Samsung, SK Hynix, and TSMC depend on oil, gas, helium, sulphur, and bromine coming from the region, or through the Strait of Hormuz.

Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research ... predicts a severe hit to chip production if the strait isn’t back in operation within a month.

Could mean higher PC component prices, or even a halt in production. Could mean global recession.

I have no job, so the gift cards I have are prepaid and only have a few dollars on them. I should get a job soon, but in the meantime, I want to run my own Lemmy instance. I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to do so? If I run it on just my computer, it'll shut down when my computer turns off, and there is an old computer my parents have but they won't let me use it because they don't wanna buy a new charger (The charger cord is broken)

Hey there folx, I'm getting ready to go back to school and I was curious of any distro that have good pen support. The basic use see is likely just reading studies and being able to highlight in the PDF.

I'm looking at either a new framework12 or trying to find a surface to meet these needs. Likely won't be until next year I'm in school so I have time to tinker and troubleshoot.

Thanks to advice from users here, I finally installed Jackett & installed the Jackett plugin for Qbittorrent, and have been enjoying Jackett's abilities.

But I have experienced the following issue:

1. I do a search in Qbittorrent (using the Jackett plugin) and my results include hits from the Internet Archive.
   I click to download one but there are zero seeds and it doesn't start to download.
2. Then I open the relevant Internet Archive page, download the .torrent from there and open it (clicking yes to "already in list, merge trackers etc").
   It immediately finds the seeds from archive.org & starts to download very quickly.

Archive.org seeds not seen when downloading from Qbittorrent Jackett search result. They only appeared after manually finding & opening the .torrent file from the IA web page.

• Why does the Qbittorrent Jackett IA search result not find the IA seeds but the IA .torrent file does?
• Is there a way to avoid the steps of going to the IA web page, downloading the .torrent file etc and just get IA seeds directly from the Jackett search result in Qbittorrent?

Attention, ça parle de violence policières dans le monde!

now says " this is a QR code. would you like more AI info on QR codes?' um, just wanted the usual url. pos. jfc, off to the app store for some 20 year old tech...

I have installed noto-fonts-cjk but the Linux kernel terminal won't display Japanese/Chinese characters.

Environment:
ThinkPad T480
Arch Linux

Edit: I managed to track down this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console and realize that I need to setfont. Now I just need to find which one in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts can display Japanese, I suppose.

Edit2: looked through https://adeverteuil.github.io/linux-console-fonts-screenshots/ to no avail.

Edit3: this thread https://askubuntu.com/questions/193391/how-do-i-display-chinese-japanese-characters-in-a-linux-vt-console hints at this not being a possibility, because - paraphrased - the framebuffer can't hold 2000 characters, which is what I would like it to be able to display.

Edit4: as pointed out in the above askubuntu thread, and as @mina86@lemmy.wtf secondarily recommends, fbterm seems to be the solution: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fbterm

Edit5: kmscon also seems to be able to display CJK: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON

Marking as SOLVED, but I have not yet tried replacing the Linux kernel terminal. That'll have to wait until next weekend.

I read on PC, how can I save power and make PC last longer by under powering the PC ?

On Windows I put max CPU state to 1%, PCIe and WIreless Power to power saving mode.

Also related question, How to disallow software from inhibiting power management?

I am trying to get pihole with unbound installed on a PostmarketOS device (open rc init). I can't seem to get this installed at all.

I tried using the bash installer, but that didn't work. I tried using the Alpine repositories, but it didn't work either.

Anyone with tips or resources on how to get this thing to work?

Today's game is some more Metal Gear Solid Delta. I finished my second play through (The No Kill One) and finished up the last few collectibles. The last thing left for me is to do a Fox Hound Run. This run served to get me all the camo i'll need. Hopefully with these tools at my disposal i'll only struggle with the bosses, but we'll see.

I went ahead and did the Tsuchinko title too while i was at it. As you can see by my stats, they aren't great. So Foxhound i expect to struggle with the sightings part. Thankfully i won't have to look around for any collectibles this go around so i may be able to just crawl through all the areas without issue.

During the entire chase with the Shagohod i was taking pictures (and partly through the boss fight). I wasn't sure whether Tranq rounds would kill anyone if they crashed so i had too tank the hits. Thankfully it didn't do too much damage.

On retrospect off my second playthrough (picture unrelated, i didn't have any to represent what i mean) i like how all the parts of the game feel like they're constantly utilized. Like, there's a bunch of little details in all the boss fights. Like the end? Wait for the rain and he'll fall asleep. Or the Fury you can smoke grenade him to chase off his Wasps apparently. It's little details like this that are what made this game stand out too me. It's really impressive to a degree i wish i saw more. And the story was phenomenal too (though i already talked about that).

Tomorrow i'll attempt foxhound. I'm hoping with the faster time i'm expecting i'll just plow through it so i could get it all done in one day. With the moss camo i'm expecting to be able to crawl through most areas, and if that doesn't cover everything i have the other Camos at my disposal thankfully.
