Calibre is an ebook library manager with a reader built-in. Koreader is purely reader software, and it works particularly well on touch and eink screens.

Why hew so closely to the “immutable paradigm” as if it’s a rule? I have a few packages layered on my system to achieve results that flatpak + toolbox cannot. Never had a problem with updates.

The difference is small and pedantic:

“Once” means “A single time”

“Nonce” means “Used a single time”

Nonce carries extra information that something is being used.

Wikipedia claims this term dates to middle English:

Nonce is a word dating back to Middle English for something only used once or temporarily (often with the construction “for the nonce”). It descends from the construction “then anes” (“the one [purpose]”).

Nonce is used extensively in the context of cryptography to mean “used exactly one time”. Usually this refers to a random number that a server shares with a client to establish secure communications.

Red Sonja (1985)

I like that it’s a definitely-not-Conan movie with a bit more humor. Maybe people don’t like the kid actor, but I thought that Prince Tarn and Falcon added a lot without being overbearing. It could rate even higher for me if they’d gotten Basil Poledouris to do the soundtrack.

Cool World (1992)

Things really start to fall apart in the third act once Holli transports to the real world and from a technical side, Who Frame Roger Rabbit beats it by miles. However, the idea of Cool World, a mix of childish and sleazy animated characters all living in the same universe, is compelling. Bakshi’s animation style really brings it alive.

Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install?

Yes. Just double-check every part of the install process so you don’t write to the wrong device.

Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?

Probably yes (depends on the options you pick during the install process). The external drive will get its own boot partition with appropriate EFI files. Then to boot from it, you would select the external drive in your UEFI.

I use rEFInd as my EFI bootloader: It lets me chain load other boot options (external drives) without touching my motherboard UEFI settings. I leave it installed to my main boot partition, but it scans for other bootable partitions at startup. Then it auto-populates a selector list of my main install, or whatever other external devices are plugged in. It can chain load GRUB, other EFI bootloaders, Windows, etc from these devices, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility with whatever bootloader the OS expects to use.

You said you don’t want the page to load. Do you even care if the browser opens?

What about overriding the default browser application that the terminal tries to use? Maybe there’s some env variable to override the xdg browser default, and you could point it to a script that exits instantly.

I agree with the person who suggested linking to Wikipedia articles.

For example, it’s not much help to learn that PCIe stands for Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, because nobody calls it that. As an outsider, now I’m wondering what a component interconnect is. It’s much more useful to link to a page that gives context about how PCIe is actually used.

Very true. I believe FPGAs are also popular for aerospace applications, since it’s cheaper to design and patch programmable hardware than to design and physically install ASICs.

There’s always decksight: https://www.crowdsupply.com/shade-technik/decksight

Vivado is software for designing hardware on an FPGA. AMD bought out Xilinx, one of the big FPGA manufacturers, a few years back. FPGAs are basically programmable digital circuits: you configure a series of internal logic gates to represent the function of a circuit with memory, data busses, registers, gates, etc. In this fashion, an FPGA could be programmed to function like a CPU, a radio, a video encoder, or nearly any other piece of digital hardware. Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.

The thing with FPGA software is that there are no open source alternatives. FPGAs have so many complicated blobs and signing keys and proprietary IP blocks that your only choice is to use the manufacturer’s offering.

Based on your systemd output, it looks like the system is taking a long while to decrypt your drive. Is it a spinning disk, or an SSD?

I’m not sure if the PC repair shop specifically checked your drive, but it might be worth swapping out for another. Or maybe run some speed tests and/or diagnostics to see if there’s something funky going on.

You could also try an unencrypted install to see if the problem persists.

I set up a very straightforward Godot dev environment yesterday using toolbox which is built on top of rootless Podman.

• Create a new fedora toolbox
• Enter toolbox
• Install DotNet dependencies, git, etc with dnf
• Install Godot binary from release page
• Turns out there were other dependencies I needed
• Godot wanted a few Wayland libs on the container, so I installed Weston (maybe overkill)
• Godot wanted libxrandr so I added that too
• Godot just works ™

The nice thing about toolbox is that it uses my native host Wayland compositor. So whatever I have running in the toolbox can be interacted normally through sway (my host WM).

You can either distribute a container image with your given toolbox configured, or just document the setup steps.

You can host docker volumes over NFS, but the actual container images need to exist on a filesystem that supports overlay (which NFS does not) unless you want things to be slow as shit. And I really do mean miserably slow. A container image shared over NFS will take forever to spin up because it has to duplicate the entire container filesystem instead of using overlays, and then it’ll blow up your disk usage by copying all these files around instead of overlaying them. It’s truly unusable.

From that same discussion thread:

We plan on supporting any token/nft/coin for tipping, awards, curating, less captchas, etc. Each subplebbit owner should be able to create their own tokens or nfts to monetize their effort and incentivize their users to participate. Avatars will also be curated NFTs.

The protocol does not use blockchain for data, but the web service itself looks like it would use crypto and NFT to manage aspects of user identity, spam prevention, and monetary incentive.

Eh, maybe. Back during feudalism, emancipation of serfs was also considered theft from the nobles who owned the land (and thus the serfs who worked it).

Sometimes governments implemented programs to reimburse the nobles for losing “their” serfs, and sometimes not. Now that we’re a couple centuries removed from that drama, we generally accept that the destruction of feudalism was a good thing, regardless of whether it was theft.

There used to be a similar bug in the Roku jellyfin app.

If you can recreate the subtitle issue using test file 5 from this repo, it might be worth submitting a bug report. https://github.com/ietf-wg-cellar/matroska-test-files

I once had a directory in /tmp called etc which contained subdirectories for something I was migrating.

I thought that I was in /tmp when I ran rm -rf etc… I was actually in /

Look up the GPU on these charts to find out what codecs it will support: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

NVENC support will tell you what codecs your GPU can generate for client devices, and NVDEC support determines the codecs your GPU can read.

Then compare it with the list of codecs that your Intel can handle natively.

If you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker’s data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory

You copy /var/lib/docker to a new location and update /etc/docker/daemon.json

I will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn’t going to work well. I’ve tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn’t present, so your services will duplicate the container’s entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a “physical” disk.

I’ve had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It’s just the data-root where it’ll fail.
