#Followerpower: Ich versetze mein Notebook mit Debian (Bookworm) regelmäßig in den Ruhezustand/Standby. Dabei bleiben Geräte, die an einem USB-Port angeschlossen sind, eingeschaltet bzw. werden weiter mit Strom versorgt. Über das BIOS kann ich dieses Verhalten nicht ändern. Gibt es hier eine Lösung/Hack für Debian GNU/Linux? Ich möchte einen oder mehrere Ports sozusagen "stromlos" schalten, so dass angeschlossene Geräte wie USB-Hubs nicht mehr mit Strom versorgt werden. Help anyone? 🧐
Currently playing #broforce with a friend of mine. Can totally recommend the game for all #Linux gamers out there. Loads of fun playing with a friend(s)! (Action packed with many comedic elements)
Also: One does not need a monster of a machine to play it.
Since all the search engines have gone to shit, I'll resort to the old-fashioned way of finding information: Asking people.
So, what's the easiest, most foolproof way to do encrypted offsite #backups on #Linux?
I have a few TB at Hetzner, and a few personal laptops that need automated backups.
The whole thing needs to be fairly foolproof to run (because at least one kid is going abroad for a few months with their laptop), and foolproof to set up up (because it's me setting it up)
Several years ago, I purchased a Clevo N151CU laptop with the idea that I'd gradually upgrade the RAM, storage, and other bits. After my keyboard failed, I found it difficult to find replacement parts. The whole point of the Framework laptop is that it is specifically designed to be modular. It come in kit form, […]
In this one, we have Linux Mint deciding to hide unverified Flatpaks by default (but not apps from the repos, also unofficial?), we have KDE asking you to help them define their goals for the next 2 years, and we have the atrocious Windows recall being already hacked, and Microsoft backing down, making it disabled by default, and adding some security layers (because unencrypted databases are rarely a good idea)
Looks like Microsoft will make Recall opt-in. Seemingly they needed user feedback to figure out that people might not like the idea of them taking a screenshots of their screens every 5 seconds or so.
Security experts also pointed out that this would be a security nightmare. Pretty obvious, really.
This is another example why it is clear Big Tech is not to be trusted to make the right decisions, even when they are staring them in the face.
Desperate to not loose out, they are moving quickly to not be left behind, running blindly ahead without thinking of the consequences.
Gary is organising OggCamp this year, so we wonder what makes the perfect Linux and open source event. Plus why we don’t use multiple partitions for home and swap etc.
Wrapping up a very productive GNOME design call… about accent colors! We addressed every single blocking topic and have a clear way forward. I don’t want to promise anything specific (especially timelines), buuuut it’s looking good to me.
I might write up a blog post to summarize the direction once we sort some of the little details out. But there’s a pretty good consensus across half a dozen or so people doing the work—harder than it sounds. 😅
