    That means their metrics suck.

    Because I definitely gain a lot as a programmer, even though it doesn't necessarily translate into measurable profit for my company.

    I do spend my brain less on grindy boring shit and more on crafting creative solutions to interesting problems. Which in turn makes me quite happy - a HUGE benefit.

    Since you say

    change the path the .wav audio file

    fyi, the sys BAT paths are also different per laptop. Just in case it doesn't work for somebody else or for you on a different laptop.

    I really wish this would work on KDE at some point. It looks super neat and I was indeed doing something like this on x11 before.

    There are hdmi/dp dummy plugs of course.

    Just fyi

    a storage controller on an USB stick also has programmed "Gb" for addressing the flash storage. For example if you want to remove one of the flash chips, you could be asking how to reprogram the controller to use only half of it's initial capacity. Thats what I was confused about.

    But you actually meant Gb/s.

    What kind of controller and what kind of Gb are you talking about?

    Storage controller for USB sticks?

    Or gaming controller with an advertised Gb/s USB bandwidth?

    I wish I knew how tails does it so that I could make my Linux do it as well.

    Edit: oh, it's just spoofing the user agent af far as I can see. That doesn't hide it being linux at all.

  • Repost from: https://libreddit.nl/r/linux_gaming/comments/1d8qi81/phoronix_birthday_20_years_of_great_linux_content/ > He really seemed downbeat in his announcements regarding the birthday. He really puts a lot of work into the site but having a niche audience of tech literate users is probably the worst place to be with ad sales tanking as they do. If anybody is using adblockers, it's us and people are cheap. I really hope the guy has a nice birthday and gets lots of love and donations. The phoronix content is always great and I've been a long time reader. (I've donated the same amount as OP - see my screenshot)

    I am trying to set up a way to use my Linux normally and then on demand fire up an OSX VM with GPU passthrough. Arch Linux Gigabyte RX6600xt macos 13 Ventura VM I've been fucking around with it for two days, getting a bit further each time, but now I am stuck. I can boot up the vm just fine with OpenCore-Boot.sh Here is my script: https://pastebin.com/McyHyMk4 What I see, the screen goes black, then I see the TianoCore boot logo, then some errors and nothing more happens. https://imgur.com/JdTkXG2 I ran info pci via telnet and it showed the GPU. I have agdpmod=pikera in the config.plist and rebuilt the OpenCore.qcow2 according to the official instructions. When I add a vnc option and vnc into it from another computer, I can see the proper boot menu and select an entry and boot into macos. It even seems to recognize an AMD gpu, but not fully. Please tell me any debugging / info providing steps, as I am quite new to this. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

    I was reading the reddit thread on Claude AI crawlers effectively DDOSing Linux Mint forums https://libreddit.lunar.icu/r/linux/comments/1ceco4f/claude_ai_name_and_shame/ and I wanted to block all ai crawlers from my selfhosted stuff. I don't trust crawlers to respect the Robots.txt but you can get one here: https://darkvisitors.com/ Since I use Caddy as a Server, I generated a directive that blocks them based on their useragent. The content of the regex basically comes from darkvisitors. Sidenote - there is a module for blocking crawlers as well, but it seemed overkill for me https://github.com/Xumeiquer/nobots For anybody who is interested, here is the block_ai_crawlers.conf I wrote. ``` (blockAiCrawlers) { @blockAiCrawlers { header_regexp User-Agent "(?i)(Bytespider|CCBot|Diffbot|FacebookBot|Google-Extended|GPTBot|omgili|anthropic-ai|Claude-Web|ClaudeBot|cohere-ai)" } handle @blockAiCrawlers { abort } } # Usage: # 1. Place this file next to your Caddyfile # 2. Edit your Caddyfile as in the example below # # ``` # import block_ai_crawlers.conf # # www.mywebsite.com { # import blockAiCrawlers # reverse_proxy * localhost:3000 # } # ``` ```

    I have bought a font with a really shitty license agreement and I have a couple of questions. 1. How can I best share the font with the community? (I am afraid of metadata in the font files, which may be tied to my payment account etc. - I had to register and log in to download the ttf files) 2. How can I remove the DSIG and other metadata from the ttf file while keeping it usable? 3. Are they able to detect it if I use the font in a commercial product online by crawling my website and if yes, how could I prevent an automatic detection attempt? To my (and possibly your) surprise, I didn't find any free downloads of the font online. Their license is tied to a personal account, you have to log into once a year to keep the license. As far as I understand they theoretically could use the DSIG to let the ttf files "expire", at least when used in software that verifies the signature. But I may be wrong, please let me know. Thanks in advance and cheers-I mean ARR

    How to datahoard Lemmy

    Sorry for not doing much research beforehand and asking a newbee question. I am looking for some entrypoint info to the question: How would one go about datahoarding lemmy? It seems to be a grade above what I've been doing so far (downloading video/audio from streaming platforms and backing up web articles and blogposts as pdfs) due to the distributed nature and the activitypub protocol. ___ Relevant stuff that I've found so far but havent studied extensively: 1. This does not seem to store most of the data https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer
