pazzia alberghifera e si rimane a marcire (fuori dalla stanza non potendo entrare)
Non l’ho detto appena è successo, perché la solita scaramanzia è sempre d’obbligo, e quindi ho piuttosto aspettato di tornare a casa… e poi però mi seccai, quindi eccomi solo il giorno ancora dopo a raccontare il momento (assolutamente per nulla!) epico successomi in albergo, per fortuna solo una (1) volta e solo l’ultima sera, e non troppo tardi… menomale… (Magari può interessare alla 1 persona che mi legge che lavora in hotel, chissà.) 💣Praticamente, tornavo in camera dopo che avevamo passato la prima parte della giornata fuori… e la porta non si apriva appoggiando la scheda. Ho provato per 2 minuti buoni a passarla in qualsiasi posizione sul lettore, ma ops, niente. Andando a chiedere in reception, quindi, si scopre l’assurdo: era zompato tutto!!! Cioè, se ho ben capito (o loro hanno ben spiegato), per un attimo gli risultava come sparito il mio profilo o qualcosa del genere (non ho ben capito, non ho idea di che robo ci giri su quei computer), poi pare di no, ma comunque in tutto ciò la scheda (una di quelle bianche classiche… con il numero della camera appiccicato con lo scotch, lol) comunque non ne voleva sapere di funzionare. (Spacc.) 💩
L’hanno riscritta un paio di volte e provata, ma niente. Quindi mi hanno dato temporaneamente un’altra tessera, che tenevano a giro… e poi un quarto d’ora dopo mi hanno ridato credo la stessa, e funzionava. Quindi mi chiedo cosa sia successo in quel lungo ma breve frangente di tempo… l’avranno completamente brasata e riflashata? Si sarà smagnetizzata o schifezze varie, pur stando giusto nel mio zaino, dove NON ho bombe ESD o atomiche? E chi lo sa… mi hanno detto che non era la prima volta che una stranezza simile succedeva in albergo, ma che era comunque alquanto rara (e ovviamente, stando io in una stanza diversa da quella dei miei genitori, quindi impattando solo me, i potery forty dovevano necessariamente farmela succedere). 🧭
La cosa veramente strana, però, è che i problemi non erano finiti qui! Con la scheda in sé in realtà si — e ripeto, menomale, soprattutto perché in questo hotel per qualche motivo non c’era neanche il turno continuato dei dipendenti, quindi non voglio nemmeno immaginare che bordello sarebbe stato dover rientrare alle 11 di sera ma avere la porta che non subisce la magia di apertura!!! — ma praticamente, proprio nel mezzo di questo casino con la tessera, era uscito pure un glitch con il condizionatore, o una merdata del genere. Lo avevo spento, con il tastino a muro, come avevo fatto le altre sere… e poi però non si accendeva più. Ho premuto tutti i tasti e modificato in ogni modo le classiche opzioni per nulla chiare… e non si smuoveva. Normalmente poi, togliendo la scheda dal muro per fare come per uscire, quindi aspettando un minutino, si accendeva comunque da solo per tenere la stanza a temperatura… e stavolta no. Prima che la stanza si riscaldasse davvero troppo, che in 10 minuti già stavo sudando, chiedo un’altra volta al tizio… e, magicamente, dal suo computer lo vedeva spento, nonostante io avessi poi premuto il tasto per farlo andare (ed è concettualmente assurdo ‘sto fatto che dal computer suo veda il condizionatore mio, quando il mio computer a casa mia non sa nemmeno che in camera mia c’è un condizionatore, ma lasciamo stare). Ha “riacceso” anche quello, in questo caso subito, ma a quel punto l’affaraccio non ho avuto il coraggio di toccarlo minimamente, e l’ho spento solo quando mi sono messa a fare lo suripu (durante il quale, per fortuna al contrario, è rimasto spento). 😨
L’hotel dei pazzi insomma, mamma mia!!! Anche se, comunque, non mi posso lamentare, perché la mia camera era comunque crazy (cioè, meglio di quella dei miei genitori)… e in questo tecnicamente lo staff ha mostrato la giusta riverenza, dando automaticamente a me la stanza top e ai miei quella più zzz, con la consegna delle chiavi al check-in, senza aver fatto domande. Purtroppo, gli spiriti malevoli mi seguono ovunque io vada, e portano come sempre le cose più strane a succedere ai miei danni; non è colpa degli umani, in questo caso. 🤥

Should we switch the default privacy community from !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com to !privacy@programming.dev ?
Hello everyone,
I raised the point recently already, but to make it short
- there is an active poster on !privacy@programming.dev
- !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is mostly me and @cm0002@lemmy.world
- I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other
I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)
Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable
What do people think?
Not an active poster, but when I do post in privacy community it's !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com simply because programming.dev is loose with defederation. While I don't agree with certain instances political ideology something like privacy communities reach being limited because of it makes no sense.
I'll echo what others have said though that this will get resolved with multi-community support which was funded by NLnet grant. While consolidating now might seem like a good idea to help community growth, I think it's more damaging longer term than waiting for technical solution.

PSA: Newpipe è un ottimo client peertibr
Ho sempre trovato scomodo e macchinoso seguire canali peerda mastodont, soprattutto perché i client mastodon non visualizzano i video, bisigna usare un browser.
Ho scoperto che Newpipe visualizza i video peertube e supporta l'iscrizione ai canali, con notifica opzionale per le nuove pubblicazioni.
Solo dopo ho trovato l'articolo di le alternative.
Immagino che il mio problema iniziale si risolverebbe con peertube redirect che mi consentirebbe di aprire i video peertube da mastodon su Newpipe, ma per ora mi trovo bene così

Question - Seedbox Copyright Notice - Remove Files too?
Is it enough to stop sharing a movie in response to a copyright complaint given to a seedbox or does the file have to be deleted as well? I removed the movie from the bittorent client, and the seedbox automated system says I'm compliant, but does the movie file also have to be deleted as well?
Edit: For further clarification, the seedbox explicitly states that the file has to be removed as well. But their automated system says I'm compliant by removing the torrent from the p2p client?

As someone already answered your question, i'm more interested in your seedbox choice. Isn't your case (DMCAs) exactly why people get a seedbox to avoid these copyright infringement from your ISP?
Am I missing something here? I have never had a seedbox so I probably do, or this seems rather a bad seedbox in a bad country I guess?
Sorry for my ignorance if that's the case, but it's the first time I hear about a seedbox that states about copyright complains.
like this
Most seedbox providers offer data center choices in the US, Asia and Europe.
OP is likely using public trackers without a VPN so a US based location is not ideal. The seedbox provider receives and forwards any copyright notices to you, and your ISP is still unaware that you have received a copyright notice.
Ohh, soo a combination of public tracker & no-vpn with a seedbox, makes sense ! I was kinda suprised & intrigued to read this kind of info on Lemmy while I never read something similar on any private tracker i'm on. (I'm not alone seeing the numbers of upvotes)
Thanks for the clarification and sorry for my minimal though process 😅

Fedora 42 / KDE - What is the difference between "dnf upgrade" and Discover "system upgrade"
I usually update through dnf but sometimes Discover says there is a "system upgrade" with however many packages that are pending upgrade, but no details provided. It requires a restart after completing.
What is the difference between the two?
Picture of what I'm talking about
Discovers talks to PackageKit, a project that attempts to abstract packaging concepts. So rather than Discover supporting dnf, apt, pacman, etc, it talks to PackageKit and that handles the lower level stuff.
But PackageKit is not perfect. It’s better to use dnf directly and use the flag for offline upgrades (for more reliable upgrades).

Linux Mint - Can't get Dolphin to work properly with network files
Hey all! The primary issue is in the title - Dolphin doesn't play nice w/ files on my home server. I'm able to view, copy, move, or delete them just fine via SMB, but Dolphin acts as if there is no associated software for any file type. Nemo works without issue, but I prefer Dolphin's customization and feature set.
Any idea what could be wrong? I'm a big Linux newb, so I'm still figuring this all out.
like this
install KIO packages if tou do t have them
dolphin needs these for network shares to behave like local files:
sudo apt install kio-fuse kio-extras ffmpegthumbs
then log out and log back in (or restart)
dolphin should mount network paths under
/run/user/your-uid/kio-fuse-somerandomshit
check it
if the path starts with /run/user/… you’re good. If it’s something like smb://, it’s not using fuse
gpt explainstion for education
What’s going on:
Your server has files.
Dolphin can look at them, but it’s not actually pulling them down to your computer in a normal folder.
Because the files aren’t really on your computer, other programs can’t just “open” them — they don’t know how to talk to the server like Dolphin does.
How it should work:
If you use FUSE (with kio-fuse), Dolphin secretly makes a fake local folder that pretends the server’s files are on your computer.
Now, when you double-click a file, your computer thinks it’s opening a local file — so any app can work with it.
Why Nemo works but Dolphin doesn’t
Nemo automatically mounts network folders in that “pretend local folder” way.
Dolphin can do it too, but only if kio-fuse is installed and working.
Without it, Dolphin is basically just showing you a picture of the files instead of giving them to your apps.
The fix:
Install the thing (kio-fuse) that makes the fake local folder.
Restart your session so Dolphin uses it.
Now Dolphin acts like Nemo — server files will just work everywhere.

Does that mean everyone will move to tor or I2P?

Why does Asia seem to have a monopoly on chip design and production?
Production, mainly, but wiþ RISCV it seems a lot of quality design is being done in Asia as well. Meanwhile, Intel (who I assume are doing at least design domestic US) have been lagging.
So, is Asia leading design innovations, or is þat a misperception? And why does Asia dominate chip production? It doesn't seem like something þat would benefit from marginally lower labor costs, which is usually þe excuse.

A Plea From Gaza: You’re My Only Hope
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/5783600
My name is Soliman — a young man and student from Gaza, carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life, I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times.We once had a small farm — olive and citrus trees, and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops, but dreams.
That farm was our only source of income, and more than that, it was a place full of memories, of hope, and of the laughter that once made life a little easier.But in a single moment, everything was gone.
A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes.
We lost our source of living, our stability — and with it, a part of our souls.Now, despite the pain, I’m trying to start over. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing, to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength, dignity, and sense of humanity.
I share these words with honesty and hope, hoping they reach a kind heart — someone who can help, or even simply share my story with others who might be able to.
If you’re able to support us in any way, here is the link to our GoFundMe campaign:

Every share, every kind word, every small donation could be a lifeline for us.From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

Ok, I need to scream into the void. I have questions.
I made the switch! Well mostly, my main PC that I use for work (audio, music, etc) is still Windows for now while I figure out if I can do what I need with Linux. 3 days ago I threw Mint on my old laptop (which I don't use much for testing as it's still slow, even with Linux) and wanted to use my main laptop to test for switching my PC. Unfortunately it's a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra, which apparently has issues with Linux hardware-wise. I got everything up and running (except for the webcam which was expected) and found Ubuntu Studio, which seems to basically be Ubuntu with auto-install of a suite of audio and video programs, and a low latency kernel (whatever that means. I'll get there to figure it out eventually).
I've learned a LOT. Pulling in Windows vst files through Wine and yabridge was a journey. Every time I fixed an issue and took a step forward, I encountered a new one haha. But, I got it working. I LOVED figuring out the problems, even if I wanted to pull my hair out. The terminal is...really neat.
Anyway it's important to me to try and learn the how/why as I go so here's my question. Librewolf. It installs via terminal, and I'm having issues on Ubuntu Studio. I tried it on Mint and it installed fine. Ubuntu studio however throws up this error: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 76F1A20FF987672F
I tried sudo apt-get install -f (which I think looks for missing dependencies and stuff?) but no go. Since both distros are Debian, I'm guessing the biggest difference between Mint and Ubuntu Studio is the kernel? I've been able to fix things with missing dependencies but I'm guessing the public key is something different?
ELI5, why does it work on Mint and not Ubuntu Studio?
Edit: Got it thanks to u/frongt I added the key and it's all good!
Execute the following commands in terminal
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys
where is your missing public key for repository, e.g. 8BAF9A6F.
Then update

Quando seguite questi cantanti su messanger si può stabilire un contatto col cantante ed io l’ho fatto.

Chiaramente non poteva essere ed ho iniziato ad insospettirmi fino a quando il mio sguardo è caduto sul numero di telefono di Marco.

EU has CLOUD act analogue too
Hi everyone. Probably not everyone knows but EU has CLOUD Act analogue too - it has a name "e-evidence - cross border access". so this is a description of framework from the official site - "create a European Production Order: this will allow a judicial authority in one Member State to obtain electronic evidence (such as emails, text or messages in apps, as well as information to identify a perpetrator as a first step) directly from a service provider or its legal representative in another Member State, which will be obliged to respond within 10 days, and within 8 hours in cases of emergency (compared to up to 120 days for the existing European Investigation Order or an average of 10 months for a Mutual Legal Assistance procedure);"
basically it means that the national authorities of the country where companies are registered no longer has juducial control over law protection of their companies - so for example if extreme right government of Poland will be dissappointed with your post on Mastodon about Pegasus surveillance used by them against political journalists by new Framework they will issue juicial order to obtain your mastodon account details, ip, email etc and will electronically request your mastodon provider (which reside for example in Belgium) to give this data to them withis 8 hours or 10 days (without possibility to make appelation) basically overriding national courts of country of registration of the provider.
Do you believe that EU goverment respect right to privacy and national souvereginity as a fundamental right?

While on dread recently I stumbled across this old post regarding issues with their onion adresses encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-fact…
When a user makes a new account with Protonmail on TOR they are re-directed from Protonmail’s “.onion” to “.com” address. This breaks your secure encrypted connection to their onion address, enabling your identification. There are absolutely no technical reasons for this feature. In fact, the only other websites that operate like this are suspected NSA/CIA Honeypots.

La pupilla di Van Gogh
Mary Rood “la pupilla di Van Gogh”
La pupilla di Van Gogh è un romance dallo sfondo storico e romanzato che immerge il lettore nel passato e nell’amore.
La protagonista di questo libro si fingerà un uomo per poter raggiungere i suoi sogni: diventare una pittrice.
La vita per le donne dell’Ottocento non era semplice, siamo nella metà del secolo e iniziano le prime silenziose rivendicazioni femminili che dovranno come sappiamo bene attendere un altro secolo perché prendano fuoco e si accendano in tutta Europa e America.
Eppure, Marie la nostra piccola ma sagace e forte protagonista lotta contro il destino dell’essere donna! Sotta una fascia strettissima nasconde il suo seno, mette calzoni, maglietta da uomo e un cappello sotto cui nasconde i suoi splendidi capelli.
Un affascinante storia alla scoperta di un mondo fatto di sogni e colori perché Marie riuscirà ad entrare nella cerchia di pittori vicino a Vincent Van Gogh e, quando lui scoprirà chi è, ne rimarrà soddisfatto e affascinato.
Sarà l’amore a completare la vita di Marie un amore mai preso in considerazione.
La meraviglia
Marie cresciuta senza padre perché morto, aveva imparato a fare i conti senza la sua presenza, ma uno strano incontro e una rivelazione inseguito la porteranno a dubitare sulla vera morte del padre. Forse egli è ancora vivo?
Un romance che non parla solo d’amore ma anche al cuore del lettore una scrittura piacevole, pulita e ben definita quella di Mary Rood che conquista tutti coloro che la leggono.
Una storia che sa far piangere ed emozionare.

Real estate agents say new seller disclosure laws are 'bottlenecking' Queensland's property market
In short:Real estate agents say new seller disclosure laws are "bottlenecking" property sales due to lengthy turnaround times on required documentation.
The laws allow buyers to get their entire deposit back, and even claim compensation, if the vendor fails to offer up vital information.
Antonia Mercorella from the Real Estate Institute of Queensland says the laws have created "nervousness" about last-second contract cancellations.
