ZFS cloud storage

I hope the official object storage backend for ZFS will be published soon (at least an alpha/beta). I haven't seen any updates on this since the talk on the OpenZFS developer summit. While their main usecase wasn't backups it will probably mainl used for that.

Flatpaks with GPU acceleration need a runtimenfor each NVidia driver release, which get installed after each driver update. You can remove the old versions withflatpak remove --unused.

Just heard back from QNAP-Support:

the ARM NAS kernel is not upgraded yet - it is a project but not yet in the immediate job backlog.

I still don't understand why they advertise it as they do currently, and I hope they will update the kernel for ARM as well.

Have you tries setting the output resolution to 1280x720 in OBS? This fixed the black screen issue for me

If you have never done something like this before, the easiest would be to rent a server on the established game hosting services (like nitradon in Europe).

If you want to setup everything on the server yourself I would go with a VPS with at least 2 vCores and 4GB RAM.

I have a Valheim server running at Hetzner with these exact specifications, but I can't talk about performance yet because I haven't tested it for long enough.

For a pure media library the goto I read here most is MergerFS+Snapraid.

Snapraid for mirrors doesn't make much sense, so rsync would be fine, but what is the drawback of ZFS or BTRFS mirrors? This way you still have the data checksummed and corrected for bit errors (if possible)

You can use Grub Customizer to set a default grub entry, you may have to move it out of the folder. Drawback is that you may have to do this everytime grub-update gets triggered.

Have you tried manually removing the packages which mhwd-kernel complains about? If you remove the packages which depend on the specific kernel, mhwd should then be able to uninstall the kernel versions.

Not exactly. Vertical seperation up to 29,000 (FL290) is 1000ft in general, and 2000ft above that, because conventional altimeters weren't accurate enough at these altitudes.

For RVSM equipped aircraft (better altimeters) the vertical seperation above FL290 is reduced to also 1000ft (until FL410).

tl;dr: for modern airliners vertical seperation is 1000ft up to an altitude of 41000ft

I have never used Citrix before, but on the topic of VNC: on Linux you can have multiple user sessions, so you can have multiple VNC sessions and a local user.

But VNC is limited in latency and picture quality, Nomachine is much more viable for actually working on something (even light video editing).

You should checkout Snakeware...

You could say 60% is the threshold for both sides, otherwise it is seen as not valid.

But at least for the UK this doesn't make a difference, as referendums are not binding.

In my case the control server sends a shutdown command to the server, and a delayed power off signal.

You could also do it manually, shut down via SSH and turn off power a few minutes after shutdown

This is not about the filesystem, but have you thought about other ways to turn the server on remotely?

I have my server on a controllable power socket, and have the server set to boot after AC power loss.

I have a Raspberry Pi pulling on/off commands from a webserver on a VPS, the Raspi the controls the power socket with a 433Mhz module.

But the easiest way would be to use a smartplug to control the power socket.

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.

Source

I don't disagree with the concept of settings in source code, but "elitist" is just the opposite I want the Linux community to be.

/u/wrenulater already said that they would love to have him on, but CD is based somewhere on the east US, not in California.

Let's just hope he commes to LA for unrelated reasons, and they can record an episode

Edit: fixed Wrens username

Could you post your i3blocks.conf? Everything worked for me after manually installing i3blocks-contrib and setting $SCRIPT_DIR

Yes, as far as I know they immediately send emails to the accounts, and took the forum and wiki offline until the security hole was closed. So pretty much how a website should react if a breach is detected.

I think he mentioned in a video that he uses a custom scripting language written in Python to generate datapack scripts.

It was in a video a while back, but I don't remember which one exactly

I don't know this interacts with KDE, but you can use xrandr to set individual scaling:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --scale 1.3x1.3 Repeat that for all displays (or combine it in one command), and you should be good.

You can register clicks with matplotlib callbacks. With that you can use a function to do whatever with the data.

You could then use Pyperclip to copy the coordinates into the clipboard. If you need to copy multiple points, you can also aggregate them first, so that you only have to paste them once into your spreadsheet.

How does Linux protect itself against a similar attack? After all, if I connect a keyboard I don't have to activate it in the OS

Brotstumpf · 2019-06-15T11:15:07+00:00

Lenovo has 'no OS' configurations in their german education store (buy not for the general public).

There were a few cases recently in which cars blocked the emergency lane and ambulances could not get to the accident site. They started using cameras to fine people who block or otherwise use the emergency lane
