A company will never do anything that is not increasing their profit. If the profit of breaking law is greater than the fine then they will do it.
What they will do, is create a button called “delete account” which will just block you from logging in. It will not delete your content. Sending an email which clearly says they’re getting sued is probably the easiest option. You gotta speak their language.
Ahh, relative pressure
Will any pressure below 1 bar work at all? Wont it just suck the air in instead?
no, a container is not a virtual machine. Containers, unlike virtual machines, uses the same kernel as host system. That means you cannot spin up a windows container on linux because windows uses NT kernel and linux uses linux kernel. What containers like that will in fact do is allow you to get applications from different distros as if you were running that distro.
For your use case (windows xp game emulation) there are two options. A virtual machine or using wine. My suggestion is to try first “bottles” and then VM
was kicked in the head like this once. Flew a meter into the wall
What do you mean that a file deduplication will take forever if there are duplicated directories? That the scan will take forever or that manual confirmation will take forever?
That sounds doable. I would however not trust my self to code something bug free on the first go xD
This will indeed save space but I don’t want links either. I unique files
I had multiple systems which at some point were syncing with syncthing but over time I stopped using my desktop computer and syncthing service got unmaintained. I’ve had to remove the ssd of the old desktop so I yoinked the home directory and saved it into my laptop. As you can probably tell, a lot of stuff got duplicated and a lot of stuff got diverged over time. My idea is that I would merge everything into my laptops home directory, and rather then look at the diverged files manually as it would be less work. I don’t think doing a backup with all my redundant files will be a good idea as the initial backup will include other backups and a lot of duplicated files.
I did not ask for a backup solution, but for a deduplication tool
The exiting part will be if they launch a passive cooled arm based laptop.
If you can get a metal body laptop, I would suggest you do. Metal chassis with Linux will last a long while. Programming will not take much resources (and if it does, rewrite your code). Since you’re into light programming like python any distro would be fine. It feels like the community has somewhat agreed to suggest Linux Mint to new users so I’ll support that.
I’ve not worked with batteries but I would assume there are two pins for voltage and ground, one temperature probe pin and or two pins for serial communication (probably I²C). If batteries would have had some sort complex handshake then it would have needed a corresponding UEFI patch so that system is able to refuse booting if the power level is too low. That’s why I assume there would be no handshake (unless it’s apple ofc).
Yeah true, though it’s dealt with already. Time to put the lid back on that can.
How is it that one cannot purchase a bunch of flat rectangular batteries and just put them inside the laptop (wherever they fit) and connect them manually to some custom charge controller? We do it all the time on other devices like drones and shit. We have generic round cylindrical batteries, why isn’t there flat generic Li batteries?
hahaha It actually did, I found out shortly after initially posting this. I’m constantly reminded that I haven’t learned reading yet (documentation, datasheets, terminal output etc…)
I usually try to avoid bad habits like this but this time it was justified.
The Ubuntu laptop had to connect to company vpn. It were using openconnect-network-manager-gnome thingy to do that. Recently the company upgraded their vpn software which is sorta incompatible with openconnect and requires a modified user agent string for it to prompt for 2FA keys. package in ubuntu 22.04 is too old to modify that in the gui. I tried in the terminal manually, editing the config manually with vim and even dumping the config from my personal Arch laptop. We also tried proprietary Cisco AnyConnect but there is probably a server misconfiguration which causes the connection to drop and reconnect once a minute. In Ubuntu 24.04 it works given the user agent modification, and even though it was released a couple of weeks ago, LTS users don’t get the update before mid August. So the easiest solution was to take the software compile it in the VM and use it there. It’s a temporary solution but we had to have something working by the next morning. With such setup it’s an annoyance to have password prompts show up. On top of that the keyboard is kinda fucked and some characters register multiple times making the situation with passwords even worse.
If you have a good idea what I could have tried let me know, love to hear new ideas.
Yeah, i went searching the web what is was my self when I saw it. Good change
