Attached a pretty cool article covering it. This is something I never would have thought of before.

This is pretty disturbing, I hope she gets a massive paycheck for this violation.

I've had two server oses here: alma linux and debian(currently). On both of them, they will hang when I shut them down from cockpit, and they hang at the end of the shutdown.

Also, it takes an hour to a day to have this issue start. if it's restarted two times in a row quickly, it works perfectly fine for some reason.

What I've tried:

• setting "acpi=off" and "acpi=force" kernel parameters in grub
• removing my nvidia gpu(i was using nouveau drivers)
• changing distros

nothing worked. here are some things that both distros had in common with eachother:

• systemd
• cockpit
• libvirt & qemu
• docker

does anyone have advice? nothing i've seen online has worked. thank you for suggestions

I've started using beets to manage my music library, but it doesn't work well with jellyfin. As you can see, it creates about a million artists off of features, and this makes it hard to use. I can't find a way to fix this in beets, so I'm considering switching, but haven't found any proper alternatives. Do you guys solve this in any way, or use a different management software that is more standard? Thank you!

RHEL 10 announced that RDP would be the preferred alternative to VNC. Red Hat replaced Spice with VNC in Red Hat 8 due to licensing issues with h.246. VNC is under featured and basic compared to both alternatives. Spice uses proprietary h.246 which caused disputes with licenses. RDP is proprietary to microsoft but has a few foss implementations.

has anyone noticed pages that are just ai slop popping up recently? they have low quality information and serve no purpose but to waste time.

if you haven't experienced these, just search up a common tech problem and click on a generically named site. chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing. if you get lucky, there might also be some blatant lies in there(for example: this site claims garmin instinct watches have an sd card).

is there a ublock origin blocklist for these? thank you for suggestions.

Hey all, I'm having an issue with my ~2009 MacBook Pro that refuses to turn on, and I could really use some help. Here are the details:

Symptoms:

The MacBook Pro doesn't turn on at all.

The charger stays green, even with the battery in.

When I connect the battery, all the battery indicator dots flash on, then turn off.

The MagSafe connector shows 12V on the pins, so the charger seems to be supplying power.

I’ve removed the battery, and the issue persists.

The battery appears to have a swelling issue.

Troubleshooting so far:

SMC & NVRAM Reset: Tried both, but still no luck. What should be noted though is that when I do an SMC reset for a few seconds the battery level indicator light will flash at one bar as if the battery is empty. This only happens when the batteries are moved.

Charger Works: I’ve tested the charger with another MacBook, so I know it’s functioning properly.

Battery Removed: Even with the battery taken out, it still won’t power on. Also note that the battery appears swollen. Do this, I will probably turn it in.

Board Inspection: I’ve inspected the board visually, but nothing seems wrong. I haven’t taken it apart more than that yet.

OS: The MacBook ran Linux with rEFInd as the boot manager.

Additional Info:

I’m not sure if the swollen battery could be related to the issue, but it seems worth noting.

I haven’t gone deep into the MacBook to check for possible other issues yet.

Anyone run into a similar problem or have any suggestions on what I should check next? I would really appreciate any help.

I refuse to connect this TV to the internet because if it does get connected it will force an update that says unless you agree with forced arbitration your TV will be unusable. I just want to change the HDMI slot 2 spaces over 🤦. Gargle my nutsack Roku.

I want a Tails-like LiveUSB OS like tails, but without the tor reliance. Does anyone have a suggestion? Heads is dead, last release 2018, but it resembles what I am looking for.

I've seen this bot here since January, and the fucking thing still doesn't let up.

Just had this thought, am I stroking it in my sleep when I'm having a wet dream? Or is it automatic?

Here's an outline of the goal of my setup:

Guest VM 0(in NAT): 192.168.101.100:80 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:8080

Guest VM 1(in NAT): 192.168.101.85:8096 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:8081

Guest 1&0: 192.168.101.100:22 --> Host: 192.168.86.73:2222

I want to forward jellyfin from a vm to a host. Unfortunately, jellyfin doesn't let me do that. Everything is alma linux.

When going to 192.168.86.73:808(0,1) in a browser, I receive unable to connect, and when I wget it, I get Connecting to 192.168.86.73:8080... failed: No route to host.

However, I can ssh into the vms from ports 2222 and 2223. This is different from my last issue where I couldn't access any ports at all, ssh or web.

I set up a hook in /etc/libvirt/hooks/qemu according to this guide, which works for ssh but doesn't work for Jellyfin. I know jellyfin is working, because from my host machine I can run wget 192.168.101.100 and it returns the jellyfin home. I also know nginx isn't the issue for the same reason.

Here is my specific hook file:

Keep in mind I have docker running so some rules may not be relevant.

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward returns net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

I've set the firewall backend of libvirt to iptables in /etc/libvirt/network.conf:

firewall_backend = "iptables"

Trying to solve this issue originally, I switched from Rocky to Fedora, but on my rocky and alma install this worked fine both times.

Thank you so much for the continued support with my issues!
