The popular Vanguard ETFs will definitely have it, they do track CRSP and FTSE Russell (VT and VTI for example) - Both of which adopted fast track rules that will allow SpaceX to become eligible 5 days after the IPO. Unless Vanguard themselves decide not to include it in their portfolios (seems unlikely but you never know). I think Vanguard does have some funds specific to tracking S&P but that’s not usually what people use Vanguard for.

e.g.

https://moneywise.com/news/top-stories/elon-musk-spacex-ipo-crsp-vti-ftse-russell-nasdaq-401k

That could lead to some interesting outcomes, how these funds look in 12 months could indeed be tied to which specific index(s) they are tracking.

Not sure if you already know, the Piefed software (and pifed.social site) does maintain a list of default domains they block. It’s mostly right leaning/far right type stuff but still, hosting a conservatism community on an instance that censors/blocks a lot of those related links… is certainly a choice.

See https://lemmy.ml/post/47022286/25574741 and rest of the post discussing it.

I’ve no interest in the community, just letting you know in case you’re wondering why certain news site links don’t show up there.

I don’t know Voidlinux but am curious, what GPU are you using? And is your Linux DE using Wayland or X? Nvidia GPU drivers are notorious for having issues with suspend/hibernate/resume. If it’s Nvidia you could try tinkering with enabling/disabling the driver options or the suspend/hibernate/resume services.

These should give you some hints:

Unfortunately I don’t know what you’d do exactly to recover from a failed hibernate - the thing with hibernate is that the RAM of the running OS was saved to disk so even turning it off completely isn’t going to solve that, the whole point of hibernate is to be able to power off completely after all. When you get your system back up you should do some light testing with standby, not hibernate, just to see if there’s issues. Or do what I do and never standby/hibernate :P

Offhand I’d suspect a finicky adapter. Does the adapter work with other disks? Does the disk work when plugged into a server/computer directly?

Assuming it’s the adapter being finicky - did you happen to try using other USB cables with the adapter?

When plugging into the system - Does the dmesg output display anything else useful, any warnings or anything? I would have thought it would give you the USB drive chipset vendor/model, I didn’t think Sabrent builds their own chipsets but could be wrong.

Also would try doing a smartctl --scan followed by a smartctl -a /dev/YOUR-EXTERNAL-DRIVE and see what comes up. (those are part of smartmontools)

Intuit really is the worst.

I sort of expect them to conduct more layoffs / raise the price of their other software/services even more to compensate, greedy fuckers. Unfortunately a lot of businesses use their other software so Intuit is sort of embedded there. Outside of work/business stuff not sure why anyone willingly gives these people money.

tried it via tor

Doesn’t load in Tor for me either but I suspect their site is simply blocking Tor. The site does load fine outside Tor in the regular clearnet.

9 times out of 10 these sort of things turn out to be a DNS issue on your end, you might want to double-check you’re actually able to query their IP address via nslookup freedns.afraid.org or similar. (assuming you’ve already tried other web browsers to rule out issues with installed extensions or specific browser settings).

Are you able to get phone service with your primary internet service wherever you’re at? That ISP already has your billing info so it’s not like you’d be giving out any more info.

If you can do that then you can basically live like every other person without a cell phone. I know older people that don’t have cell phones so they just use landlines/ISP phone service for phone calls. For banks they literally just go to the local brick and mortar bank, there’s no requirement banking has to happen online or on a phone. And for calling the local cab companies, calling those with the house phone is easy enough.

But yeah you’re basically talking about disconnecting from having an online presence since you don’t want to use Uber/Lyft apps, don’t want to use bank apps, and won’t have a mobile phone or smartphone with phone service.

That’s not all of Lemmy, just your specific Lemmy instance with those restrictions (lemmy.world).

Talk to lemmy.world admins or sign up to a different Lemmy instance that allows VPN usage.

Adding onto the other comments, if you have admin access to your network router/firewall you can configure the incoming port forward itself to only allow specific IP addresses while dropping traffic from any other internet WAN IPs. It’s a bit like using the Jellyfin whitelist/blacklist but doing it at the network level. This drops all unwanted internet traffic to that port at the firewall before ever reaching the Jellyfin software. Downside is having to occasionally update the firewall whenever there are IP address changes.

This is probably only feasible if you only have some specific Jellyfin clients in mind to accept connections from, not any random person from any random WAN IP address.

You didn’t mention your laptop specs but I’d say if your laptop has USB 3.0+ ports then you should be okay with plugging in a multi-drive USB DAS (like the ones with 2-5 drive bays) or even a single drive USB enclosure if that’s your preference. I have a few that I use on and off without issue.

Slower USB speeds are also functional but the performance hit will be noticeable.

Should I use PFsense or OpenWRT?

I wouldn’t recommend pfSense unless you’re already invested in it (e.g. already have a pfSense setup and want to transfer your config files and settings over). Netgate (parent company) has been moving towards their paid versions (pfSense Plus and TNSR), the Plus version is free if you buy their router otherwise will cost you some money for a subscription. And meanwhile they stopped providing current downloads of full installs/builds of the free community pfSense so actually getting the current 2.8.1 is a hassle now - you’re expected to download their Netgate installer that needs internet access to download the full install while installing the router software, or you need to download/install an older version of pfSense (2.7.0 I think) and then get online to update it to 2.8.1.

Just went through all that doing a re-install, it’s crazy that I need to have internet access to install the router that will provide internet access LOL.

OPNsense is a well known alternative. OpenWRT could work too but I haven’t used it personally.

https://github.com/ddhhhkj/tetris-android last updated a year ago

That’s interesting, not sure that I trust an AI coded game enough to load onto my phone. But it is amusing seeing an AI project using the copyright “Tetris” name, most human coders aren’t brave enough to re-use the name itself. But AI is gonna AI I guess.

Ah you just reminded me, I remember Tttris / Titris being one of the better free open source Tetris clones on Android way back. No ads, no need to be online, just a good standalone Tetris clone for Android. I still have the old .apk, might be the same as the last one published to F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.seavenois.tetris/ but like you said eventually stopped being updated & isn’t compatible with current Android phones nowadays.

Now you got me thinking about this again, wish I had a good suggestion. Will be following this post, maybe other people know about some other good ones.

On Debian the older Nvidia GPU would still work fine with the default Nouveau driver (open source non-Nvidia), I think(?) it’d be the same on Kubuntu/Ubuntu. Since it was an upgrade maybe you just need to re-enable Nouveau on your system? It’s not something I’ve ever done but doing a quick online search came up with some instructions here https://gist.github.com/vredchenko/42381e9cff3f1e162cb47cfd6479c459 , it looks more or less correct I’d just double-check before rebooting that Nouveau is not being blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d

You could try that & see how it goes before doing anything more drastic. You’re not going to do any heavy gaming with Nouveau but it should handle day-to-day tasks fine.

Like the other comment mentioned I’d try https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec first.

Just a heads up with proper data recovery it’s usually a good idea to dump an image of the media card to your drive and do any data recovery attempts against that image, not the media card itself. I would usually use ddrescue for that but you’ll probably be okay with standard dd too if the card itself is fine (as you said the deleted files were user error, not a failing card).

PS - You should definitely not use the media card in the camera until you’re done with recovery attempts, the more you use it the less likely you’ll recover anything off it.

At the very bottom is a menu with an entry called “Instances”. Click that to see lists of linked and blocked instances.

Just FYI that does not tell .world members about which communities lemmy.world admins block. Whether on purpose or accidental lemmy.world admins are a bit secretive about which communities they block, there is no published list anywhere I could find. If you find one let me know but AFAIK it does not exist.

So per your example .world members can see that instances are linked and federated (including dbzero) but there’s no indication about any blocked communities on those linked instances.

You would need to view the instance directly, not through lemmy.world due to the lemmy.world admins blocking it. I’m not sure if lemmy.world admins block links to it too but if you need a link look up all the Lemmy instances at https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active

Divisions by zero is currently the 7th most active Lemmy instance.

From there you’d just have to decide if you want to create an account at that instance itself, or just create an account at a different Lemmy instance that isn’t blocking piracy communities. I think lemmy.world admins may be the only ones actively blocking piracy communities… I haven’t heard of other admins at other instances doing that.

I’m on Debian but have been using GNOME with its built-in RDP server since it’s Wayland compatible… But before I did that I had also set up XRDP so here’s a few ideas :)

I just installed Debian with XFCE. I installed XRDP but for the life of me I cannot get it working.

Are you using XFCE with Wayland or X11? XRDP currently only works with X11. Make sure the user you are using to RDP with is able to log in normally with XFCE + X11 before attempting RDP.

Also RDP logins only work with Linux users that are not currently logged in at the desktop so make sure you’re logged out before testing.

Also double-check that the xrdp.ini file looks right, particularly the incoming port it is configured to use. (on Debian it is in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini). When I initially configured XRDP the port setting was strangely configured, it was set with port=vsock if I remember correctly and that wasn’t working… I had to change it to a regular port number. Also consider changing the port number if necessary, I had to change mine but only because Gnome’s own RDP server was already using the default port 3389. (if you change xrdp.ini settings make sure to restart the xrdp service)

Also double-check that the XRDP service is active and running (sudo systemctl status xrdp) - on my end the service would stop running when the port number config was wrong which meant it was no longer listening to incoming connections.

Most AppImage files are full compiled applications on their own, no need to “install” anything. Just run them directly to start the application.

You may need to expand in your post what it is you’re doing exactly? Or maybe you downloaded the one Appimage that is an installer for something and it is designed to remove itself after installation? Doubt that is what is happening but can’t entirely rule it out.

CPU: socket LGA1200 era Intel Celeron

DRIVES: 4 SATA, 1 PATA, 2 NVME

Just wanted to mention that PATA hard drive may need to sit this one out, depends on whether you want to buy more stuff beyond a motherboard. LGA1200 means you’re using motherboards built from roughly 2020+, it would be highly unusual to find a motherboard with a PATA port in this decade or even last decade. So to use that drive inside the server you’re looking at buying some type of adapter (I’ve seen PATA-to-SATA adapters but can’t vouch for any in particular) or a PCIe card with PATA ports if those exist. Or to use it externally you’d have to hunt around for an old IDE-to-USB enclosure or some other type of USB adapter to have the drive sit outside the server.

I have a few old PATA drives myself but actively using them seems like more trouble than it’s worth
