glitching

and then there's this:

Judge Perlman, who was — no shit — Jewish, did not care for Nazis. This led him to reach out to one of the most powerful Jewish guys around: Meyer Lansky. Judge Perlman, as you might expect, hadn’t done Meyer any favors in the past. He had for example helped to end Prohibition, the repeal of which, while generally extremely popular, wasn’t great for the Meyer Lanskys of the world, who had been making bank off illegal booze. But when Perlman met with Meyer after the rise of the German American Bund, they ended up getting along pretty well. Perlman was like “I want you to disrupt meetings of Nazis” and Meyer was like “excellent, on it,” and Perlman was like “hang on I’m not finished” and Meyer was like “sorry” and Perlman was like “I will pay you and give you legal assistance, should anyone get arrested. The only condition is, don’t kill anyone.” With what I can only imagine to be the world’s greatest eye roll, Meyer said “Ugh fine, I won’t kill anyone. Also, I don’t want your money.”

And then he went to work.

tried 'em all and they all suck. it's possible there are options that work for monolingual people, but for simultaneously using 3-4 languages without annoying switching back and forth, there is no alternative.

since android 15 you can disable network access to any app and that's how I run gboard, the only google app I have on my mobile devices.

re: sony changing their deal with you because someone else changed their deal with them, for any lawyer worth their salt this should be a walk in the park. since the days of roman law the principle is that your obligations with party A don't influence your obligations towards party B.

sony is free to change the deal for future users, but the deal you made with sony is/should be the same as the day it was made.

enter regulation capture and doing away with even the pretense of rule of law. everything that follows is of their own making.

possible. I tried it at one point with the -Z option, which should disable compression but no change, same result.

works. still would like to know what the issue is with adb.

tl;dr - attacker needs to be connected to your wifi to exploit it. wish they'd lead with that.

not a plex user but someone buried the lede here... to me, this is the neon sign that screams GTFO:

we noticed that you've accessed libraries in the past

what business of yours is it to notice my private comings and goings?! what other actionable intel do y'all keep in your logs?! bye!

I ran something similar a while ago; it automated the steps you're describing so it downloaded every new video from the channels I'm subscribed to along with metadata. I gave that up as it's hella inefficient. what I have now is just a media sink by way of macast and I can send videos for playback to my media PC. so if you don't need those videos for archiving purposes, try it out.

don't go with server variants of the OS. they are intended for boxes that work without display and keyboard, which you have. instead, install any normal distro you're familiar with. it's infinitely easier to fix something with the full GUI at your disposal.

this is just your first install, you will iterate, and through that process you'll get better and leaner, in terms of underlying OS. think of it as training wheels on a bike, you'll pull them off eventually.

wired connection only, leave wireless turned off, and assign it a static IP address.

don't do containerS, do one container first. figure out where you're gonna store the compose files, where it will store data, how you will back that data up, etc. then add another. does it fit into your setup? do you need to modify something? rinse. repeat.

casaOS, aside from it's murky background (some chinese startup or sumsuch, forgot?) doesn't provide that path forward nor allows you to learn something, too much hand holding.

good luck.

firstly, tlp is a powerful tool, but you need to configure it before letting it loose, identifying components you don't need and can be powered down, figuring out power limits, etc. that's too much work for me. also, if you're on ppd, maybe try switching it with tuned and tuned-ppd, which are now default on Fedora.

can't help with your specific machine, here's what works for me. what I want is a powerful laptop that works as a workstation when on AC, sips power when mobile, and has no significant power drain when left in standby for days. so:

1. using Plasma, as it has (among many other benefits) different power settings for docked and on battery. so it has generous power settings on AC and then rather conservative ones on battery, and

2. implementing suspend-then-hibernate. the laptop sleeps normally when not used, but if not used in an hour or so, it suspends to disk and turns off all power - no more battery drain. on powering up, it resumes from disk back to how I left it - faster than cold boot!

this brings it super close to stuff I had back in the macOS days - a laptop that I can leave for days and when I pick it up heading out the door I know it has a charge.
