  • Framework 13 here, KDE Fedora user too. It literally never occurred to me that I could use the fingerprint to log in! Commenting so that whoever answers you can make my day too.

  • Unrelated mini-rant. I had an assignment to write a couple of pages about the logical fallacies evident in the movie shown by one of the jurors, but not number eight. Number eight did have a lot of confirmation bias. I asked if I could write that, and my instructor just went "Sure, go ahead. I'll be able to give you a zero in the first paragraph and it'll save me a ton of time making!" This was in a unit called "open-mindedness." Ty, you're an ass-hat. Also, a shit teacher!

  • I have a Windows 11 VM running in Proxmox. It works fine. I put a desktop with a Windows license in the cluster, passed the hardware ID into the VM, it didn't work, so I hollered at an MS rep for a bit and they activated it for me. I don't use it for much, but it works.

  • Well, I think you should've splurged for a slightly better keyboard...

  • That's a surprisingly complicated question! If you post the playback info, that might help. Also, what are you hosting Jellyfin on, what OS, environment, gpu? Do the same videos pay back clean in VLC? Does the computer posting back the media have scaling, or a weird OS? I have my Jellyfin in a Proxmox container and had all kinds of issues when passing a (very old) GPU through, but without it I can't get 4k. I have more than a few movies where I manually re-encoded them before putting them on Jellyfin and kept the source file zipped up for storage.

  • My local library has career coaches. They go over results, do mock interviews, but the career coach at my library? He's a straight up headhunter, and he gets the best walk-ins referred to HR at companies that fit. I had a buddy who was four months unemployed, suggested he talk to the career coach, and dude got him a job in less than two weeks. Also, maybe look at non-profits in your area, might have volunteer or low-paid psych jobs that can get a foot in the door.

  • My parents lived in a part of the world where they didn't always have phones. Dad lived on a farm, mom lived in town. School together, Church together. After school, Dad would go "help around the house" at mom's. Or vice versa. Once they got old enough, one or the other would go to the city in the family car for shopping, and bring the other with. Go see a movie, grab a bite to eat together.

  • Audio! I went from stereo to 7.1 and got this intense loud buzz that wouldn't go away! (Fedora KDE). Drove me nuts. Spent hours trying every dang thing. Finally connected it to a Windows machine. Same buzz. My woofer had just ate itself. Nothing to do with Linux at all.

  • Clipping. Totally out of my usual genres.

  • I obsessively/compulsively update and optimize computers. I see a missing driver or BIOS update not installed? A dusty CPU Fan? A security alert? I fix. I literally just went to bed after running "sudo dnf update -y && Sudo flatpak upgrade -y" on my wife's laptop that she doesn't even use! Thankfully, my work lets me tinker on machines all day, every day, and nobody cares if a side project shows up on the bench every now and then. I would do it for free if I didn't need the money. When I'm not at work, I do IT for family, and I volunteer at the library. I don't even game anymore, I self host and tinker. Hell, I spend more time mucking with Jellyfin than watching media. There are people like that. We exist.

  • I have a really cheap old as the hills desktop with an ancient Quadro gpu in it connected via a decently expensive but also used 10gb Nic to my nas which is running Proxmox and a bunch of containers, but the two interesting ones are a tailscale exit node and Jellyfin. The Jellyfin gets the gpu via pass through, and I get 1080p on tap anywhere in my house with no fuss no muss, and I can use the tailscale app, connect, and act like I'm in my house from anywhere else, including other continents. Noticeable delay on play and pause on media if I'm on the other side of the planet, but that's it for limitations.

  • I've had a bit of success with HDMI out to a splitter that does something funky with the edid, then into a capture card. The PC detects the capture card as a second display, drag the content into it, screen cap the "second display". I had all the gear for unrelated projects, but I haven't found any content I couldn't grab this way.

  • I do IT for a company that actually makes the world better! (And I live in the Texas of Canada, so...)

  • I finally have an awesome job!

  • I tried unihertz twice. Jelly2, no wifi out of the box, no support. Atom XL... Sigh No WiFi. Out of the box. No support.

    Different routers, different locations... Not my home setup.

    Bluefox NX1. Tiny phone! It's not amazing, but it's exactly enough phone for me. And, lo and behold... WiFi!

  • Georges Saint Pierre? Sorry, I had to...

  • No, it's end-user panic. "That report me and Bob were working on? It's gone! Emergency! Panic!"

  • sigh I know. It's my boss that implemented the policy... But it was after she audited password ages and a dictionary and found that CompanyName123 was universal and for years at a stretch.

  • Admin here! OneDrive synced home folders at work. Everyone ignores saving because 'autosave'. Once a week at least, some staff member spends hours on something after the mandatory 90-day password change, never signed back in to OneDrive, and gets to kiss all that work goodbye. Also, once a quarter at least, someone was working on a document shared to the by an employee who just quit, so we have to frantically 'unfire' someone's account so the suddenly missing document can be retrieved.
