Infrared lasers aren’t visible. They’re still higher frequency than radio waves. To say that visible light is visible radio is to say that the sky is green, just that it’s predominantly blue coloured green.

I would say don’t give DOGE any ideas but I think that’s less bad than some of their own.

Gallup get 46% Israeli support in response to the question “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” Palestinians get 33%.

Barrier is only for inputs IIRC. To get Keyboard Mouse and Video (more usually KVM) you need some kind of remote desktop software. Rustdesk is pretty straightforward. I think Gnome handles RDP access natively now if you’re running a Gnome based Linux distro. Otherwise XRDP is a bit of a faff, but solid once it’s working.

If you have the docker-compose.yml locally, you can nix run github:aksiksi/compose2nix to translate it into a nix file for inclusion in your nixos system config. I think that could be done in the config itself with a git url but I’m not that great at nix. You will surely still need some manual config to e.g. set environment variables for paths and secrets.

How do the DNS servers resolve local hostnames then? The pihole DHCP integration adds local hostnames to DNS when they are assigned an address. If there’s two DHCP servers handing out leases, presumable only one would be accepted, how then would the DNS servers sync those names?

I think I had my secondary pihole resolve local names from the primary, and leases were copied over on a cronjob in case the secondary DHCP server had to be enabled.

Not that it particularly matters for just queries. The problem is that DHCP can only be enabled on one host. If that one fails then devices can’t get on to the network themselves. I’d like to know a good way to have a failover DHCP server - my janky cronjob isn’t great.

Where do you do DHCP? I had a primary pihole with DHCP enabled and a secondary with a cron job that enabled DHCP if the primary was down or disabled it if the primary was working. The cron job did sync DHCP leases from one to the other but it was a bit janky. I tried to update the secondary to pihole v6 and hosed it so I have no backup for now. I’d like to re-image the secondary and get a better setup - when I have time.

Edit to say I really wanted to try keepalived - that’s really cool to fail over without clients noticing.

Solar photovoltaic doesn’t involve steam. We can be solarpunk as well!

I guess hydro-power uses steam in the global water cycle so I’ll give you that. Radio-Thermal Generators are all solid state, but not much power on earth comes from them.

I don’t quite understand what the backlash is here. The article is about FAQs on the Mozilla website. It seems reasonable that some people might interpret “sell” to be accepting money to set the default browser to Google. Clarifying that on their site seems fine. The FAQ was surely never legally binding.

Their ‘Terms of Use’ document is new as of Feb 26 AFAIK. Is that what people are upset by?

There’s a talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMUMRNRkcMg but I’m not much clearer after scrubbing through some of the slides. It sounds like all GPIO pins on recent Intel chips support this Timed I/O functionality. I don’t know if they could measure the timing of transactions to a NIC - I would think this is only for specialist hardware or testing. They mention using a logic analyser to compare the clocks of two systems after synchronisation.

Doom is one of the examples for the PicoVision. It might need some hacking to get the keyboard to work since I think he used I2C to connect it instead of USB, but it can definitely run Doom.

I think this wiki cheetsheet will explain some of the defaults. Pretty much everything is controlled with a keybind using the meta/super (windows) key. Mod + d should open the launcher, I only used dmenu but yours might be something else. The launcher will let you launch applications by name. If you just want a terminal, Mod + Enter will open one.

You will want to look at your config. It should live in ~/.config/sway/config. If it’s not there then mkdir ~/.config/sway/ && cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/. That should list the keybinds you have set. You can look up the options in the man page for sway.

Once you can do some basic window control, you might want to customise the status bar. The config should tell you what bar is being used, but there are a huge array of statusbars to choose from - I used i3status-rust but try searching for i3/sway statusbars to see what’s out there.

They look like they need to tighten up the graphics a little bit.

They’re on discount. You don’t have to pay for the extra 40% of a keyboard.

Ah, I saw another comment about this. The free plan is 300,000 queries a month. That’d last me almost a week before it stops working.

That says it will only function for 300,000 queries per month. Based on my last 24 hours from pi-hole, that wouldn’t even last a week. Are you using a paid plan?

Yeah, I really dislike snap and have puppet clean it out and add in the real mozilla repo for me. If I wanted sandboxed apps I’d probably look at flatpak but I think there’s still work to be done there also.

Yeah, I just liked that bit of the meme. In the prank the meme is based on, they really are the same.
