Hey, I'm Tom. I love technology and all things open source.

I have a bunch of :raspberrypi:'s running my home lab, keeping my personal life off the internet. Still a way to go before I'm completely offline, a major issue being Google Home.

I run :debian: with :xfce: and my gaming computer does too! I also have a Fairphone4 which runs :lineageos2: with MindTheGapps.

@Twitter_expat @Gargron I love the ease of finding people with similar interests through the hashtag system. It feels much more natural, a bit like joining a D&D group, you know you all have the same interests.

If you want to know whether someone is on Mastodon, how would you be most likely to ask?

If you want #fingerprint support with #LightDM you can uninstall lightdm-gtk-greeter and instead install slick-greeter which is an alternate front end to LightDM. You can get GUI settings with lightdm-settings, but the settings file is super simple to use.

As long as sudo uses your fingerprint, this will too.

Anyone know what happened to the #LineageOS builds last week? Are new builds being produced now? I can't find the server that runs the official builds, on the old website they linked to the server so you could see the build queue.

On the #Linux #Terminal, is there a way to list all #systemctl issues? For example, show the number of and which #services have issues, the same way cockpit does in the web interface?

Answer via @kura

systemctl list-units --state failed

You can find all states with

systemctl list-units --state help

or via @luap

systemctl --failed

How long do you think Raspberry Pi OS will continue to provide support for 32-bit boards?

@passthejoe 64bit isn't even their primarily offered architecture yet, I'd say it's still got many years of life left.

@passthejoe Upstream, AFAIK Debian has no plans to kill 32 bit support.

@revk Not quite related, but I ended up getting a doorbell that's powered by the push of the button. It's been running for years, and I'm so happy with it. So much easier than having a battery run out and not know it.

Why must smoke alarms always decide to start low-battery chirping at 4am?

I would definitely pay extra for one with a small back up battery and a real time clock that would only low-battery chirp between 9am and 9pm.

@linux_mclinuxface Mines wired into the house, with a battery backup, never had the horrible beep.

@tripplehelix@fosstodon.org avatar

@linux_mclinuxface Heard unplugging them stops them from beeping. Because replacing a battery at 2am is too hard.

Are there really people that honestly believe the Earth is...
Or is it just someone seeking attention by being in some cult?

tripplehelix,
@tripplehelix@fosstodon.org avatar

@revk Also being part of a 'collective' is in the DNA of Humans, unfortunately the idea's that bring the groups together can be anything.

Why would anyone join a suicide cult? Well because others are. Why do people believe X? Because other people do.

This has been proven many times, all it takes to start something like this is a small group of people making a joke. Or a singular well-spoken person who has mental deficiencies.

OK note to future self, won't allow to run because it also has a script in /etc/init.d/, just delete that one. It's not needed.

NAS down, I think I'm just going to convert my rainfall logging from crontab to systemd then end there. Not sure if running my update scripts automatically is the best idea.

Done! So much simpler than it seems WorkingDirectory is pretty awesome.

So now I have tblock, which has an issue with its built in systemd files. See if I can get that working.

Trying to get in to a routine with the new Apple Watch.

For years I have used a Powerwatch which does not need charging, well, maybe a couple of times a year in the Winter. It uses solar and thermal, which is great.

The Apple watch lasts 3 days, but what I need to do is get in to a habit of charging at some point every day.

Not while sleeping, as use to track sleep.

But also not every 3 days, as no way to make that a "routine".

My current plan is "when I poor a whisky" 🙂

@revk I hate the battery life of smartwatches. Charging a watch regularly is annoying. It really ruins all use cases. Went and got a .
