You make an excellent point about the fediverse with which I wholeheartedly agree, but the point still stands that OP’s experience on lemmy.world in this particular situation was a result of their own unnecessary aggression towards someone asking a sincere question, not because it’s a “queerphobic shithole.”

lol, yeah, that was naïvely optimistic. Thanks for linking that!

Many of the credit reporting agencies will try to sell you on a subscription service that includes a credit “lock” feature that’s pretty much the same thing, but all of them are required to offer a free way to freeze your report so don’t let them talk you into it. Unless you’re interested in the other features of the subscription, which can be useful.

You’re being surveilled. Wonder what government watchlist you’re on?

My team and I last night were lucky enough that our computers came back up after a single reboot following the BSOD. VPN and certain applications were wonky the rest of the night.

We had nearly 300 servers impacted, almost 100 still down. All planned maintenance for the weekend has been cancelled. Incidents like these make me very glad I climbed the IT ladder enough to not be in a support role anymore.

A data breach is likely where they got your information from; whether it was this specific one is hard to say (there’s a new one practically every week).

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That very breach is when I started keeping my credit reports frozen, which I highly recommend everyone look into doing.

Not all that confusing. The fix is deployed so it won’t affect any more machines. The ones already affected will take a while to restore.

Here’s to hoping they’re hourly and not salaried!

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Not at all. You were just being a gaping asshole over there.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, slight inconvenience there, but like you point out there’s ways around it. In my docker setup, I’ve got a container that takes the random port from gluetun and drops it into qbittorrent.

I’d venture a guess the service wasn’t really down, just overwhelmed by the higher-than-usual activity and timing out for many people.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for alternate keyboard apps on iOS that don’t censor my less-than-polite speech? Having to type certain words out letter by letter is annoying enough since swipe texting won’t spell them out. And lately it seems like even after I type that stuff out, autocorrect will still go back and change those words. Tired of my phone trying to play Puritan Nanny.

Tried just googling the question, but the only results I get are how to add curse words to the text replacement list, and I’d rather not have to go program in every individual curse word.

 

In attempting to download American Dad, I've discovered the list of known shows with episode numbering issues because of TVDb's unflexible naming conventions. I found the option to "override and add to download queue" on the Interactive Search, but it didn't seem to be correcting the info on import. I finally found on the Servarr FAQ this bit about the override feature, "Note that this overruled information is not carried over to the import logic and manual imports may be required," indicating my override selections are ignored intentionally. So what's the point of this feature? Unless I'm missing something here, it seems completely useless to even have this option available if the override selections are then just completely ignored through the rest of the download and import process. Am I using this wrong?

 

I recently got Pihole setup up and it’s working fine so far for everything that actually uses it. However, I know Roku uses hardcoded DNS to direct its requests to Google DNS. I can set a static route in my router that forwards all traffic for 8.8.8.8 and .4.4 to my pihole address, and I even start to see Roku requests on the pihole dashboard, but the Roku itself just completely shits the bed and acts as if it has no internet connectivity at all.

I’m using a number of block lists from Firebog, and I do see quite a few blocks for Roku addresses in those. Are there certain essential domains that need to be whitelisted for Roku to work? Or have they just finally managed to get their device to just not work with any sort of traffic filtering?

 

SOLVED: Installed GloriousEggroll custom Proton. For Talos, also had to set launch options (PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_LOG=1 %command%) or else I'd just get a black screen. First runs of games take a bit to get loaded, but launch without issue on subsequent runs.

I'm a recent convert to Linux - currently running Mint 21.2. I don't have a huge Steam library and thankfully most of the handful of games I play have worked fine - Deep Rock, Lethal Company, Sea of Thieves, Elite Dangerous (although that one is through Epic, thanks Heroic Launcher).

Two others that I've tried so far - Astroneer and Talos Principle II - don't seem to want to get started. When I hit play on either of those in Steam, it just stalls at "Launching..." I can cancel the launching and it'll go back to the Play button, but at this point Steam won't launch anything else. When I try to exit steam, the main window closes but its icon is still in the system tray icons. At this point, I have to kill the steam tasks before I can get it to re-open.

Since I'm seeing similar behavior for two different games, I'm guessing it might have something to do with the Proton config? I don't know much about it other than it being the main compatibility layer that gets the games running on Linux. In my Steam compatibility settings, I've got Steam Play enabled for supported and all other titles, and I've got "Run other titles with" set to Proton Experimental. I've seen that you can set the Proton version on a per-game basis as well. If that's the issue, is it just trial-and-error figuring out which version I need to use with each game?
