@fazalmajid @neil oooh their N100 (8”) is the class of device I’m looking at. Hadn’t heard of them before. Thanks!
@neil I’m on a quest for something a bit like this; the closest I’ve seen in modern stuff is a 7” GPT Pocket clone or something styled similarly. Not a phone though
@mirabilos @harrysintonen this is a pretty widespread behaviour in existing tooling: systemctl and bin/su suffer it as well. It wasn’t thought worthy of a CVE for those. I’m actually surprised OG sudo doesn’t
A wayland bug I keep meaning to debug more but haven’t got around to it: on Debian trixie, with KDE and wayland, it crashes as soon as I press any keyboard key.
@purpleidea @miek @federicomena no expert here either :-) Either way, just checked my /bin/su and it does it too
@purpleidea @federicomena @miek in front of a computer now. Just checked: it's systemd. If you kill the process before submitting the typed password:
$ systemctl daemon-reload
==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.reload-daemon ====
Authentication is required to reload the systemd state.
Authenticating as: Jonathan Dowland,,, (jon)
Password: Terminated
$ the password I wrote but did not submit is echoed here
@purpleidea @miek @federicomena I’ve seen that exact same bug somewhere before… either original sudo or systemd. From what I recall it isn’t considered fixable and wasn’t issued a CVE.
@jwildeboer @_elena I picked mine up about 10 years ago. Mildly modified (sd card storage, rockbox open source software, and recently a replacement battery). Feels really good to be away from the incessant upselling of the Internet
A few months ago I was bemoaning the inablity of my 4k@60 display (LG 27UD58) to do 4k@60 on its HDMI inputs.
Today, quite by accident, it IS doing 4k@60 on one of the inputs.
No idea why, or how, but I'd like to repeat the trick!
@DukeDuke @jwildeboer I love those flasks. Have you ever had to replace the gasket in the lid?
@jwildeboer I drink a lot of tea. 20 cups a day. I’m considering going decaf or at least better understanding whether or how I’m relying on caffeine to regulate myself
re: password manager PSA (keepassxc)
@argv_minus_one @hazelnot I quite like the global/shared menu bar approach that macOS uses, and I think KDE still supports. A bit of the best of both worlds: distinct without costing vertical real estate per window
I've been building a tiny lego set for a couple of years, I know that's weird, but I just finished it on Wednesday. This little fish tank: http://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/fish-tank-31122.
Finally I'm done! And then, this was announced: https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/tropical-aquarium-10366
@babe small gods was the one that tipped me over into convincing my dad to read them (and he’s very glad I did)
