Any networking horror stories from apartments that provided internet? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] TheOSINTguy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some of these complexes are 40+ apartments and defenetitly have sketchy setups. I did do speed tests while I was there since reliable Internet is necessary for my job. Most came back with sub par results but and Ethernet connection to the access point yielded around 240 down 200 up.

My main fear is the terms of condition of using the network... Some of these places use deep packet inspection and while I'm not worried myself due to already being privacy oriented it's others on the network I'm worried about.

Any networking horror stories from apartments that provided internet? (sh.itjust.works)
 

As a little background to the question, I'm moving from where I live because cost of living is way too high. I have found a few apartments that are within my budget but they all have "complementary WiFi". Is there anything I should be aware of?

Unable to flash usb to balena etcher (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello all, I'm trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I'm refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error's

[23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GtkFileChooserNative' to 'GtkWidget' [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: ../gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance '0x37b801188b20' has no handler with id '5761' [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

I would like to note I'm flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).

Thank you in advance!

Unable to transmit VHF (144.390) on uv-5r. (sh.itjust.works)

Hello y'all, I recently got a cheap uv-5r off of Amazon so I could use APRS in a off the grid location, however I'm encountering a large set of problems with the radio.

First off all, I already tried the 3 finger unlock, doesn't work. Second off, I can program channels into it with chirp, but the radio will only beep if you press ptt. Only channels 1-30 will transmit, however if you change any of it in chirp it seems to revert back to gmrs.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hello guys & gals, I recently distro hopped to fedora and I'm having problems getting the NVIDIA driver to properly work. I get a error when booting that says "Nvidia kernal module missing - falling back to noveau" I've tried the following;

I should note this is a laptop and my GPU is a 1660Ti and I can toggle the iGPU from the bios.

what are your recommendations for a good privacy friendly sms app? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?
