Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application?

That's up to the application.

If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for.

I believe this is for storing the position of specific windows, for multi-window applications (e.g. GIMP's multi-window mode). So hibernation is very unrelated.

There's The Serial Port, It's not really 'home networks', but he finds and sets up very early (~80-90s) ISP gear and explains how it works and the history of it. Similar to how Ben Eater uses an 'old' 6502 to explain stuff.

I've had the same experience, you're much better off RDPing into the VM. But I'd like to know if anyone has a better solution that doesn't require an extra GPU.

On Asus motherboards you can enable 'Memory Context Restore', and it'll remember the training. Unfortunately it seems rapid changes in the weather make my system unstable with it on.

I'm pretty sure schools must already have lockdown alarms in Australia (and drills every few years), so it's surprising that this isn't already a thing in America, especially with its issues.

cant move services as every other service sucks

What are your requirements?

I use Tidal and I know High/Max quality works in the web UI, just needs widevine support.

if they use AMD that's better on linux, they don't need to know what a GPU driver is.

Same goes for Intel, unless they need to use OneAPI.

Just to freak you out, I've played around with the EC on my Framework, and it really wouldn't be hard for someone to create a modified firmware with a key logger built in or something. But AFAIK the EC doesn't have internet access or a way to screw with the OS, so it would be mildly pointless without accompanying software.

Modifying the BIOS seems slightly more difficult, although I think some Frameworks are still vulnerable to LogoFAIL.

I wouldn't worry about extra chips, they'd either be quite noticeable that they shouldn't be there, or too expensive to be wasted on a stranger.

So the chances are, unless you've got some proper enemies, it's fine. I'd definitely update the BIOS (which also updates the EC), and fresh install Windows/Linux, but that's as far as I'd go.

I've seen some that activate an insane number of breakpoints, so that the page freezes when the dev tools open. Although Firefox let's you disable breaking on breakpoints all together, so it only really stops those that don't know what they're doing.

That looks to be Volcanic Islands, which has good support with amdgpu and no support by radeon, according to Wikipedia.

I'm not sure what you meant by "set up radron kernel driver", but you could maybe try blacklisting it.

The DongleHider+ looks pretty good, I haven't made/used one though.

I have no idea how CoW interacts with NTFS

With btrfs you can disable COW for specific files, that might give you a little performance boost.

 

I was basically thinking of a simple browser app for Android that automatically makes its requests over a Wireguard tunnel.

I don't publicly expose a lot of my self hosted services, most are only available over a Wireguard VPN. I don't think my family could work that out, and I also don't usually keep it enabled all the time on my phone.

It doesn't have to be a fully featured browser, I'm fine for it to be the built in Android WebView or something, and just have a configurable menu of pages that can be easily visited.

I have some Android app experience from Uni, so I could maybe help out somewhat, but I feel I'm going to be in way over my head to do this alone. I'm happy to donate a little anyway.

 

This is more of a public note to self, but if anyone else had screwed up fonts, default cursors, and missing minimise/maximise buttons in flatpaks on KDE Wayland, put this in your /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/kde-portals.conf:

[preferred]
default=kde;gtk;
org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=kde;gtk;

Then restart xdg-desktop-portal.

Apparently this will be fixed in 5.27.9 releasing on the 24th anyway, but I've tried so many different 'solutions' and this had been annoying me for weeks.

 
 

I'm not usually one to share links, but my old school's Headmaster (Dr Paul Browning at St Paul's School) is in a little bit of trouble with the Anglican church for compensating child sexual abuse victims from incidents in the 80s/90s. As he started in 2008, those victims technically weren't his problem but he refunded their tuition fees anyway because it's the right thing to do. However the Anglican church doesn't see it that way and sacked him.

I graduated in 2021, but he was truly an amazing person, somehow remembers everyone's names, greeting them whenever and while I never had him as a teacher, I've heard he was really an amazing & energetic teacher when in the classroom. I was even at the school earlier this year and was asking how I was doing with uni and stuff. I genuinely believe he doesn't deserve this.

Please share this as much as you can, there is a change.org petition, but I feel raising awareness and maybe writing to Bishop Greaves and the Anglican Schools Commission are probably the best ways that you can help!

Thanks for Reading!
