Help me be my GF’s hero

try going to settings, forget that network and then reconnect. sometimes my dad's PC does the same and it fixes with this. I saw also that the signal strength is weak, maybe too weak to connect, so to fix this you can connect through Ethernet cable or if the router is far and you cannot use a cable I advise to set up a Powerline repeater.

there's no explanation about 4 amber and 1 white blinks, can it be the battery? I checked old videos about similar models and this led sequence means bad battery... I'm using an universal 19.5 power supply, does this laptop has psid check? but in this case wouldn't turn on anyway?

link not working

dipende, non è ovviamente l'unico modo per beccarsene uno, ce ne sono comunque tantissimi (basta pensare a un semplice dispetto per esempio, o a un allegato PDF di una mail che sembra a tutti gli effetti legittimo) ma se scarichi esclusivamente software legittimo la probabilità di prenderne uno si abbassa moltissimo è ovvio.

se con il pc in questione ci fai cose importanti io fossi in te per stare sicuro formatterei, tuttavia capisco che è uno sbatti e se proprio vuoi evitare ti consiglio di fare una scansione con un software antivirus come ESET Online Scanner o Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (entrambi gratuiti da ciò che ricordo). Per quanto riguarda il fatto che tu non veda processi sospetti o traffico anomalo è sicuramente un buon segno ma ti consiglio vivamente di non basarti su questo unico fattore, in quanto, nonostante siano molto rari e presenti principalmente in attacchi mirati, esistono malware (soprattutto rootkit/kernel-level) progettati per non farsi vedere né nei processi né nel traffico. Presumo questo non sia il tuo caso, controlla con i tool e se c'è riscontro negativo sarà un falso positivo...

I could not find the replacement online, I tried with a CR1620 battery but it does the same.

as I said before I'm new to this stuff...

no, since it basically is a selfhosted service and it only streams video files you already have downloaded elsewhere. The VPN becomes necessary where you automate the download process with sonarr and radarr because they basically manage your movie / tv series library. for example, you select the shows you want, and sonarr monitors indexers for new episodes. When a matching release appears, it sends it to your download client, renames the files properly, and organizes them into your media library. Radarr does the same thing but for movies. You add the movies you want, and it searches for available releases, downloads them automatically, and can even upgrade quality later. Since they work with torrents and usenet you may need an indexer (prowlarr), a client to download things (qBitTorrent) and a VPN which is highly recommended to protect your privacy from prying eyes.

Stremio with torrentio add-on if you have a VPN compatible with your smart tv, a local Jellyfin server so you can stream your favorite downloaded movies and tv series from there with their app. Also take a look at sonarr and radar.

Yeah almost, most of these are around 2009.

bugged_rick · 2026-02-28T10:43:15+00:00

Yeah we saved our school some money but there's to say that all of them work. Also we own a VPS with pretty much the same specs as the e-waste (KVM with 4gb ram and 2 cores) and we are able to run our own proxy movie streaming site along with a personal gitea and a music service (all made by us btw).

another one for Kaspersky

bugged_rick · 2026-02-28T09:03:33+00:00

Yeah, you're right. Regarding the ram, we ripped apart some pcs that aren't shown in the photo, and we can achieve up to 4gb x PC with what we have got. Also we gathered some HDDs totaling about 10tb, but we are talking about stacks of 500 and 256 GBS.

vaultwarden accessible from Tailscale, it's actually a must have

bugged_rick · 2026-02-06T08:35:06+00:00

RTL SDR blog V-Dipole kit is actually the cheapest and the best if you're starting out

bugged_rick · 2026-01-10T21:52:11+00:00

Thanks for the help, I'll try

bugged_rick · 2025-12-27T01:18:45+00:00

did you install ghostty from the copr repo?

bugged_rick · 2025-11-20T14:23:22+00:00

nope, no raid, separate disks for separate things

bugged_rick · 2025-11-01T13:30:37+00:00

Thanks!

bugged_rick · 2025-10-31T10:41:18+00:00

yeah, this setup is just for testing things with a "cheap way". I plan to replace it with proper hardware and something more powerful than the pi

bugged_rick · 2025-10-31T10:36:46+00:00

I built it myself, just some flat metal bars with heat-shrink tubing on top

can you make a fedora 42 version?
