z00s,

Absolutely. I just recently got roasted for posting a guide to updating the BIOS on certain laptops in the Linux forums.

Was expecting a small number of comments, maybe a couple of questions or “thanks”; nope.

“OP IS RETARDED THATS NOT HOW YOU DO IT!!!” Neckbeards gonna neck.

z00s,

Why are you not allowed to vote?

z00s,

Do you have curtains on your house? Why, if you have nothing to hide?

z00s,

So you open them at night?

z00s,

…I’m now wondering if they change clothes in front of an open window

z00s,

Not every model of laptop is supported by this method. If your model isn’t on lvfs, this method should work

z00s,

Yea, definitely check lvfs first

z00s,

This file format consists of a BIOS executable file. The Universal (Windows/MS DOS) format can be used to install from any Windows or MS DOS environment.

z00s,

Kolanak with the MVP solution

z00s,

Some regular ones also had a unlock code if you called the manufacturer and complained

z00s,

Realistically nobody’s coming after you for that unless you do it on an industrial scale for profit

z00s,

What job do you have if you don’t mind me asking

z00s,

Driving a truck. I enjoy driving and have fantasies about having a job without the complex social/emotional component that mine does. But in reality I think I’d be bored.

z00s,

Turns out Lemmy is pretty wholesome according to this thread :P

Why do many microwave ovens hum in an interval of a minor 7th?

Something that I’ve noticed across most of the microwave ovens that I’ve used is that when they hum while cooking food, I can pick out 2 distinct tones. One of them is pretty clearly 60 120 hz, the 2nd harmonic of the AC power frequency. The other is consistently a minor 7th above that (which would be somewhere around...

z00s,

Why do microwaves hum

Because they don’t know the words, obviously

z00s,

It’s kinda cool but not sure why they thought creating a new set of pictograms that aren’t used on Earth was the best method

z00s,

Even if her husband was OK with it, she still should have told you she was married. The fact that she didn’t would be enough to make me end it. I mean, if they have an open marriage, why avoid mentioning it?

z00s,

Not today, CIA.

z00s,

Because if you look into it deep enough it will tell your fortune.

I can’t in good conscience keep that to myself.

z00s,

But what if it winks at me?

z00s,

1996 wants its hot take back

z00s,

You need to change your username; you’re not debatable, you can’t even write a coherent sentence.

Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA game titles.

z00s,

It’s not Linux’s fault you’re retarded.

z00s,

Lol you do

z00s,

People will call you what you act like.

So you’re gonna pretend you didnt reply to my other comment where I mentioned that Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA titles so you can play the victim now?

Being too ignorant to figure out how to set up Minecraft and giving up after 2 minutes doesn’t back up ypur shit talking about Linux.

z00s,

Oh dear, your usual trash talk didn’t go your way this time, did it?

z00s,
z00s,

Yes, totally agree on the Irishman. I’ve tried watching twice and given up waiting for the third act to begin.

There’s so much in there that’s just not relevant or interesting. Go and write novels instead, Scorcese.

z00s,

Dead. I have cancer, and it’s not the first time.

AMA

z00s, (edited )

You were so desperate to make a shit joke that you forgot to notice the full stop. Congrats, retard.

z00s,

It is surprising how much PTSD he has for someone who’s just supposed to fix the ship

z00s,

Chriatmas itself is great, its the obnoxious music and decorations that go up mid October that I hate

z00s,

My dude, I gave up alcohol 12 years ago and I can feel your question in my bones.

The only responses I’ve found that don’t cause minimize follow-up bullshit are:

“Oh I’m taking antobiotics at the moment and the doc said I can’t drink while I’m on them.”

and

“Sorry, I’m designated driver tonight! I know, it’s so annoying but I promised my gf/friends…”

Anyone you see frequently enough to know these are white lies should be cool with you not drinking/getting high anyway.

Yes, it’s bullshit that you have to lie but I’ve found that telling the truth just leads to drunk/high idiots pestering you and basically not accepting any explanation. Using the white lies above shifts the blame onto someone else, and then people just seem to accept it.

And if your friends don’t respect that you want to stay sober, then you can probably do without them in your life.

z00s,

Thank you for your service

z00s,

If you’ve got Hollywood money and you’re not out of the closet, you wouldn’t be doing that in public, not even in SE Asia. He’d get mobbed. The boys would be visiting his hotel room / rented villa.

z00s,

“Do you take this woman as your wife?”

“Ye–”

“Shut up, sniff Wesley”

z00s,

Do it. You owe nothing to corporations.

The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?

Wait, what?

Think about it. At some point everyone has had an old phone lying around. They are designed to be constantly connected, constantly on... and even have a battery and potentially still a SIM card to survive power outages.

We just need to make it easy to create APK packaged servers that can avoid battery-optimization kills and automatically configure an outbound tunnel like ngrok, zerotrust, etc...

The goal: hosting services like , , !? should be as easy as installing an APK and leaving an old phone connected to a spare charger / outlet.

It would be tempting to have an optimized ROM, but if self-hosting is meant to become more commonplace, installing an APK should be all that's needed. can do SSH, VPN and other tunnels without the need for root, so there should be no problem in using tunnels to publicly expose a phone/server in a secure manner.

In regards to the suitability of home-grade broadband, I believe that it should not be a huge problem at least in Europe where home connections are most often unmetered: "At the end of June 2021, 70.2% of EU homes were passed by either FTTP or cable DOCSIS
3.1 networks, i.e. those technologies currently capable of supporting gigabit speeds."

Source: https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/broadband-coverage-europe-2021

PS. syncthing actually already has an APK and is easy to use. Although I had to sort out some battery optimization stuff, it's a good example of what should become much more commonplace.

z00s,

Counterpoint: spicy pillows

I was going to host pihole on an old android until I noticed it getting quite warm while continuously connected to power. Realised I didn’t know the lifespan of the battery and didn’t want it tp start a fire.

Has HP printers always been this bad? (sh.itjust.works)

So my mother recently bought an ET-2800, By HP we had an HP printer before and we got a new one because the old one would not work with my sister’s Windows 11 Laptop. So I had to set it up for my mother, the manual said you can use it without the app. But there was no way to physically do that. Anyway, I downloaded the app on...

z00s,

Brother? You might want to give it another try

z00s,

For once, Morn is speechless

z00s,

Well you can buy a car but the gov’t will still make you drive on the correct side of the road.

z00s,

Pff in Australia I can travel over 2000km in a straight line and never leave my state, and it’s not even the biggest.
