In Canada it’s tap to pay for ~8 years now, never saw a QR code to pay. However when I go in USA, every stores is tap to pay, except one, there’s one store in USA where there is no tap, it’s Walmart, inconcevable.

BeOS was so cool end 90s early 2000 !!!

We can’t go anymore, first, tickets are expensive, like starting at $200-300 in Canada. Then the minute they go on sale, they are all sold to scalpers who resell them $2000 on kijiji. Madonna tickets reached $6000.

So I stopped caring about live concerts.

I have bought hundreds of stuff on AE, it’s ok, especially for stuff that are less than $10 that local sellers sell for like $40 for the exact same thing. I got some items in less than a week in Caanda.

yeah, it’s a feature required by CCP

Superb, really!

TotalCommander.

I was using Norton Commander in DOS in the 90s, then WindowsCommander in Windows 3, which was renamed TotalCommander. Using this for maybe 35 years. I don’t know how to use Windows gui to copy/paste or explore multiple folders etc.

I absolutely hate it for medias like music or movies. Back in the time, you had your CD and DVD/BD in physical format. Now there’s music you about cannot buy to own. Same for old movies, you cannot find them physically, only rent them on youtube for instance.

Remember goatse.cx ?

On mine it was playing with some /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-4/power/wakeup or something, (use the right device number from lsusb), also there is some settings in the BIOS to power or not USB when sleeping, obviously if some USB port have no power, wakeup cannot work :) Every setup/BIOS is kinda different though.

And I have had the same problem as OP with just knocking the desk and the computer wakes up and it is annoying!

My latest trackball I switched it to Bluetooth mode so when PC is sleeping, no BT at all.

Understandable, gov can say “I will buy 100 planes at $750M each”, but it costs you $1B each, so you say no thanks

Yes, this is why you should use DNS over TLS. My router signal to every DHCP client that it is the DNS resolver, and internally use DoT/dnssec to query IPs. It also intercepts every request on DNS port in case of some DNS are hard-coded on some devices.

Reboot your router/DHCP server

Ubuntu is Debian anyway. Why not installing MX (based on Debian too) with XFCE, it is the best experience I have had.

I come from good old LFS from the 90s and for me, a distro is just a kernel with some GNU utils, a window manager, and a way to get packages (which is about the only diff between “distro”)

nice one :)

I’m also using a trackball, it was Logitech ones and now a Sanwa Gravi

This, EDID dummy plug, $2 on aliexpress

tcsh also! I used it a lot uhhhh last century

And all this because Docker needed libschmu.1.2.3.2 and unfortunately you have only libschmu.1.2.3.1

and to be sure, install all this on a VM image that you’ll run in QEMU
