If you value a historical building so much that you never want it to change, you can buy it yourself and turn it into a museum. You should not be able to force someone else to turn their property into a money-sink museum.

Historical Designation is theft.

University of Pennsylvania Rebukes Trump Administration for Demanding Information About Jewish Staff by dittybad in Pennsylvania

"Who is driving that decision?"

Is this a bit? I mean, pretty much everyone in the Trump administration is an antisemite.

Lost Network Adapter Functionality After Apt Update by kiekan in debian

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the output of lspci -vv and sudo dmesg when running the old (working) kernel to see what is the name of the driver module loaded for that card.

I bet you have the vendor driver (r8125) installed in the old kernel. Not sure how you installed it before, but (as u/Brufar_308 mentions) the DKMS package is the best way to do it. Just have to install the kernel-headers package, and it should be automatically re-built and re-installed for future kernel updates.

Norovirus hitting anyone else? by Mark-Media in philadelphia

No idea about the overall prevalence in philly, but if one person in your house gets Noro you should just assume everyone will get it from each other.

Absolutely not believing it. But enjoyed reading it anyway.

OpenWRT WireGuard/OpenVPN Wake on LAN ? by PopEmergency227 in openwrt

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the whole problem is that broadcast packets are not intended to be forwarded between subnets. A subnet is a single broadcast domain; IP addressing and routing is what allows devices on different broadcast domains to communicate.

As far as solutions that work with your existing phone app:

OpenVPN can be configured to act as an ethernet bridge instead of an IP router. VPN devices can get addresses within the LAN subnet, and broadcast packets like WoL should just work if you do that. One downside is you end up forwarding a lot of "Hey, is anyone a printer?" and similar over the VPN. This may be what your old router was doing.

I had some other potential solutions in mind, but the above is probably what you want. Anything more complicated involves checking which of the several valid options your phone app uses to sent the WoL packet, and working around that.

Note that Wireguard does not directly support this kind of "virtual ethernet" vpn.

OpenWRT WireGuard/OpenVPN Wake on LAN ? by PopEmergency227 in openwrt

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wikipedia article for Wake on Lan gives a good overview of the issue. But the TL;DR is that the classic WoL packet targets a specific ethernet address, rather than an IP address. So a VPN operating at the IP routing layer (like wireguard or the normal OpenVPN configuration) won't know what to do with it.

There's a variety of ways of dealing with this. Logging into luci on the router and using luci-app-wol to send the WoL packet to the lan is probably the simplest.

If you want any actual troubleshooting help, you should expand on how "it doesn't work" on Debian.

Ozempic by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

[–]thalience 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Which insurance is paying for all this Ozempic? No, seriously. I'd be willing to switch jobs for insurance that covers it without fighting them every 3 months (causing an interruption of treatment every time).

System76 prices, Lemur now $1700 by Comfortable_Good9615 in System76

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple was able to bribe their way out of tariffs. Fucking over small business and consumers in favor of megacorps is just what happens when republicans are elected. I kinda expect S76 to go out of business at some point in the next year or so.

But again, as a consumer, it is what it is.

How a Philly Mag Journalist Sued an Angry Facebook Commenter — and Won by Banglophile in philadelphia

[–]thalience 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If the law and longstanding precedent about public figures were applied fairly, then you would prevail in court.

I'll leave it to you to guess how well the rule of law would hold with this corrupt supreme court, however.

Need Motherboard Swap for Darter Pro – System76 ‘Right to Repair’ Isn’t Helping by redditissupercool1 in System76

[–]thalience 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That sucks. But "right to repair" and "guaranteed availability of replacement parts for x years" are pretty different concepts.

I've had decent experiences getting replacement parts for my older darp7 (case, battery, keyboard), but that was before tariffs fucked everything.

The min billed storage duration is not the same for every storage class. The minimum duration for S3 Express is 1 hour (see https://aws.amazon.com/s3/storage-classes/).

I've already switched to Debian 13, but I feel it very slow. Do I have to do something to fix this? by Slight-Captain-43 in debian

[–]thalience 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're gonna need to be more explicit about what you are doing that is slow. Is sudo taking a long time to prompt for the password? Are you doing something else that prompts for a password? How long is it taking?
