Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?
  • wired.bluemarch.art runs on the cheapest Hetzner VPS, so €4.18 per month plus yearly domain cost. Right now there is only one active user on this instance so the price for an active user is a bit high, but I don't really care because I would pay for a VPS even when I don't run a Lemmy instance on it.

  • PSA: How to install Brother HL-L5210DW printer under Fedora 40 using IPP-over-USB
  • This method seems to not work reliably with Brother-HL-L2370DN-series printers right now. At least after a quick search I've found a bug report about an infinite loop problem in certain circumstances and sadly with my HL-L2372DN I was unable to print at all (infinite loop with occasional ! USB[0]: zero-size read error; CUPS 2.4.10 and ipp-usb 0.9.27).

    For Brother HL-L2372DN it is possible to use Gutenprint with the supplied Generic PCL 6 Printer wide margin printer driver but two sided printing is quirky sometimes if you print odd number of pages.

    Anyway, thanks for your post!

    Windows 11 vs. Ubuntu 24.04 Linux Performance For The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X Review
  • Phoronix did a really in-depth review of Zen 5 which is refreshing. From the Windows based gaming biased benchmarks you can't really see where Zen 5 really shines.

    btw {"code":"command-failure","msg":"ffprobe Failed with exit status: 1"} on the tl;dr image.

    What should I lie to my boss to get out from unpaid "voluntary" overtime?
  • > On this Saturday (tomorrow) my boss asked me to get to work, because of a “family day”, for no real pay and no additional leaves, especially not for a month at least, because the aforementioned construction work.

    In normal circumstances you should've got a weekly work time schedule where it's written down and if there's no work for Saturday in that schedule then the call for Saturday work can be ignored. (Munka törvénykönyve 97. § (4).)

    Thanks to "veszélyhelyzet" (bruh) that rule is temporarily changed now for national defense employees. (120/2020. (IV. 16.) Korm. rendelet 5. § (7).) If my interpretation is right that rule should remain unchanged for employees who are not a national defense employee.

    I think you should read Munka törvénykönyve 56. A rendkívüli munkaidő too.

    > In addition I also have epilepsy, and my medication has really strong side effects, many of which are so bad that I should have been given different medication, except my doctor refuses to see me.

    I think you should search for an another doctor if you can. You don't have to visit your old general practitioner to sign up at a new one, they can exchange data behind the scenes.

  • Where I can buy the cheapest non-counterfeit MC68000/MC68HC000 within the EU?

    Hi,

    I am planning to build a computer based around a Motorola 68000 just for fun. I already ordered 3 MC68HC000FN20's from a Chinese eBay seller but they are visibly rebadged chips with rough surface so there's a chance they are not 68000's at all - we'll see when I can test them in an open loop as described in '68000 Hardware Manual'.

    Anyway, I think it would be wise to buy a non-counterfeit one from a trusted seller. I tried to search for a shop where 68000's still sold and I found that I could buy a "MC68HC000FN, 20 MHz" or a "CPU 68000/8 MHz Motorola (64-pin DIL)" from Vesalia Computer for 11.9 EUR. I would like to ask is there a trusted shop where I can buy a not necessarily NOS MC68000/MC68HC000 for a cheaper price within the EU?
