Extant information is safer than just uploading an id (which is what the laws want). No one needs to know your birthdate or identity if your account is 18 years old. No one needs to know your birthdate or identity if you have a cc on file (you gotta be an adult to have a credit card and therefore to have credit card on file).
This is the best possible solution, where there isn’t a requirement to upload a scan of a government issued id.
Yes they do what they say on the tin. You get fewer spearphishing attempts and stuff like that.
You don’t get fewer targeted ads. You are less likely to end up in private databases that law enforcement makes use of when they don’t want to or aren’t allowed to run you through the official systems.
If all you care about is the specter of big tech and ads then it’s not gonna make you happy. If you’re trying to spend less time figuring out if something is a legit email or a scam, or you want there to be less of a chance for cops to id you in a third party db then you may see some real benefits.
If you follow the git instructions linked in another thread, make sure to slowly move through major version numbers. You most likely will not be able to jump straight to 25 and will need to step through major versions to figure out what changed and how to fix it.
Once you can make sure newer packages will work with the nonstandard gpu you’ll have some chance of doing htpc stuff.
Idk your background but this seems like a good time for a car metaphor:
“I just got this passenger side rear door to a 2006 Tahoe for super cheap and I want to make use of it so it doesn’t go to waste. The Chevy forums have some information on what models of the same year might mount it and what three letter codes correspond to the options on my door but nothing useful about mounting it to newer models. How can I make use of this thing?”
The Jetson boards are development kits intended for prototyping iot and edge ai devices. You could use your jetson board to prototype or even implement an edge AI device. Machine vision is a phenomenal way to use these smaller thingies like the old coral tpu.
Dev kits are often shipped with limited support and intended to provide the bare minimum to prove to an engineer that a particular chip or platform will work to some application. The rest is left up to the customer.
You don’t have an nvidia branded raspberry pi, you have the thing they send to palantirs hired geeks so they can map out the precise extent to which the panopticon can be weaponized. You could probably use it to sort and catalogue pictures of your pets and family.
If you’re too prodromal to do what @cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com said, just use the built in timer program to remind you when to take your shit every day.
Yeah, a python venv has two parts, one part is just a bunch of copies of some basic python shit that you know you’re gonna need, that’s honestly 99% of what you want when you do a venv and need to install a million stupid piles of crap by copy pasting a pip one liner into your shell.
You use this part by just invoking your python3 or pip command inside the venv folder. So ~./<venv_location>/pip install <joes_dumb_crap> or something.
The other one percent is actually invoking the venv which is a really important one percent in terms of not being a guy who plays fast and loose with his systems security and privacy when messing around with totally trustworthy python stuff. It’s only one percent because tbh no one is that guy they’re all the “do whatever just make it run” guy.
So you could have a script file called rectarg in your local path folder that invokes rectarg.py using the python3 executable inside your venv folder and passes whatever you type after “rectarg” straight to rectarg.py.
One man’s right place is another man’s evidence of clinical insanity. You could just leave them on your desktop and invoke them through the venv. You could make a folder called Folder For Python Scripts That Don’t Run Good and put all your different python things there.
You can also put the target python script inside the folder its respective venv lives in.
Really the world is your oyster because ultimately you’re gonna make another script that does something like “read $a; ~./<venv_location>/python3 <target_.py_file> $a;” and naming it what you wanna type to run your .py and put it in your local $PATH directory.
Don’t trust that one liner btw it’s definitley wrong.
I haven’t had time to look deeply into the fix posted in that GitHub link, but on first read it seems to be fixing exactly what you’re describing by tying the mixer channels used for the integrated speakers together correctly.
A lot of these newer realtek chips have an insane amount of tweakability. Even back in the day if you were able to settle for their latency you’d get access to a very powerful hardware mixer and sometimes synthesizer.
Hey when pip doesn’t work:
You’re using Debian, so if you don’t want to set up virtual environments the best bet is to install your dependencies using apt like a normal person. All the python stuff in apt will show up under the prefix python3-. So you’ll need python3-numpy, python3-tiffile etc.
Apt supports tab completion so something like “apt install python3-num” then the tab key would show a list of possible completions (and jump forward any letters that are common between completions).
If you want to use venvs there’s a bunch of posts explaining how to do that.
When you want to “install” the .py doohicky you just downloaded, put it in your path! $PATH will tell you what locations get scanned for executable files when you type something and you can add a local directory like ~/.bin to it, then put your .py file in there. If you go with venvs, put the .py file in the right place to run inside the venv, then make a one liner script that runs it from the venv with the file name set to what you wanna type to run the .py, put it in your local path directory and you’re off to the races!
I also use Debian and am coerced into using python software so reply with any questions and I’ll set you straight.
Your exact surface pro isn’t there yet.
Switch to win 10 21h2 iot ltsc using massgrave and you can wait for linux support to get right till 2032.
That’s weird.
It sounds like there’s an additional amplifier used to drive the internal speakers that isn’t getting turned up. When you fire up alsamixer on the command line do you see more controls than in the gui mixer?
Present in headphones?
here’s the Debian mailing list thread about it. It made a splash a little while back. Might be due to a combination of kernels and btrfs but nonetheless that’s exactly the situation you describe yourself trying to avoid.
Not a slag against btrfs or a lauding of zfs, just trying to point out that you might be barking up the wrong tree if you’re looking for stability and simplicity.
I use ext4 volumes in mergerfs with nightly snapraid parity snapshots for my own data that doesn’t matter. Migrated to that system from zfs looking for simplicity, stability and straightforward recovery and gained increased drive life and lowered power consumption as well. Your mileage may vary.
What is the symptom?
It kinda seems like you don’t need to be using btrfs. If the possibility of your kernel updates breaking scared you off zfs, a system that has been in very widespread use for just going off the dome twice as long as btrfs has been around, why do you think using btrfs is somehow okay?
I’m not trying to suggest you use zfs either.
E: I went and looked and zfs has been in widespread use for around twice as long as btrfs has been marked as stable. It’s worth mentioning too that since being marked as stable btrfs has suffered from a silent data corruption bug.
Been using Debian stable since Hans reiser got locked up.
It’s fine and it will continue to be fine.
Honestly, people who are angry they’re getting targeted ads.
Seriously: if you’re worried about a state, any state, sucking up your data and identifying information, stop posting about it on public forums.
Well, you’re getting into don’t own a phone, use libreboot territory. So bear in mind that the path you’re sniffing around leads pretty much only there.
If you feel comfortable using tor that might make you feel safer.
Social media is a megaphone. With respect and kindness, consider not posting about this if you’re concerned about it.
In that case just using any email service that doesn’t do ad tracking is probably fine. Make sure to keep your email deleted up and save anything you need to know or might need later on down the line.
Try to pick a service that’s a big name, lots of recipients servers and clients will enforce very strict uhh dkim or whatever and that means small timers get bounced.
It’s under settings > Apple account (the bubble with your name if you’re signed in) > age range for apps.
The first time you click it you’re asked to go ahead or update your birthday in the account first.
Inside you can pick to always, never or ask first before sharing your age range with some app and it says you can see what apps have asked for your age range.
