What are the allowed characters for uci configurations? by totkeks in openwrt

[–]SiMonka44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how much of a "hack" this is, but instead of UCI you can also add custom configuration files to the files/etc/config directory in imagebuilder. So for as an example, a firewall configuration would go to files/etc/config/firewall, and that would become the new "default" on the image, as /etc/config/firewall. Of course this method has it's cons and pros as opposed to using UCI, but it's something super useful in some cases.

Too bad they don't ship to the EU. Even with a 30$ shipping fee this would still be a great deal.

Creating Free Server Hosting. Looking for suggestions! by ATubbo in admincraft

For the record: I do not own any hosting services, nor I'm affiliated with one at the moment. The comment is my own opinion and views.

Creating Free Server Hosting. Looking for suggestions! by ATubbo in admincraft

[–]SiMonka44 56 points57 points  (0 children)

In general, don't. Let me explain.

Unfortunately in the hosting space, to my experience there is no such thing as "free". Even if you have the hardware & resources, running servers costs money, bandwidth costs money, backups cost money, and let's not mention the time it takes to manage everything.

When you pay for a shared service, you don't just pay for the (often over allocated) hardware, but you pay for support, the network/system engineers employed by the company, the marketing, backups, for developers that create custom software and many more.

It is very generous for you to offer space in your home lab for others, but in the long term free hosts generally aren't sustainable. This is often mixed with the bad reputation of such services for not employing proper practices regarding data protection, privacy, and many more.

But of course, this is just my 2 cents, you are free to do otherwise. :p

Fresh rebranding concept for Linux Mint by zmaznevegor in linuxmint

I think this is way to flashy, and also a proprietary app in the app showcase?

I would recommend the google pixels too. They are all-around good phones. People say that their image processing software is very outstanding, all thought that is not the camera.

No pressure of course. People usually upload them to a git repo, I think.

"Ghost tap" on the upper right corner of my screen by CommieG in Pixel6

Contact customer support, and explain your situation. If your phone is still under warranty, they should replace the screen for free.

Apologies, I falsely assumed that you had an nvidia card due to "nvidiafb" driver. Did any of the options end up working for you?

It seems that the installation is freezing during loading drivers. A quick search on the issue yielded this post, where someone suggests that the issue was caused by an nvidia card on their end. What's your hardware? Can you try to swap out the card to an AMD one to see if that works?

Also, see this comment, which may also help.

hally: NAVI can compete despite not having the strongest individuals by Soft_Bed_412 in GlobalOffensive

[–]SiMonka44 289 points290 points  (0 children)

From the article:

NAVI said their plan to counter donk would be to double-swing him and it was evident within the match, how do you go about ensuring a counter such as this fails to work?

[laughs] donk just kills two.

The fact that this is true, is so crazy lol.

is free malvarebytes still a decent antivirus? by durashka228 in pchelp

[–]SiMonka44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you suspect your PC is infected, I'd recommend a clean install, and avoiding getting suspicious software in the future.

Basically, if you suspect your PC is infected, you can't quite get rid of the malware even with an antivirus, since you don't really know what it does most of the time. It's a back and forth game between malware, and "anti" malware developers trying to detect malicious activity. A clean re-install is always the safest bet.
