I was wondering why I couldn't find mine. I figured I just had short term memory loss.

There are companies that make you watch anti union propaganda as part of orientation. They also pay tons of money to bust up any attempts at unionization. The disinformation thats pushed put about unions is baffling. Anything from its communism to the unions steal your money. Its not super surprising to me at this point.

On the flip side all the wealthy actors are union... Says a thing or two...

Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

If your in the US you can tell them you'll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn't want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.

Tuck your pants into your socks, this makes it much harder for them to get to the skin. And if you wear lighter color pants they'll be easier to spot so you can grab and incinerate the little shits.

You can probably also get some nexguard plus! Jk thats for animals. They really should get something like that for peoples too though.

How bad is Android Auto for privacy in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] Stowaway@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn't seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I'd believe google would try to crap on that too though.

Is that android auto or wireless android auto?

Neither do Samsung, the jellyfin app works great on Samsung after the annoying process of installing it, but can't put a VPN on it that I'm aware of.

Full Size Mechanical keyboard recommendations. (midwest.social)
 

Hi All,

I'm looking for a new mechanical keyboard. Hoping for some advice. I used to have a Corsair K70 Pro, but unfortunately that no longer functions. I've been using a crappy dell keyboard from work and have finally been annoyed enough by it to buy a new keyboard.

I've considered going with another K70, but corsair doesn't give a shit about linux and I'm kicking windows outta my house. While I could emulate or build a vm, I'd rather just get a keyboard that doesn't make linux an afterthought if thought of at all. What I like about the K70 is that the keys aren't shrouded making it super easy to

Wants are:

  • 100% full keyboard
  • Ideally no shrouding around the switches, minor shrouding would be okay.
  • A passthrough USB port on the keyboard for a mouse, to minimize wires and simpliy cable management.
  • Hotswap switches
  • Full Linux support
  • Backlit (ideally RGB, but I"m not doing any fancy profiles, just a solid color)
  • Media keys nice, but I can live without them.
  • Ideally not much more than $200

I'd prefer prebuilt, but at most minimal soldering would be acceptable, as long as it's nothing too small, my soldering skills are an embarrassment.

I've looked at the following already.

Ducky All models I saw shrouded the switches. seem shrouded.

System76 Cost seems excessive and I don't really want a 96% keyboard.

DasKeyboard & Keychron The models pretty much all shroud the switches too much, or they're low form factor.

The DasKeyboard 5QS comes close, and I might just go with it if I don't have a better option, but it's got more shrouding around the switches than I like. It also doesn't seem to have a secondary USB port.

I just saw this as well. I really like the bigger one on the left, would just need to be a full keyboard, maybe an additional USB port on the back as well. https://lemmy.ml/post/10016605

Plex permission denied adding files to library. (midwest.social)
 

So I'm on plex scanning my library to get new videos added and they show up briefly then quickly disappear. So I looked into logs and plex is spitting out a boat load of permission denied logs.

Background: my plex is a vm in proxmox with its data in a cifs share stored on my truenas scale box. This has been working great for years.

I go take a look on my truenas scale dataset and sure enough, the acl is wonky.

I used to have plex as owner and group as well as permissions for several other users. Now the owner is polkitd which seems to be a service used in Linux for policy auth and permissions. Obviously I'm no Linux master, but i can fiddle.

Anyway the user I use to mount the share is no longer in the acl. Somehow it can still mount the share though?

So question, who the f is this polkitd, and who the hell do they think they are messing with my plex time?

More seriously, is there a reason polkitd would take ownership or modify an acl like this? Where would I look in logs for this?
