Despotic Machine

A problem as old as the hills. I solved that problem many years ago by moving away from KDE, lol. Sorry I have no applicable advice.

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.

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.

Hier sind zwei drei vier funf sechs, die mir sofort einfallen:

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.

Try:

sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*

some sort of error message

Having this complete error message would help determine what is going on.

OK, check you PMs

Windows ME came out. After installing it and wasting a bunch of time trying to get it to work reliably, I wiped the HDD and installed Debian potato instead. That was 23 years ago.

When will the Linux VPN client support automated port forwarding and wireguard?

Molt bé.

I’m hoping Veilid becomes the new standard platform for a variety of privacy respecting apps. Cult of the Dead Cow just released it at Defcon in August. It looks promising.

This violates rule 2. Bioterrorism is not funny.

Two is probably better than one. Thanks for the reply.
