(FTB) Vendor has no building control cert for a chimney breast removal
Background: we're first time buyers who had our offer accepted in February.
We've had a smooth process so far, including an initial reduction of ~£5000 to cover a new roof since the house is Edwardian (ca. 1905) and has the original roof still. At this point, we've got deeds and transfer docs signed so if we were to drop other issues it would be ready for transfer of contracts.
However, one sticking point is what our surveyor spotted in the loft with the structual support for the chimney breast. It appears to be supported by a gallows bracket that was fitted with screws (not bolts) and "wouldnt pass building control" in his own words.
We've requested certificates for the work done here and it appears the vendor doesn't have any. It is possible the work was done before this was as strictly required as now, but we're worried that this can vause issues for buildings insurance etc. if something crops up later. Regularisation is also pretty hefty (~£1000 for Stockport CBC) and could tak
Not to mention that MBFC is Israeli affiliated lmao
This is a regular occurrence and honestly we need to stop recommending dual boot. Use separate drives if you need to, but sharing the same drive is destined to brick something
They probably didn't, but it's okay because they quickly googled a few terms and linked their Wikipedia articles to seem smart.
Because the idea that America is a "peacemaker" and that Hamas is an ontologically evil party on par with Israel is an easy way out of having to recognise that the US government is actually a barrier to peace around the world.
Actual brainworm comment. Maybe take a look at the proposals in the Camp David/Oslo accords and consider why Israel was so excited to sign a "peace deal" which have them 80% of the land, 100% of the military control, and total domination of political and economic affairs over Palestine.
As I said, feel free to log into Reddit dot com if your goal is to experience the internet fed to you by the US state department. Spamming muh tiannamen or muh russia when you're clearly fine with SOME war crime denialism is the sign of a mind that clearly isn't ready to graduate from the funko pop subreddit.
for sure, I thought the hire was weird in the first place. Did just mean that it doesn't look like GNOME fired her lol.
She did do some good stuff but GNOME really did get what they asked for

Rarely, but I've contributed to a couple that I use.
Also, just a note that writing big reports is a valid contribution! It can really help both the regular maintainers finding and fixing bugs, but also gives new devs more potential work to pick up for first contributions.
In theory they (or someone else) could just bundle an open source copy of the assets no different to having a different texture pack in a game.
GNOME Foundation Announces Transition of Executive Director | Holly Million stepping down after 10 months
GNOME announced an interim director of Richard Littauer, who joined last week.
Holly's resignation appears to be personal, as she intends to pursue a PhD in Psychology.
There's some decent forks currently so I wouldn't worry about the technology, but yeah the organisation is probably going to implode and reorg soon
Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.
I'll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I'll have to look into that 👀
Mozilla has loads of projects, not just the browser. I doubt more than a 30 work exclusively on the engine nowadays.
Andreas Kling, the founder and lead dev, has a massive love for Twinings tea and spent a few Dev logs working on improving their website with the end goal being ordering his tea from them :)
EDIT: There's a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you're brave.
It's even worse, though. They've all seen the emperor without his clothes - barely able to form a coherent sentence whilst his aides scramble to keep him from mentally deteriorating into a coma before November. Yet I'm watching liberals convince themselves that his PR-controlled twitter is somehow evidence that the president is not only lucid but competent.
Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex
Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I've had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a "sample" subdirectory.
Does anyone know if I can sort it so these files import properly? Or how to filter them before downloading? I'd rather a fix if possible because certain torrents don't have many options.
I love morons on this app implying this Biden tweet very obviously written by one of his staff is somehow representative of his superior mental state.
At least Trump is honest enough to be senile in the open, but you all run circles around trying to convince yourselves that Biden isn't 3ft in the grave. Own it, admit you supported a sundowning genocide supporter
Can't believe people were seriously claiming this app was controlled by tankies a few weeks ago because a genocidal sundowning pensioner has suddenly got this ENTIRE platform clamouring to defend him because they can't bring themselves to realise how badly they fucked up by ever allowing the petulant child-sniffing freak to ever run in the first place.
This man is all yours. He enabled a genocide and oversaw the largest attack on your civil rights in a generation without anything but a few tweets, but you'll all cream over a very obviously PR-written tweet versus a man who runs circles around him only because he also hasn't succumbed to his own mental degradation yet.
"were crushing it" as I'm crushing thousands of Palestinians under rubble made by US bombs that he gleefully supplied to a warmongering fascist?
It would be nice if people read the post and the project before randomly making assumptions such as implying the project started from scratch yesterday or its run by some amateurs, this is a 4 year old project! It's founded by a former KHTML/Webkit developer for Apple!
Sure, but an individual website may use only a few of those standards. Ladybird devs will pick a website they like to use - Reddit, Twitter, Twinings tea, etc. and improve adherence to X or Y standards to make that one website look better. In turn, thousands of websites suddenly work perfectly, and many others work better than before.
Ladybird is largely conformant to the majority of HTML standards now. It's about the edge cases (and where standards aren't followed by websites) and performance. This isn't a new project.
Hardware accelerated transcode - What is actually supported on Linux?
Sure, I could just google this, and I have! However, the results are a bit confusing:
Plex Documentation
"Only Intel and Nvidia" Sure, cool.
Literally every other forum discussing this stuff
"Oh yeah I used my [Not Intel or Nvidia chip] and it worked out of the box"
So which is it? Because I'm really not interested on supporting Intel, but if getting HW Transcoding Plex requires them then I'll have to consider migrating to Jellyfin.
TIL about the utility "Smokeless_UMAF" That lets you access advanced BIOS options on AMD-based systems.
Contribute to DavidS95/Smokeless_UMAF development by creating an account on GitHub.
What is it?
You can use Smokeless_UMAF to configure almost all options on AMD systems including UMA Buffer size (For systems like the steamdeck and laptops), RAM overclocking, CPU power states and voltage settings, and much more, even if your system's BIOS doesn't expose the option for you.
Tutorial for increasing your UMA buffer on an AMD Phoenix Laptop
Boot into a FAT32 drive with the downloaded Zip extracted to the root, and then use the "Device Manager" section to locate the UMA buffer size.
The location within the utility is at
Device Manager > AMD CBS > NBIO Common Options.
Once set, back out and apply the changes, rebooting your system. You can then confirm that the option has been applied by checking your system monitor of choice (Windows > Task Manager, Linux > Whatever) and checking to see if your available RAM has decreased (indicating greater allocation of memory to the iGPU).
This may not remain applied through BIOS updates, and may cause hardware damage i
Baking 2D nav regions - Can I use a Polygon2D as the source?
Child Polygon2Ds of a nav mesh by default act as obstacles, so the nav mesh avoids them. However, I just want to use the Polygon2D as the source for the nav region and remain its own node so I can do stuff like, modulate it when the player hovers over it with their cursor.
Thousands of tents set up in central Gaza as Israel prepares to enter Rafah
Israel purchased 40,000 tents in early April, allegedly in preparation to evacuate civilians from Rafah ahead of a widely feared ground assault
So Israel has built a camp.. to concentrate.. Gazan civilians. Is there a name for such an unprecedented facility?
Welshcakes!
A bit late with these, we made em a couple days after St. David's day

blackberry jam was homemade too, from last year.
Is 6.0.1 available on KDE Neon yet?
I haven't seen the update come through to my system but since I have a more-than-slightly-borked grub setup, I have a feeling it could be to do with that.
As a side note RE: above -- Are people running a kernel newer than 6.5.0-18-generic ?
Yuzu & Citra devs fold to Nintendo's demands | Pay $2.3million to settle, take down github, domains, patreon, discord, with immediate effect.
A sad day for emulation and open source advocates, and a reminder that Nintendo can and will destroy you if they see fit.
Hopefully their works will live in the saved repos just as ReVanced was able to live on after YouTube shut the original project down.
removed my mint partition from my kde-neon system and now grub won't boot :-{
The title explains it well. But I installed Mint on a 2nd partition, then deleted it since I no longer used it, and now Grub dumps me to the command line on boot :/
How do I recover?
EDIT: gonna give up. Fuck grub lmao EDIT2: Just reinstalled mint and used the grub it gives to fix everything lmfao

Getting memory corruption artifacts when running a fullscreen app at a high/native resolution
I have a Lenovo 14aPH8 (Ideapad 5 gen 8?) which has a high DPI Screen with an AMD 7840HS (780m iGPU).
It's giving a bunch of memory corruption when on youtube in fullscreen, or before I reduce the resolution of a fullscreen application (Assetto Corsa Competizione is the only I've tried so far) from the native resolution to 1080p.
I previously RMA'd the Laptop due to similar artifacts on Pop!OS, and they confirmed the entire motherboard was replaced. However, the artifacts didn't go away so I tried KDE Neon which thankfully didn't have the same issues, until I tried gaming and youtube.On X11, the issues are gone, but as a fan of fractional scaling and touchscreen gestures I'm still using Wayland.
While this could be a hardware issue (I can't confirm as the laptop is so new not many people have it, let alone on linux) I'm sure this is software related because it only happens on X11, and I've also seem similar reports by nVidia users on Wayland.
Anyone able to signpost me if this i
Getting graphics artifacting on my 7840HS laptop, even after a motherboard replacement. Is it a driver thing?
I've installed Pop!OS after getting my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5 back from the warranty repair. Supposedly they changed the motherboard (which I don't doubt, it was waiting a week for new parts apparently), but even after that I'm still getting graphical errors and bugs when moving between desktops and other window animations. I know X11 can be a bit buggy at best, so it could just be that on top of the newer SoC.

Wayland heading for default as Mint devs add to Cinnamon 6 • The Register
Plus Linux Mint 22 to be based on Ubuntu 'Noble Numbat'
TLDR: XFCE and Cinnamon devs are begging beginning to work on Wayland support.
