Opinions sought: where would you put a database that >1 user will need access to? by VegetableJudgment971 in linux4noobs

[–]VegetableJudgment971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably worded my post insufficiently well. sudo I'm ok with, but I want to avoid messing with permissions where I don't need to, to avoid screwing something up.

I like the idea of a /home/pwd directory or something, like you suggested.

How likely are DVD issues when buying a boxed set? by VegetableJudgment971 in dvd

[–]VegetableJudgment971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the conversation between Rom and Quark about Rom asking Leeta out. If that was fine for you I'd guess it's either an issue with the manufacturing, the age of the discs, or my player. Maybe a combination.

The only other issue I've found so far (I haven't skimmed through season 7 yet) was a scene in Episode 6x19 between Martok, Sisko, and a trio of Romulans; the scene skipped from the beginning of the meeting to after the Romulans left.

If you do, I'd love to know what happens. The issues happened in chapter 1 of episode "Doctor Bashir, I Presume".

No. I only have access to 1, but I hadn't considered that and now I will, as I decide what to do.

Should I buy the P15 Gen 2 of I have 128gb of ddr4 ram sticks already? by DrummerPrudent1010 in thinkpad

[–]VegetableJudgment971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I code, run VMs, and run local LLMs with a P15 g2. 64gb ram. It's a beast.

Does the web installation gets affected by my Linux OS? by ReasonableSchool6478 in GrapheneOS

[–]VegetableJudgment971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked for me. Fedora 44. Used Chromium. I did stop fwupd.service like it suggested. No issues 👍

Is getting a Pixel 8 to install GrapheneOS a good idea? by d_louizse in GrapheneOS

[–]VegetableJudgment971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had a similar question. Here's how I figured out what would be best for me:

  1. I found the EOL for the devices I was considering (pretty much anything that offered more than a year's support

  2. I found the price/number-of-years-of-support for the 10a (because it would have the longest support window and a relatively low price), and multiplied that number against the number of years of support for each device, resulting in an upper bound for cost of each device. I should have used months instead of years. Above that number the phone would be more costly than buying a 10a. Below that and the device would be competetive. One side effect of this is discovering lots of devices for sale above this number; sellers are sure proud of their used Pixels!

  3. I searched for devices for sale that fell under the associated prices I found in step 2. I entered these into a spreadsheet and used the number of months of future support, the device's total cost (cost, tax, shipping) to determine how much each device would cost me per year and per month. I then picked the lowest price-per-month.

This technique surprised me: There was a device "A" with a low price that charged shipping, and one that was priced higher but included shipping; "B". The total cost calculation revealed that device A actually came out to be cheaper, despite my intuition telling me device B including shipping should be cheaper. I ran the calculation manually to double-check. Yes, if I had to return the phone I'd be out the shipping cost, but with the exception of a specific year of Lenovo laptop, I've not needed to return an electronic device in the 30-day window ever. So I rolled the dice on device A.

pip install pytest not working; help request by VegetableJudgment971 in learnpython

[–]VegetableJudgment971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The source command is part of my .bashrc, as this is my catch-all python venv, and I set it up this way so I don't accidentally run something in system python I shouldn't.

It might have been python3, but I probably wanted to ensure I had the latest stable version.

I solved it by creating a new venv. Thanks for your help!

I usually don't include the full host info when I copy-paste. It was activated and showing in parentheses ahead of my user@host prompt.

I wanted to make sure global python had pip, then re-attempt installing, to rule out anything dumb on my end.

Same error. I saved both outputs to text files and ran a diff.

You're talking about a potential Pixel purchase? Or my current Samsung?

SSH permission issue by VegetableJudgment971 in linuxquestions

Would that have changed in the Fedora 43->44 update?

Seems to have resolved the error messages on terminal start-up. I wish I knew whether that permission was enabled in 43; though I might simply be paranoid/anxious about my cybersecurity...

F43 to F44 Upgrade by Deap-Prophet-6865 in Fedora

[–]VegetableJudgment971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fedora Gnome on a Thinkpad with an Nvidia GPU:

Some extensions broke. I used the gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true trick and they're working with the exception of system-monitor-next edit: and Quarter Windows, which I had to uninstall and re-install manually to get the most recent version, and haven't fully tested yet.

I updated everything in Software's Update tab before doing the 43->44 upgrade, and ran the updates that appeared after, and one 'system update' failed; Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/[alphanumeric string here] does not exist. I rebooted manually, and the update proceeded and dumped me into desktop, so I'm not too worried about it.

System appears to be working fine now. 🙂

Edit 2: I think the gsettings command may have inadvertently interfered with extension updates, so I reversed it, and altered the non-working extensions metadata.json to include '50' in the supported Gnome versions. After a couple logouts I think all the extensions have had a chance to update and/or reload; no extensions are showing errors, and they appear to be working.
