Evil_incarnate@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How do I setup a "portable proxy" using a Raspberry Pi?English31·7 months agoCommenting because I want to do something like this too.
Evil_incarnate@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?English2·9 months agoMotion on my RPI. I didn’t want it to save videos or photos, so I turned it off in the config. But it still saved them. So I tried a few other places in the config to turn it off, but nothing worked and I’d run out of space within a day. So I changed the save directory to /dev/null.
Then I tried to upgrade the pi, and the new version of motion has a different config, incompatible with the old one. So I’m running the old one.

Evil_incarnate@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the movie like thing that has happened to you?English45·11 months agoI was walking through the city, watched as a man in a suit in front of me (I was walking behind him for a couple of blocks) picked up a briefcase beside a newsstand and got in the passenger seat of a waiting black car which drove off.
I’m in a spy movie, I guess.
I saw one on the parcel shelf of a car in the carpark at IKEA once…
Pine was already taken by an email reader. One of the early ascii email readers was called elm, for ELectronic Mail. Pine was made after elm and it stands for Pine Is Not Elm.
I had an Acer laptop once. I had Ubuntu on it. I had problems with random crashing after a few minutes, I ran memtest, it took a few hours for a full test and came back with a whole slew of faults. I sent it to Acer under warranty and they told me that Linux was the problem and I should leave windows on it.
If you can put together Lego with the instructions or IKEA furniture, you’ll be fine. It took me three tries, and I learnt stuff from each mistake, so the worst that can happen is you learn.
Evil_incarnate@lemm.eeto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linus Torvalds Throws Down The Hammer: Extensible Scheduler "sched_ext" In Linux 6.11English7·1 year agoIt’s a heavy crown to wear.
I could have brute forced his password, there were SSH keys to various servers, I probably could have done something to him.
Just hijacking a discussion about security. I would think that Linux users would be more security conscious. But I found in my buildings trash a bunch of HDDs, some 1TB and a 5TB, so I took them to see if they were ok (and recycle properly if not).
All ext4 formatted and with lots of personally identifiable information including emails and photos and stuff.
The previous owner was an early Linux dev, wrote stuff that is still in the kernel. Yet unencrypted drives just thrown in the trash.
I’ve cleared the drives and now use them for myself, after I searched for a wallet.dat file.
Evil_incarnate@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which programming languages do you know?English2·1 year agoEnough of some to get me into trouble. I edited nethack to give me 95% probability to get wands of death, but then everyone got wands of death. And I still know Hypercard.
Looks like a company called Reeder from Turkey. The Sailfish OS is from Finland.
