Extra drivers on Fedora Atomic install (sh.itjust.works)

Hi folks,

I downloaded Aurora (https://getaurora.dev/) the other day with the intention of installing it on my 2013 MacBook Pro.

It wasn't until I got to the install screen when I realized that I have no networking.

I currently have Manjaro installed on this laptop, and I remember having to connect via Bluetooth to my phone to download and the Broadcom BCM4360 drivers.

Is there a good way to bake that into the image prior to installing?

Either that or I can try downloading the driver over Bluetooth again, but then I'll need to use a command to somehow layer it on top of the existing image? (rpm-ostree?)

Sorry if I'm missing some command or documentation, but it is a little more confusing trying out these immutable distros.

Has anyone else out there run into this issue and worked around it?

I've had a couple of passengers open the door using the latch because they didn't know about the Open Door button.

I'm not saying it's a good design (it's dumb) but you can get out when there is no power

Custom Linux Distribution just for Gaming by thefool in c/linux@programming.dev

First time hearing about Universal Blue, but I have heard of Bazzite before.

I'm drumming up the courage to replace my Manjaro install with Aurora, and replace my Mint desktop with Bazzite+developer tools.

Is it easy/possible to install the Bazzite tweaks on top of Aurora?

Also, my desktop has an Nvidia card.. should I expect problems?

Stop Google search when visiting intranet site? (sh.itjust.works)

We have a few sites on our intranet at work that I constantly end up searching on Google instead of visiting the site.

If I type in the address bar

https://site.work/customers/12345

it will navigate just fine, but if I just type

site.work/customers/12345

it executes a Google search

Is there any way for me to add a whitelist for a given hostname? I don't want to turn keyword.enabled off.. I only want to turn it off for one site.

Why are SMS messages so expensive? by thefool in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] thefool@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 months ago

Unlimited SMS is on most cell phone plans nowadays, at least in Canada.

On a slightly different tack: I run a website, and I choose not to implement SMS for notifications - only email. Email is free. Adding SMS, even at $0.007 per message, could add up to big bucks.

I switched from Transmission to qBittorrent a while ago, and I have some regrets: mainly that the qBittorrent web ui is extremely hard to navigate on mobile. Everything is tiny, and I can't zoom in and navigate around the page without right-click menus popping up

https://www.boardgamearena.com has a bunch of board games, if you're into that. I've played a bunch using my phone, and it works just fine.

A number of games require a premium membership, but there's quite a few that are free

The greatest traffic ticket by thefool in c/memes@lemmy.ml

[-] thefool@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

112km in a 64km zone for all you metric folks.

Damn they must have been hungry.

In Ontario that's 2km short of a speed racing charge where they can seize your car and fine you $10000

What should we do about license violations in apps that rely on work of Lemmy contributors? by thefool in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

[-] thefool@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

I believe it's up to the license holder to enforce it.

So notifying the respective projects can't hurt, but if they refuse to comply, and the copyright owner of lemmy-js-client doesn't care, then the code is probably licensed incorrectly

Is this the new /r/atheism? (sh.itjust.works)

Since I've abandoned Reddit, I find myself looking for content similar to what I was subscribed to on there.

This looks to be the most active of the Lemmy transplants, so it looks like I'll do my lurking here instead on some other Lemmy community.

As much as a shitshow it's turning out to be over there, I am thankful for Reddit and for having had /r/atheism as a default sub, otherwise it would have taken me a little longer to become atheist
