What host names do you use? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

The printer's name is Marvin, from HHGTTG.

It never wants to work and always complains.

"Homeless" is a lie in c/enoughmuskspam@lemmy.world
[–] piranhaphish@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago (13 children)

Cathy?

I see that you're not interested in actual discourse and instead are just looking to be petty.

So I'll assume you're also not arguing in good faith either, so I'll just add some downvotes and move on.

So we shouldn't house them unless and until we figure out all of the complex issues? They're not going to benefit any at all, or have any possibility of getting on their feet, until we have a perfect solution?

That's what's being said there: homelessness is not something we should do anything about, because of reasons. So let's do nothing.

That's a fucking cop out.

Even if that is true, does it somehow invalidate the fact that they are also homeless?! Are they less deserving to be out of the elements because they have an addiction?

That's what I find so disgusting about this statement. It's just an excuse and doesn't address anything at all.

Using his own "argument", it would seem to me that a path to less addiction and violence would involve having a place to live and sleep.

FRAMEWORK 16: an almost perfect Linux laptop in c/linux@programming.dev
[–] piranhaphish@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't know if this was true at some point, but this is definitely a false statement today.

I have a Framework 16 w/o dGPU and it is perfect. It has long battery life, awesome performance, and has no thermal issues at all. Then there's all the features which I don't think I need to get into here. But I will call out support for lvfs/fwupdmgr; it's great and in line with what I have seen with Dell and Lenovo.

This is my forever laptop

Unable to initiate WPS in c/openwrt@lemmy.world
[–] piranhaphish@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I figured it out. The issue was that the SSID cannot be hidden.

I didn't realize that it was required to be visible as not a single reference I found stated that it needed to be. While it isn't immediately intuitive as to why it would need to be visible, I suppose it makes sense as I believe the client is using the ESSID to associate rather than the BSSID, thus needs to be seen by the client.

I now get a response of "OK". Now I'll go actually try to connect the device and then disable WPS afterward.

Unable to initiate WPS (lemmy.world)
 

I have read the documentation and googled extensively but, when I try to initiate WPS, I always receive a response of "FAIL". Nobody else seems to have this issue, so what am I doing wrong?

I only want to enable this temporarily as it is the only way I know to connect a doorbell camera that I obtained for free and need to "hack".

> uci show wireless | grep wps
wireless.wifinet6.wps_pushbutton='1'

> hostapd_cli wps_pbc
Selected interface 'phy1-ap3'
FAIL

I have tried on both a Turris Omnia (OpenWRT 23.05.3) and TP-Link Archer C7 (OpenWRT 23.05.2). On each, and per the instructions, I installed hostapd-utils and replaced the stock wpad-basic-mbedtls with the full-featured version (I tried both wpad and wpad-mbedtls).

I have 4 WLANs on each radio. I tried configuring the single WLAN of interest with the option wps_pushbutton '1' as well as setting it on all WLANs on that radio (per a suggestion I found), but same result.

I've tried adding other wps_… options, rebooting, and everything in between, but same result. I don't see anything relevant in the syslog, and can't find a way to increase verbosity for hostapd. I've even looked at the source code for hostapd_cli which didn't really help.

Any thoughts?

Plex is overhauling its apps with a redesign and under-the-hood upgrades in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] piranhaphish@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I just checked again and you're right! The app seems to now be available for older versions of WebOS whereas it wasn't a year ago or so.

Thanks for the heads up!

Jellyfin didn't have an app for my then 3-year old LG WebOS TV so, unfortunately, I couldn't use it.

I know people are going to say I should just use a smart box connected to my TV instead of my TV's smart features, but there's a difference in usability that they're not acknowledging.

What is the (subjectively) weirdest word in the English language? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

"Sphere"

That pronunciation ... like WTF ... did word inventors just figure we had totally exhausted the sound combinations that we could splice together?!

Response to sneezing in c/wikipedia@lemmy.world

If somebody sneezes more than twice, I will typically berate them for seeking attention.

I invested way more time in designing this then I should have, but the original was brittle and breaking and I didn't want this slice of early Internet to disappear into a landfill.

Gov. Abbott signs bill eliminating mandatory vehicle inspections in Texas (www.kxan.com)
 

I can't imagine this being a good thing. A past article quoted somebody as basically saying people would be trusted to use their best judgment to keep their vehicles in a safe operating condition.

This doesn't even help low-income folks because the fee isn't going away, the name is just changing.
