Almost every one of the fingerprint sensors in laptops are not supported by Linux due to proprietary protocols. Never managed to get stuff used by Dell or HP with Linux.

But the Grow R503 can be used over uart, what can be connected to usb with some minor additional parts.

Yes, it would be unfortunate for a new user to experience all the horror our distinguished friend EvilSocket is telling everyone today…

Keep up the good work!

Did you uninstall cups and avahi?

That’s my understanding.

And I think a small fee to get out of the googlyclaws. Paying $100 once, to host immich for the family and supporting development is a no brainer to me.

But I understand not everyone has the resources or is willing to donate.

Thanks for this. Finamp looks really nice.

Gonna recommend this to all my co workers.

It is not vulnerable to Windows viruses.

:-)

Yes, physically getting bigger.

Dell XPS had a batch laptops going crazy and pushing the touchpad up.

You will recognize it :-)

This.

Using a CEC link will make things even more simple, but that might involve additional hardware. Those raspberry thingies have native CEC on hdmi. For x86 you might have to look at some extra hardware.

And of course, Kodi is an example of a 10 foot interface.

Bluetooth or wifi, depending on the number of accesspoints…

Anyway, a really smart hack!

Sony SRS-RA8000 owner here. Can confirm it works with the plugin mentioned above.

Using Harman Kardon hardware yields in a way less happy experience.

NetApp makes storage devices, just like Dell’s DataDomain.

Looks like the ad is referring to a ST6000NM0034, a drive from Seagate. Personally, I like to stay away from that brand as far as possible.

Have had good experiences with WD.

Thanks for the pointer.

This is really huge, but people don’t quite understand that yet.

If this wasn’t caught, every system -running public sshd- could be hacked or abused/misused.

And I completely agree with the last words, corporate should pay foss projects!

Vlans firewall rules and something to route between the different networks.

This can all be achieved with pretty much every Linux installation.

Easydns.ca, no privacy issues. Nothing about me personally in the who’s db (.net tld)

Totally agree. People using cli are probably more skilled and their knowledge has been fed into these ai models.

So we will all end up with some mediocre level of knowledge, because the next input for the LLM 's will be more of the some old stuff. Flattening the curve and less innovation and smart ideas.

These kind of “solutions” are for a non existing problem. Looking at the investors, this is only about making money.

Forgejo ftw!

Self hosting here, also with runners to create a complete ci/cd line.

Still testing and fiddling, but I’m using the forgejo-runner. Renovate is just another repository, with a workflow to get it started:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '5 2 * * *'
    - cron: '5 14 * * *'

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: docker
    container:
      image: renovate/renovate:37.140-full
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Run renovate
        env:
          PAT: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
          GITHUB_COM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB }}
        run: |
          echo "Running renovate"
          cd ${GITHUB_WORKSPACE}
          renovate --token ${PAT}          

The renovate image has been pulled by hand and the forgejo-runner will happily start the image. Both PAT and GITHUB secrets are configured as ‘action secrets’ within the renovate repository.

Besides the workflow, the repository contains renovate.json and config.js, so renovate has the correct configuration.

Absolutely!

Running local, self hosted forgejo with a few runners.

Now my code is neatly checked with pre-commit and linters, build when new tags are pushed, renovate is scheduled every 24 hours to check for new releases of stuff etc.

Just a few containers and a happy user :-)

Cars. Either entertainment system or navigation or more…

BMW has quite the list of licences for opensource libraries and Linux in the about section of the car-menu.

And more and more network equipment.
