baru,

Sometimes the different USB ports are backed by different manufacturers. Pretty much all of my USB outputs are a bit unreliable. Apparently a hardware issue. There are two that use a different chipset. Those are the only reliable ones.

So maybe check the various USB ports to see if there’s a difference.

The judge said it could be appealed. I’m surprised the judge went this far though. It’s a lot about nothing. Seems like either the judge has it out for her, or yet another assistance to delay things.

In this case the upstream maintainer heavily obfuscated the code to be able to compromise ssh. Package maintainers aren’t responsible for vetting for that.

Powertop does way more for power usage than just the CPU.

The revamped Republican Party turns Trump’s lies into a loyalty test (www.washingtonpost.com)

By checking for fealty to the false “stolen” narrative at the outset, Trump’s allies aren’t simply weeding out people who disagree, they’re weeding out people who won’t acquiesce to the Trumpian approach to reality. They’re not just getting rid of people who won’t go along on this one subject; they’re getting...

That’s why they’re also trying to manipulate the voting. E.g. making it really difficult to vote, or suddenly removing loads of people.

I’m pretty damn confident that this was a ship problem

That’s so simplistic. Please look into the Swiss cheese model. Things shouldn’t break when just one thing goes wrong. There’s a load of things that could’ve mitigated things.

E.g. better protection for the bridge (was decided it wasn’t worth it), could’ve required that tugs assist until big vessels are safely away from the bridge, maybe could’ve influenced the design of these vessels, etc.

Saying it was a ship problem, nah, it’s a multiple of causes. Or worded differently, there’s loads of things to address possible fires in e.g. building and so on. Because just relying on everything always working perfectly is not realistic.

baru,

Purposely incompetent.

baru,

It was reported before that it’s not about what is being sold. It’s a way to avoid certain limits on donations. A person or company might not be able to donate as much as they want. But they can buy loads of products. And it doesn’t matter how terrible they are. Ideally they’re so terrible that nobody buys except as a donation. To save on costs of distribution, customer service, etc.

Trump Might Be Too Broke for a $175 Million Bond, Too (newrepublic.com)

A New York appeals court on Monday reduced the $454 million that former President Donald Trump was required to put up while he appeals his civil fraud case. Now Trump must put up, by April 4, a mere $175 million. The trouble is, he may not get a bond for that amount, either. Should that happen, this act of judicial mercy will...

baru,

Remember, the court has a monitor watching the trump org approving every check and money transfer right now.

The way you wrote that suggests something different than what the monitor does.

For one, they monitor after the fact. Likely one a month and after book close. So they don’t monitor in detail while it is happening. Secondly, transfers above a certain amount need to be reported. That amount can be an aggregate. Those need to be reported and I think the monitor needs to ok them before they can be executed.

That’s quite different from what you seemed to suggest, meaning that the monitor needs to approve every check.

baru,

Then that man owes you a favour, or at least you are on his good side.

Trump often doesn’t abide by anything. Doesn’t pay contractors for example. Just takes, doesn’t give. Loads of lawyers did favours for Trump, loads of those lawyers cannot practice anymore. It doesn’t sound like a good idea to me to hope that Trump might return a favour.

baru,

It was changed recently. The monitor has to be told ahead of time now.

But only in some cases, not for everything. If a monitor would need to approve everything that would require quite a lot of people. A business often has quite a lot of regular invoices and so on.

baru,

Not relying on the network during a build is pretty common while making an rpm package. It’s a pretty reasonable requirement to have. I’d suggest looking into what e.g. the equivalent Fedora package does.

baru,

So crime shouldn’t be acted upon because someone else did it as well? That’s your argument? I’m guessing you’re joking?

baru,

With Sync you can filter in various ways. E.g. you can filter posts by a keyword such as “Trump”. I assume something similar can be done in another client. I know not all support filtering, though do not recall which do aside from Sync.

baru,

So Trump is arguing that Biden should be allowed to assassinate him?

Obviously not as that would conflict with: rules for thee but not for me

baru,

They’re quoting Adam Leitman Bailey, a great real estate lawyer. His Wikipedia page is interesting, he was involved in some controversies, resulting in him not being allowed to do his work for 4 months.

In the article he comments about the Trump case. Which I find odd as lawyers usually stick to what they know.

A bit of an odd person that they’re quoting.

baru,

Maybe check journalctl for warning and/or error messages? Might be a bug that needs reporting/fixing.

This week in KDE: Plasma bug fixes and UI improvements (pointieststick.com)

The bug-fixing continued this week with the aim of getting Plasma 6.0.3 into a great state. Already the big bugs you folks found have almost all been fixed, and this week a lot of time was spent on some X11 regressions and various crashes that our new automatic crash reporting system was able to find (thanks for submitting...

baru,

There’s a huge difference in something used by 100s or 1000s of people. Once something is used significantly more it’ll result in bugs that nobody ever noticed before.

Further, the best way to keep things stable is regular timed releases. You seem to be advocating for releasing irregularly. Projects used to do that in the past. Regular releases result in way more stable software.

baru,

Agreed, Trump lies. Often he’s still quoted and people expect that maybe something is true. With the 90 million (or so) bond he also said the amount should be lowered and that he had trouble. That was days after securing the bond. The deadline hasn’t passed yet. For the upcoming bond Trump lied by omission. The judge fortunately took action as a result. Better to see what happens.

It’s good that various preparations are being made to seize assets. Still, too early to know what is going up happen.

Or it’s a form of money laundering. Meaning, the people buying are totally ok with it not being worth much at all. It’s just a way to buy Trump.

They successfully delayed things without saying their intention was to delay things like Ukraine aid.

baru,

Chubb put up the appeals bond for his defamation trial.

There’s an article which explains that the financial document says it’ll take months for that bond to be valid and it has various ways to get out of the “bond”. Meaning, they were trying to get the judge to sign off on a bond which wasn’t a bond.

The obvious thing to do would be sending a water sample to a lab and get it tested for lead

In Netherlands you can send in water to test for lead at www.loodinwatertesten.nl

Fucking ridiculous.

Predictable

That’s specific to X11. It also wasn’t always enabled for security reasons (breaking out of a locked screen). Now with Wayland there’s no standard.

Then he couldn’t have made empty promises to do it “soon”

Flatpaks aren’t meant for command line utilities.

The clock likely is off by an hour because of local time vs UTC difference. Where the BIOS is set to UTC.

No idea other than some ideas to maybe debug this.

Maybe monitor process executions and see what is going on? Either using the auditing subsystem, secopsmonkey.com/monitoring-process-execution-wit… of BFP perhaps. I saw a look of BFP but not sure if it is a good result: medium.com/…/ebpf-tutorial-by-example-7-capturing…
