It truly baffles me how teachers could morally justify that. I would immediately think “Wait, if I make my students buy my textbook for the unit, I’m just fleecing them and they have no choice in the matter.” and you would naively hope that anyone else would also feel the same way.
The digital sign the local university has is powered by a Raspberry Pi - I caught it rebooting while driving past
For me, my default browser is LibreWolf with several privacy hardening extensions, but if I do come across a website that fails, my usual route goes LibreWolf > Firefox > Ungoogled Chromium
If it doesn’t work beyond that then I just won’t use the website.
While I’m far from being a sysadmin I’m in the same boat. Main study laptop is Linux but I just end up using Windows on my gaming PC for the same reasons.
I think this is a bad take, a take that assumes one is superior for using Linux over proprietary alternatives
I mean that’s a fair assumption of what their ticker might’ve been
Looking up the specs of a D270, looks like the memory is upgradable.
It also looks like the Intel Atom N2600 it has (from my reading) is actually a 64-bit processor
I’d probably say you shouldn’t have much trouble finding a bigger DDR3 memory stick for it for dirt cheap or free from an e-wasted notebook
Ultimately it depends if the performance loss you’re finding is memory limited or CPU limited right now, but I would think that giving it 2 or 4GB + giving it 64-bit would go a long way
This all happened two weeks before I started, so I don’t know the exact details. If it was set up the way I think it was, I’d say yes, the DC was in it’s own VM and then a separate VM would’ve been used as a NAS. Of course being hardware RAID the whole host server went down when that card failed.
They probably didn’t have a second DC set up due to the DEFCON 5 levels of “We can’t work!”
They were ultimately planning on going to the cloud anyway from what I heard and that catastrophe just accelerated that plan ahead
I got a server from ewaste because the RAID card did fail and having SAS drives they couldn’t even pull data from it with anything else. It was the domain controller and NAS so as you can imagine, very disruptive to the business. As they should they had an offsite backup of the system and so we just restored onto a gaming PC as a temporary solution until we moved them to M365 instead.
I just use software RAID on it now and so far so good for about 180 days.
I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync’d up to my Nextcloud instance.
Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It’s also an entirely consistent UI between accounts
Short answer: GeyserMC sidesteps that player authentication process Java players need to do
Long answer:
I’ve used and set up GeyserMC before. It sounds like the server you’re joining has online-mode on, which requires all Java players who are joining to have a valid Java account and current authentication.
GeyserMC, being a mod to the server, entirely sidesteps this entire process. Your Bedrock cracked client requests to join and GeyserMC, being the way your client communicates with the server, just let’s you in. It just sends your client the chunks, the entities, etc. and lets you interact with them, and Java players are shown an additional Player entity (being you).
GeyserMC actually has authentication a server owner can set up that does require a valid Bedrock account or valid Java account, but it seems the server(s) you’re playing hasn’t set this up.
My thoughts exactly seeing this post. Haven’t heard that particular rhetoric here before. Typing this from my Pixel 7a running GrapheneOS
Should be the same link without the tracking
The question is so generic and open ended it’s not a surprise. The only filter on this is “runs well on ThinkPad” and “lightweight”, which are both up to interpretation
Can completely agree with the LMDE 6 recommendation
I decided on the basis of making my hardware last as long as I can, I chucked an i7-2760QM into my Latitude E6420 and 16GB DDR3 memory, shit actually runs flawlessly with LMDE. It even was able to run Windows Server 2022 in a VM while having me screen share said VM for an assignment I had.
Oh, was this why DuckDuckGo was down yesterday?
I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.
If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that
Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing
For the phone bit, I started off with really old smartphones like a Galaxy S1, but basically any old old phones are really built like mini laptops and are usually pretty modular as they weren’t often water resistant or actively anti-repair
However I fully get your point and fall into the same boat with cars
I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.
This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.
Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.
This might be for the better, but Discord was so infuriating about updates and forcing you to download them what felt like 50% of the time I opened it, I gave up and just use it in Ungoogled Chromium now. I’m pretty sure within a few months I ended up having 15+ debs of Discord in my Downloads folder.
For anyone else trying to use the native Discord app on Debian, I think they’ll find this a major treat.
