A friend of mine is a musician. About a decade or two ago I went over to his house and he said that he had to get a new fan to fix his computer. I asked him what was going on, so he turned it on and I heard that tick-tick-tick of the read head. I had to let him know it was his hard drive. He had a lot backed up, but not everything, and not the stuff he’d been working on the past couple weeks. Just a bummer. But he did set up a backup program after that.

The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

LOL, more distraction from one party’s inability to do their freaking job. It’s funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet “crash” and 2) These “crashes” only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it’s painful at times.

pdfimages is what you want, I believe. It’s in the poppler-utils package in Debian.

That just brings me back to starting the compile, getting something to eat, doing chores, and whatever else. Then when it was finally done, booting it up only for it to not boot because I forgot some checkbox. Repeat a couple of times. Nights getting the thing working. And then on the next kernel release, trying to make sure I remembered all the checks because it didn’t let you export the current config back then.

“World” news?

That would be a pretty basic bash script, but as others have said, really not recommended.

This is annoying. Still didn’t work for me. But I uninstalled violentmonkey (not sure why I picked that one years ago, but I hadn’t had any issues before. I installed tampermonkey and it seems to be working for me. Thanks!

Yeah, I didn’t think any of that would make a difference. It’s just not showing under active scripts when I’m on lemmy.one

I love the idea. It’s not working for me. Violenmonkey, firefox, Linux, for what it’s worth. I’ve been wanting something like this since I started using Lemmy.

Russia doing Russian stuff.

Going back to the most famous code comment in Unix history You are not expected to understand this.

As someone who uses neomutt for mail, I may be an outlier. I like to feel like I have control over my email without having to worry about my internet connection. Also, I really, really hate the lag of web clients.

I almost ordered an Orange Pi5 yesterday. I realized I still have a couple RPi4s around, and I’d just be spending money on something I really don’t need. I’m waiting for a good excuse though, the reviews looked pretty solid. What are your impressions?

Oh, that is nice. Thanks for the link. That works great, basically similar effort to just copy/pasting, but with far better results.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately I haven’t touched anything Apple in at least a decade.

Nice to group the US, working with police in foreign countries to help protect endangered animals and helping US citizens, with China, working inside foreign countries to make sure Chinese citizens aren’t disloyal to China. Feel free to bitch about US shitty behavior in foreign countries, lord knows they have left a trail of blood behind themselves, but this particular article isn’t it and the parallels aren’t there.

I had never heard of that app! I tried it with no luck, but I’m going to keep that in my pocket for later use. Thanks.

I’m trying to get all. I mean, I’ve pretty much manually copied most of the info already, it’s just that I can’t do it all at once that is bugging me. I’ll go out to one of the islands, and there are numerous anchorages. So what I’ve been doing is copying the one or two that I know I’ll be going to, then picking a couple alternatives so I have options. It’s not the end of the world, because I’m not a complete idiot as I do have NOAA charts and can navigate with them, it’s just that website is great for specifics on the spots.

Yeah, historically that didn’t work out great for everyone. There’s a reason if you open a public business in the United States you are expected to serve the public.

So protesting intolerance is “no better” than promoting intolerance. Got it. Both side, blah blah, or something.
