Are all FRU for a particular Lenovo Marketing part number compatible/identical? (lemmy.ml)

I'm asking here since I assume a lot of you guys are running homelabs on Lenovo hardware.

I have two M720q Tiny that came with one 8 GB 2400MHz SoDIMM RAM each (see picture). I upgraded one to 2x 32 GB RAM and want to reuse the sticks in the other one for 16 GB in total and dual channel use. They have different FRU numbers (see picture) but I assume it's the same marketing part number and I guess my plan works?

Can anyone confirm? I'm just unsure about dual channel since it's not exactly the same RAM and I'm used to using exact pairs.

Thanks!

I'd love to get an invite, too. Thank you very much.

Have you tried NixOS? by archer in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] archer@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Wow thanks I was wondering for a while if something like this existed! I'm very happy with regular Arch, but I am very curious to try both an immutable/atomic and a declarative distro. At least the second I guess I can kina replicate now with this. Another rabbit hole to go down I think. :D

Steam: Controller not working anymore in Forza Horizon 4 (lemmy.ml)

So I've been playing Forza Horizon 4 for a while without any issues using a XBox One Controller via Bluetooth. First i used Proton experimental and later Proton GE. Absolutely no problem.

Now however, the controller is not being recognized in game anymore (the on screen buttons show keyboard keys, not gamepad buttons) and I can't use any of the buttons (except the screenshot one). In the Steam menu, the controller test settings, big picture mode etc. it works fine and its recognized normally.

I didn't make any changes (before it happened, now of course it tried a bunch of stuff) but I did upgrade the system normally.

Any ideas what might have caused this issue?

Question on moving hard drives by archer in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[-] archer@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

So install back both disks, make a bootable gparted stick and do the cloning from there? The new disk is basically empty save the new file system, but ofc I can just delete that.

I'm running Proxmox on a Lenovo ThinkCentre and I decided to swap the internal 256 GB 2,5" SSD for a 500 GB NVME.

I installed the new NVME alongside the old SSD, and formated it in ext4 with a single partition. I then proceeded to 'dd /dev/sda /dev/nvme0n1' and it went through without an error.

My impression was that it would clone all content from the old drive to the new, but it wouldn't boot the new drive. I then logged in and set a boot flag via fstab a, but that only helped me boot but the system gets stuck at "waiting for root file system".

Nothing is lost as the old drive still works fine when installed but how do I complete the swap correctly so I can go NVME-only?

Thank you!

You can use those on usenet, too. Just add your new trackers and download client, the rest of the -arr stack can remain as is.

I'd prefer to keep both the recordings and the transcription local if possible, either on device or self hosted.

Hi people

Is there any good FOSS dictation and transcription software similar to Just Press Record for Android and/or Linux?

I couldn't find anything so far. Thanks a lot.

For me it only works for signing in after sleep, but not for anything else (T490). Does your Thinkpad work better/in more ways?

It works for me in GrapheneOS, should work on regular Android, too? What I'm missing is a dedicated Proton contacts application including integration into the phone app.

[solved] Using Nextcloud as a directory/folder/remote location by archer in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

[-] archer@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

OK so I managed to enable it! :) Thanks for everyone suggestions.

If you have the same issue and find this thread later: on a regular install, open /home/yourusername/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg with a text editor. On flatpak, open /home/yourusername/.var/app/com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud/config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg. Add the line showExperimentalOptions=true under the general section. Restart Nextcloud desktop and delete the current synchronization destionation. Readd it and you'll see the option to use virtual files. Confirm that it's experimental and you're done.

Hi guys

Is there any way to access Nextcloud files (self hosted) in a file manager just like a regular directory or remote location? So the way iCloud or Dropbox allow you to access files and use them for example to upload them in a browser. So far I only managed to access the files in the Nextcloud WebUI or via the command line (but then a resync is necessary).

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Is there a FOSS 2FA app that syncs between Linux, MacOS and Android (using a self-hosted Server)?

U.S. "Know Your Customer" Proposal Will Put an End to Anonymous Cloud Users * TorrentFreak by archer in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] archer@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I did a similar setup for my own cloud on several Raspberry Pis (one master and two backup devices). The backups are placed offsite and sync the entire content of the master device. The next step I want to try now is running a Proxmox cluster (on x86) that now only syncs contents but also provides identical copies in a high availability setup (like a "real" cloud would).
