Lol, a lot, but not that many. Mostly docker shit filling up /var from containers I'd tried running or run for a while and got bored of. Just needed a good docker prune -a --volumes.

Thanks, but I'm an idiot. I dug around a little and realized I was low on disk space and running a badly outdated version. All good now.

 

I've been running a docker-based linkding instance on one of my servers for a couple years now, using it with the linkding firefox extension, and it's been awesome. I'm still able to access the page and use it to go to links normally, but, as of yesterday, when I try to bookmark something with the extension it throws an "Internal Server Error" and fails to save it. Same thing happens when I try to add a bookmark "manually" via the linkding page.

I've restarted the docker instance and made sure the alpine VM it's on (via proxmox) is up to date, but to no avail. Other containers on the VM seem to be working fine. Portainer says the container is healthy. The full error message is "Error saving bookmark: Request error: Internal Server Error." Anyone had the same problem?

Do some searches on "kiosk" software. That's the general term of art for machines that are intended to run a single program/interface. As for distros, you'll want something light and easy to maintain, ideally with automatic updates. Debian's an obvious pick. Alpine could be great for something like this. Gentoo could be awesome too, but there's a serious learning curve involved.

Did it currently have windows installed? If so, have you turned off secure boot and fastboot?

If you've done all that already, then maybe try adding nomodeset to the kernel parameters in grub. You can find instructions by searching how to set kernel parameters. It's fairly easy, but kind of a pain to explain.

Seems a little on the nose.

I wouldn’t mind there being a whole community devoted to pointing out shit that is poorly designed or just broken

But isn't that every linux forum?

Yep, I've got a stack of 5-10 year old optiplexes (optiplexi?) running proxmox.

I assume they're referring to her being an outspoken socialist as an adult.

Yes, you can use it fully offline.

To back it up I believe you'd just need to backup your .pass and .gnupg directories.

I haven't used keepass, but the entry from the archwiki should give you a good idea of usage, and it also lists some helper apps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass

In the US, many public universities allow access to the public, including use of computer terminals that will allow access to paid databases. In many cases, you could bring in a usb stick and save copies of articles downloaded from such databases, or at worst you could pay a small fee to print some stuff out. AFAIK, that kind of access varies state by state though, so you need to call university libraries near you to find out.

 

WaPo finally responds with this hack piece. N.B. the anonymously sourced paragraph:

Several congressional officials familiar with previous testimony that Grusch provided in classified hearings have said they were unable to substantiate or corroborate his claims that the U.S. government secretly runs a program to recover and reverse engineer crashed alien vessels.

 

Rubio makes statements that seemingly support Grusch's revelations, along with other very interesting tidbits.
