You’re the same troll that started all this last time. Concern trolling is shameful behavior.

Removal of piracy communities

You're the same troll from last time.

At least this time, you provided a handy sign-up list that can be shared far and wide. Kudos to you for linking to and sharing piracy resources with the general public. I sure hope you don't get banned for breaking the new rules.

The decisions you make are one thing. The way you keep handling them so incredibly poorly is quite another.

Failing to run Mint on boot ("Not Found")

Jump

Despotic Machine @lemmy.world 2y ago

I don't know about any guide I can point to, but you can start over on the USB stick by recreating the partition table (msdos) and partition (fat32). I recommend using gparted for things like that if you are unfamiliar with the process. This ensures the USB is correctly setup to boot from.

What I would do:

Wipe USB stick.

Recreate Partition table and partition on USB.

Check Mint image integrity.

Rewrite USB with image.

Try booting from it again.

How do I properly lock my bike in a city where bike thefts are common?

Jump

Despotic Machine @lemmy.world 2y ago

Cover/remove any brand name labels. Duct tape and spray paint are ugly. Use them.

Lock it to something solid. Use multiple, high quality locks if you can. Lock it where there is video surveillance if possible. Never leave it long. Never ever leave it outside overnight.

Greetings from Berlin, where more than 25,000 bikes are stolen each year. That's 70 per day, or 3 per hour.

Despite following my own advise above as best I could, I have lost 3 bikes in the last 20 years. I still ride a bike everywhere though, 100% of the time, averaging over 5000 km a year.

Get out there and explore your city!

Edited to add, a good lock is going to cost a lot more than a standard one, and will easily weigh over 5kg.

PC constantly crashes, won't even boot.

Jump

Despotic Machine @lemmy.world 2y ago

If memtest is showing errors, something is wrong with the RAM. Either the voltage or timing are incorrectly set in BIOS, or maybe overclocked, or one of the sticks isn't seated properly, or defective. Try memtest with one RAM stick at a time with recommended voltage/timing to rule out a defective stick.

Why and how has this link domain been edited when the comment doesn't indicate any edit has been made? Elsewhere in the thread OP has two other links which have obviously been edited in the exact same manner, but the comment also shows no edit has been made.

Is this some kind of domain ban enforcement at the server level?

This is nice. I have a similar approach. I keep track of when all the flowers, fruits and nuts in my orchard are ready to be enjoyed, and look forward to the next thing, all year long.

Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux?

Jump

Despotic Machine @lemmy.world 2y ago

I have had random issues for the last 2 years where the active bluetooth adapter just vanishes suddenly and cannot be revived without a reboot (or oddly sometimes sleeping and re-awakening works). Some kernels are better than others, but it has never completely gone away. Often it is fine for days or even weeks of uptime, then it will occasionally crash within minutes or hours of booting. I use it for a mouse, which simply stops working mid-use.

In my case it's a built-in adapter that's tied to an internal USB hub, and it is the entire USB hub that is crashing and vanishing. When it happens dmesg says the hub is no longer accepting the address assigned. Error 62 and or 110.

This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad currently running anywhere from kernel 5.15 to 6.5 with the same random issue.

I have made voice calls with this in VirtualBox from a Linux host. Lacking support for VBoxGuestAdditions, it is not a great general solution, as you cannot easily bridge the gap between host/guest, however.

I have not tested QEMU.
