I seem to have random BSOD's that seem to suggest memory errors but windows memory diagnostics, memtest86 and memtest86+ all passed with no errors

the BSOD's seemed to be more frequent with memory context restore enabled in the bios and i have since disabled it and the bsods are less frequent

i think the memory context restore was a separate issue that caused the same kind of memory related BSOD's

but now i still do occasionally get BSOD's

event viewer has the following trail each time the BSOD happens

it may also be related to qbittorrent as both times I've witnessed it happening i had qbittorrent open downloading

With Nirsoft DevManView and device manager with the devices by container view I've narrowed it down to "HID-compliant headset" under my heaphones (which are senheiser PXC 550-II if thats relevant)

I have disabled "HID-compliant headset" for now to see if that fixes it but have to wait and see

So, just to say immediately: I guess if I went deep into the frontend code, this will of course be possible, but I am in this case just talking about an easy way from the admin settings as such.

Currently, my aim is to have a unified little "bar" appearing in all three of my Fediverse services, this is what it's appearing as in PeerTube and Lemmy respectively:

With the images linking to the respective instances on the server.

For mastodon (admittedly, also the service I am using the least, myself) - I haven't found anything on how this could be achieved easily - with my searches so far all just providing results for users wanting to put stuff on their profiles.

Currently, trying Markdown Syntax as I use it for Lemmy does not work, no images show up when putting it in the about page or short description. (I guess not enabled for security reasons in the underlying code?)

If you have any experience or also just a good guess, that is very much appreciated! :)

I hope this is the right place for this. I just set up my new Titan Pocket and things are going pretty smoothly, except that the native launcher (quickstep) keeps overriding the one i installed (Niagara).

I have disabled all permissions for the former, but i cant disable or uninstall the app. Niagara has all default permissions and background data enabled.

Any idea what to try next? I'm very particular about my phone interface, i need to fix this lol. TIA

(I have no experience rooting my phones etc)

I recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird. I constantly used a VBA script to resend emails if the recipient hadn't replied by a set time and date. The VBA script can be found here. Is there a Thunderbird add-on that can achieve similar results?

I've downloaded an entire "All Mail" folder for a gmail account using IMAP to a locally running Thunderbird v136.0.1 desktop client. Global search works, but it fails to find some messages that are easily found in a folder-specific search. This All Mail folder has 165,881 messages, but the activity manager shows "Indexed 73955 messages..." after a full rebuild, I think meaning that indexing finished and it only indexed some of those 165,881 messages. Why doesn't it index all of them? I'm not getting any errors, although I haven't enabled any special logging and I don't have anything open except the main email window view and the activity manager. Is there some limit on how big global-messages-db.sqlite can be (mine is 468MiB), how many messages can be processed, or something like that?

I see the GRUB menu, then it goes to an inactive black screen. If I select recovery then resume, it works fine. As this is supposed to be a remote machine, the problem defeats the purpose. I've heard this is usually a GPU drivers issue, so I followed the suggestions here: https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/graphics/install-nvidia-drivers/index.html

and here (I'm running 22.04 and can't update, separate issue though): https://askubuntu.com/questions/760934/graphics-issues-after-while-installing-ubuntu-16-04-16-10-with-nvidia-graphics

Yet I still have the problem with a black screen. While I'd like it to "just work", I'm also open to extreme measures including...

-removing the GPU (assuming that would help) -having a script run that auto-selects recovery then resume then logs in on my behalf (I'd need help figuring that out though)

I also updated the grub file after adding "nomodeset", that didn't fix it either.

Hello everyone. I've currently been experiencing crashes when playing certain games. After a while, I realized that the only games where this happened were Unreal Engine games (Fortnite on Windows, Helldivers 2, Marvel Rivals and PayDay 3 on both Windows and Linux). Originally I believed that the problems were game related (the problems began when new Fortnite and Helldivers seasons began) but now that I noticed that Payday 3 crashes too I realized that all of these games are made in Unreal. These are my specs:

GPU: AMD RX 6600 XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 RAM: 2x16 GB XPG (not sure about speed)

Some more info:

• Other games seem to work fine. I've mostly played God of War, GoW: Ragnarok, Doom Eternal and Street Fighter 6.
• The issue doesn't seem to be related to workload. Fortnite and Payday 3 will handle loading stuff and having may enemies on screen only to crash on calm moments.
• I ran Unigine Heaven 4.0 and it worked fine, I ran it in high and ultra settings and got around 200 fps. I let it run for a few minutes, nothing happened other than my PC sounding like a turbine.
• I have not messed around with overclocking or undervolting the GPU or CPU. The PC is second-hand (only 1 year of not intensive use) and the guy was not tech-savvy, so I don't expect him to have messed around with anything like that either.

I would really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Edit to add some info about the crashes: most of the time the game just crashes, it closes itself and that's it. Every now and then (not most of the time) the game takes my entire computer with it. My whole computer freezes with the last second of sound being played on repeat and then it shuts down and reboots. I could cope with this if it was just crashes but I'm afraid that this is causing actual damage to my GPU and PC in general.

Final edit: after running integrity tests and using OCCT I was able to figure out that one of my RAM sticks was faulty. After removing it I was able to play Fortnite for a couple of hours without errors.

I looked into wf.msc (windows' firewall) and it does not allow any prioritization. So you cannot exclude all traffic except from two exceptions. Any broad block rule supercedes any specific allow rule.

I also tried setting up firewall rules using powershell wich allows more finegrained control. But that failed as well....

I want to connect android studio to github so i can work on my FOSS apps from anywhere in the world. I also want to use virtualbox to connect to the great onlines safely.

How did you resolve this issue?

Hey,

So I've been connecting to an ftp server which I worked on with apps like GNOME Builder, and backed up the contents of with Pika Backup, connecting to it via the GNOME Files application, Nautilus, from the Network tab.

Recently, apps stopped being able to read files I opened with the file picker hosted on the ftp server, and after a lot of debugging I realised that was because Nautilus had for some reason switched from mounting the files under /run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp_address to the more abstract path ftp://ftp_address, under the virtual directory computer:///. Now apps can't read those files as they are not mounted under an actual path.

I couldn't find a way in Nautilus, FileZilla, or Dolphin to mount the ftp server files under a specified path /mnt/ftp_username, or even to put it back to the unwieldy but still working path it was under before, using a GUI.

I was recommended by an LLM assistant to use the curlftpfs command, but even with several variations of a command such as the following

sudo curlftpfs -v -o "uid=$UID,gid=$GID" ftp://username:correct%20password@ftp_address /mnt/ftp_username

it always gave the same error

Error setting curl: 

I'm not sure what else to try, could I have some advice please?

Hi, i don't know if its the right community to post this. Basically i had my os sensitivity on master plus software set to 5 before i knew what it was and used 600dpi. then i realized why 400dpi felt so slow and i changed to 400 and os sensitivity 6. at every reboot it change just the os sensitivity to 5 but kept every other change. tried saving a profile, updating software (1.9.6) but still problem persist. i tried searching and it seems to be a know problem but didnt found solution. no big deal to change every reboot but i'll still try if anyone have a solution. thanks in advance to anybody who will respond:)

ive tried endless amounts of examples scripts ive found online but none work on autohotkey v2.

im playing a game that requires me to hold control to jump but its hurting my finger. Ideally i want to press a shortcut like Shift + ` or double click the control key and have it leave the control key pressed until i toggle it off with the same shortcut or double pressing control.

Hello everyone. First post in tech support.

I have been using Joplin and fed up with its accumulating errors. What alternatives that support similar features do you recommend? (ranking from most important)

• Can insert image
• Hyperlink by markdown language
• Supports LaTeX
• Supports Mermaid flowchart
• Export to PDF
• Can handle a lot of notes
• Windows and Android
• Migrate a chunk of markdown files all at once

Thanks a lot. Have a nice day :)

One of our fellow amateurs needs help to recover their Google account. They have the credentials, but no longer have access to their recovery phone number.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? My Google-fu is only unearthing unhelpful forum posts without any firm process described by Google.

Anyone have any links or contacts?

EDIT: So, I tried a few things, including using a publicly available HTTP proxy list (and using the force IPv4 option). The issue is seemingly well known - and there does not seem to be a good solution. When trying out the proxies, they were also very unreliable, and I found reports of people having their IP blocked again if they changed it. I might look into setting up a small Raspi-like system at home to use at a self-configured proxy that can run without drawing a lot of electricity. That might be able to fool YT better than publicly available proxies, as it would appear as a residential network to them.

But overall, I think this problem might depend on yt-dlp updates and/or YT changing policies, ultimately.

So, at the moment, I have the feature to mirror channels or import from URLs disabled for my PeerTube server (although it should work fine, for platforms other than YT). Trying to import from YT-URLs does result in errors every time, and from my research and bug-hunting, it seems to be a problem with yt-dlp not having necessary cookies and being prompted to log in by the YT bot avoidance systems.

Now, I don't really want to import any credentials from my personal YT account to anything that will ultimately run outside my control, if that is at all avoidable. Does someone here have any experience with other ways to get it running? So far, I haven't found anything myself.

On my system monitor my laptop idles at 80+ degrees celsius

EDIT: strangely enough, it has a similar temperature on high load

EDIT2: Yes I think I will order thermal paste

I got a Dell Latitude 7400 2 in 1 from my job they were going to ewaste. I daily drive KDE Neon on it and I love it. However, one of its two USB type C ports isn’t working for charging or data transfer. I inspected the port but found no obvious damage. How can I troubleshoot and fix this? I’ve searched YouTube and online sites but haven’t found helpful guidance.

Hi, I'm on slrpnk.net and yesterday I made a weekly announcement post to [email protected] I think you can see that post here:

• https://slrpnk.net/post/19513116

However later I noticed that if I looked at the community in private mode, my post wasn't there! I just now reposted it with a slightly different title and now if you look at the community it is there:

• https://lemmy.world/c/bmoviebonanza
• https://lemmy.world/post/26877690 Though the first post still never showed up.

So I'm thinking... the first post didn't federate? Is that the issue? If so, why? Or is it just a bug and if so who do I report it to? Thanks for any feedback.

EDIT: Solved, thanks to [email protected] pointing out here, that I was missing a proper domain for smtp_server. I thought I had tried that already, but I probably had some other settings borked up when I did.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.abnormalbeings.space/post/94985

So, I am currently in the process of setting up a PeerTube and Lemmy instance, both on a dedicated Server running Debian 12. PeerTube seems to work properly by now, but the SMTP settings for Lemmy have been a bit of a headscratcher, and I wasn't able to find a solution.

To set up Lemmy, I followed the "from scratch" guide, and, besides the mail issue, it seems like everything else is working so far.

Note that I am currently in the process of learning-by-doing with this whole project. So, I would not rule out, that I may have overlooked something really obvious and stupid, sorry for taking your time, then.

My settings in /opt/lemmy/lemmy-server/lemmy.hjson:

  email: {
    # Hostname and port of the smtp server
    smtp_server: "localhost:587"
    # Login name for smtp server
    smtp_login: "lemmymail"
    # Password to login to the smtp server
    smtp_password: "REDACTED"
    # Address to send emails from, eg "[email protected]"
    smtp_from_address: "[email protected]"
    # Whether or not smtp connections should use tls. Can be none, tls, or starttls
    tls_type: "starttls"
  }

The error message I get, when trying both resetting a password, or applying as a new user:

WARN Error encountered while processing the incoming HTTP request: lemmy_server::root_span_builder: EmailSendFailed: Connection error: Connection error: invalid peer certificate: NotValidForName

"lemmymail" exists as a local user on the server.

# dovecot --version 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964)

If needed, I can provide additional info from dovecot and/or postfix configurations in the backend. Similar settings as above have worked for PeerTube. As a reference - these are working in production.yaml there:

# SMTP server to send emails
smtp:
  # smtp or sendmail
  transport: smtp
  # Path to sendmail command. Required if you use sendmail transport
  sendmail: null
  hostname: mail.abnormalbeings.space
  port: 587 # If you use StartTLS: 587
  username: '[email protected]'
  password: 'REDACTED'
  tls: false # If you use StartTLS: false
  disable_starttls: false
  ca_file: null # Used for self signed certificates
  from_address: '[email protected]'

Things I have tried:

• Changing the user from and to a user with @abnormalbeings.space in the string
• Changing the user to one I know works, as I use them for automatic PeerTube mail messages
• Changing the hostname to a FQDN url instead of localhost (without https://)
• Trying different ports (did not expect that to work)
• changing tls_type to "none"
• changing the Password to one containing no special characters (and back)
• changing smtp_from_address to an actually existing user
• restarting nginx, dovecot, postfix, lemmy-server and lemmy-ui for good measure after every change

I'm not sure how to phrase this question, so apologies if it sounds ridiculous.

I recently switched to Mozilla after uBlock was killed off by Chrome. I swapped all my saved passwords from my Google/Chrome account to my new Mozilla account. My husband also signed us up for a 1Password account. Here's where my question might get confusing....

Lets say I make a new account on a site and I'm on Mozilla. The new login info is now saved to Mozilla, and 1Password. Is there a way to set it up so whatever gets saved to 1Password transfers the login info to my Google account as well? I have an Android phone, so the password info is handy to have built into my Google account on my phone when I need it.

Or should I just download the 1P mobile app, and rely on that exclusively for passwords I need when I'm on my phone?

I've been struggling to find any resource for mac tech support/general questions. The r/mac subreddit is more of a cult or something(same with apple forums except its non competent apple employees), I've had the problem of siri running in the background (while having siri disabled) and it using over 100% of a cpu core, bringing the temps up by 20-30 degrees while idle, and the only answer I've got there was on the lines of "trust you're computer bro, it knows more than you". I'd love a community to ask mac specific questions and not have people who get personally offended when someone criticizes or points out a problem on apple devices.

So I have an aging DellM4800 15.6" laptop. It's actually built to last, upgradeable MXM A GPU, replaceable battery, professional keyboard, good build quality, easy to get to parts, and has a great matt screen. I use it as a portable laptop, rather than a mobile desktop unit.

Still, Somehow the hinge on one side has become warped. I have no clear idea but suspect that from where it used to be on my lap, the rear fans blew its heat onto it. Or maybe it took a knock somewhere. This would be quite a knock.

Anyway, the plastic cracked and broke off due to the warped metal, and the one side feels a bit, loose and wobbly. It opens fine-ish and just makes a clicking sound each time its opened.

Are there usually generic metal hinges for laptop screens or are they unique to each device? I don't particularly want to have to buy a whole new screen or worse, a new case just for hinges for one side. The missing plastic is small and I can deal with it, but would like to get this one side feeling as solid as the rest of the case.

So I have a text file* on my phone (android) that I wanted to share on Discord (the file is way over the character limit, so sending it as a message doesn't work.) How would you do it ? It really shouldn't be that hard...

*more info : this is a replay file from a game, so I can access it from the game and copy it to clipboard. Then I can paste it to the notepad app to save it, but I'm not sure that means it's stored as a text file on my phone (notably, I've not been able to find it from anywhere other than my notepad app).

The workaround I found is pasting it into Google Docs and then access it via Google Drive on my computer, but it isn't ideal (and notably requires me to have access to my computer).

(also obligatory rant about how it wouldn't be that hard if phones didn't obfuscate the file system so much)

Hi guys. I have a question related to my screen. I've got my laptop (Win11) hooked up to an usb-c hub that's got a power source, keyboard, mouse and screen connected to it. However when I plug that in I get an "error" message like this and sometimes the screen "switches off", as in goes black, and then right back on again.

Is there a log somewhere I can look at to figure out what's going on? Anyone already know what's up? I an error on the monitor at times about "no digital signal" or something to that effect.

What I find weird is that sometimes it works perfectly for hours, sometimes it blinks constantly, sometimes it just goes completely dark and I can't seem to find any logic to it. It just seems random.

Earbuds are only 1 month old, they did not have this issue before

Now when the buds reach 60% battery it drains and goes from 60 to 0 in 10 or 20 minutes (not joking), thus only giving me 2 hours of battery life.

Earbuds and phone (Galaxy A55 5G) are up to date. ANC is on as well but still it shouldn't cause them to drain the battery so fast

Found this while thrifting. The cable is for a sennheiser hd 203 headphones. Even having the headphones I cant find anything about this cable online.
