Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good

What a wall of sound. I've never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Yes, I'd considered that too. Alas, not the case

Thanks. I'll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you've suggest too. But at this point it's looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.

Debian KDE - login broken after trying to fix volume keys (lemmy.nz)
 

(initially posted on /r/KDE but stoked to see there's a community here!)

I have a fairly new Debian KDE install - I've been tweaking and fixing things for the past week quite happily.

Was trying to fix the volume keys not working this evening. Logged into TTY2 and ran showkey --scancodes and showkey --keycodes per a forum post in an attempt to diagnose and fix. When I hit ctrl+alt+F7 to get back to my session, it was back at the login screen, as if I'd typed my password (ie dots entered for password and greyed out as if I'd then hit enter)

And there it stayed.

Reboot brings me to login, type password (fingerprint reader no longer registers) and there it hangs again.

I can log in just fine through the console (incidentally, the fingerprint reader works just fine there). startx will then happily run a gui from there with full access to my files. I've also created a new user via console and I can log in graphically just fine via that one too.

But my main user login remains stubbornly broken. Any ideas on what's happened?

Portishead - Roads (Live From The Roseland Ballroom, New York, USA / 24 July 1997) in c/[email protected]

Doesn't get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

Have an old NUC... (lemmy.nz)
 

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that's I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see.

Obviously I need hard drive space to go with this. Is a USB enclosure, directly attached, going to be fast enough? Or do I need to go to a NAS of some kind? Alternatively, my router has a USB connection for a HDD - would that be better?

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Thanks for that - wasn't aware of this and looks good

Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.

Christchurch - parking for Apollo Projects Stadium? (lemmy.nz)

Being the country kid I am, I've only just thought about parking for [edit] tonight's Foo Fighters concert in Christchurch. Of course, nothing available at the venue itself now. Yeah, only myself to blame there...

So, next best option for parking? I assume the nearby Tower Junction shopping centre are wise to people parking there and police the crap out of it?

Help me People of Christchurch, you're my only hope!

Adblock DNS + Stuff.co.nz (lemmy.nz)
 

I have my DNS on my phone set to dns.adguard-dns.com - seems to work fine for most websites, blocking ads where appropriate. Not so stuff.co.nz. Just seems to hang at their stupid 'scrolling S' loading screen. Any ideas?

Darktable 4.6 Open-Source RAW Image Editor Released, Here's What's New in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I'm striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn't respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn't aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must've tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can't get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn't click for me and I can't get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I'd rather not...

I got to play with a Hololens a bit when my brother brought one home from work. Astonishing tech.
