Brb uploading a 5GiB file from /dev/urandom to make sure there isn’t a byte of space left in OneDrive for them to do this to me.

The screenshot doesn’t show any version change to signal - the version number is the same, so I was just answering why you might see an update like that since I thought that was part of your question.

Those might be flatpak “refreshes”, which show up as “updating to the same version”. As described by a flatpak maintainer, sometimes an app or runtime gets updated without changing the user-facing version number. I assume that’s what you’re seeing here.

Huh, I already signed up for it because they started requiring it a while back to access historical tax return documents through the IRS website.

Thank goodness it’s in HDR

Has anybody made a matrix app that looks like a discord clone? That sounds easier since the federated rich text chat is already made, the current clients don’t really appeal to the discord crowd.

I had a similar issue years ago in around 2018 with a Samsung nvme SSD that came stock from Dell with an XPS, me and another guy from a thread on Reddit ended up emailing with a guy from canonical and dell. The troubleshooting email chain went on for almost a year after which I just switched to a wd black and haven’t had the issue since (still using the same wd black to this day)

Anyhow, they ended up moving the discussion to launchpad, maybe perusing there might help you troubleshoot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1746340

Your ISP knows the Mac address of your router since it requests a public IP from them using DHCP. That’s why if you contact support they usually can confirm the brand of your router by doing an oui lookup.

In theory the FBI could have collected a list of MACs and optionally used an ASN lookup on the public IP and then handed each ISP their list of MACs, which the ISP could associate back to customers to contact. It would only not work for customers who spoof their router WANs ethernet mac.

But I think just patching it is a normal and fine solution imo.

I think they do this to game people who use the “rebuy” button without shopping around again. Several times I’ve bought a consumable and when I go back, the exact listing j bought from has doubled in price while many other listings are normal. That’s why I never use the “buy again” section, and if I can afford to wait I’ll find a lower or comparable price on eBay, and hope they aren’t just drop shipping me from a cheaper listing that I didn’t find on Amazon.

I think that text is from melroy, so according to him. From seeing his interactions in the kbin issue tracker I get somewhat of an egotistical impression of him, because he would often take an issue that has just been opened and not triaged or discussed what the best fix is, and he would open a PR with how he thinks it should be fixed, and it sounds like his frustration is that his hasty PRs weren’t getting merged quickly because people wanted to come to a consensus.

Maybe I’m just reading into it but it felt like he just wanted his name on something and it wasn’t happening with kbin.

Edit: I want to add that I don’t mean to shit on him as a dev or as a person - it’s possible that I’ve only seen a one-sided view of his interactions as a busy contributor who just wants to whittle down the issue list as fast as possible and that he’s got good intentions, and regardless he seems like a very capable dev. It’s just that based on my perusing of issues and discussions I’ve come across, it doesn’t seem fun to work with him to contribute, and if I were to treat the contributors list as a scoreboard and had the goal of having my name on as many commits as possible, I think it would be hard to tell us apart. I was just going to keep my thoughts about this to myself but I’ve seen some other people comment similar things in other threads about mbin so maybe it’s worth sharing my skepticism about mbin. Take from it what you will.

I always use VLC so I thought the meme was that it was one of those fake “codec not supported, go to this sketchy website” videos

Neat, it almost works in sync but it just shows an empty community with an “error loading page” toast
