  • What's the weirdest bug in a program you found in a project you didn't write?

    Jump

  • Right clicking the title bar of a window on Linux Mint, the menu appears but I can't click it until I move the window away from it (the menu doesn't close) and then it becomes responsive. I love Linux.

  • [SOLVED] How the hell do you export and import in AE2

    Jump

  • Just to clarify, the only thing you would be able to import/export from the ME Drive would be the disks. You connect the cable to the drive and then import/export to what you want to interact with.

  • I want to face my fear of driving. Looking for kindness and advice, thank you. (Long)

    Jump

  • To add to this, if your car doesn't come with those electronic blind spot indicators, go to a local car wash and see if they have a shop that sells small blind spot mirrors. They take up a small part of the mirror, but allow you to see the blind spot angle at a glance.

    I would also recommend a defensive driving course. We had one here down at a motor speedway that took us through driving on wet roads, how the car reacts to loss of traction, understanding how the car handles, etc.

  • Windows vs. Linux User

    Jump

  • Clearly the Linux user just broke their prompt by updating. Classic.

  • Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month

    Jump

  • Was about to say it always had this but I guess it is a change to the people who were grandfathered in. I personally haven't hit this limit but I only use it for a select few games that don't run natively or well on Linux.

  • Help me understand bash syntax

    Jump

  • 2>&1 pipes stderr to stdout, which would not affect a binary like file which doesn't parse stdin. You would need something like xargs file which would convert the stdout to command line arguments.

  • ELI5: How does hashing/encryption algorithms keep your password safe?

    Jump

  • One thing not mentioned is that modern password hashing algorithms will iterate your password hundred of thousand of times. This makes cracking the hash much more time intensive. For example if 1 hash takes 1ms (most hash algorithms are way quicker), then 1000 iterations of that means it will take 1 second to compute your hash from the input. The server has to spend that time to validate your password when you login, but that's a small tradeoff to make brute force attempts which will now have to calculate 1000x hashes for each input.

    We updated to the NIST recommendation of 600000 iterations a few years ago when it was released, with regular increases every year. Logins take upwards of 5 seconds but it's added security in the event the data is leaked.

  • Tutorial series for self hosting beginners?

    Jump

  • Canonical extends Ubuntu LTS support again - if you pay

    Jump

  • Totally agree with that. What I have a problem with is withholding security updates on the latest LTS releases and only releasing them on ESM. That's some scummy BS.

  • Engine fell off US cargo plane before deadly crash: officials

    Jump

  • Based on where the engine was afterward (about 70% down the runway), it was likely they were well above V1: the decision point speed. Above this it is unlikely that the plane can stop on the runway and it's better to get into the air and try to fix the problem. Based on some new video it looks like the middle engine was in a compressor stall and not producing full thrust. I don't know if the MD-11 (a trijet) can get into the air with only one engine.

  • Swapping drives

    Jump

  • Most distros use a generic kernel that contains drivers neeeded for basic operation. These kernels are larger than ones specially made for your hardware. Some specialized drivers like graphics may not be included but will run in a more simplified graphics mode that works for all cards.

  • I read that not all routers support VLANs, but I can't tell if mine does or not. I'm extremely new to VLANs and openwrt in general. Can someone give me a touch of guidance?

    Jump

  • Some consumer grade devices had unmanaged switches or hubs for their internal ports, with a single port presented to the device itself. In that case, the system can't split the ports out to have vlans on individual ports. You could still accept multiple vlans, but it would only be on the one port.

  • Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr [edit] or rather blocking malware regardless of name

    Jump

  • I think if you didn't assign a tag on the Release Profile it applies to all series.

  • "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations

    Jump

  • Oh yea, I knew I forgot to cancel something after switching my gaming pc to Linux.

  • Daily bunny no.3091 was a little overdue

    Jump

  • Flying away, or dive bombing?

  • Kovarex process for the lazy. (No circuits)

    Jump

  • Grab a deconstruction planner and add it to the filter of your merge splitter so you don't get any output on the one side. (edit: whoops, I see the ones at the top are filtered, I was talking about the one on the left)

  • A broken clock is right twice a day, but a wrong clock is just wrong.

    Jump

  • Contractors, Argocd, an AWS account and 2 top level domains

    Jump

  • I do a lot of Architecting for my company and it's often easier to have direct access to DNS to make quick changes rather than wait one or more days for an engineer to go change records. If this is just going to be a test environment perhaps you could delegate a subdomain of your current domain. E.g. Add NS records for test.example.com that point to the NS of the contractors hosted zone. This gives you control to tear it down (delete the NS records) but allows the contractor the ability to build the environment out.

    Why is RAID over USB discouraged?

    Jump

  • I have never done RAID over USB, but have done various JBOD setups using SCSI. I think the general idea is that USB having such an easily disconnected connector plus the latency overhead on translating SATA to USB to SATA again means you have a higher chance of corruption. SCSI setups typically have connectors with locking mechanisms to prevent easy disconnection.

    If eSATA is an option it might be better for the performance and it has a latching mechanism to prevent easy disconnection. You can get a 2-port eSATA PCI card for about 50 bucks.

    Oh, and if you have a free PCI port, you could add internal SATA ports to mount the drives internally.
