  • Nice! Pretty sure cfdisk also can create a new partitioning scheme but I don’t know how right now

  • Block size? I’ve never seen that message before and I don’t think it’s relevant here. It should redetect the partitions to what they actually are though, but I assume it doesn’t for you.

    Also, are you sure you want MBR on that disk instead of GPT? (At least, I think that’s what “Label: dos” means)

  • Pretty much only games that were made pre-permission restrictions on Program Files because they try to write to the install folder. I think that was added around XP/Vista. Anything remotely recent shouldn't have this problem (especially if it's the default install directory).

    (The error code 0xc0000096 (Privileged instruction) also doesn't indicate this at all but hey, there's been weirder cases of errors caused by completely unrelated seeming conditions.)

  • VMs can’t ever do that on any OS. I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation.

  • That’s not what this is about at all.

    With the latest Android 16 beta, you can now allocate as much storage as you want to the Linux Terminal

    until recently, it was restricted to just 16GB of storage space

  • Looks like my teeth necklace dream might become a reality without having to resort to questionable means.

    (Seriously though, this is great!)

  • Posts incel tier meme and gets instantly defensive when called out in the comments. Classic

  • Element/Matrix does calls and screen share also by the way!

    (Teamspeak can do screen share? That’s news to me!)

  • If you want quick and dirty, use steam-run!

  • Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.

    Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?

  • It really doesn't hurt to know a bit of the IPA, at least the characters for your own language… I see so many horrible phonetic "transcription" "systems" people use when describing how to pronounce a word, it's crazy

  • Since you mentioned Chinese, there's also an interesting thing in languages that have Chinese characters as their writing system origin and use names based on it (Chinese languages of course, Japanese, Korean and I think also Vietnamese) where names of historical or important people are translated via their written form and not their pronunciation. For example, the Japanese prime minister Ishiba Shigeru 石破茂 is called 石破茂 (shí pò mào) in Mandarin, written with the same characters. (Been a while since I read about this so I forgot the examples where the name is pronounced significantly different and in all of these languages but this is a good enough example)

  • When I'm dead I will haunt every cop who goes after anyone owning or selling my bones forever btw

  • Ah okay, so you know some behind the scenes info or at least more than just this. My bad, but tbh you should have lead with that because initially I thought you completely misread what the text was saying because I pretty clearly read the queer mentions as “this is not just transphobic attacks by bigots” (see my other comment). Sorry!

  • There isn’t really, you can probably use sendmail as well. Postfix is just the MTA I’m used to and know can do all of this.

    From what I’ve heard about sendmail’s config file, I personally wouldn’t want to use it specifically though…

  • Yeah, this should work (assuming by email client you mean MTA).

    Alternatively, you can set up Postfix to deliver mail over SSH to another MTA by defining a new service in master.cf that calls sendmail on the destination server. This postfix could run in a container as well or on the host, whatever is reachable.

    Old NixOS configuration for that here, see the default_transport and masterConfig parts: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/modules/sys2x/mail/relay.nix?h=ssh-mail

    Alternatively, if you don't have another mail server somewhere that you want to relay to, the simplest option is probably to just have Postfix deliver into a local mailbox and access that over IMAP (the imaps port should not be blocked, right? You can use a non-standard port though). Turn off non-local delivery though.

  • Meshtastic node with a GPS radio perhaps. They’re not that expensive and work off the grid. Might need a bit of manual assembly depending on what you get but nothing too difficult.

  • I assume you’re talking about the iOS feature, which is pretty new, and they have their own photo selector UI which has existed before that. They probably just didn’t make it work well with limited access yet, Signal has a lot of small UX warts in general when it comes to system integration.
