Before other people start commenting 'yeah obviously', it's their April Fools video, it's pretty funny.

What motherboard do you have?

If it's related to memory context restore, I also had to toggle 'power down enable' on my setup.

I never mentioned vulnerabilities, I just wanted to point out that, RDP doesn't really work without a graphical session, Windows Server Core gets around this by being a graphical session (although very basic).

Also I'm not sure, but I don't think Windows handles RDP on the kernel level, it's just nicely tied in with DWM and doesn't have to deal with the multitude of window managers on Linux.

Handling RDP on the kernel level does sound like a bad idea security wise, but there should be a better way.

Windows Server Core still has a window manager, just all it does show a command prompt very similar to the one in the usual Windows recovery environment.

I wonder if this made it into the android kernel: https://www.androidpolice.com/pixel-stutter-bug-addressed-by-third-party-dev/

Or if it is just general updates.

I thought Discord gave you the option to send a message as a file now, or maybe that was desktop.

You have to be on the March update, then go to Developer options -> Linux environment, and enable it. Then 'Terminal' will appear in your apps drawer.

I hadn't restarted my serial logger after I rebooted my laptop, leaving me with no clue about what caused the crash.

Probably way too late now, but if it was a proper kernel panic, it should've saved the dmesg in the kernel's pstore which saves to either ACPI or EFI storage (depending on BIOS or UEFI), which systemd then extracts to /var/lib/systemd/pstore/ on next reboot.

Oh damn, phoronix comments are usually bad, but they really got off the rails this time!

I noticed it the other day too. The flatpak version let me add one SSH key, but another with password protection would only error.

I've never tried it, but there's Waypipe.

Unless you are moving gigabits of data, you won't notice the difference the smaller header payload of ipv6 offers.

IPv6 headers are usually bigger anyway^1^, so the only advantage is more efficient routing (so infinitesimally better latency), but in my experience most routers only support IPv4 hw offload and not IPv6, so it's only more efficient in theory.

I just like IPv6 because I get a whole /56 prefix to play with, and devices often randomise their host portion through the privacy extensions, meaning they use a new address each day or so.

^1^ IPv4 is usually ~20 bytes, but it can be up to 60 bytes if you stack a lot of options, IPv6 is only 40 bytes AFAIK.

 

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

 

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

Guys I found lemmy! (programming.dev)
 
 

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!
