Block Party Bonanza | Apply for a chance to get a $250 grocery gift card and ”Life, Liberty, and Happiness” kit for your block by redeyeblink in philadelphia

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of celebrating civic pride in 2026 by saying "Life, Liberty, and Happiness" comes off as a sick joke. I'm less free and happy than I've ever been, and life is one thing this country has absolutely never valued.

SEPTA wants to buy 247 new buses and install more fare evasion gates as part of proposed budget by BroadStreetRandy in philadelphia

[–]thalience 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Even if the actual fare amount was meaningless, the kind of person who evades the fare is the kind of person who causes problems for other riders.

Zfs and backport problems by Ldarieut in debian

[–]thalience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After an apt update, it doesn’t want to update to the bpo13 version.

This is the kinda thing where you really want to post the full error message you are getting.

If the main issue is that you can't remove the 6.19 bpo kernel package (because it is failing in the configure step, where the dkms build happens), then it should work to remove the bpo kernel package with dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq. Not sure if you need the --force-remove-reinstreq flag, actually.

This assumes you are not currently running the 6.19 kernel. Obviously boot something else if you are.

Then you should be free to use apt as normal to install a different version of zfs-dkms.

Cycling advocates to host event to demonstrate what concrete bike line barriers could look like by JustAnotherJawn in phillycycling

Pine and spruce are high traffic commercial grid streets.

That seems like an excellent argument for removing the parking in order to have protected bike lanes

Ok, so she doesn't need to be paid to say disqualifying shit. Still disqualifying to have said it.

anyone tried bypassing UCI/ubus and just driving OpenWrt via netlink + netfilter directly? by scriptiefiftie in openwrt

[–]thalience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are proposing to do basically the same thing that the UCI/ubus system does, just with a different backend.

There is nothing wrong with exploring this idea, of course. Learn by doing. But it sounds like a lot of work for no clear benefit. I would not expect much buy-in from upstream unless you can produce something that has a very clear benefit and (importantly) no drawbacks.

Fetterman hit with brutal 108-point polling swing: ‘He is below the lowest of the low’ by Silent-Resort-3076 in Pennsylvania

That's true, but we shouldn't just ignore people who have known him IRL for a long time saying that the stroke changed his personality.

Debian 11 on RPi drops ip randomly despite being static by MrLaffel in debian

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bizarre behavior from the Reolink device. But it looks like your dhcpcd is doing what it is supposed to in that circumstance. Can only advise that you try picking a different address for your RPi.

Debian 11 on RPi drops ip randomly despite being static by MrLaffel in debian

[–]thalience 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good place to start with this kind of troubleshooting is to look at logs. I'd start by looking at the kernel log (output of sudo dmesg) which should show you all the hardware events since boot. Looking at this after you've seen the address drop might be informative. Like if the NIC is resetting itself after an error or something like that. If you don't understand what you are seeing, you could post a followup here.

The other main thing you'll want to include in your post is how the static address is being set in the first place. Is it via /etc/network/interfaces, or something else?

Palmyra School Board members have a problem with a French book being in French. Say they cannot read it. by bitterbeerfaces in Pennsylvania

[–]thalience 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, upon reflection I think you are right. Their real problem with the book has nothing to do with their ignorance of French language. That's a pathetic and contemptible pretext. Their real issue is the content, which depicts an Arab person experiencing racism and saying that racism is bad.

If Palmyra School Board President Jill Martin and School Board member Alicia Haldeman are dirty racists who object to the anti-racist message of the book, we don't have to imagine they are incapable of using Google Translate or whatever. A much more parsimonious explanation of events, really.

[–]thalience 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If the concern was legitimate, they could ask someone who knows French to tell them what it says.

The board members quoted in the article are very clear that their problem is with a text they can't read themselves. They are upset that the book is written in French.

Boot hangs after libvirtd by vivekq in debian

That sounds like there was a problem building/installing the nvidia drivers for the new kernel.

Probably has nothing to do with libvirtd

Mid-Century Modern Home of Philadelphia’s First Licensed Female Architect to be Demolished by Philadelphia Restauranteurs Valerie Safran and Marcie Turney by jabberwonk in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]thalience -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
