  • Ex-Cyclone Tam live: Planes, ferries cancelled, thousands lose power as winds hit Auckland, Northland

  • I need to look into emergency electricity again; not going to get panels & battery for the house any time soon (or at least, not this year) but feels like being more prepared would be sensible just in case a similar Tam/Gabrielle hits Hawke's Bay again.

  • Apple Discontinues iPhone SE

    Jump

  • Its also a massive size jump too. I've stuck with my iPhone 8 in large part because I just don't want a massive phone in my pocket. At this rate god only knows what i'll do when the 8 finally dies, most manufacturers followed the trend and got their phones to swell.

  • Migrated from Nginx to Caddy

    Jump

  • I had these sorts of issues too, always assumed it was something i'd goofed - but have never had similar with Caddy.

  • Migrated from Nginx to Caddy

    Jump

  • I used NPM as well, and eventually just got sick of various issues i'd had with it (probably all my fault, but...) so switched to Caddy and it was just so much easier and reliable for me. I'd heartily recommend it.

  • TIL. Norway taxes oil companies 78% and we only take 5% royalties.

  • If I understand the argument is that we have no expertise in finding and extracting it, so we have to offer bigger concessions to get anybody to do it.

    Which sounds like the wrong solution to the problem, but what would I know?

  • LTT warnning: I Can’t Keep Waiting for SteamOS! - Linux Gaming Update 2025

    Jump

  • I have dual boot available (win10 - bazzite/gnome/nvidia) and haven't had to boot the win10 partition since the first week I set up the bazzite one.

    I have very few problems, just intermittent weird graphics glitches after waking from suspend. Occasionally for whatever reason the 2 monitors I have plugged into the RTX 4070 will rapidly flip between joined (ie two separate displays) to mirroring display 1 on display 2, and sometimes flashing a black screen on display 2. The 3rd screen plugged into the mobo rarely gets involved in whatever is going on.

    I think that's possibly a Wayland / nVidia thing but is extremely rare to happen on a fresh boot so has been pretty easy to workaround.

    The only Windows thing I miss is the VoiceMeeter audio mixing app from VB-Audio which was far superior to anything i've found so far that I can get working on bazzite. One thing about the linux audio that really annoys me is how each time some audio plays - eg every next youtube video its on a new audio stream and ignores the previous volume level I had set. But very first world problems :)

  • i'm becoming a linux nerd and this power button thing would be fine for me bc ive discovered how good suspend is and never power off my desktop anymore anyway, just spend then bump the keyboard when i want it back.

  • Wouldn't you just pull the power cord at that point? If the device has become completely unmanageable such that it needs a power reset i'd be surprised if there's much more harm that way than holding down the power button until it turns off.

  • I can't remember where I watched it - but I saw some video a while ago now where (I think) the engineer was explaining that shutdown & power on does less of a cleanout than restart on Windows. Something to do with shutdown going through steps more similar to a sleep/suspend than restart. Made little sense to me but would be interesting to see if post restart or post power-on the computer was "fresher"

  • I wonder if power buttons are a Windows thing? I recently switched to Linux on my desktop and have a MacBook as well. On the MacBook i'm not sure if i've ever used the power button - it just goes to sleep & I wake it up.

    And on Linux the suspend is so good I don't power off at all, but on Windows I always did so needed the power button all the time.

  • This is the perfect 'retro' Mac

    Jump

  • I still have one of these, I bought it & set it up as a server 14 years ago so its been powered on the majority of its life, and still functions ok. I've slowly moved most stuff off it and now it kinda just exists as a computer to buy & download albums from iTunes on if I can't get them on bandcamp etc.

    If I didn't need OSX for the iTunes part i'd have rebuilt it a long time ago with some more lightweight linux distribution but its doing a job and now i'm reminded of how old it is I kinda want to see if I can get it to 20 years.

  • Apex Legends no longer playable on Linux

    Jump

  • It seems like BS eh. Other folks I've seen are suggesting its just because they want to ditch easy anti-cheat to go with EA anti-cheat which (apparently) is windows only with no plans to develop for linux.

  • Why are tech news websites suddenly bashing 8GB RAM in Apple devices?

    Jump

  • I used Smultron for yonks as well; very good app.

    One thing I like about neovim (and its taking me ages to learn & improve) is being keyboard first and having less time with fingers away on mouse etc, its helped my concentration, as has full screening my terminal session and not having anything pop up in eye lines!

  • Yeah I don't think the Air is really the premium Apple laptop by any stretch.

    Not to be an evangelist; but on my M1 Air I found VS Code to be a pig (plus I had to run both universal and native M1 versions) so much that it was finally motivation to try neovim like I kept seeing all these people promoting. Wouldn't say i've gotten as used to it as quickly as others, but I can argue that its at least extremely lightweight in comparison, plus i'm not working under the license VSCode has.

  • It is more than a little silly that I need 16GB of RAM to make my work windows laptop functional in order to administer a bunch of 4GB linux VMs ;)

  • PCs are moving towards 32GB now.

    Windows PCs.

    I'm not going to pretend that more RAM isn't just automagically better, because it is. But 8GB RAM on a 2020 Lenovo Windows build feels and performs much worse than 8GB in a 2020 M1 Macbook Air.

    8GB was so unusable in my work* (IT Pro for large corporate) laptop that they eventually agreed that we were "power users" and so could have an upgrade to 16GB RAM. But it still feels a bunch worse than my M1 due to all the additional sludge that gets lumped on top for corp reasons.

    *Just to describe what I do, I have browsers open, MS Teams and then spend my day in SSH sessions to linux based servers, so realistically there was nothing "power" user about what I was doing, it was just that our corp Windows build & laptops are that awful. And now we've been 11'd, ugh.

  • [Help] Frigate and security cameras

    Jump

  • I put a passively cooled GT1030 in mine and its doing the decoding & tensorrt detection for 4x 1080p cameras just fine, based on its current load I expect I could add another 4.

    I couldn't tell you if that specific Amcrest camera will work, but I have 2 of the recommended ones on the frigate docs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083G9KT4C/) and they work.
