Why has Lemmy.ml and feddit.UK defederated from eviltoast, guys seem innocuous

i want to find an instance where meta is blocked and allows most content to be viewed, and disallows community creation and media hosting. looked on fedidb and either not smart enough to work it out or they dont show that type of information.

anyway thanks in advance

Something I have stuck in my head and frustrates me, was from years ago news media talking about PTSD in regards to civilians. The conversation felt very dismissive as if it was not possible to suffer from PTSD unless they fought in a war.

recently I was diagnosed with CPTSD due to a horrific home life growing up. Anyway all this has compounded to were I feel like an outsider.

I know cptsd is somewhat common and I'm wondering if anyone remembers this narrative in the news, and if anyone with PTSD/CPTSD has felt similarly?

hope this is an appropriate community

Samsung g8 monitor, ive been pining to upgrade my 1080p monitor and thought id go full hug with oled, 4k and higher frame rate (170hz apposed to my previous 144hz),

first cardinal sin: polystyrene packaging.

Second: its apparently smart which I'm taking to mean they added pointless software to it so to extract long term profit from users, have brand deals with streaming company's and to artificially age a product.

I can see a smart TVs making sense, its essentially the evolution of the TV, in general, they started with big antennas and now they have smaller internal antennas, changes to broadcasting has allowed for this.

But a monitor something that has always relied on a secondary system to function now has smart features, why the fuck call it a monitor? Its surely a tv at that point.

Although my disappointment goes further than just the smart aspect, I'd be okay if there was a non intrusive app store, but no the controls have 4 dedicated buttons I will never use, prime video, netflix, Disney plus and Samsung TV plus. If I were to ever use these services I would do so through my PC, or if I had a games console (media centre) I would use that, which then posses the question of what's the point? Did they have old android PCBs laying about the factory and thought fuck it,..

Next issue is how Samsung want me to connect to the internet, its easy to press no to connecting, the issue come from hardware maintenance which is especially important with oled. Oleds degrade quite fast, if I left the monitor on for a day with windows desktop white theme constantly displaying I may run into burn in, so most oled monitors/TVs have corrective software that'll run on command or scheduled, most of these monitors also report its history of corrective operations but Samsung demands I download an app on my phone to view this information.

Why can't tech just be one thing, now everything has to be some kind of Swiss army knife.

Edit: thought I'd look at this app (SmartThings) to see how good/bad it is, download the app and permissions aren't too bad although I dont like that Samsung wants my location, anyway ive two option: top right sign in, centre get started, I click get started and get pulled from the app to my browser met with a message > "Browser not supported

> Samsung account can only be used with the following browsers: > - Samsung Internet > - Chrome > - Firefox > - QQ Browser > - UC Browser > - Sogou Browser > - 360 Browser > - Safari > - Chromium > - Brave > - Microsoft Edge"

I am using chromium on android... This is just ridiculous. Plus a redflag to Samsung needing me to be connected to the internet whilst using the application which uses Bluetooth to connect to the monitor.

Another edit: multi screen is locked, I can't use two inputs simultaneously to create a split screen unless I connect to the internet. Ridiculous. I had this capability back in 2016 with my old lg ultra wide and now my hardware functionality is locked because I am choosing to stay offline.

Who can I go to in the UK for anti consumer practice's?

If you've seen it what's your thought, if you've not seen devotion then watch it. Great camera work, characters and intense action scenes.

got an orange pi one kind of like a raspberry pi, initially was for hosting zonemider (self hosted video surveillance) so what projects would lemmy recommend?

Well I did, wanted the git version so uninstalled ncurses to then blissfully install ncurses-git and low and behold my system shat.

Pacstraps my hero

https://github.com/squid-slime i wasn't able to code other than bash and a tiny bit of python but learning json and css through waybar has been an enjoyable experience. all thats left is a notification daemon that uses css, recommendations are welcome

I asked this same question on 3 different instances and render the same result

Edit: Go to bottom to read resolution:

am trying to make a stable link to read t-sensor bash $ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/t_sensor-temp-stable-path.rules bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", KERNEL=="hwmon*", ENV{HWMON_NAME}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" bash $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger expected result, t-sensor temp2_input file is now linked in /dev/t_sensor_temp

actual result no link in /dev bash $ cat /dev/t_sensor_temp cat: /dev/t_sensor_temp: No such file or directory even after rebooting,and running $ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules $ sudo udevadm trigger its still failing to create link.

i have stable links in /dev for gpu and cpu which work perfectly

Edit: so i may of resolved the issue and am adding this to maybe help others in the future worth noting i preface "may of" as im not sure if when a hardware change acures that udev will continue to link to hwmon* temp2_input

i first changed the rule bash ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="hwmon", ATTRS{name}=="asusec", SYMLINK+="t_sensor_temp", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'ln -s /sys/class/hwmon/%k/temp2_input /dev/t_sensor_temp'" kernel is now not present, "ENV{HWMON}" is now "ATTRS{name}" but with these edits the link still was not created. once i ran the command sudo udevadm trigger --action=add --subsystem-match=hwmon --attr-match=name=asusec then the symbolic link was created. its been frustrating but glad we got the in the end.

if someone can shine a light on the strange behavior that would be great.

Good to see this instance is back up

Last year I asked for assistance with account recovery, I enabled 2fa by mistake, instantly disabled it but alas I was met with the 2fa prompt after attempting to log back in. At the time this instance wasn't being maintain and I didn't get assistance or comment when I originally asked for help so now that this instance is active I am asking again.

If its irretrievably then no worries but if I could regain access then that would be awesome

User: squid.feddit I can give other information to the instance maintainer.

my tech savvy friend has caved under my undying admiration of Linux

I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making several applications unusable.

With this I disassembled and reassembled the card several times over several days its also connected in a custom water cooling loop. Was a stressful week and found no issues with the card other than the now removed BIOS chip, I then decided to load up another linux Wayland os and found all electron applications worked perfectly. Back to my main os I uninstalled wayland, electron24 and a few other dependency's and reinstalled. Lo and behold the system was fine....

Love you linux but holy. Had be freaking out over repairing a fairly expensive card.

Is the onus on the consumer? As much as I hate to say it I am pretty judgemental when it comes to people paying for subscriptions.

While its wholly negative to have this mind set in the modern world is it such a bad thing.

Like if we were all in a Lemmy community swimming pool and 80% of lemmys where pissing in that pool would I be unjust to be mad, my thought pattern here is by people supporting the subscription model will impacts everyone and it goes further than just more subscription only content, it impacts hardware where a lot of iot device and gaming device are less about serving the enjoyable media/useful features and more offering a portal to subscription services which impacts usabilities like rooting, custom ROMs, emulation, general tinkering, now every modern console, shady iot device has some kind of encrypted lock or circumventing that lock will also attract negative attention from corpos. At what point will consumer PCs start running locked down software with a locked bootloader.

Should we as consumers stop buying game pass, Disney plus, vibrating massarg rings, mill kits, cable TV. As to not incentives corporations.

I hope I'm not doom saying just general frustration and concern for what the future will hold. And I'd like to see what the general concus is on the subject

I am trying to set waybar to launch with appid=waybar-touch using

WAYLAND_APP_ID=waybar-touch waybar -c /path/to/custom/config

But waybar fails to launch with expected appid..

Edit : when I said app ID I actually went process

The way to launch with custom process name is by exec -a foobar-custom foobar For anyone interested.~~~~
