Grumpy old #PHP developer trying to learn #elixir with an unhealthy obsession with coding, dad jokes, and #Linux. Living in Olympia, WA #OlyWA

Does anyone have a great #meditation podcast or app they really love? I want to start getting in the habit

Is anyone here currently playing with or using a #riscv board or machine?

What are you running? What are you using it for?

I've been interested for a while but still feels a bit too early days

nostr:npub1jl6dadeh9sdw75u472tea6xtedtcuslfgd6u78s9r2pldj66aans86nrve sadly everything is cooked onto the board. Only ribbon cables to reset. Which I did.

I also plugged in an optical mouse to see if it would power on. And no. So I think the board is just bad :/. Oh well.

It's a $150 Chromebook so likely not even worth getting a new board for

nostr:npub1g4aj6d5pa65xgsqsls6wppjckulx7p9wmh2myhqfvlf5gkqf8ntq6yctgq well its "like new" And someone gave it to me so im not even the buyer

nostr:npub1thl6x3pve59m7kgsr3ymq22zst0tge0www48tgsytur32w02rtwq2wmhaw ohhhh true! Good idea thanks. One thing I haven't tried. Plugging it into an external monitor. If you can do that.

Because it's fanless I have no idea. Maybe it's on lol

nostr:npub1thl6x3pve59m7kgsr3ymq22zst0tge0www48tgsytur32w02rtwq2wmhaw love that site. But doesn't seem to help with completely unresponsive machine.

Any suggestions #tech friends?

I've got this basically new Lenovo #chromebook 3. And it just won't power on at all. Just does nothing. No lights, no screen. It's charge and same deal with power plugged in.

I've tried the power/ refresh trick and even took it apart so it's just mother board keyboard and screen and still nothing.

Anything else I should try?

nostr:npub1m9kzpes6a9heykcfft63gey5wyu9dnccsp0y9gezlreg76k0tqdske0c7r I hope your happy. I've been on a 24 hour bender from all this dudes covers. Pretty amazing.

nostr:npub1sa6qs4npykstkjkppvnllh2ksvhgf4l47fzcy4dm0qqxvxcw0edqm4pcal oh man. I actually did that with unlocater and it worked.. until it didn't lol.

Issue was, this is for my dad and somehow he had to reset his network connection which reset his DNS and he's not able to do that.

So looking for something that is more durable

Need some #nixos advice. I'm building a little streaming box for the upcoming NFL season using game pass. But want to have it use a VPN to get around the idiotic blackout rules.

Is there a way to cook the VPN stuff into the config? And any suggestions on great vpns for streaming that get me "out of the US"

Serious question: What's the best "Fast Car" cover?

One of my most favorite podcast just did an AMAZING episode on the history of anti-vaxx and the science and facts behind it.

In a super funny way.

If you're at all curious OR conflicted on vaccine safety. This is a such a much listen. We need more journalism like this.

Can anyone help?

Currently getting my ass kicked by #systemd timers on #nixos

This keeps failing with an exit-code, status 127.

Just want to git pull this repo. It works if I run the command manually. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
