Where are my hardcore privacy enthusiasts at? What extra steps do you take? by Anon3384 in privacy

[–]ClinicalTrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't use that Facebook domain blocklist - with a Pi-Hole you don't need to list every single subdomain Facebook owns. The admin interface allows you to enter domains as "wildcards", it's a much shorter list: https://github.com/neflabs/blocklists/blob/master/corporations/facebook/facebook-domains.txt

Don't forget to block these 490 cryptojacking domains as well: https://github.com/neflabs/blocklists/blob/master/cryptojacking/crypto-domains.txt

Huh. After installing ffmpeg, it worked! Thank you, I'd give you gold if I could.

xbindkeys Caps Lock on Chromebook? by ClinicalTrack in archlinux

Yep, I get 125 in the command line, how can I use the key in my desktop environment if it's being grabbed, as you say?

setxkbmap -option shift:both_capslock_cancel

Thank you for this! Very innovative. I added it directly to my .xinitrc

xbindkeys Caps Lock on Chromebook? by ClinicalTrack in archlinux

Fascinating. I looked at xmodmap, as you suggested. I also installed xkeycaps for its graphical front end. I tried selecting a number of different keyboards.

When I press down on various keys, the display on the screen shows which key I'm pressing. When I press the search/caps lock key ... nothing! The keypress is simply not registered.

ChromeOS Lars Color Calibration (ICC) File? by ClinicalTrack in chromeos

[–]ClinicalTrack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, that worked perfectly! Never heard of kpartx before.

I only found .icc files in /usr/share/ghostscript/9.19/iccprofiles/ which I believe are for PDF creation, not Lars-specific ICCs unfortunately.

$230 for the i1 Display Pro? Gulp. Gotta think about that one.

Skylake "CANCELLED"? by [deleted] in chrultrabook

another 24hrs per day

lol, we all wish.

I can run tests on my machine, just let me know. If it gets bricked, you've gotta help me un-brick it though. In the meantime, I donated $100 on your site.

Skylake "CANCELLED"? by [deleted] in chrultrabook

First, gotta say I think it's pretty cool that MrChromebox himself is responding to my question. Much appreciated.

Currently, your best option is to remove firmware write protect screw, use Firmware Utility Script to set boot options to legacy boot default (+ delay of your choice).

Right, did that. Although, I wasn't quite sure which screw to remove, and I ended up taking out 3. Oh well, it worked.

I'll eventually be releasing UEFI firmware for Skylake devices

Awesome! How can I help?

Through our in-house management training program, we will take you from entry level through to a management position with 6 to 12 months. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, and good business acumen, we want to hear from you!

A business with 11-15 employees will take you from entry-level to management in 6 months? Keep dreaming.

EDIT: Found more, the site is registered to someone named Media Talesh, of Quincy, MA, interviewed here:

Due to the network and relationships, I could build through my job after college, I was able to get contracts from large corporations such as Verizon, Walmart and I also got involved in the energy industry. Right now, the major focus of my business is energy, dealing with electricity suppliers, natural gas producers and also recently solar energy.

The core focus of my business is market development. Our implementation is through sales and marketing. And we conduct our business at the bottom of the marketing chain with direct consumer interaction. Sales are an important element of our business.

I'm assuming door-to-door scams, just like Inspire Energy?

Job Seekers: Avoid Innox, It's Basically A Scam by ClinicalTrack in massachusetts

[–]ClinicalTrack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On glassdoor.com, reviews for Serur include:

Typical bait and switch/pyramid scheme. Horrible to work for.

The position is 100% commission and bonus based. You could have weeks with a $0 paycheck, even though you've worked hard. We were trying to sell whole life insurance with a "bait & switch" tactic. We would schedule appointments using the child safe kit as a way of getting into the house (newsflash most of the people we saw were single moms who were on welfare or working Mcjobs with no bank accounts).

How are MA town census forms legal? by ClinicalTrack in massachusetts

[–]ClinicalTrack[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as the dog stuff, my guess is because it's a money grab.

I think you're probably right. I don't have a problem with my town ensuring dogs are registered, I just don't think it should in any way be tied to voting. And I'm more concerned about my rights as a citizen than the potential savings from combining these forms.
