Background on the Case

The DOJ first sued EZ Lynk in 2021, accusing the Cayman Islands-based company of violating the Clean Air Act by marketing and selling “defeat devices.”
These tools allegedly allow users to bypass factory emissions controls on diesel vehicles, primarily through the EZ Lynk Auto Agent app paired with an onboard diagnostic (OBD) hardware dongle.

From scrolling through the proposal comments it sounds like the proposals focus on NVidia/CUDA is the main thing to cause the angry comments when there are open source options to choose instead. That and the plagiarism from the AI models.

Because the iPhone has their own spyware to prove you’re a product user.

You can run Suricata on pfsense too

According to https://android.gadgethacks.com/news/chrome-weightsbin-file-what-the-4gb-ai-download-is-and-how-to-delete-it/ the machine needs 4GB of GPU VRAM among other requirements for Chrome to actually download the model.
My work laptop doesn’t have this so it seems I’ve blocked something that wasn’t gonna happen anyways.
Chrome has now successfully updated to the version 148.0.7778.97 that would’ve given me the weights.bin if I was running eligible hardware.

edit: apparently I was wrong. My intel igpu counts my system ram as vram. I can’t see that I’ve downloaded the weights.bin though.

Found this older thread on the fedora forums
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/hp-printer-stopped-printing/87174/72

If your friend has no other printer then it might be worthwhile to remove the printer if it exists, then remove ipp-usb and hplip, reboot and finally reinstall the hplip packages from dnf again.
sudo dnf remove ipp-usb
sudo dnf remove hplip
reboot
sudo dnf install hplip hplip-gui

Personally I haven’t had the displeasure of touching a hp printer in a long time so my tip is based on the thread not experience.

For Windows 11 the folder to look for is %localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\
On my work laptop that folder didn’t exist yet so for fun I created the folder and removed all permissions for everyone to it.
Not sure what’s gonna happen if Google Chrome wants to push the weights.bin file when the ntfs permissions deny it.

Vegetarians nowadays eat eggs, vegans wear leather and self-hosters do it on someone else’s computer.
I’m old and grumpy and will stick to calling the modern vegetarians lacto-ovo-vegetarians, tell the modern vegans that veganism is a lifestyle not a diet and insist that a VPS on Hetzner is hosted by Hetzner, even if you have to manage and maintain the VM.

Not that my tiny customers have enough of an IT budget to buy their own servers with the recent price hike on memory and ssds.

I wasn’t, no. Seems like it can be useful but I’m probably gonna keep using notepad instead of risking having sensitive data saved in the clipboard history. :)

The notepad++ update infrastructure is secure now, yeah. Not that I ever did the in app updates tbh.

I went to Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases and turned Notepad off so I can start the old one with win+r “notepad”.
I only use it as a clipboard, my .txt, .log and .csv are all bound to open with notepad++.

After user outrage Fedora settled on opt-in telemetry instead of opt-out. So unless you actively choose to send telemetry you’re not gonna do it with Fedora.

I still got my Nova7 Pre-Branch .apk saved on my NAS. I really should try to find a replacement but so far it works as expected.

When I wanted my current server to be available for more experimental loads I decided I needed a new machine and at that time all hdds had gone up in price, but a package of ds225+ with 2x16TB had not yet been price increased so I got the NAS “for free”.
I would’ve repurposed an old gaming machine otherwise.
Worth looking for those kind of “deals” where someone has forgotten to increase a bundle price.

I imagine going through a “setup your own mail server guide” such as https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/setup-basic-postfix-mail-sever-ubuntu will give you the basics or at least enough to allow you to ask the correct questions to get the answers you want.

It has short explanations of what the different DNS records do (A, MX, PTR, etc) and such woven into the guide.

Latest Lenovo T series come with LPCAMM2 which should replace that soldered nightmare.

Are you looking for a gaming laptop with a dedicated gpu or just a newer one with a faster cpu/igpu?

Ah, I should’ve clarified - my notes are all over the place as "README"s or "INSTALL GUIDE"s in different folders together with the files needed to do the install in question. :)
