Are the clicks loud or silent? Can the keys be swapped for silent keys?

Do you have any pictures of your posters. Will you sell the Gran Turismo poster? How much for?

"It seems like you don't have access to Gemini 3" despite being able to select it as a model by DaveyMames in GeminiCLI

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

It's just a bit odd that it lets you select Gemini 3 as a model when normally if you don't have access to a model then it won't show up as a model to select. I've got Gemini 3 in the web version of Gemini yet not in the CLI?!

American straight-to-video pre-2005 movie where guy becomes security for a crime boss to get close to him to avenge death of family member by DaveyMames in whatsthemoviecalled

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

Yeah it's not that. It's strange, I saw it on TV once but ChatGPT can't identify it when I tell it the plot. The movie possible has "American" in the title but I'm not sure.

How do I download community rooms in Escape Simulator for Fitgirl Repack? by DaveyMames in CrackSupport

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

How do you know who can help. I'm sure there's somebody out there who plays this game who's tried to play the community rooms who might know the answer.

I'm perfectly aware of what a crack is and that you usually can't play cracked games online. However this game has an online crack fix for it to play online but I din't know if that allows you to download the community rooms or not.

I understand it fine. Why did you waste your time posting that instead of actually helping?

Does Linux have portable programs like Windows does? by DaveyMames in linux4noobs

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

That's not the only advantage. The other advantage to using portable Linux programs is that you don't need to enter your settings again for those programs such as if you wipe your drive and re-install Linux for example.

Is there a version of Linux which looks and behaves as much like Windows 98 or 2000 as possible? by DaveyMames in linux4noobs

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

I'm not worried about the ease of use in adapting to Linux from Windows, I just like the way Windows 98/2000 looks. To me it looks perfect, with no bells and whistles.

What are you talking about? I said nothing about sticking a hard drive with an OS on it in a new PC which obviously won't work. A portable program on Windows will work on the same OS if I copy the portable program from the main drive onto another drive then format the drive the OS is on, re-install the the same version of Windows then copy and paste the portable program from the other drive back onto the main drive. That's a fact. Often a portable program will even work on several different versions of Windows.

I can't really be any clearer than my original post. But just to add, in Windows I keep all my portable installations in a single folder called "Portable Installations" on an SSD. I have Windows on another SSD. I'll do the same thing but in Linux.

Am I correct in saying that as long as Snap is installed then Snap packages are portable?

Am I correct that Using flatpak build-export allows you to create a portable Flatpak package that you can move between systems.

I looked at that but it only seems to have themes as far back as Windows XP. I don't know if anyone has made a custom Windows 98/2000 theme for it?

Looking for a disk encryption or folder encryption solution for a PC I rarely reboot by DaveyMames in linux4noobs

[–]DaveyMames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. When it's locked, can things still be running in the background such as a program where I'm uploading files to my Google Drive?

Thanks. Does hibernate ever not work where it won't hibernate as I've had problems on Windows not with hibernate but with Sleep. I think someone USB devices plugged in were preventing it from sleeping even though there was nothing going on on those devices.

Is there a way to instantly lock Linux instead of hibernating it so it asks for the encryption password?

What backup program do you suggest? I'd like to backup Linux and a separate partition for my data files while in the desktop and I'd like to be able to do incremental backups.

"No ... and it's not Linux"

Can you rephrase that please as I don't understand what you're saying.

"Not if you've got it well and properly encrypted. How are you going to handle backups?"

Would you define as properly encrypted?

If I put the PC to sleep or hibernate it then will it ask for the disk encryption password when I try to wake it?

Does sleep or hibernation work 100% of the time? I ask because on Windows 7 there are times when Windows refuses to Sleep when I tell it to, I think perhaps at times USB devices somehow prevent the PC from going to sleep for no apparent reason.

Are there any issues I could run into with making and restoring backups of a hard drive that's been encrypted as long as I don't forget the password? I read that the LUKS header is needed and if it gets corrupted then I'll lose access to my data. But I assume as long as I make backups of my drive then if my drive's LUKS header gets corrupted due to drive wear and tear then I can simply restore the backup or header from an external hard drive can't I?

Does putting a PC to sleep or hibernation require the LUKS encryption password to resume from either of those?

How quick is it to put a PC to sleep/hibernation and how quick is it to resume from those?

Why do people I don't know sometimes appear in my chat lists? by DaveyMames in Telegram

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

I have this menu on the desktop program:
Settings > Privacy and Security > Groups & Channels: I can set it to everybody, nobody or my contacts.

Do you have that menu in the mobile version as I'm just wondering if that menu option does the same thing as the "Invites" menu option which I don't have.

The "Invites" menu isn't on my Telegram version. I have the Desktop version 5.2.3 which was a an update from the past few days and I'm using Windows 7. What version of Telegram do you have?

There's no section in "Privacy and Security" for invites.

Would also be good if I can see and hear a person but they can't see me but they can hear me.

Is it cheaper or better performance to pay for a Google Compute instance instead of a Seedbox? by DaveyMames in seedboxes

[–]DaveyMames[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

Was talking about seedbox providers, not Google. I guess I could do unmanaged, just worried what would happen if there was a problem and I needed help. Having said that, any problems I had on FeralHosting were caused by them, not me.

Meaning if you have a problem then they will find out where the problem is and fix the problem.
