I love that the Lemmy workshopped toaster has made it to the Steam page already.

Wish listed!

Back when I was active on the high seas, I would talk about stuff I watched all the time. When someone would ask where I watched I'd tell them they would be welcome to come by and copy some of my Linux ISOs to an external drive if they wanted, as I wasn't willing to promote the paid avenues for getting those distros.

No worries for the context, it's important to have as much info on a thing as possible.

Had to look it up, just fact check myself.
Pre-2021 the states that had no law prohibiting sexual acts with and animal were:

  • Hawaii
  • New Mexico
  • West Virginia
  • Wyoming

Mid-2021 Hawaii and Wyoming decided maybe they should have something on the books about maybe fucking an animal is possibly something we don't want happening round these parts.
Hawaii it's now either a misdemeanor or felony, depending on severity. Not really sure if I want to explore what the mean by "severity." Surely once should be past the line. Wyoming it's just a misdemeanor....

So I guess all you fuckin weirdos can move to New Mexico or West Virginia to carry on abusing animals.

They're changing it because they discovered through this class action lawsuit that it's cheaper to let it go to court.
I still think this is a good thing, but not necessarily being done for the good of the customer.

Nope, and everyone would be a whole lot happier and more well adjusted if loads of people didn't feel like they need to know every little detail about famous people's lives so they can live vicariously.

I mean.... that seems like a pretty big risk factor, not just for you but the wider web of people who could be infected if you were....

If you have easy access to a booster... fuckin do it!
I was sick as a dog for 3 weeks, started being symptomatic late Feb, was well enough to work again by mid March....had a persistent cough until early June, and due to health monitoring at work my lung capacity and strength has been verified as having gone down about 5%. It's almost October and I still have a bit of a cough, not all the time like right after the worst of it, but if it's cold, or humid, or I've been lying down for a few hours(say around 2am)....

Anyway, definitely get a booster if you can.

The only 2 things I've had that were worse than the last time I had COVID:

  • Pneumonia when I was 15, so sick I had to be carried to the washroom.
  • Whooping cough earlier this year, coughing so much I couldn't sleep, couldn't walk more than 3 or 4 meters in a go

Ehhhhhhh....if in the States....depends on which state you're in, in some it's illegal...others it's fine 👍

Having had it a few times, I do everything I can to avoid it.

So, I have a rpi4b that's currently running a VPN for family abroad. I'm just finishing setting up Ubuntu server 24.04LTS(I have limited number of USB sticks, and the largest is only 8gb, so this choice was one of size, I can go into ones I had considered before) on an old laptop. For my small business I've also bought a domain for a work email, and eventually a website both are/will be hosted externally as I don't want to faff about with securing those aspects on my home network. The VPN though, that is currently pointing to no-ip dns service, and I want to migrate that to both the laptop and my own registered domain. What's best practices here? I do need the VPN to exit through to my network, so that my MiL can watch UK streaming from abroad(TV licence shenanigans).

So I posted a few weeks ago asking for opinions on the Surface Pro 4, trying to decide if I should pick one up and slap Linux on it.
Opinions were.....mixed.

I got a decent deal on one, and that's partly why it's taken me so long to post an update. It was cheap because the previous buyer had returned it to the seller claiming that there were power issues. The seller said they hadn't encountered said issues in the hour or so of testing they did, and I call fucking bullshit!
Once powered off or restarted it was taking up to 48hrs before it would grace me with booting up. And usable time ranged for 15mins to an hour before system lockup resulting in either a freeze until battery run out, or immediate system shutdown, and another 12-48hrs wait to power it up again. Obviously this is suboptimal.

Part of the issue, possibly unsurprisingly, was windows and the stripped down BIOS. After turning off secure boot, turning off the "battery saver" mode(restricts charging to 50% of total capacity) and scrubbing windows off the drive like a crusty booger...things have improved. I'm still unable to restart the device, restart powers down, but no power up. Wait times to power up again went from probably 36hrs average to 2hrs average, and if I just don't turn it off, the system is stable.

My time with Nobara on the surface has been really enjoyable, everything is just stock, I've not wanted to muck around too much and get attached in case I can't figure out the actual root cause of the power issues.
As such, not really much else to report other than Nobara running well, and pretty much everything running as well or better than when windows was installed. Touch functionality works slightly differently in Nobara than Windows, but that's not really a bother for me.

If any of you greybeard wizards has any ideas on what might be happening with the power cycle issues I'd appreciate some suggestions. I think it may be a battery issue, but I'm waiting on a hot air station to be able to open it up and have a proper look at it's guts. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with temps, that was my first thought but that didn't pan out.

Just putting out feelers, anyone here run Linux on a surface pro 4 or 5? What distro did you use, and how did it go?

Edit: I've pulled the trigger on a Surface Pro 4. I'll make a new post in a week with my early impressions, which distro I've gone with, etc etc etc.

I've got OpenVPN running, and the NoIP DUC running, if I setup OpenVPN to use my current IP everything works well, can connect, and more importantly can access the Internet. If I configure it to use my DynDNS through NoIP then it allows my to connect, but I then have no access outside my local network. If I was just trying to access a server that would be fine, but obviously this is supposed to be a VPN.....
