It’s the wiki hosted under the same domain that you signed up for on lemmy: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/

It’s linked to in the sidebar for this community since it has lots of resources for piracy. The sidebar of this community also has a link to the genp community.

I mean you’re not wrong it’s true to a degree, but especially in my parents case, they hardly store anything on the computer so the disk usage hardly registers on the pros and cons. If it provides convenience then it’s whatever. They’re still on an obsolete elementaryos but flatpak is still keeping them up to date until I can get around to visiting them again. If I understand how it works on debianland once a major version goes EOL, they’d be using backports which might not have the latest version right?

I did this for my parents, context: borderline elderly, late 60s, use their laptops for checking email, reading articles, and watching youtube. I visit every year or so and usually end up doing a little maintenance.

Probably my main tips are:

• Don’t pick elementary like I did years ago, I learned there’s no upgrade path between major versions and that’s been a pain
• I’ve found it helpful to install as much as possible as flatpak, since that decouples app updates from system updates
• Set up some form of remote access, I’ve used teamviewer but in hindsight it would be nice to have WG to SSH in
• If I were doing it again today, I would probably use a universal blue spin for the atomic updates
• With my parents’ level of computer experience, as long as there’s a firefox icon in the dock then they’re right at home

Honestly there isn’t much to it, especially if they’re not tech savvy and aren’t doing anything complex. All you have to do is make sure familiar app icons are where they expect and that they know how to use the window decorations / DE. My only pain has been having to do a bunch of updates when I visit, so next time I’ll swap them to fedora and set up automatic atomic updates. Besides that, everything keeps chugging along because they’re not making any changes to the system when I’m not there.

Lots of pirated programs will get reuploaded to other places with viruses added, which is why programs and games can be one of the more risky things to pirate. That said, if you use the links in the download directory section of the db0 wiki genp guide (the one labeled latest updated version), then you should be safe. That wiki is run by the same person who runs the instance you signed up on as well as this community.

Of course, if you don’t absolutely need Photoshop then it’s infinitely less risky and less complicated to just use gimp or krita.

If you actually need Photoshop’s features and can’t use gimp or krita, then genp is the way to go. If you just search genp you’ll find the dbzer0 wiki page which has all the information. I used it to get substance painter because I needed to open files made by other people.

Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.

Idk worrying about a lab leak type pathogen scenario through an ebay sale seems far fetched to me. I picked one that looked lightly used and clean and wiped it down with disinfectant when I got it. The chance of a pathogen surviving that long doesn’t sound like a realistic concern. Most things it plausibly would have been exposed to, save for like highly radioactive dust getting lodged in its crevices, is easily handled with basic sanitation and hand washing. And it’s not like I’m putting food on the surface anyways.

Also second hand lab equipment. I was tired of my kitchen scale breaking and having annoying features like auto off after like 60 seconds. Got an ohaus lab scale off eBay for like $50, handles 18lbs, has a configuration menu with tons of options and features like count mode, sequential weight summing, and lets you set auto off for up to 30 minutes or completely disable auto off. Takes regular AAs or plugs into an outlet. I love it and it’s built like a tank.

If it still boots from the internal disk then you may just need to set the boot priority to prefer your external drive. That’ll be mobo specific unfortunately so I can’t give any tips. I’ve had systems set up to boot from external media when plugged in so it should work.

Back in the day there was also an issue with running full windows installs from USB drives where you needed to prevent it from reinitializing USB devices during bootup since that would interfere with itself, but I’m not seeing anything recent about that so hopefully that’s not an issue anymore.

I don’t think you need to involve Linux at all if you boot the official windows installer. I would just install the SSD as the only drive internally and install to it, then put it back in its enclosure.

Supposedly comaps has carplay support as of like 2 months ago, according to a page on their website

I use slskd connected to a VPN and it works great. I just run a gluetun container and then attach the slskd container to it with network mode service, same as you would connect transmission to gluetun.

It’ll be hit or miss. If it’s ripped from the same source then it should be fine, but different editions, TV edits, scenes that are cut in some versions or additional title cards at the beginning will mess it up so you’d need to QC it.

When it takes a while for the do not unplug, it’s usually because it’s just still writing data. The loading bar you see is actually writing to a cache. If you run sync after copying the data, you’ll probably find that it finishes at the same time that it says it’s safe to unplug. The easy solution is to just get faster / nicer USB drives - check reviews for benchmarks if you can find them.

Wait when did they find the weapon?? Last I heard they didn’t have the weapon and the 2 people they arrested were the wrong guy. So it sounds like the shooter didn’t leave the gun behind, so I would expect them to only get the weapon if they got the shooter unless I missed something between yesterday and today.

Edit: Found the update that I missed from the FBI this morning, they apparently found the weapon in a “wooded area”, so shooter still unknown

Yeah just like that one in the shredder frame that shredded it as soon as it was sold - the removal could be seen as an unwitting part of the performance art.

Some music players do this, I think jellyfin uses replaygain. I remember seeing a setting to normalize across all tracks or normalize per album (to preserve some tracks being louder than other tracks of an album while still lowering as a whole entire albums that are louder than others)

The official proprietary Nvidia drivers are just a regular Linux package I’m 99% sure, I have it installed on my laptop and it doesn’t involve a gui app at all.
