Or a molotov cocktail on the server farm! A few of those babies and this is a thing of the past.

Oh hi fbi, what brings you by? Need some snacks for your stakeout van? Boy do I know the feeli... actually I should stop talking and grab those snacks

Wait until you find out that you can type the first letter and it will jump to that position in the list. Then - check this shit out - you can keep pressing that letter to jump through each item in the list. It takes me like 3 seconds.

Now, hold onto your hats, because you won't believe what you can do when picking your state...

Memory loss: it's not all bad!

third-party android modifications*

my family's pixel devices, and mine running gos, don't have this. nor the cell bar style, nor the 'we have to advertise the wifi version so people feel good that bigger number = better' wifi icon style...

the default is just a battery icon, though I have it set on my phone to also show the percent alongside it. this hasn't changed in many years. blame your manufacturer and their skinning and modding.

Should have had Tigger bounce on them instead

I use vaultwarden (passwords, mfa, etc), which moves the point of failure from a device I hold and am at constant risk of dropping, to the server it's running on that has no risk of being dropped. There are people that will scream 'you shouldn't store mfa with your passwords' but if someone already breaches my vault then I have WAY bigger problems, so the argument is moot. Just secure your shit correctly and it's nbd.

Then it becomes a case of data safety and integrity, so raid, snapshots, encrypted backups on and off-site, having those encryption keys accessible in a physical form near the server for recovery...

It's not the fault of the children, but it's definitely because they had children. Two partners (two marriages) who had red flags the size of Texas, I was jumping up and down raising the alarm, and they still decided 'let's have kids, it'll be great for our relationship' which quickly turned into one side realizing 'I can leave, sit on my ass, and collect child support while the dumbass works his hands to the bone'. And then he did it again with partner #2!

Ulterior motives and people being massive pieces of shit is the root cause, but putting their dick in crazy (twice) lit the fuse. Trying to be a good person ('you don't need to get an abortion, I can provide for us, I'll get a second job...') locked him into the scenario he's now dreading.

Yeah, it depends heavily on who I'm with and the relationship status we are in. My Master wants to degrade me? Woof, I'll whine and whimper and pre happily. With basically anyone else, though? You saw those big, thick canine teeth I have when you slid in? You're about to feel them close completely, until you apologize sufficiently and profusely.

(my first post on lemmy so I hope I'm doing this right)

Distro: Spiral Linux (Debian, KDE spin), by recommendation

System: Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 (Intel) (distro recommended as I am looking for Debian(-based), + btrfs, snapshots, and fde, included via the gui installer)

I'm having issues getting ModemManager to unlock my X55 modem. This morning I wiped my drive to install Spiral (KDE), coming from Kubuntu 24.04. While the modem worked after running the proper fcc unlock script in Kubuntu, it is entirely missing in my Spiral install. While I assumed that it would not be that simple, I copied /etc/ModemManager from my Kubuntu live environment to Spiral, ran

sudo ln -sft /etc/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d /usr/share/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.available.d/105b:e0ab

and restarted, but alas that's not enough, so I'm stuck. I have added the network profile + apn to ModemManager (the UI) but of course without the modem unlocked, I can't connect. I'm new to cellular modems in Linux (this was a windows machine until ~6 weeks ago) but I'm otherwise comfortable with the terminal and commands. The modem was working as expected last night in Kubuntu.

I haven't got the system setup yet (trying this first before going further) so if I botch this, an install is no problem. I'm assuming it's either (or both?) a service, or a missing package that sets up what's needed, but I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.

I discussed this here https://lemmy.world/comment/10540509 this morning, though I think I got all the important details typed up above. But maybe it could be useful somehow.

Any suggestions are welcomed :)
