I bought a used APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500G for $100 on market place, it was a good deal, I replaced the 2 battery inside and added 4 outside (it is supported), I’m ready!

I sometimes have power outage in winter (snow storm, ice, etc) and working from home I need a UPS ; modem cable, router, PC, monitors, are on it, it can stand ~5h
This is why we have UPS ;-)

Linux@lemmy.ml•"You are in emergency mode. (...) Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked."
11·10 days agoDo you have GRUB? If yes you can edit your kernel command line and append “init=/bin/bash”, see if at least this gives you a prompt, this has saved me a couple of time in the past. Else booting on a USB and mounting your boot partition may help to fix it.
BTW I also have LUKS and I’m using TPM, using tpm2-initramfs-tool, first, it failed because I forgot the tpm modules in initrd, but I always have 2 kernels installed and only modify one initrd at a time to have a safe boot if I have a problem, like I had!
I tested tpm2-initramfs-tool with proper tpm2 modules and it worked.
I also tested with clevis-initramfs and clevis-tpm2 and it’s even easier, no messing with crypttab.
Also, as long as you can break GRUB and append “init=/bin/bash” it is not secure of course, you can then prevent grub editing or not using grub at all.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that the First-Past-The-Post voting system allows a political party to gain an absolute majority with only a minority of the votes
19·13 days agoSame shit in Canada or Quebec, take a look at Quebec 2022, 3 parties got ~15% of the vote, check the number of seats:

This is really infuriating, in Canada this is terrible, like new customer can have their cell plan or internet or whatever at let’s say 35$/month while you are a customer for 20 years and the best they can do is 80$/month.
Funny enough you can port your phone/service to another carrier and the next day the original carrier calls you for a “winback” at 35$/month, silly.
There is a gold Bender too available, but it wasn’t in my store :-/ at least it has the gold chain :)
I haven’t open them yet, but it looks like this brand has good review
There is like 2 browsers, Firefox, or all the chromium based ones?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Ad companies should just cut out the middle man and pay me to watch their ads
26·2 months agooh I did, it was a banner maybe 100 pixels height. I had a small app to make window transparent by clicking on them, so I started the bar, started the app, click the bar, it dissapeared but still registered viewing. I got maybe 25$ after a couple of months
Help, I cannot see the video! It does not start!!!1!!!1!

Technology@lemmy.world•Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US under Trump deal * It will become platform owned by different bastardsEnglish
2·3 months agoNot sure someone knows for the moment, but for sure the US part will have all its data in US data center and all. App can be the same binaries I guess, like Netflix for instance, that use IP/geo location to show you different stuff.

15·3 months agoThere will be a US tiktok algorithm (full of racist white supremacist fascist stuff), and a RestOfTheWorld algorithm (with doorables labubu and other nonsense)
I think you cannot buy or board a one way ticket if you are not a US citizen

Use Ventoy, you can have dozens and dozens of ISO on one stick only, when you boot on it you can select the one you want.
