It does have a similar vibe to when Liz Truzz killed the Queen

Didn't he send another cardinal to lecture Vance?

Yeah it's going to be a legal mess for a while and I do sympathise with people who are affected. Something for parliament(s) to sort out.

The courts in the UK are not politicised like in the US.

"Judges say the "concept of sex is binary" while cautioning that the landmark ruling should not be seen as victory of one side over another"

They interpret the law as it's written (I.e. about sex, not gender), so to change this you would need a new law. It's not supposed to be a moral judgement.

But they don't have complete visibility over what you do with cash, which is exactly their point right?

That tram could give it a good punt

They might even give it the whole foot

Bit of a weird one, but... freshly peeled parsnips

I could take them or leave them when it comes to eating, but they smell great. Maybe it's a memory from childhood or something!

Believe it or not, this is a legit thing. I haven't done anything much with rocks*, but here's a good example for soil. If it's fine grained (smaller than sand) and you can't see the particles by eye, you can rub some on your teeth:

Buttery texture --> clay Gritty on the teeth --> silt

Not approved for use on contaminated ground!

Yeah... I love both but Led Zep is way more of a hippie rock vibe and motorhead is like biker rock

I think the short supply is due to bird flu, so not really

 

Just too funny

 

I've ordered myself some parts to build a PC for Linux gaming. In the meantime, i'm deciding on which linux distro to use.

For the desktop environment I typically use KDE.

I have used Ubuntu in the past but i'm ruling it out because of snaps and other such annoyances. This also applies to Ubuntu based distros that use the same repos (KDE Neon etc).

I see the wikis recommend Nobara, but I'm reluctant to use a Fedora based distro because I'm so used to Debian/apt (both as a desktop and server distros). I'm not ruling it out completely though.

Any reason why I shouldn't just go with Debian + KDE and install Steam? Will I be missing out on lots of performance improvements or is this easily addressed by using an additional repo for a tweaked kernel and proton version or whatever?

I'm working on a build list for a Linux gaming rig. It's my first build so I'd welcome any comments or tips!

I'm mostly looking to run games like the Total War series. I'm not obsessed with getting peak performance, I'm angling more for a reasonable value mid-range build.

Linux support is essential, I won't buy any Nvidia products.

UK market if that makes a difference.

List below...

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (£139.99 @ Amazon UK)
  • Motherboard: MSI B550 GAMING GEN3 ATX AM4 Motherboard (£89.97 @ Ebuyer)
  • Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory (£64.98 @ Amazon UK)
  • Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (£84.24 @ Amazon UK)
  • Video Card: PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6650 XT 8 GB Video Card (£239.00 @ Computer Orbit)
  • Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case (£74.50 @ Computer Orbit)
  • Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GX2 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (£101.62 @ Amazon UK) Total: £794.30

Krita (f-droid.org)
 

Discovered this one today when looking for an image editing app for Android. I've used Krita on Linux before but didn't know there was an Android app!

The UI is a bit clunky on a mobile but it does the job!

 
 

It's a free software firmware replacement for ereaders based on Alpine Linux.

I've not tried it myself but wonder how it compares to the stock firmware on Kobo, particularly in terms of battery life and general performance.

 

I have a box running kodi in standalone mode with X11. My TV displays "no signal" if I leave it for too long, does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

I can still ssh into the box and use the remote app Kore so the system hasn't suspended or anything like that.

Pressing up/down etc on the kore remote, which should change what is displayed on screen, doesn't wake kodi up. However, I can wake it up if I tell Kodi to play a video.

 

I'm looking for a linux kernel for Debian that is 6.4.2 or above (need it to support the AX101 WiFi module).

The Debian package linked below is "linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64 (6.4.4-3)"

Does that mean the kernel version is 6.4.0 or 6.4.4?

https://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64

 

Tell me your favourite rescue USB image and why!

Also rescue tips and tricks as that's always interesting.

I have been using a Debian installer USB as I had it to hand (DVD image IIRC) but if I boot into a shell without mounting another root FS the number of utilities is quite limited (just busybox basics). For example just now I wanted gzip but it only had gunzip...

I feel like a shell started from the installer USB should have access to a lot more utilities because the files are there on the disk!

Does anyone know a way to set up a kind of USB like the debian installer where you can install packages from the installer into the live environment?
