Privacy@lemmy.ml•"The Quiet Renovation at Bitwarden" (it isn't good)English
41·1 month agoHow vulnerable is a VaultWarden setup to splash damage from BitWarden enshittery? I would go absolutely ham on VaultWarden if it’s independant enough from this kind of move.

Technology@lemmy.world•Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends supportEnglish
3·1 month agoThe major benefit is using KOReader instead of Amazon’s reader. Main benefit of that is configurability in my opinion. I’m new to full-time use, so I’m not aware of everything it’s capable of, but it’s already way better. My headline features are direct connection to Calibre over the network, and the lack of any marketing to me whatsoever. My nice-to-haves are arbitrary lockscreen images, Wallabag support (have yet to explore this, but looks real fun), and the built-in RSS reader.
Other than that, jailbreaking gives me the ability to fully disable ads and OTA updates.
Everything else is pretty much toys and eye candy. KOReader is the main thing from what I can tell.

Technology@lemmy.world•Users turn to jailbreaking their older Kindles as Amazon ends supportEnglish
36·1 month agoRecently bought a kindle at a thrift store, which was perfect as it was on an old firmware, perfect for jailbreaking.
Now I’ve got a nice e-reader, never gave money to Amazon for the pleasure, not even using their software now. Easily the best $8 I ever spent.

3·1 month agoIdk if it’s indicative of ADHD, but i know that many neurodivergent people report a unique, or even paradoxical relationship with stimulants (myself included, obviously).
However, standard disclaimers apply: this is anecdotal evidence, I’m not a doctor, and definitely not your doctor. Check with them, there are usually quick easy screeners available to see if further evaluation is recommended.

Yeah, I like to have one every once in a while so I can take a nap.
My partner’s kid took to calling them Bonk Bees, cause they just harmlessly bonk into everything. As far as I care that’s their scientific name, and Carpenter Bees is colloquial.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your tried and true sexual technique that always does it for your partners?English
521·2 months agoI am pan, and have been with all sorts of people, and I have this one ancient, infallible technique that always guarantees a good time:
Listening
I’m dead serious. It works wonders across the entire board, regardless of gender, sexuality, body type, ability, or equipment configuration. Whoever your partner is, communication is your most valuable tool. Whether verbal or non-verbal, listening to what your partner has to say about what they want and how they feel will always tell you what to do.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Turns out I have been updating wrong all this time! 🤦🏼English
2·2 months agoI don’t know about dnf, but pacman doesn’t do this by default. The only way to hold back packages is by writing it in the configuration.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Has anyone actually eaten or diped OREO with MilkEnglish
2·2 months agoPro tip for the milk-dunkers meetup we’re having here:
Usa a fork stabbed in the cream to keep your fingies milk-free!
Yes, I dunk them in milk. They’re awesome that way.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•New stable Steam Client update - adds controller battery indicators, quick chat, remote download management, and moreEnglish
7·2 months agoYeah, I get that gripe.
It’s just fine for most of my use-cases, though. For example, if my living room TV is in use, but updates have dropped for a game that I want to play later, I can start up my living room box, and kick off the update with my Deck.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•After a week testing Valve's new Steam Controller, it's better in almost every way - but still a bit of a niche propositionEnglish
19·2 months agoFor real. I’ve worn the thumbstick on my steam controller down to the structural plastic, and the battery door is cracked. I have one in a box because I love the thing so much. This is 100% a “once I have the money for it, it will be mine” kind of purchase.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Glasses are seen as a sign of intelligence, yet they are earned by failing a vision test, and they even let you look at the answers firstEnglish
3·2 months agoWell, for my own anecdotal evidence: My Rx is strong enough that my glasses pull my eyes inward a bit, and when I wear contacts, my main complaint is that my eyes look a bit too far apart. So in that case getting lasik and wearing glasses without an Rx would probably still result in that still being the case.

Linux@programming.dev•Raspberry Pi OS ends open-door policy for sudoEnglish
13·2 months agoThe answer to the text of the question is: that would continue to work.
sudodoesn’t re-auth while a child process is still running, which in this case issu. Untilsuterminates,sudodoesn’t have anything to say about it. To be a bit more precise, the time limit for reauth would expire, butsudodoesn’t ask for authorization, and therefore wouldn’t check if that timeout has elapsed, until the next invocation.To answer the spirit of the question: you should probably be using
sudo -iinstead.
Yeah, my partner’s kid really enjoys being the one to read out board game instructions, and it’s …not the best way for me to absorb information…
But, he enjoys the fuck out of it, so whatever. As long as I have access to the printed rules during my first playthrough, I’ll be fine.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Looking for device for Home AssistantEnglish
4·3 months agoWould be a good idea to check how close you are to the write limit, then. Pricier cards have a higher write limit, but all SD cards are limited.
Luckily, once you hit the limit, it turns read-only, so you can move to a new card pretty easy, but it will happen eventually.
Neat to know you’ve got a longer life out of the card you bought, though! I’ll have to look into cards that have a higher write limit for my next Pi project!

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Looking for device for Home AssistantEnglish
8·3 months agoBeware, HomeAssistant absolutely eats SD cards.
A pi booting from an SD card is a good way to test it out, but HA does so much logging and other writing to storage that the write limit on the card gets used up very quickly. Took my setup only like a month or two to die when I first started with HA.
If you want to run HAOS on a pi long-term, you will need to set up a different boot drive that can handle more lifetime writes.



I run my own repo for my AUR packages, with the help of aurutils, on a VM, which also needs updates. That way I get to run updates for my server before building packages before running even more updates on my clients. Makes the update O exponentially better 🤤
