  • Doesn't sound like it, seems the only one rambling about that is the confused elder who's unsure whether it's iceland or greenland he wants.

    "Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland," he said.

    He did not give details, but said talks would continue to reach the deal.

    Rutte, for his part, said he had not discussed the key issue of Danish sovereignty over Greenland in his meeting with Trump.

  • I use the same combo.I find FairEmail + Fossify Calendar/Contacts + DAVx5 works great on my android.

  • Oh, I just looked at it. Seems like the perfect solution. I enjoy that you can easily lock and unlock the vault while the machine is up and logged in to ensure no one can gain access due to the computer being left on but unattended. Much smoother than the old encrypted 7-zip that I used as a teenager.

  • As you're using KDE and NixOS I imagine you got Dolphin as your file manager.edit: While the below is great for an encrypted backup of your images that you can move to a thumbdrive or another computer I recommend you look at the Vaults mentioned by @e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de for encryption directly on the machine.

    Step 1: - Create an encrypted and password protected 7-zip

    Step 2: - Settings for the 7-zip

    Step 3: - Opening up the encrypted 7-zip file by double clicking and entering the password from Step 2

    Step 4: Place the picture folder and the 7-zip next to each other

    Removal of pictures from the 7-zip is as simple as rightclicking on them:

    Adding pictures to the folder can be done as a simple drag and drop:

    While this allows you to see the thumbnails of your unencrypted images before drag and dropping them to the 7-zip you will not be able to see thumbnails when they've been encrypted (Compare left and right view in drag and drop image).You can double click images in the encrypted archive to open them up though.

  • All you gotta do is tick the box when you set it up.

  • Cheers!

  • I use Fossify Calendar and Fossify Contacts together with DAVx5.I use FairEmail for IMAP/SMTP.All found on F-Droid.

  • I default to Lutris for my offline installers and for games that isn't one click installs when trying them in heroic games launcher.For most games that one click install in heroic has been working fine fthough.

  • Easiest way to install gog games would be heroic games launcher imoedit: And so says their guide

  • Section 9 - The Engineering Mindset was an interesting part of the article.

    edit: Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2009This is an ooold paper

    The proportion of engineers who declare themselves to be on the right of the political spectrum is greater than in any other disciplinary group: 57.6 % of them are either conservative or strongly conservative, as compared to 51.1 % of economists, 42.5 % of doctors and 33.5 % of scientists, 21.4 % of those in the humanities, and 18.6 % of the social scientists, the least right-wing of all disciplinary groups.[...]The Carnegie survey reveals an even more surprising fact, hitherto unnoticed, that strengthens the suspicion that the engineers’ mindset may play a part in their proneness not only to radicalise to the right of the political spectrum, but do so with a religious slant: engineers turn out to be by far the most religious group of all academics – 66.5 %, followed again by 61.7 % in economics, 49.9 % in sciences, 48.8 % of social scientists, 46.3 % of doctors and 44.1 % of lawyers.[...]One could question whether this mindset is unique to academic engineers. The answer is likely to be negative: similar results are found on the political and religious opinions of students, both for “un-socialised” beginners in the first four semesters and more advanced ones.[...]Still, one could further object, the phenomenon could be uniquely American. Some old evidence suggests that at least the right-wing bias occurs in the Middle East: a 1948 survey of 3,890 Cairo University students recorded the highest sympathies for fascist ideology among engineering students (Botman Reference Botman1984, p. 70). A survey of Canadian professors also found that engineers are the least liberal of all (Nakhaie and Brym Reference Nakhaie and Brym1999).

    Unfortunately, non-US data that would allow us to combine political and religious attitudes are of much lesser quality.[...]The results from 2,816 cases in 16 mostly Western countries show that engineers were not more religious than other graduates and only insignificantly to the right of them. However, the combination of the two characteristics occurred far more often among engineers than the null hypothesis of non-correlation would predict – the only professional category in which this happened. Whereas based on individual scores on religiousness and right-wing attitudes we expected 9.4 % of engineers to share both attributes, 13.9 %, actually did (significant at 0.05).

  • Ah yeah - always a good idea to verify support on the motherboard. I think AMD mbs are usually better on the bifurcation front than Intel ones.The Startech card I linked is backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0 M.2 NVMe cards, they mention that they've tested with Samsung 970 EVO for example, so you can still fill it up with older, cooler M.2 cards even if it supports PCIe 4.0.

  • When nslookup google.com from a laptop on this LAN, it returns Server: 10.2.0.1 Address: 10.2.0.1#53

    nonauthoritative answer: google.com with ip information repeated.

    I don’t under stand this return as it’s an ip outside my lan net and dhcp provisioning.

    I'm unclear on what you're confused about regarding the above quote. Here comes an explanation of nslookup.The command is nslookup

    <domain>

    <dns-server>

    and if dns-server is empty it uses your default. F.e.:

    ***@fedoragaming:~$ nslookup www.google.com 8.8.8.8

    The response starts by telling you which

    <dns-server>

    it used for the lookup and which address including port was used:

    Server: 8.8.8.8Address: 8.8.8.8#53

    It then gives you the answer on where to find the

    <domain>

    , once for ipv4 and once for ipv6:

    Non-authoritative answer:Name: www.google.comAddress: 142.251.142.228Name: www.google.comAddress: 2a00:1450:400f:807::2004

    edit: I think I understand your question a bit better now. To check which dns-server you're using do a "cat /etc/resolve.conf"If you run a distro with systemd then use the command "resolvectl status"

  • I mean they have added a chatbot to their website and I'm sure they have replaced overseas first line support in many products with chatbots as well to encourage their customers to give up on getting support (and ensure that the customers that prevails and get sent to a human coworker are sufficiently pissed off).

  • “They ruthlessly cut costs, R&D, and employee benefits and then replace existing employees with overseas contractors. Innovation and growth take a back seat to sheer profitability.”

    This is the operating manual that explains why IgniteTech’s much-publicized AI purge feels more like a familiar private-equity play.[...]IgniteTech is owned by ESW. For anyone who’s watched the ESW orbit, that vagueness is not accidental. ESW’s playbook, summarized in a long explanatory dossier that has circulated inside the industry, is blunt: buy distressed software, strip costs, move work to an hourly contractor model through a unit like Crossover (which has been described in Forbes as a “global software sweatshop”), and squeeze recurring revenue out of an existing customer base rather than invest in new products.
