  • That took me a long time to finally see. There is a character squatting over the Christmas tree, but they are so tall that it’s hard to make out. All you see are their lower torso and butt.

  • What The Actual Fuck is wrong with people?

  • Arch crashing randomly?? (newbie, please no "RTFM")

    Jump

  • Have to agree with the other replies: this could be any number of things. I’d start with the basics by making sure it’s not a hardware issue, then looking at software. Vostro is Dell’s budget business line, and my experiences with Vostro have been lackluster at best.

    That’s not to say it’s purely a hardware issue. I’m a hardware guy so I tend to look at hardware first. Any number of software issues could also be causing your issue, including drivers, driver configuration, data corruption on your storage device, a setting or config from your distro or upstream provider, or even some random utility you installed.

    Does it crash under other operating systems? Does it crash only after sitting idle for a certain time? Are you able to open another TTY and use the system from a prompt even though your screen is black?

  • Could an update brick my display [EndeavourOS]?

    Jump

  • I’ve been doing PC hardware for over 25 years. This is likely related to your laptop display - either the cable connecting the panel to the motherboard, the panel itself, or some motherboard component connected to the display output that has failed.

    Try pivoting the display back and forth and see if the glitches change in response. If they do, it’s the cable.

    Beyond that, you’d need to do some testing to find the hardware component that has gone bad.

    Israel is a rogue nation. It should be removed from the United Nations

  • FUCK ISRAEL, and FUCK Netanyahu. The descendants of victims of genocide have themselves become perpetrators of genocide.

    America should have stopped giving them funding decades ago.

    Fuck Netanyahu right in the ass with a 2x4

  • Whats the best/cheapest email service to hook into?

    Jump

  • About a year ago, I trialed both Proton Mail and Tuta mail. Proton mail worked out better for my needs, but YMMV. 

    One nice thing about switching providers is that it gives you the opportunity to rid yourself of years of built-up cruft and spam.

  • Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy tools

    Jump

  • I use Ventoy to boot everything but macOS. Those installers need their own partitions on the SSD.

    Jump

  • Do yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.

    My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.

    Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.

  • Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

  • Israel can fuck right off. Clearly, “never again” doesn’t mean fuck all to the Israeli government who are doing the same shit the Nazis did, only with bombs instead of gas chambers.

    Fuck Israel. The US should have stopped giving them money decades ago.

  • Why would you continuously record? Just record motion events and you won’t need a card that large at all, plus it will last a lot longer.

  • I feel like this is a product looking for a market. Why would anyone ever trust that much data to something so fragile and easy to lose?

  • And after you spend 14 hours filling it with data, it falls out of your shirt pocket when you lean over to tie your shoe, gets caught by a gust of wind, and is gone forever.

  • Macbook Air wireless card replacement?

    Jump

  • I am having this exact same problem on my MacBook Air running Ultramarine Linux, a Fedora derivative.

    I finally gave up and plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. Not ideal, but it works.

  • I’m a huge fan of Joplin. It runs on everything and syncs to either your or their cloud. Been using it for a few years now.
