Kubuntu 23.10 connects to wifi, but only after all other startup programs have run.

I'm just curious as to why that is. And what controls this startup behavior.

I've had to change some startup scripts for rclone, to wait until a network connection is present before starting. Other than that it's not a problem.

I use an rmm called level. The remote support function under Wayland doesn't allow keystrokes or mouse input in Firefox.

Question : Is it that Firefox has not implemented the necessary features to allow input? Or is this more likely to be the rmm?

I reached out for a feature request to level, great company BTW.

UPDATE: So, it turns out that my RMM is working fine under Wayland. Level got back with me because they couldn't reproduce the problem. So I tried to reproduce the problem. Only to find it is working just fine. Whatever was causing that problem, I have no idea. But it's gone.

I'm rewatching Final Destination.

And it dawned on me that all of the shots were choreographed for 3D animation.

I remember disliking 3D movies whenever we had those red and blue lens glasses.

And whenever the movie industry switched over to the new clear 3D glasses. I still didn't see the point in 3D movies. I watch them and then threw away the glasses at the end of the movie. The experience sucked, just like always.

So I'm curious.

Did anybody actually want 3D movies? Or was this something that the movie industry was just trying to shove down our throats?

Learning the terminal. Found this nice android app: "Linux Command Library"

It lists a number of man pages and examples.

I found this one:

block known dirty hosts from accessing your machine

wget -qO - http://infiltrated.net/blacklisted|awk '!/#|[a-z]/&&/./{print "iptables -A INPUT -s "$1" -j DROP"}'

I figured that domain was a list of spam sites and such.

Googled it. Found nothing mentioning it. Went to the domain and it was blocked by my ad blocker.

Anyone know of it?

I need a wireless controller for my linux laptop (Kubuntu 23.04).

I don't care how it connects (bluetooth dongle). I just want one that works. The most intense game I play is stardew valley.

First off, this isn’t a troubleshooting post. I just found it really interesting and wanted to share.

Some of the keys on the keyboard are not working. I opened the device and reseated the connector (ribbon cable). It works fine. For a while…

Problem comes back. I had decided to flash the system with new win 11 (not for the purpose of troubleshooting btw, just needed a win 11 laptop).

I used an external keyboard to do this. Which worked fine.

Boot new system. The internal keybaord is working fine. Then stops working. Same problem. Only some keys work.

Weird Part:

The keys which work on the internal keyboard, DO NOT work on the external keyboard. And vice-versa.

I just thought it was interesting.

In general the users of r/msp are all about reselling propriety products and services. So I'm curious if any of them would move to lemmy.

Looking for opinions.

I'm pasting this everywhere. Looking for a fix:
