Frederic,

Hibernation or suspend? 2 different things. For hibernation you need a swap space at least the size of your RAM, and then the laptop is powered off after this.

For suspend, in your dmesg, see if you have:

ACPI: PM: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)

if you have S3 your laptop should lost only a few percent.

do a:

cat /sys/power/mem_sleep

what does it says?

New CPU/BIOS/PC/Laptop only support something called “s0 idle” meaning it is like a cellphone, everything is running, and each drivers/components/os should enter low power themselves, if they do not, well, your battery is draining.

S3 means “suspend to RAM”, only RAM is powered and everything else is off, your laptop can stay like this for days. I don’t know who decided that this is bad and your laptop should be like your cellphone, always running?!?

Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

Frederic,

Use MX Linux instead, I will never go back to something else

Suspension on my laptop (closing the lid) causes Wifi to not be available. (kbin.social)

Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved....

Frederic,

what? suspend works flawlessly for years

Frederic, (edited )

You need to unload your wifi module before suspend.

Without systemd it’s easy:

create a file /etc/pm/config.d/config containing:


<span style="color:#323232;">HOOK_BLACKLIST="wireless"
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SUSPEND_MODULES=”NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE”
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SUSPEND_MODULES=”wl”
</span>

With systemd try this

create a file /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/fix-wifi.sh containing (fuck this editor, replace the “##” with “&&”) :


<span style="color:#323232;">#!/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[ "$1" = "post" ] ## exec /usr/sbin/modprobe NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">[ "$1" = "pre" ] ## exec /usr/sbin/modprobe -r NAME_OF_YOUR_WIFI_MODULE
</span><span style="color:#323232;">exit 0
</span>

and make it executable with chmod 755 /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/fix-wifi.sh

Frederic,

you have to replace the ## with &&

the name should be iwlwifi

Frederic,

well, are you sure the script is executed? I don’t know systemd enough :-(

First, do a test in command line modprobe -r iwlwifi

then suspend your laptop, resume it after a few seconds then do

modprobe iwlwifi

and see if wifi is working

Frederic,

yes of course

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi

Frederic,

In Quebec our hospitals are at 150-200% for years, maybe 20 years. It’s certainly the worst case in canada…

I’ve been on a waiting list for a family doctor for 8 years now.

Frederic,

It’s happening for years, 10+ for sure, in Québec squirrels are eating the plastic around the cable. Some Costco light strings were very appreciated years ago by them. I thought it was a well known event?!?

Frederic,

Why use flatpak?

Frederic, (edited )

After using ext4 for yyyeeeaaaarrrrrsss, when I upgraded my MX21 to MX23 I used btrfs, with subvolumes, especially for easy backup/snapshot/timeshift.

Just at install, super easy, create a small ext4 boot partition on the SSD, then a big LUKS partition, format with btrfs, create subvolumes for / /home /var /swap and that’s it. No hassle with sizing correctly.

btrfs seems pretty stable. I see no diff in performance compared to ext4 because my application are not that dependant to FS speed, and with SSD anyway?

oh yeah, built-in compression too!

Does `cp -v` print out the file name when it starts copying it or when it's done?

So if I had a cp -v operation fail, is the last file name it printed out the last successful file copy, or is it the failed partially copied file? If you had to ensure all files are copied correctly without overwriting anything, would deleting the last filename that was printed from the destination folder delete the partially...

Frederic,

I think the one being currently copied? take a look at github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/…/cp.c :)

Frederic,

Partout pareil, et les travailleurs aux salaires minimum qui bossent au centre ville ne peuvent pas se payer quoi que ce soit là et sont obligé d’habiter super loin, c’est idiot

Frederic,

oui, mais en général ceux aux salaires minimum, ou les serveurs/cuisiniers/vendeurs de boutique/etc du centre-ville ce sont eux les lesés.

Frederic,

De même, je sais que pas mal de Français ont une mentalité arriérée, mais quand même…

Frederic,

But why the obsession with iMessage and apple product?!? We don’t care about the colour of the bubble!!!

Frederic,

But why the obsession with iMessage and apple product?!? Cannot every people at least send a SMS to others and that’s it? We don’t care about the colour of the bubble!!!

Frederic,

yes, we need E2E encryption, at least

Frederic,

Yeah, I’m using Google RCS Message too, let’s hope Apple will integrate all the RCS features too

Frederic,

En France peut-être, mais ici, Radio-Canada ?

Frederic,

I always completely rip my info on the box when I return a package, you should always do it.

Frederic,

I bring my amazon items to UPS or Purolator as-is, they scan a QR code I have on my cell phone for the return, they take care of boxing it and everything, I get my refund 1h after scanning. I don’t know if they print a separate label for each items or put it in a crate for return? But yeah… they might print a label and stick it on the item?

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop? (kbin.social)

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

Frederic,

yeah MX21 32bits is what I would install, or AntiX.

Can’t you boot on a USB key and reset the root password on your HD partition?

Frederic,

AntiX is awesome on old HW, everything works, just don’t load a big website in the browser or it crawls :)

Frederic,

ouais mais là tu sais, il y a le bon chasseur et le mauvais chasseur… 😜 😆

Frederic,

Same, I’m from Montréal and the Reddit community for Montreal/Quebec is horrible. Sorry but they are full of leftist woke students and downvote or ban anyone who dare say that e.g. healthcare system is bad or education is bad or any truth about QC. I’ve been on Reddit for 13 or 14 years and about never posted or read those subs.

Frederic,

It was ironic, but it looks like it works to trigger people here

Frederic,

I worked in broadcasting (programming broadcasting applications), everything is done with PTP (Precise Time Protocol) and TC (timecode) in video. We had to support leap second, it’s not as easy, but in the end, insert black frames for 1s and that’s it.

Frederic,

2038 will certainly be a shit show

Frederic,

Haha yes, no problem with those 😁

Frederic,

oh I though it was for a HW keyboard

Frederic,

On ne dit pas que la moitié de la population est stupide? 😆

Frederic,

I remember pretty well using TurboPascal 3.0 on my Amstrad CPC6128, Z80 and 128K RAM, and CPM+

Frederic, (edited )

If Windows, use BitLocker.

If Linux, use LUKS but you need to enter the passphrase at boot, you can securely put the key in TPM2 I think (à la Windows) but it may be complicated to setup, or just seal the phrase in TPM2 but if you boot on grub you can break grub and replace init with a shell in boot option and have access to the system I think :-/ but a simple crackhead thief would not understand that.

You can also have the key on a USB key, but if on the server and the server get stolen, it’s useless. You can setup a “anywhereUSB” and have your USB key in another room/place, etc, there is others possibilities.

I wanted to unlock with bluetooth but having the bluetooth HW driver and stack in initramfs was nightmarish a little bit :-/

Vehicle thieves taking up arms, police chief warns (ottawacitizen.com)

More than 1,200 vehicles have been stolen in Ottawa this year, a 16 per cent jump from the year before, with new model SUVs and light trucks the most popular targets. New model Toyota Rav4 , Honda CRV, Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford F-Series trucks are especially popular, along with any vehicle with a push-button starter....

Frederic,

Place your keys in a “faraday box” at home, first step. Have a kill switch on a wire to the fuel pump/ECU/whatever hidden under your dash, second step.

Frederic,

Lacey Chabert 😊 Candace Cameron 😊

Frederic,

I still have my Nexus 7 (2013), installed lineage on it. The tablet is used for Netflix, Disney, some games, etc

Frederic,

You are lucky, in QC where I am it’s one of the worst waiting time. And now nurses and others are in unlimited strike (with teachers, etc)

Frederic,

Fucking cereal box, the family size is $10.99, wtf?!?

When they are $5.49 on amazon I buy a dozen

Frederic,

I have an account on a site where your email is your username for logging. When I changed my email address for a new one, I had to keep the username being the old email address, it doesn’t make sense…

Frederic, (edited )

Good luck if you can, on some new motherboards you cannot disable S0x in the BIOS and cannot enable S3 as it does not exist anymore.

You can only use this “S0 idle” which is like your cellphone sleeping, meaning everything runs and/or is somewhat disabled in background. Instead of the BIOS disabling things, it’s the OS and the applications and drivers that have to take steps to go sleeping but it’s way from perfect and takes power anyway.

Problem is with laptop. A laptop in S3 (suspend to RAM) can last a few days, a laptop in S0 idle will last a few hours.

Frederic,

If it does not support anymore S3 mode, yes 😕

Frederic,

No, if your motherboard/BIOS/ACPI/CPU does not support S3, linux will not magically implement it. This has nothing to do with Windows.

Frederic,

Using un*x since the 90s, this is all I know. I like awk but it can go fucking complicated, I once maintain a 5000 lines script that was parsing csv to generate JavaScript…

Frederic,

The lady in red, she’s dancing with me :)

Frederic,

ah tabarnak…

Full text: bin Laden's 'letter to America' (deleted in The Guardian because of TikTok) (web.archive.org)

I just found out that Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” has been doing its rounds on TikTok but I haven’t seen anything about it been posted here on Lemmy about it. Perhaps people already know about it, I’m not sure. This is a link to the wayback machine. The original in the guardian has just been deleted after...

Frederic,

Bush was Palpatine

Osama was Obi-wan

Right?
