I mean, we got a bit spoiled after The Bureau I'm afraid. But before I saw this, I would have recommended you many of the many John Le Carré novel adaptations, and there's quite a few: The Night Manager, and maybe also The Little Drummer Girl

(These are movies) Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Constant Gardener

There's quite a bunch more, and many of them are really good. Of course, I also recommend reading his novels, too, as he's an ex-MI5/MI6 himself, before turning to writing.

And then I'd like to throw in another I consider really great... I've also enjoyed the sadly cancelled TV show, a mix between sci-fi and cold-war spying plots Counterpart. It's two seasons, and it's a pity that it ends prematurely because it was a really interesting world-building. A lot of very good actors on this one. I'd still recommend a watch even if it ends in a disappointing unfinished cliffhanger.

I'd love to have a similar video comparison but for motorcycle helmet dashcams. Here things can get more complicated in that they might need to include additional features, such as Bluetooth, radio and intercom functionality into the mix.

Feels to me like they just copied the visual cues completely disregarding the overall mood of the art they're based on, making it just another Disney action family movie.

Le Bureau des Légendes. Or "The Bureau". Truly believable spies TV series. It's been adapted very poorly and soulless as The Agency, but the French original remains some of the very top notch TV. I'm not French but i couldn't stop watching this thing.

Also, Slow Horses is great too, but how they seem to need to up the ante each season is making it a bit hard to believe.

Steam owners are also receiving this update?

Wow... I had no idea. Thanks!

Is there...any alternatives to TorrentGalaxy? I mean, somewhere to check what new movie releases are there, with a picture and IMDB link etc. I mean sure 1337x has the list of latest release, but you have to go clicking individually the links to see what each one's about. I liked torrentgalaxy's image navigation and movie grouping (it would attempt at catching a movie ID and put all the releases for that movie under related links).

Aw crap that's what I started to think on the third episode or so with the radio and light shenanigans.... I've just started watching it.

I hope they have some idea of where is this meant to go.

That one should be a public service. Why limit it's viewing rate when a lot of the country needs to view his idiocy fumbling for answers he obviously never thought of.

Nah...He'd still play the it was edited bullshit. The only thing that is nearly impossible to defend is "it was edited while being played live". There, his embarrassments are his own, and they're very very hard to downplay to any other causes.

Hi guys! I have KDE Neon 6.2.3 running on my Surface Pro 7+, and up until now it's been running rather smoothly, for years. But today I seem to be unable to fully boot anymore on normal mode. Linux will get stuck on the KDE spinning gear, with the gear frozen. And it becomes unresponsive, to open alternative consoles with control+alt+Fx, or even control+alt+del. The only thing that works is a force shutdown by holding the power button.

I tried with a previous kernel, with the same results (current is linux-image-6.10.10-surface-1, I have a generic 6.8.0-49, but it also freezes). I can boot in safe mode. It opens a different login screen, and after a failed attempt of opening lxde, it fails back to my usual KDE session, in safe graphics mode.

What can I test? How can I see what failed at boot?

 

Hi guys!

I'm considering moving away from duckdns, as it's becoming increasingly unreliable. I'd like to check some other free dynamic DNS alternatives (I'm open to suggestions!).

My idea would be to have the server run under two different domains, but both directing to the same services. Is this possible? What shoudl I change in nginx in order to answer to two different domains/names?

Thanks!

Hi guys!

I'm trying to create a WebDAV server that shares a NFS mount from my NAS. In short, I'm trying to create/share a backup folder in my NAS so my Graphene phone can run the backup.

How can I do this? All the guides mention about sharing /var/www/webdav and chrooting it. How can I share my own folder? Does it need to be /var/www/webdav? Can I share something else instead? Should I just link my NAS mount to /var/www/webdav?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

I purchased a few months ago a new AMD PC, with a 7700 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 7800XT GPU. I've noticed since, that my electric bill has been increased (compared to when I used an Intel i7 6700 with a 1070 GPU), I was wondering, is it possible to use a hybrid GPU setup kinda like laptops, where the iGPU from the CPU is activated for normal tasks, and the discrete GPU is only activated on demand? Would the GPU be unpowered/sleeping in the meantime?

....all this from a Linux perspective, I'm running Nobara 40.

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! I’m planning a 3-4 days weekend trip to Taiwan in early December. I haven’t booked a flight yet, so I can land in any other airport that isn’t Taipei, if the location is better. I’d like some more natural/countryside routes to do on a scooter if possible…not sure if away from the crowds is a possibility. My initial idea earlier this year was Taroko mountain/gorge…but yeah, I guess it won’t be in very good condition just yet. I saw that many parts aren’t planned to reopen anytime soon. What would be any good alternatives?

Thanks a lot!

 

Hi guys! I'm looking to monitor/control the power consumption of some old window-hanging aircon units, that don't really mind when the power is literally cut from the wall. I'd like to be able to see how much power they consume, and also being able to turn them on and off at the socket (the IR doesn't work all that well to begin with). I was checking about the Tapo P110M, but seems these are not sharing the power consumption offline, you need to register them in the app and they only do it through a Tapo account.

What alternatives do I have?

Important, I guess: As I live off an ex-UK colony here, we do have UK-like three pronged sockets, that's the form factor (Type G, I think?) I'd be needing.

 

Hi guys! I'm just a newbie in a way, that some years ago inherited a Nikon DX D7100 with a rather good Nikkor zoom 18-200mm VR (I understand it's the first one, as they might have re-released it at later stages). I played with it for quite a while and took some really good pictures, but at this point it's rather cumbersome to pack in the luggage, together with the drone as well. I'm considering a smaller mirrorless camera perhaps, so I can have something easier to carry around during a hike/tour/scooter ride. However, I would like to keep the portability with the zoom to some degree, as I really love how easily it made to frame subjects and get really good pics. Would you guys have recommendations for cameras (Nikon or not-Nikon), that can fit a Nikon lens with/without some adapter? Just in case this is a DX lens, not full frame, AFAIK (but I wouldn't mind some...vignetting, or digitally/automatically cropping the picture after the fact, if needed).

Hi guys!

Back in the day I used to have a VM holding nginx and all the crap exposed...and I did set it up with fail2ban. I moved away from it, as the OS upgrade was turning messy, and rebuilt onto an LXC container. How should I use fail2ban/iptables in order to protect/harden my LXC container/server? Do the same conditions apply, or will I have any limitations/issues due to the container itself?

Thanks!

 

So...I'm trying to get Proton 9.13, as I've just read it might be able to run The Casting of Frank Stone without crashes. And...I CAN SEE IT. When I choose Steam on ProtonUp-QT. Or when I choose Bottles. But when I choose Lutris, then add version...the latest GE-Proton it shows me is 8-26. Nothing newer than that. What gives? Why?

 

Hi guys! It's been a long while, and I still struggle with Deluge catching brand new releases of movies that just about everyone's downloading.

A bit of background, I have 1Gbps connection, and Deluge in headless mode (that's why I chose Deluge, for headless you get either Deluge or Transmission...AFAIK those are the only two supporting it).

So, whenever my -arr servers catch the latest release of the very latest movie or TV show, Deluge catches it, and faceplants it with a download error immediately. I can either "force check" or "resume". Either way (doesn't matter which), it will error again in a second or two. This struggle continues for a while of resume/error/resume, until it finally starts to download a larger chunk...for it to error again a minute or two later, after downloading several hundred MB. And then another section of constant errors. Finally, it will get stuck at the end at 99%, where it really needs a "force check" to find whatever data was corrupted, redownload that, and finish.

Any idea why this happens? Any way to fix/avoid it? I'm not sure deluge is connecting to fake seeders giving it corrupted data and it fails to catch/fix it. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!

 

So...yeah. Looking at file size, it clearly beats older 264 or even 265. I don't mind if my server is going to have to transcode for most clients, I think the size difference in size might be worth it. But not sure which groups I could focus to look for these AV1 releases, seem they're quite scarce still?

 

Hi! I'm currently looking onto perhaps running Jellystat. But the instructions seem to be a bit...lacking? Is there a step by step guide on how to get it up and running?

Thanks!
