[T400] Not booting, lights flickering (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by hellfire103@sopuli.xyz to c/thinkpad@lemmy.ml
0 comments fedilink
 

We had some heavy rain yesterday and my bag (containing my T400) got soaked. I tried to turn it on just now, and it appeared to boot at first.

I entered my geli(8) password and FreeBSD began to load, then the screen and status LEDs began to flicker rapidly. I tried holding the power button, but for the first time it didn't do anything, so I removed the battery.

When I turned it back on again, it didn't even show the ThinkPad boot screen; it just sat there flickering.

I have opened the case up and looked inside. I hve checked the RAM, the CPU, the SSD: even the DVD drive; and everything seems fine, yet the problem still persists.

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong and how I can fix it? Or is my laptop now borked? Thanks!

Wasn't my choice. I was 10.

Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They're like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.

Securing Bluetooth Headphones (sopuli.xyz)
 

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which I have been using since 2022. Today, I was sitting on the bus when some random person connected to them and started playing Free Bird.

It was a bit funny, but I don't want this to become a regular thing. Is there a way of locking the headphones to certain Bluetooth addresses? Or a way of making it not show up automatically on phones (similar to a hidden WiFi network)?

The headphones in question are the JBL Tune 510, which have a USB-C port. However, I don't know if this can be used to flash firmware.

If there's already a comment telling me to "just use wired" or something, please don't tell me again. It's the best solution, but my phone doesn't have a headphone jack (fuck you, Apple).

Thanks!

I've been seeing a few posts lately that, while interesting and beautiful, are not weirdcore.

Since this community rarely has any activity, I've left a few of them up; but for ****'s sake, please post actual weirdcore art.

Just so everyone knows what to do, I'll flood the community with a few images from r/weirdcore.

Suggestions for WM/DE (sopuli.xyz)
 

I'm going to be doing a clean install of Arch Linux on an old ThinkPad tomorrow morning, and I'd like some suggestions for a window manager, desktop environment, or Wayland compositor.

It can have a learning curve, but I would like it to not have too steep a learning curve (I have been using i3 for a while, and I have just come from LeftWM which I configured to have i3 keybinds). Also, in order to make it fairly obvious to my peers that I'm using Linux, I'd like it to look nothing like Windows or macOS.

Preferably something light (at least out of the box). When I was using LeftWM, my RAM usage was often around 200MB. I recently did a system analysis and I have 8GB of RAM, but my CPU will hold me back. It's an Intel Core 2 Duo of the Penryn microarchitecture (x86_64-v1).

Any suggestions?

My opinionated list of FOSS applications in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don't have a link handy right now.

You can put a birthday field in a contact, but it doesn't seem to integrate with the calendar.

I already use Tutanota for email, but you have to pay if you want multiple calendars.

I mean, I could probably code events manually using colour emojis (🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪⬛️⬜️🟫), but ideally multiple calendars would be standard.

The Privacy advantages of Kiwix. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kiwix is a pretty good tool. The only real disadvantage (as far as I know) is that edits to the pages often take a long time to come through after they're made on Wikipedia (or whichever wiki you're looking at); sometimes weeks or months.

Any iOS alternatives to NewPipe? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm afraid a PWA might be the only way to go. uYou, Cercube, and Yattee are the only apps that aren't crammed full of ads, tracking and in-app purchases.

I think it was this one, but I just went onto SearXNG and searched for "vaporwave wallpaper".

YouTube tests disabling videos for people using ad blockers in c/privacyguides@lemmy.one
[–] hellfire103@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be surprised if Google completely stamped it out. They're on Codeberg now, so that'll make takedowns trickier. It's also distributed, so taking down the Invidious websites is virtually impossible.

Also, while Google probably has pretty good lawyers, I'm not sure how well they'll stand up if they go to court.

What absolute wankers! In case anyone's adblock goes south, here are some YouTube alternatives:

  • PeerTube
  • Idk, make a video blog or something.
