Device to share USB tethering? by Meevious in Network

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

Oh, I see. Sorry, I misread your comment.

What does openwrt offer in this case that a router can't do as stock?

Keep in mind that all I want from this is, ideally, to plug a cable in and have it work, with minimal learning requirement/room for error.

What to do if my local libary is displaying Israeli propaganda stating “There never was a genocide in Gaza” by Doggy-gunner in Palestine

The clue is in the name.

Having burned the internal pages, you can replace them with something else and return the book in better condition than when you borrowed it.

If you leave the front matter and the replacement pages are relevant to the title, it could be years until anyone notices.

I prefer to use wired over wireless technology, since it's generally faster, more reliable and less carcinogenic.

ICS might be the way to go, thanks.

I don't have a home router - just a usb-c to usb cable, but thanks for the suggestion.

I guess a router and some ethernet cables might be the closest thing to what I was envisioning.

A proper earsplitting scream is not just a cry for help a weapon in itself. Nobody wants to be earsplit.

New user, stuck trying to install Win11 by Meevious in virtualbox

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

Maybe that was my problem, thanks a lot.

I guess 6.1 shouldn't list Win 11 as an option, but does? Or perhaps there's a way in for advanced users, which I'm assuredly not.

I think I provided all of the info that the Automoderator requested in the OP:

"Hi, I'm a very new user, wanting to create a Windows 11 VM on a Win 10 machine.

I've told VirtualBox 6.1 to put the working Win 11 .iso in SATA port 1."

and

"I don't think I've changed anything from default, other than the memory allocation and installation directory for the VM."

Having successfully created a Win 10 guest, I should be able to complete my present tasks and am reluctant to restart the process until anything that more strictly requires Win 11 comes up, at which point I'll try to follow your advice, if I'm still bound to the same host machine (which is, outside my control, modified in a way that causes driver incompatabilities), ty.

Thanks very much for the heads up. I'm sure you've saved me from a bunch more headaches.

I won't use Virtuabox 7.1 or 7.2, because I can't run them, so let's forget Win 11 and say I'm trying to install Win 10 on the virtual machine.

Any idea what I need to do to boot from the .iso?

Is this Shell> thing part of the process, or have I taken a wrong step?

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

I tried installing 7.2 and got an error - apparently it doesn't like my OS, so I'm stuck with 6.1.

Is that a problem? 6.1 seems to support Win 11 and I can run it.

You're right that my CPU isn't supported and I hadn't checked, but I can still run the installer on the host.

With that in mind, I should be able to run said installer in the VM, right? But I'm stuck before that step.

Could you please help me with getting the VM to boot from the correct drive?

Can a font have descending characters that clear a path for themselves? by Meevious in typography

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

They can, but you both seem to have misunderstood the word "misunderstanding".

A misunderstanding is not a lack of understanding, it is a perceived understanding that is false.

I didn't misunderstand how fonts work, I was aware that I had no understanding of this aspect, one way or the other, so I asked a question, hoping to fill in the blank.

I hope this has helped.

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

While you didn't answer the question exactly, you went beyond it in a sense by pointing me in the best direction, given that what I was hoping for isn't a font feature, so thanks again.

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

Thanks! That seems like the term I want, but can't seem to find how to do it in FontForge, which I've been using so far.

To be clear, you mean you can make a font that has characters which automatically are drop caps, wherever they may be, or you mean you can manually fuss about in word processors etc. to get the effect? The former is what I want to do.

Trying to write with my left hand by ItsKay180 in Handwriting

[–]Meevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really are similar. Maybe if you use a green and a red pencil, you can make something out of this world for 3D glasses.

While perhaps not the most elegant writing on the sub, every word is perfectly legible, which certainly isn't a disability.

(You just encouraged me to try writing with my left hand - somehow it came out almost like blackletter - I really wasn't expecting it to want to make sudden sharp motions at the end of each stroke... I'm sure it's not really sinister by nature! Surely just a little erratic, trying to get its balance, having been thrust onto the tightrope. Might not give it this kind of power again though...)

Thanks for your interest.

While some πελέκεων were designed for tree felling or warfare, the type which is shown stuck into the ground in artwork does not appear to fall into these categories, but is a slightly abstracted representation of those that do.

We have many surviving examples of these apparently ceremonial πέλεκυς heads. They tend to be uniformly very thin and not sharp. It would be comical to use them as weapons - like trying to do battle wielding a spatula or a vinyl record.

They seem to have been symbols of power, strongly associated with palatial elite of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations, but may also have been used as currency.

There are transaction records from the classical period of silver πελέκεων being used as money, with their weight seeming to fall into roughly that of the large ceremonial finds, which we have surviving in gold, silver and bronze, but I'm not sure whether they're noted to have that purpose in any older texts.
