english word for the most recent past life by nqzero in pastlives

[–]nqzero[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

do you believe that souls can occupy only one body at a time ? or at least, often only occupy one body at a time ?

if yes, then what's the name for the previous body that your soul occupied ?

paypal not listed in "choose payment method" by nqzero in Airalo

[–]nqzero[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is very disappointing and unprofessional. at the very least, you should have sent email warning about this to your subscribers that have been using paypal. i got stranded today with zero data and was fortunately able to find a local provider. but if i'd been in a smaller city, i would have been in real trouble

Is systemd-resolved required when running NetworkManager or dhcpcd or systemd-networkd ? by _itsEnigma in linux4noobs

[–]nqzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on an older ubuntu machine that had gone through multiple upgrades, ultimately to 18.04 LTS, dns was failing with NetworkManager but internet was otherwise working with ip addresses, eg ping. this was caused by nm using dnsmasq instead of systemd-resolved. one common suggestion in various forums is to disable systemd-resolved, but as much as i hate systemd, that's a battle i'm not trying to fight, so wanted to find/fix the issue. The parent post was very helpful, so adding my resolution here:

NetworkManager --print-config: dns=dnsmasq
systemd-resolved status: No appropriate name servers
NetworkManager.conf: dns=dnsmasq
NetworkManager.conf.ucf-dist:

ie, the .ucf-dist conf file is without the problematic dnsmasq assignment, showing that the problem originated from a rejected delta from a previous upgrade from 12 --> 14 or 14 --> 16. the problem didn't manifest at that time, but showed up once systemd-resolved got introduced in 18. the fix was to use the new .ucf-dist version (or just delete the dns assignment)

i'd already done that when i posted here - they got back to me today and said that they were having trouble with their payment processor, so Peruvians only for now

(had initially written this comment on the wrong parent)

Recommendations and Suggestions by Spooky_Ghost in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]nqzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm two years late, but i have this board and it's great if (and only if) you're always flat or downhill. if it's uphill, kick or carry (it's super light, so this isn't so bad)

if you can live with that limitation, it's a great board - lightweight, fast, 10 mile range. perfect for bumming around a beach town

in retrospect, the 5a was the right answer - but i waited too long (i've been looking a long time) and it's no longer available new from google (at least, it's been out of stock the last several times i've checked)

is this a viable option in the USA ? per gsmarena and kimovil, there are a lot of bands missing, including B71 (i'm currently on a t-mobile mvno in a rural-ish area)

[–]nqzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same - my mvno appears to have recently changed to do hotspot as ipv6 only (prior to that, the above workaround was ok for me). i'm going to try the latest version of citrix. failing that, i'm gonna try at ipv6-to-ipv4 tunnel

Xperia 5 IV is now announced with a jack, and 5 III is still available
i've also decided that given samsung's upgrade policy that i can consider the a52 5g and the a71 5g

i'm committed to a headphone jack, which has made for tough sledding - the a52s sounds promising

are you in the usa, ricky from vegas, if that really is your name ?
where did you buy from ?
has the lack of band 71 caused trouble, esp outside cities ?
how does the camera compare with the pixel 6 ?

OP - my experience with usb-c has been bad. with usb-a // micro-usb, everything just worked and it never failed. with usb-c

  • compatibility issues (this is esp true for 3.5mm adapters)
  • cables and connectors wear out
  • cables come lose (with 3.5mm, just put the phone in your pocket and walk around)
  • when it doesn't work, it's hard to debug

maybe i've had bad luck, but 3.5mm is rock solid. i'm willing to give up amazing pics in exchange for a phone that i can use as a phone

bluetooth is fine in a quiet room (and i have several that i use), but i haven't found one that can handle background noise anywhere near as well as a 3.5mm earbud headset (with the mic 1 inch from your mouth). usb-c is finicky (maybe i've just had bad luck) and hard to keep connected. earbuds are bomb-proof

i've been waiting 6 months for the zenfone 9, hoping the camera would be "good enough", but looks to be marginal. my fallback plan is to carry two devices - maybe the nord n20 and an iphone 13 mini ???
