Sway-wm used to be spawnable as a child window, not sure if that is still possible.

I think you should also be able to get multiple ctrl-alt-fX graphical sessions.

I'll come back and update this comment when I get to my PC and give this a try.

Edit: seem Max-P's comment.

Sure, sure, but did he have cat in his system?!? Checkmate atheists!1!

How hard was it hit, i kinda hoped that it would have to be a really hard hit to knock the tail off?

Getting the chassis would be hard, usually that's not a "part". But you could by a second hand/wrecked car and refurbish it with parts. It will be expensive and not easy, but possible.

Its only a genocide if it comes from the third reich. Anything else is just sparkling ethnic cleansing.

To be fair, we only know of this one. There may well be other open source backdoors floating around with no detection. Was heartbleed really an accident?

[-] CameronDev@programming.dev 165 points 6 months ago

That kinda sounds reasonable. Especially if it can prevent someone going down that rabbithole? Good job PH.

Im not a lawyer, but is this really good news? Isnt this just setting a precedent that Nintendo can shake down any emulator developer for ~2.4m any time they feel like it? So small developers are basically screwed?

Cutting Garolite (G10) (programming.dev)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by CameronDev@programming.dev to c/3dprinting@lemmy.ml

I posted here a while back when my glass bed failed. One of the suggestions was to replace with Garolite or G10. My sheet finally arrived and i set about cutting it down to size.

...

Within 4cm, my basically unused jigsaw blade was worn flat, and by the end of the first cut (20cm), there is basically no more teeth.

For the second side, I tried using a multitool cutter, and within a few millimeters it was visibly blunt (plastic and metal tools). Finished it off with a standard wood hand saw, which seemed to go better.

So warning to anyone considering garolite, dont use power tools, it will fuck them up.

It is actually a boot failure. Normally the kernel reads some config from the initrd (the bootloader loads initrd and passes it to the kernel - thanks dan) and then does a bunch of setup stuff, and then it mounts the actual root filesystem, and then switches to using that. In this case, the root filesystem has failed to mount.

Hardware failure is most likely the cause, but misconfiguration can also make this happen. Probably hardware though.

If its misconfiguration, an admin can reattempt to mount the root drive on /new_root, and then ctrl-d to get the init system to try again

ELI5: couldnt open C:/ drive

Edit: clarified what loads the initrd - as per dans comment.

I have a moderately long HDMI cable running to a screen that has worked for quite a while. Recently the screen lost its connection. I replaced the cable with the exact same model of HDMI cable, and its all good. The cables arent frequently inserted or removed, and they are otherwise in good condition. I have no idea how or why this could happen. Any ideas?

I have just realised that alien.top seems to be mirroring reddit accounts, posts and comments, without labelling them as such. What is the point of this one way mirroring? As soon as users realise, they are going to just leave. There is no point having a discussion with a bot that cannot respond.

I have been printing with PETG on glass for a little while now, and have gone through almost an entire roll. Yesterday I had my first print stick so hard that it delaminated the glass :(. I stopped using hairspray as it made the prints not stick at all, and printing bare glass was just fine. But something about yesterdays print made the glass give up. Is this how PETG + Glass normally fails? Works perfectly for years, and then suddenly fails?

I think its better to think of it like a president or prime minister. He might set the plan and direction and making the big decisions, but there are thousands of others supporting and making the plan actually happen.

In the past he has delegated the release to others as well.

So if the worst would happen, the linux project would continue operating fairly seamlessly.
