While I’m sure we all have our own reasons for coming here, I believe that what we have in common - whether we are reddfugees or not - is that it either took us cognitive effort, an intersectional understanding of human behavior, culture, society and capitalism or living with trauma - or some combination thereof - in order to seek out the Fediverse. Such backgrounds organically come with maturity, which could be perceived as seriousness.

Thanks! I’ll make sure to at least get the connections right (line or xlr). Meanwhile, I was looking at: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07V9HCK1N

Edit: I’m going to try to find out whether they’re using a computer or not.

I have a friend who sings and I’d like to give them a looper as a birthday gift. Do you have any recommendations? My budget is 500 dollars, preferably cheaper.

If you need sexual and/or emotional exclusivity in a romantic relationship, do ask, unless you want to go through quarreling and drama later on.

Then it will be an easy transition from Stargate xD haha

Having rewatched Stargate SG-1 a bazillion gazillion times, I’m looking for something else with which to feed my Claudia Black needs.

Is Farscape any good? Why? Any other recommendations?

In my country, no.

if you are allowed to have conjugal visits - a privilege that has to be earned through time and effort - you have been deemed trustworthy enough to be left alone in a room without surveillance.
if you are not yet eligible for conjugal visits, then all your visits and phone call - although not letters for some reason - are monitored by somebody that understands your language. We use either our own personnel or contract it out to actual interpretors. If there is nobody available to translate, you are denied having the visit or phone call.

Linux: Arch Linux 7.0.12  
Graphical env: dwm on X  
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G  
MOBO: ASUS B550 TUF GAMING PRO  
BIOS (at the time of unexpected reboot): 3634

Other than panic reboots (panic reboots are turned off) and reboots forced by the CPU on insufficient voltage (the CPU is never taxed, albeit undervolted with minus 30 on all cores in PBO), have you ever experienced random and unexpected reboots? The other day, I noticed that one of my servers - serving only torrent uploads, an i2p router, a Snowflake proxy and an sshfs connection for media consumption - had rebooted for seemingly no reason.

The journalctl logs show two messages just prior to the reboot in question that I do not understand, except for them being related to the NIC?

kernel: r8169 0000:06:00.0: AMD-Vi: Event logged [IO_PAGE FAULT domain=0x000c address=0xa0fe1000]  

kernel: r8169 0000:06:00.0 enp6s0: NETDEV WATCHDOG: CPU: 0: transmit queue 0 timed out 5354 ms

Also, dmesg shows no logs - certainly no error related ones - around the time, or even in the days surrounding, the unexpected reboot.

My only guess is that there may have been some kind of firmware related instability - 3634 being a beta release and all - and since there is no communication between firmware and OS post boot (?), Linux reports no reboot related error and the journalctl messages above are actually unrelated to the reboot, or at most, just symptoms of the firmware induced failure. No idea… I have since upgraded the firmware to 3636.

Please advise. 😊

I bought an Argon TT-4 (not the MK2, but the MK1 is no longer available) two years ago and while my taste in music is somewhat limited/one-sided, I love listening to records!

Now, sometimes, I come across records that are thicker and heavier than others, for instance two of my Nancy Sinatra albums and Madonna’s Immaculate Collection, if I remember correctly (=too lazy to reach down for it now…).

Why is this? Does it signify a change in the manufacturing process over the ages, as in, thinner records are newer simply because technology evolved? Or was it a conscious choice to make some thicker? I can’t quite distinguish any difference in sound quality, since I’m using a pretty high fidelity Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge with some sic Adam A5X monitors…

Please advise! 😊

Well put! In my original post, I tried to draw from Hannah Arendt’s Banality of Evil , in which she discusses how the totalitarian Nazi state at the time came to be out of the inactions of people, among other things. I also tried to further exemplify it with the poem First They Came, and finally I tried to connect the dots with how the same process is ongoing as we speak but in regards to digital privacy.

Circa three hours ago, I made a post discussing how complicity through inaction threatens digital privacy. In the post, I made connections to the inactions of people during the 1930’s Germany. The post was removed for being posted in the wrong community:

Meanwhile, these are the rules:

I am not trying to pick a fight with the mods. I am trying to point out that there is no privacy without political discourse and action. That’s all I wanted to inspire discussion on.

Peace.

Siloing, or defense in depth, is always a good idea! In my country, there is no way to have a phone number or a SIM card without tying it to one’s government issued personal identification number, so personally, I’d use my compromised phone to tether Internet to the private phone. Using the gorgeous VPN Hotspot app, I can even tether a VPN connection without leakage. This of course doesn’t counter location tracking through cell tower triangulation, but then again, this post wasn’t specifically about that, so. 😄

Edit: SOLVED. It turns out, I had uninstalled the system package com.android.inputdevices , which is used to locate available keyboard layouts.

This is on a Samsung Galaxy S23 using Heliboard and Simeji as software keyboards. Samsung’s keyboard is uninstalled. On my Galaxy Tab A9+ with the exact same configuration, I am able to set the default keyboard layout…

Any ideas?
