Geekworm offers a HAT and an enclosure for 2HDD and the Pi, that might suit you

Well yes but I am not sure that this is the main problem with flatpak containers.

I'd rather point out that this approach creates a bigger attack surface since the containers tend to ship with outdated versions of libraries, frameworks and tools that the actual application relies on because it is now that specific app developer's problem to update them inside of the container. So with this, even an up to date system is not really up to date and might suffer from severe vulnerabilities. I'd say it depends on your application, use case and threat scenario; containerization can make sense but is not the holy grail.

Did you take a little journey into the BIOS yet? Is definitely firmware, the question is if you can just change a setting there. Otherwise, somebody already mentioned dummy HDMI plugs.

Relied on an AUR package for building and signing my unified kernel image... one day it was outdated and geberating the image failed, I noticed that by the fact that the system refused to boot my OS. Fixing it was done in a few minutes but boy, that was a shock :D

Guess who also checks the exact output of the kernel rebuild now before rebooting!

I am not extremely familiar with nix and flakes but from my understanding, they create isolated environments like venv or containers, correct? Would that not mean having a separate wine install and especially separate Lutris install per Game? So no single Lutris that lists all games but a separate one for each, kindof defeats the purpose I think. I fail to see the benefit over just clicking it on the lutris website, so not sure if this would gain traction. Open for any suggestions and corrections though!

My bad, I just looked up what a CUV is and you are totally right. I'd go even further and say that there are barely any real "SUVs" around from European car makers, seems like the CUV label fits pretty much all of them (with few exceptions, usually the big ones like Audi Q5+, BMW X5+, VW Touareg). So I learned sth today, thanks!

Similar reason for me. Although, as long as I could get a car without internet connectivity, I would even be fine with non-free software but even that is too much to ask nowadays. This also applies to gas or diesel powered cars though, so I will stick with my sedan from 2015 too, might even have the engine redone completely in a few years if there are no proper options by then.

Not sure if that is what you asked for or if you only meant in the US but anyway: Europe currently sees a rise in laws that forbid motorbikes on certain roads/areas based on their idle noise (completely idiotic), the weekday or just completely. Austria started some months ago with parts of Germany now following, it is getting slightly more hostile here for bikers...

Is this a US take? Serious question because in Europe, I see primarily SUVs being sold when it comes to EVs. Small and shitty ones yes, but still aiming to resemble at least the SUV look. E.g. VW ID3, ID4; these I see a lot on the streets over here. Big exception seem to be hybrids, they usually are sedans or hatchbacks.

Did you contact your ISP about this? Most of them can adjust a setting for you to remove the NAT part, the feature is usually called dual-stack. If you are in the EU, you even have a fundamental right to use your own router, you just have to register your MAC with them.

Not just Dell... bought an HP Elite x360 in 2018 and it had to go back twice too; first time because they jammed a physical blocker for non-LTE models into my sim slot (then sent it back after removing it and putting the same blocker back in, afterwards gave me free on-site repair for this issue, fucked up my board during that and came back next day with a replacement board) and second time because the keyboard died after a year. Solid ever since, still running perfectly but these initial issues should not happen with a 2500€ device.

Vim supports editing files through scp as well, no reason to cry here xD

 

Hi people, since we see more and more complaints regarding old movies being not politically correct anymore, I am getting more and more concerned about some purchases I made some years ago. Specifically, there is a set of local movies in my mother tongue which I bought and therefore want to download them in case they are removed/changed later on. How can I do that?

Linux cmdline tools preferred, sharing is no consideration, so I am not concerned about digital fingerprints.

 

Hello people, I need to ask the swarm intelligence for some suggestions for my problem:

I am hosting my eBooks and some downloaded research papers (best idea ever btw) on a calibre instance at home. My gf loves to listen to audio books and it seems like calibre has support for them as well (did not test that yet). Now I need an Android app, preferably open-source, that can connect to calibre and pull and play audio books and ideally also ebooks in case she wants to read. For me, KOReader does a decent job but the audio book part is sth I was unable to solve so far. Does somebody have a similar use case and solution? Thanks in advance!
