Portishead do this so well

NZ Post truck catches fire, hundreds of parcels destroyed in c/newzealand@lemmy.nz

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Oh no, won't someone think of all those critical Temu shipments! Anyway...

(Seriously, there must be a lot of irreplaceable stuff that goes through the post - this is actually a fairly big deal and I'm sure there will be people quite badly affected. Horrible to think about actually)

ELI5 (ok, maybe 10) Matrix chat (lemmy.nz)

Have downloaded the Beeper app which seems to nicely integrate a few of my favourite chat protocols. I noticed Matrix in the mix however.

I've heard, obliquely, of Matrix, but just assumed it's yet another messaging protocol. Would appear that's not the case though? Where would one get started? Why would I even want to use this vs the multitude of others? Is there an NZ Matrix server? Does it even matter? Why did the last season of GoT go so badly off the rails (oh wait, we know the answer to that one)...

TIA!

What a wall of sound. I've never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Yes, I'd considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I'll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you've suggest too. But at this point it's looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys (lemmy.nz)

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

Portishead - Roads (Live From The Roseland Ballroom, New York, USA / 24 July 1997) in c/music@beehaw.org

Doesn't get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

Have an old NUC... (lemmy.nz)

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that's I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see.

Obviously I need hard drive space to go with this. Is a USB enclosure, directly attached, going to be fast enough? Or do I need to go to a NAS of some kind? Alternatively, my router has a USB connection for a HDD - would that be better?

Climate Change in c/movies@lemmy.world

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 months ago

A quick google shows that a significant proportion of the arguments presented in this 'movie' have already been thoroughly debunked. For example, https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of-cold-myths.html has a nice summary.

The Other Players Who Helped (Almost) Make the World’s Biggest Backdoor Hack in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Axisential@lemmy.nz 14 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.
