Easy fix, start giving them a head rub then when they move their head to provide better access to the part they want rubbed or scritched use your other hand to slide the book out.

Ram in use after suspend issue in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] dr_jekell@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Of course it would be a Nvidia driver issue.

Thought about getting a AMD card but as I had only had one major issue with my previous 1070 (that was fixed by reloading my Timeshift snapshot then not upgrading the driver until the next version) so I thought that I would continue with Nvidia.

Eh, I can't change it for now but at least I know what is causing it and can work around it.

Thanks for the assist.

Ram in use after suspend issue (lemmy.world)

So I recently built a new computer to replace my 7 year old one but I have noticed a strange problem with it.

When I boot up the computer and use it as normal it sits around 8-10 GiB of ram in use plus about another 9 GiB committed.

But when I suspend the computer then un-suspend it later the in use ram starts creeping up even if I have less running than I did when I originally booted the computer.

Last time this happened it went from 10 GiB all the way up to about 43 GiB in the space of a few hours.

If I reboot then things go back to normal behavior.

Anyone have any ideas about what I could look for to fix it?

Specs:

  • Manjaro XFCE 25.0.0 Zetar
  • 6.13.8-2 Kernel
  • Gigabyte B860I AORUS PRO ICE ITX Motherboard
  • Intel Core Ultra 5 245KF CPU
  • 64GB DDR5 RAM
  • 2TB M.2 NVMe
Wi-fi not working on Pop os 24.04 cosmic desktop in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I like WiFi access points as they require no special configuration on the computer, can be placed where they get the best signal, due to their larger antennas they get better reception and they often have several LAN ports allowing multiple devices to be connected to it.

If you still want to use a USB or PCIE WiFi then you are best served by looking for a card with intel chip sets as their drivers are included in the Linux kernel so they are often plug and play.

The did explain this in the "Watercare responds" section, in a "we have to word this so it won't cause problems in court" fashion.

The problem is their message was lost in the forest of "oh woah betide this property developer not being able to build" that was most of the article.

The article is 85% about the property developer and what they wanted, very biased and poor reporting.

V6 Web UI password reset (lemmy.world)
 

To save others from a bit of confusion I will make a post here.

The method to change the Web UI is "sudo pihole setpassword"

It will then prompt you for a new password.

Grandstream switch question (lemmy.world)
 

I brought a Grandstream GWN7711P switch a while ago but I have found a rather annoying problem.

When the switch does not have an internet connection it is spamming "router.gwn.cloud" every 2-5 seconds and filling my firewall logs (360+ times in 35 min).

Does anyone know how to disable the cloud connection?

Notebook cover quandary (lemmy.world)
 

There is something I have been wondering.

Various manufacturers regularly put out new notebooks with specialty covers either as a yearly special or a limited edition product.

My question is, why don't they start making covers instead/as well?

Hobonichi, Midori, Kokuyo and some others make basic covers but none make decorated paper, plastic, vinyl or fabric covers that can be moved between notebooks.

It would be nice to be able to get a fabric cover printed with something like Van Gogh's Starry Night.

PSA: MikroTik and Pi-Hole (lemmy.world)
 

Just a PSA: for anyone using a MikroTik router, using it for their DHCP server and are having issues with their devices not using Pi-hole.

If you have set the IP of your Pi-hole as the DNS server and are seeing entries in "dynamic servers" then the router is using your ISP's DNS server causing it to bypass your Pi-Hole.

You need to go to the interface that is supplying your internet connection (PPPoE client, DHCP) and turn off the option "use peer dns".

This will disable dynamic servers and route everything to your Pi-hole.

Weird URL in Pi-Hole logs (lemmy.world)
 

I was looking through my Pi-hole logs and a strange URL is regularly coming up that I can't figure out what it is used for.

Does anyone have any insight?

Tool bar search issue (lemmy.world)
 

I have the search bar added to the toolbar which I use to either search straight from it or use it to bring up google.

It looks like in the latest update you can no longer select the text box, hit enter and get taken to the search page.

You have to enter some text before it does so.

Does anyone else have the same issue?

Mikrotik setup question (lemmy.world)

I have recently upgraded my router from a nearly 7 year old consumer "gaming" router to a Mikrotik RB960PGS router.

So far I have been able to:

  • Remove all configurations
  • Set a long admin password
  • Create a bridge
  • Setup DHCP server
  • Set up NAT
  • Set up Spark NZ fibre connection
  • Update to latest stable firmware (7.15.2)
  • Set up basic IPv4 & IPv6 firewalls
  • Setup NTP & disable cloud/update time
  • Set DNS to my Pi-hole
  • Disabled the following IP services API, API-SSL, FTP, SSH, Telnet, & WWW-SSL
  • Turned off "detect internet"
  • Turned off "use peer dns" so all DNS goes through the Pi-Hole instead of the ISP's DNS servers.

Is there any other "gotcha's" or things that I should be setting up?

Fixed TWSBI Go ink problems (lemmy.world)
 

I brought a TWSBI Go with a fine nib a while ago.

From day two it had issues with the feed drying up extremely quickly when using Diamine Scribble Purple ink.

It dried out slightly slower when using Lamy black ink but for some reason it would fling out drops of ink when uncapped or jostled (so much fun finding random ink blobs on your dark mouse mat).

Tried flushing the pen with water, taking the nib out and cleaning it with soapy water to no effect.

I was about to return the pen but I found a random post that suggested flushing the entire pen with soapy water and cleaning the nibs slit would fix the issue.

Seeing as I had nothing to loose and doing so wouldn't damage the pen I gave it a try. I ended up using some cotton sewing thread to clean the slit as that was all I had to hand.

After cleaning the pen with soapy and clean water, cleaning the nib, drying, reassembling and reinking I gave it another go.

And to my surprise it writes like a dream now and has no random ink going flying.

While I know how I went about fixing the pen wasn't the best method I thought I would post about it anyway.

You are all enablers! (lemmy.world)
 

So a while ago I thought that I would get a Lamy fountain pen to see if it would help with my handwriting.

So off I go looking around at what is available and find the Lamy Safari, then I find the Lamy Al-star which cost a bit more than the Safari and I prefer metal pens due to my gorilla sized hands.

So I buy the Lamy Al-star with a fine nib, some Lamy blue black cartridges and a converter.

Wasn't really happy with the blue black ink (wasn't dark enough) so I went looking and found the Diamine blue black ink which is my new fave.

Got a small bottle of that plus a bottle & cartridges of Lamy black ink and a EF nib for the Al-star.

Time goes on and I see people talking about the TWSBI ECO and the Platinum Preppy pens.

So after some debate I visit my local fine pen and stationary shop (kind of dangerous to my wallet) I am now the owner of a TWSBI ECO with an EF nib, a PP with EF nib, Platinum Pigment Carbon Black Cartridges & a A5 Rhodia Webnotebook.

All was good for a while then I had a need for a better pen to carry in my bag.

So today I purchased an Kaweco AL Sport with EF nib, another Platinum Preppy with a fine nib, a box of Kaweco perl black cartridges and a box of Diamine blue black cartridges.

Hopefully I have enough pens for now but something tells me that I don't.

Manjaro stable, Snaps not working on Kernel 6.8.4-1 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by dr_jekell@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.world

Just a PSA for anyone beating their head against a wall trying to figure out why snaps are not working on their Manjaro stable install.

The current top kernel (6.8.4-1) is bugged and causes snaps to give this error:

error: system does not fully support snapd: cannot mount squashfs image using "squashfs"

Apparently the newer version of the 6.8 kernel available in Manjaro testing works fine.
