I was inspired by a post in [email protected] so I mixed some lofi with jazzhop and a dash of classical on vinyl and made a playlist

This is purely educational.

I can’t notice a pattern, but it happens all the time in both instances I use. I get to a post and there’s an image that can’t be loaded. I open the post on the browser and it loads fine.

(I’d share a screenshot of the browser but the inline picture upload feature is giving me grief now. ☹️)

Here’s the sample post: https://feddit.org/post/538582

I’m not sure Riker would be opposed to the Klingon’s idea.

I almost exclusively use private tabs and had quite a few of them open at any time for things I was working on. But apparently since I’ve last updated the default behavior changed to close private tabs and the option to keep them open was removed.

Digging into it, I’ve found the bug report in the link. The last entry in the bug report is concerning:

It looks like this was discussed in FXIOS-8672, although I don't have access to that JIRA to take a look at the discussion.

Of the three PRs that I see that reference FXIOS-8672, one of them mentions:

I've intentionally kept this PR as simple as possible so we can release it and then be sure there is no major blow back from users. If we need to roll back it should be very simple in the current state.

I'm not sure what would count as "major blow back" but there is at least some hope that this functionality can be restored.

I agree with @garnetred that this behaviour isn't limited to force closing the app.

Edit: thanks everyone, I’ve installed them and everything is fine!

Hey community!

I got some switches with bent contacts. I can easily bend them back into shape, but I’m afraid of them possibly snapping off inside the keyboard and running it. Am I overthinking it?

The backstory is I’be got a 3x 10 unit Outemu switch bags in the mail from AliExpress to try different varieties. They were not packed well so some of them came with bent contacts. So I’m also gauging whether buying a full set would be worth it.

I love the Linux community but it absolutely drowns the other communities in I subscribe to in my home feed. Is there a way to remove it from my home feed without unsubscribing from it?

I would love a checkbox in the settings that would allow me to filter comments/ content from users at blocked instances.

Desired behavior: Block instance b.c, auto content filter on. Go to a post on instance x.y where user [email protected] has commented on, don’t see those comments.

Please and thank you!

Original text below because reasons I guess.

When I block an instance, I expected not to see anything from it - the nuclear option, you’d say.

However, browsing a post from another community, I still see comments from users of the blocked instance.

Is this the designed behavior? If so, is there a way to change it to block all content emanating from that server?

Thanks!

Thank you everyone for taking time to help out. While looking for keyboards, I’ve found a great deal on a new Keychron C3 Pro at Amazon for around $30. It’s a wired keyboard, but it’s got hot swappable brown switches and I figured there’s no way I’d find something better to dip my toes in this hobby.

And I’m really glad I did! The feel and sound of it is just so much better from my regular keyboard it’s not even funny.

I’ve got some sample switches and o-rings in the mail to further dampen the sound but I’m very happy with my purchase.

All those really sweet compact keyboards are super sexy and I want one. But the ones I like are both:

• very expensive
• have windows exclusive software

I’m not even sure mechanical keyboards are for me, to be honest. I don’t type that much, and the keyboard I have - a Logitech wave ergonomic keyboard - suits me, except for the humongous size and the noise (I do a lot of video calls and it gets distracting to my interlocutors).

From my research, a QMK/VIA 65% keyboard would be ideal. The VIA part would allow me to configure the few extra keys and layouts so I can make the most of the keys I’ll have. And it’s Linux compatible. However, it seems the controllers for VIA keyboards make them significantly more expensive. Then there’s the noise issue. The click clack, while tactile satisfying, is a no go for me.

I went down the rabbit hole and to find something that has a chance of suiting me, the cost quickly balloons above $200, and for something which I don’t know if I’ll like. If at least I knew it wouldn’t be too loud I might justify forking that kind of money.

Is there a keyboard for me? How can I tell if it’s going to be too loud? Or should I just give up that search and go for a normie tenkeyless keyboard?

I have a TrueNAS install with SMB turned on and nothing else. Even when it’s idle and nothing is accessing it, there’s constant disk activity. Very low bandwidth, but it’s like some log is in verbose mode.

TrueNAS is installed in a NVMe disk with plenty of room, and there’s only one pool. I’ve checked my snapshot configuration, nothing enabled faster than daily.

What could be causing it? How do I stop it or redirect it to the NVMe drive? I’m willing to create a partition on the NVMe drive if that’s what will do it.

Edit: thanks everyone for all the feedback, I’ll try these out and report back.

Hey, I’m having this issue only with Mander. I can’t reliably reproduce it, sometimes it’ll go days without issue. But then the insurance gets disconnected and I need to add the account again. Does not happen with my account on another instance. Anyone else experiencing the same? Any clues as to what is causing it?

So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?

I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.

Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?

I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.

I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.
