Re:SSH -X fails if IPv6 is disabled on Thursday November 30, 2023 @11:39AM (#38475601)
I just ran into this issue after recently disabling IPv6 on my machines, a fix is to add "AddressFamily inet" to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and reload the ssh service.

Been doing it since 1999 and the things they mentioned are the main things to do, works great.
I used Bard after trying unsuccessfully to decipher the wikipedia page and Bard says, according to IEEE 754, nan < nan should return false (0); while nan > nan should return false (0)

I've never used ansible but the article makes me want to consider trying it on my self hosted stuff. I wish I had that article years and years ago, the inclusion of how to configure virtual accounts for email is especially useful to anyone starting out.

Near the end:

"In order to deliver email to other mail providers without being marked as spam, I ideally needed to implement all three policy frameworks with the mail server."

Then a few lines later:

"Inbound and outbound message delivery was working."

Meanwhile on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/186g3ak/ownclou...

What are the odds, a positive article relating to Nextcloud posted on HN the same day a negative article is posted about Owncloud on Reddit.

It's important to note there are misrepresentations in the Wikipedia article:

"Can I remove the extensions button from the toolbar or customize its location?

It is not possible to remove the extensions button from the toolbar. This is by design."

Ask HN: Whatever happened to setting Firefox to use Yahoo?

In 2014 there was this article: https://fossbytes.com/yahoo-replacing-google-become-default-search-engine-firefox/I remember when Firefox used to show Yahoo as a search engine choice in settings. Today it's missing. It appears one can search for one of several addons and hope to get one properly supported by Yahoo. [Edited to be nice.]

Thank you for asking the question, it may one day have relevance for me.
Way above my head but less of whatever isoleucine is doesn't sound advisable:

https://aminoacidsguide.com/Ile.html

"Isoleucine participates in hemoglobin synthesis, as well as in the regulation of blood sugar and energy levels. Studies revealed that this amino acid has a very low toxicity at pharmatological levels up to 8% of solution concentration in rats."

"As a matter of fact, the three amino acids (Isoleucine, Leucine, and Valine) constitute nearly 70% of all the amino acids in the body's proteins. That is why their value in human body is so high."

The whole docker/container craze was supposed to fix "works for me".
We lived here in 2011, I don't recall any major issues with power that we experienced or what was reported on in any news broadcast. The only thing about weather I remember for 2011 was the excessively hot summer.
Like these cases?

Follow the instructions here, works for me: https://gist.github.com/lmmx/0550cfc8867eb1eea04076ec69c95a5...

Although cups has a hardwired dependency on libsnapd-glib1 so you can't remove that library, but the nosnap.pref file will prevent snapd from ever being installed again.

This is chillingly scary and one reason why I use Linux desktop.

If it's based on Arch (insane rolling release crap idea) then I won't be using it.
> It's almost self defeating. Seems like developing games for linux is harder.

Except that the parent's point is refuted by the OP's article (that brought us all here to discuss):

"Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux."

> And the platform has the highest percentage of players who run into platform-specific issues

Except that in the case of the OP's posted article, their Linux bugs were few:

"Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux."

Re:Write libraries instead of services, where possible on Thursday November 23, 2023 @11:32AM (#38394518)
No actually, it tries to be a kitchen sink and is the opposite of the UNIX concept of pipelines with small purpose built utilities.

I deleted my LinkedIn account when it started becoming more like Facebook (nothing against FB, Wide likes it) but FB isn't for me.

Also, I removed my public open source projects from GitHub after Microsoft bought them then removed them from GitLab too when the AI warnings about stealing copyrighted code started to sound more real.

As a former Submarine sailor, Rickover, destroyed the best part of the spirit of the service with his tyrannical control.
PopOS isn't from Canonical. Use Ubuntu or Kubuntu for a wonderful Linux Desktop experience. It's only worked for me since 2006.
Without reading your link yet, I don't understand why is it difficult to understand when I say all my devices on all the Dell (and Alienware), HP and Lenovo PC's I've bought the past two decades just work on Linux.
Even as a gamer, I prefer to use cheap monitors, wasted too much money on expensive ones in my younger days only to see them break after a few years then the money is gone. I can afford better, I'm just cheap. I imagine I will start using a better monitor in coming years and if I see issues, I'll definitely honestly report them and discuss them. Another thing to think about, more pixels means more electricity used to keep them lit and more electricity to shove images around on the screen for the GPU, higher electricity bill, more carbon in the atmosphere.

I wonder how many HiDPI users also complain about global warming in other forums.
