Strange. I have a displaylink box ar home. My Ubuntu machine works first time every time. My wife’s Windows 11 PC takes 10 minutes of stuffing around every time I try to connect it.

I’m an Aussie. Same king, different colony :P

Crosstalk while trying to dump a load sounds horrendous.

This is bullshit because no bloke has ever mumbled a word in a dunny block.

Linux is great when you have the opportunity to choose the right hardware upfront.

There’s a few things that are outright neglected.

I’ve been running a relay from home for years. I think I’ll have a shot at this. I’m not sure we want Russians on tor right now though.

The client APK that I’m running appears unaffected.

Can confirm. My car is that colour. Am yet to collide with a cyclist.

I don’t have great hopes for the Australian election 6 months away.

ISPs often have SMTP relay servers. If you hook into that, your mail gets instant street cred.

IMO anything sold by weight should be measured by weight in a recipe.

I could have an exception for things under 20g, which scales seem to get wrong a lot. I can do spoons, but not cups.

Also: Metric only. A tablespoon is anywhere from 13g to 20g depending on who you’re talking to. A gram is always a gram.

Reducing the size and weight of a car goes a long way for environmental impact. People seem to think it’s just less fuel being burned.

In reality, there is a reduction of almost every consumable. Smaller tyres. Less tyre wear. Less brake dust. Less oil used. Less chemicals when washing. Less wear on the road surface. Less manufacturing emissions. Less disposal when it’s done.

The relationship isn’t linear either. Doubling the weight of the car results in about 10x the surface wear.

Don’t get short with me, buddy!

Where I’m from, “dragged” means to be removed against your will.

You know, like “the pitcher got dragged after the first inning”.

Setting up fail2ban to block people trying to brute force the admin panel is a good start.

I think you will find that VoLTE is neither wifi nor data. It’s a LTE voice connection. A VoWifi will fallback to it.

I’ve set mine up so that entering my PIN backwards will nuke it. At which point I can ask for my phone back.

Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

18 hours by default.

You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?

I was tempted by Arc. Intel drivers always “just worked”, but they are just slow. Arc didn’t address the problem like I’d hoped, and AMD really got their shit together in the last 5 years or so.
