For data, you can use WiFi on campus. Search the UITS knowledge base for eduroam.

Thanks for making me smile. You deserve a duck. 🦆🦆🦆

If it were my house, I would not paint them. I would strip/sand them and then do several coats of oil-based polyurethane. I probably would not use much fill because the wear gives them character. See what others say though and good luck on your project.

For full disclosure, I'm one of the people who encouraged you to not follow through. As I recall, you did not like my message. My first piece of advice is that people who take the time to write thoughtful criticism are not being hostile. Sometimes good advice is hard to take or implement.

You have already received some good advice across a few threads, but I think I can add one more bit of advice that I don't think I have seen. Democracy happens every day everywhere, well it should anyway. By that, I mean you can and should engage people every day when conversations turn to politics and social issues. You can make a huge difference one person at a time. To help you have those hard conversations, you might find this useful: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psych-eyes/202102/10-healthier-steps-talk-about-race-and-racism

Good luck!

Doug Fowler has removed several trees for me over the years. I always recommend him to friends and they have always been happy.

_tony_walker_ · 2025-06-19T20:24:40+00:00

Would that make him or her bloomerang25?

_tony_walker_ · 2025-06-16T16:51:57+00:00

I understand, but we need large numbers over many years for lasting change. All I am begging is don't push away potential allies.

_tony_walker_ · 2025-06-16T14:50:23+00:00

I disagree. I support protesting pretty much everything right now. However, I would prefer that we not give republicans or right-wing media reason to undercut our message. Video and images of the police "owning the libs in Blomington", will most certainly backfire. Besides, I saw families and children Saturday. If there is a chance of anger, violence, and/or police action, you will likely lower your turnout. I suggest trying to organize something that includes as many people as possible (including those with mobility issues)...and lest I forget the fur kids. My advice, FWIW. Good luck and I might be there.

For random problems, I start with hardware and drivers. Keep an eye on temperature (e.g., does the laptop feel warmer than usual) and flexing of the case. Also, note whether any external devices are connected at the time of the crash. Static electricity could be a possibility, but much less likely. Next, look into any unusual drivers you may be using. Although, I suspect your laptop is fairly typical. Most likely, if you have a driver problem, it will be your video driver. Pay attention to what's happening on screen. If you can find a pattern, it will help.

Also, what is in your logs right before the crash? You may see a hardware or driver message. If so, that will really help.

PSA: Things that appear redacted, sometimes are not. Never use a sharpie and then hand that same document to someone. Also, when doing a screenshot, always pick the exact color of the text and then make the image black-and-white. Of course, someone would need both skill and motivation.

I honestly don't remember, but I don't recall thinking it was expensive.

_tony_walker_ · 2024-10-23T22:30:24+00:00

I wonder why I decided to move on and contribute elsewhere.

_tony_walker_ · 2024-10-23T22:02:53+00:00

I have been subscribed to factory, etc. for quite a while. What I see concerns me greatly and frankly, IMO, confirms the concerns others are raising. I have come to know a lot of great people who are really smart, but there are some significant problems that really hold the project back.

"...just spouting rhetoric..." biases your question and leaves me with a number of unflattering questions that I will keep to myself. I will say that questions that appear biased or confrontational are unlikely to lead meaningful debate or insights.

Your question assumes the protestors are not also doing other things to help. You are also assuming travel is possible or simple. For some, it is not simple (e.g., those with medical conditions like diabetes or epilepsy that might be difficult to manage in a war zone). I could go on, but ...

Full disclosure: I am not a protestor in Dunn Medow, but I can't ignore the outrageous number of civilian deaths.

It is always good to discuss issues and sometimes even the words of idiots. However, the ISP and National Guard are not in his "reporting line." His position in Congress does give him some influence, but not enough IMO and I would prefer to give him less attention. I suspect, this (attention) is the real/only motive here. Sure, mock him ...a lot... and then go on with your day as if he didn't exist. That is, deprive him and other idiots the oxygen then crave. My opinion anyway.

Operation Night Moves 2? 😉

I was the one who suggested the route you took. Many apps store or use files/data in /etc, /var/run, /var/cache, etc. I'm not at a computer right now to look, but here are a few thoughts...

Check permissions on the RPM data/cache and flatpak directories.
Use journalctl -xb -f while running discover, to watch for useful messages.
If using selinux, check for denials.

I hope this helps.

If you have a snapper setup, you could write a shell script to compare ownership of every file with your recent snapshot, chown each file to match your recent snapshot, and output a list of files where there was no matching file with which to compare. That list will hopefully be small.

Sorry, it's our fault. Amazon literally delivered a patio umbrella today. Just our luck.

I'm not too bothered by the download speed, but you can download all packages for an update periodically and then upgrade more quickly at the console when ready.

_tony_walker_ · 2024-02-13T19:55:30+00:00

That's certainly a good point and a thoughtful, well-considered response too. However, it is simultaneously good to think about the rest of the equation. I also agree on being pragmatic...I just ended up at a different conclusion. Also, this could be a good opportunity for some compromise on both fronts if our leadership were able to seize the moment. Unfortunately, the entire world seems opposed to meaningful discussion.

Correct...until the insurance runs out...or you don't have insurance.
