHz and up to 3400MHz depending if it needs it. I don't know if the power saver will affect performance in any way but so far so good and I don't have hear that wheeeeee anymore.

    Small Unraid PC with 2 HDDs. Silverstone SG13 case with Asrock N100DC-ITX, the SATA power cable was too short so I had to improvise.

    The Asrock N100DC-ITX uses a 19v power brick so no separate PSU to power the drives. It comes with a 4 pin cable that splits into 2 SATA power.

    !

    The case I chose, Silverstone SG13, comes with a 3.5" HDD bracket but you need to mount the drive belly up so you can screw it in. The second drive I want to put where the PCIe slot is, found a nice 3d model for that. The thing is, the power cable would be too short and the drives would be too far apart to reach both.

    !

    So I removed the HDD bracket and cut 2 L-shaped aluminum stripes and I screwed the drive belly down. This way the cable now reaches both drives. I know, I could have cut the cable and made it longer but I prefer to avoid playing with power cables if I can.

    Turned out quite good. Wanted to share it with other people. Now I need to find someone to 3d print the PCIe HDD holder and find some rubber stuff to put under the L-shapes to dampen the sound of the drive. This is the 3d model, https://www.printables.com/model/385403-pci-slot-hdd-bracket but V2 with the nice feet.

    PS the drives in the images are broken so I just used them as dummy drives.

    !

    !

    That's about it.

    On an older Pentium Intel Nuc, only OpenSuse can wake it up from sleep, why?

    Linux Noob here

    The Nuc is sitting under my TV and my wife uses it mostly to watch reality tv shows, cooking shows, etc on different websites. The requirement was for the Nuc to go to sleep after 30minutes of inactivity and to wake it up with the keyboard.

    It had Leap 15.3 so I wanted to upgrade it but I managed to botch the upgrade. I decided to go with Debian instead, installed it, configured everything and when I handed it over to my wife I realized the Nuc never woke from sleep. Then I remember I had this problem in the past with it when I tried a whole bunch of distros and none of them managed to wake it up. I also read on Intel forums where people complained about the same issue with different Nucs and I think the general consensus was that it's a problem with the Nucs and it can't be solved.

    What happens is, when the Nuc is sleeping, the power LED slowly blinks. When you wake it up, the LED goes completely away, like it's turned off but you can hear the fan is starting to spin. However, you don't have any image and you have to hold the power button a lot longer to turn if off, like it soft-resets.

    So I nuked Debian, installed Leap 15.5 and it wakes from sleep without any issues. I am happy that it does and I like Opensuse but I have no idea what it does different compared to other distros in this regard.

    Satu Mare(Romania). Two German tourists thought they were in Schengen and ended up with criminal charges
    www.presasm.ro SATU MARE. Doi turiști germani s-au crezut în Schengen și s-au ales cu dosar penal

    Nu e nicio glumă! Doi turiști germani s-au ales cu dosar penal pentru că au crezut că România a intrat în Spațiul Schengen! Totul a început după ce la sediul

    SATU MARE. Doi turiști germani s-au crezut în Schengen și s-au ales cu dosar penal

    Translation with deepl:

    This is no joke! Two German tourists got a criminal record because they thought Romania had joined the Schengen Area! It all started after the surveillance cameras located near the border line, on the Garbolcz road (Hungary), at the S.P.F. Petea headquarters, around 17.40, issued an alert and transmitted images of two people riding their bicycles from Romania to Hungary, according to PresaSM information.

    The images transmitted by the surveillance cameras showed the two people riding around the concrete obstacle and the barrier on the road, illegally crossing the border from Romania into Hungary. The intervention team of S.P.F. Petea was alerted and went to the scene, but the two persons could not be identified and detained.

    At the same time, the Hungarian border authorities were informed and sent a team to the area, thus managing to apprehend the two persons. During the border meeting that took place at the S.P.F. Petea headquarters, in order to jointly investigate the border event, the Hungarian border authorities informed that the two persons are German citizens.

    According to PresaSM data, in front of the Hungarian authorities, the persons in question declared that they were on holiday and were travelling on bicycles guided by the GPS application of their mobile phones. This is how they arrived in the town of Petea, where the app showed them that there was a border crossing point, as they intended to cross the border from Romania into Hungary. Being used to travelling freely through Europe, without customs controls between countries, they did not know that they could not cross the border there.

    Can a reply to an ongoing email conversation land in spam?

    Had an exchange of emails with someone, around 4-5 back and forth emails. He then told me that my last reply never arrived. When I forwarded that email again to him, he told me that actually the original reply arrived but landed in spam... he checked it after I forwarded the initial reply.

    It's not critical or even a super important conversation but I think he lied to me. Is there any chance that a reply lands in spam if the last 4 mails in a thread arrived without a problem?

    The emails were sent from a custom domain, using Office 365 Business. I have that email address for more than 6 years and I never had a problem with my emails landing in spam or never arriving. It's the first time I am hearing about it but I think he is duping me.

    Edit Thanks all for the replies, it's good to know that it can happen.

    Wondering if I should make multiple partitions or keep it as PopOS made it.

    Linux noob here. Usually in Windows if I have a 1TB SSD, I make a 250GB partition for Windows and all of its things and I use the rest for a second partition where I install my stuff and store my files.

    Usually in case Windows decides to go belly up, I still have my files. In more than 20 years it has never happened but I've always done it like that. I mean if Windows goes bad, I can still remove the drive and insert it into a different PC and copy my files away.

    Should I shrink Partition 3 and make another one? Or keep it as it is? If I would, I read that I need to boot with a live usb to be able to shrink it. What kind of partition would I make?

    In 2017, I bought a 1TB 960 Evo for 466€. Now, in 2023 the 1TB 970 Evo Plus is 43€.

    It's incredible how much the prices have fallen and that's how it should be. Sure, I bought the 960 close to launch but still the difference is staggering.

    The 960 Evo still chugs along albeit it's a new one because a few months after I bought it, I had to RMA it. I guess that's what happens when you are an early adopter. I lost a few hours of work when the original 960 Evo decided to stop working but it also taught me to be more paranoia with backups.
