Hi, I'm sbird! I like programming and am interested in Astrophysics and all things space. I also have a hobby of photography.

  • Wait, I wonder if it's because I'm using Howdy facial login? Since the wiki states that fingerprint doesn't work to auto unlock the wallet, maybe Howdy can't either?

  • It looks like it's just login for Nextcloud, but since Nextcloud autostarts, the wallet needs to be unlocked on startup.

  • I have tried adding the lines to /etc/pam.d/sddm as instructed, but after a restart, it still asks for the password to unlock the wallet.

  • What do you think is a realistic peaceful solution to the China-Taiwan issue?

    Jump

  • That's fair enough. Internet people can be truly horrible. No harm done!

  • What do you think is a realistic peaceful solution to the China-Taiwan issue?

    Jump

  • That sounds like a surefire way for Taiwan to get invaded, since I'm very certain that China does not want more nuclear missiles pointed at it, much less by Taiwan right off its coast. Taiwan might end up like Iran (who the U.S. claimed were developing nukes)

    If Taiwan does end up developing nukes without the knowledge of China or other major powers, then you could argue that nuclear deterrance would work. But the intelligence systems of all the global powers is incredibly advanced now, so it would probably be difficult for Taiwan to covertly do something like that (esp given that we know both sides send spies to each other)

  • I mean the whole deporting populations to somewhere they've never been kind of crime against humanity.

  • What do you think is a realistic peaceful solution to the China-Taiwan issue?

    Jump

  • I don't think I said anything about the brainwashing of Chinese people, nor did I romanticise British Hong Kong. I used to live in Hong Kong (post-British) and everything seemed alright, food was good and people were good. I did mention that Taiwan was a result of the KMT fleeing after the civil war, and fair enough, it only remained due to the U.S. fleet being in the waters, and having missiles pointed at you at all times is not nice at all.

    edit: It was not directed at me, rather at the comments (in that case I can see how you feel)

  • I recently watched a BobbyBrocolli video on it, the controversy mostly surrounded UofU, a quick search shows that Pons and Fleischman are from UofU. The video also mentioned that BYU also claimed to discover cold fusion, but not the energy of the future self sustaining kind.

  • Google's Pixel 10a arrives on March 5 for $499 with specs and design of yesteryear

    Jump

  • I'm not saying there are no reasons to get a used Pixel over an A series (less e-waste, better cameras, etc) but there are certainly reasons why people like the A series

  • Google's Pixel 10a arrives on March 5 for $499 with specs and design of yesteryear

    Jump

  • Aside from the longer support of the newer device, there are a few other reasons why some might prefer the A series over the "flagship" series of Pixels.

    For one, they have a plastic back rather than easily crackable glass that, although feels nice and is scratch resistant, isn't fun when you eventually drop the phone (plus, it also means more fun colours!)

    Another thing, Pixel A series phones have smaller camera bumps, with recent ones (9A and now 10A) having none at all, which is pretty nice I think. It does mean lower quality camera hardware and no telephoto. (but some people might not care so much about cameras, e.g. if you bring a small dedicated camera around)

    The Pixel A series also have smaller displays, and until recently there wasn't a smaller version of the Pro. (and that only came with the 9 series) You don't get a better processor by buying a used "flagship" Pixel over a new A series since you would just get the same or worse chipset.

  • What Lemmy/Piefed communities are YOUR personal favourites?

    Jump

  • I enjoy the Linux programming.dev community since they have been very helpful to answer any questions I have :D

  • Does anyone have a good suggestion for a markdown note organiser?

    Jump

  • Oh, I thought Joplin obfuscated notes? Nice that you are able to use Syncthing. The main draw of Quillpad is probably the UI and how it can fit my phone's theme (Joplin's UI is still quite intuitive though)

  • A few questions on MPD and RMPC

    Jump

  • When I first switched to Linux, I needed to find a suitable alternative to AIMP on Windows.

    At the time I was running Fedora Workstation, so I first tried options that fit the GNOME desktop. The libadwaita apps I tried (G4Music, Amberol, etc) all suffered similar issues to do with shuffle, where it wasn't able to just go to a random track, instead ordering all the tracks randomly once and having a fixed queue. Amberol in particular had bad shuffling, only randomising all the tracks below the one currently playing (so the ones above are unchanged, which is stupid I think). I ended up using Tauon, which had a workable shuffle but admittedly less nice UI. I also remember that Tauon was not very configurable.

    Next, I switched to KDE Plasma, so I ended up using Elisa, which fit the KDE desktop, had nicer UI than Tauon, but suffered from the same shuffle issue as the libadwaita apps, so I had to occasionally reshuffle the music to get consistently random tracks.

    Having recently switched to EndeavourOS and really getting into the weeds of command line stuff, I decided to try using MPD and the client RMPC (suggested by Bread on Penguins). For god knows what reason, it's the only option that has proper good shuffle that's just randomly going to each track (besides Tauon and, on Windows, AIMP), and it is easily the most customisable. RMPC has excellent documentation making changing the configs super easy!
