Guy made a blasphemous remark, and a religious mob went to lynch him. Police arrested him for safety, but actually they executed him instead.
  • Ok so it happened in Pakistan, a majority muslin population, where the punishment for blasphemy ranges from a fine to the death penalty. The religion of peace thinks it's ok to kill someone for saying something bad about some guy, who may or may not have existed as long time ago. Just think about that for more than a minute and tell me that's not crazy.

  • I don't know maybe the fact that a lynch mob exists in the first place, and the whole blashemy thing been the root cause, maybe people need a bit more critical thinking and less brainwashing from religion.

    (Solved!) Data recovery, point me in the right direction?
  • External drive? Is it a usb drive? If it is you might be best pulling out the drive and connecting it to a sata port. The mount as read only and do what everyone else suggests

    Steam Deck gets stuck on "connecting" to WiFi among other weirdness, persists after factory reset. Basically a paperweight at this point, please help.
  • If it works fine on other networks then it's your router provided by the ISP that's the problem. If you can try setting 2.4 and 5Ghz networks to separate SSIDs with different passwords. I've got a couple of devices on my network that refuse to work if the networks are combined. You could try a different WiFi access point, an older unifi can be picked up cheap on eBay on if it's just for testing. I was having similar issues with a Nintendo switch whilst working away, the hotels WiFi was just messed up

    Voter ID rule may have stopped 400,000 taking part in UK election, poll suggests
  • But who is going to go through the process of obtaining a student ID just to commit voting fraud. Even if they are rotating the person checking the ID once an hour, eventually they will be recognised or get to a point where the person they are impersonating has already voted, all for what 10? 15? extra votes

    eBay makes you wait a week to rate a sale as anything other than positive.
  • I had a fake item sent to me, reported to eBay to request a refund, got an immediate refund, seller asked to return the item. I said no, its fake I'll bin it. Left negative feedback that the items are fake. eBay then removed the review and let the seller keep selling. At least he had one less item to sell and was out of pocket on postage

    Getting Fiber - Please Help Me Understand Routers
  • I went through this at the beginning of the year, it get 900/900 fibre, settled on openwrt running on a nanopi r4s. My other options were a nanopi r6s with openwrt, or nuc type hardware/server running something like pfsence/opnsence etc. The openwrt install took about 5mins then a couple of hours of exploring various menus options etc, which I didnt end up changing.

    Alpine Linux on NanoPi R6S
  • The r4s doesn't have eMMC where as the r6s does. I just left the SD card as rw, I'm not too concerned about failure, I'm hoping for some wear leveling built in, if not SD cards are cheap. I should probably clone the disk and have a cold spare SD card.

    Storage wise I'm using 17. 63MiB of 29.38GiB, I think I may have bought a too big SD card Ram usage is around 88MiB of 3.87GiB I have got a couple of more things to set up like wireguard but as it stands I'm glad I went the openwrt route over a full server install

    Alpine Linux on NanoPi R6S
  • I looked at the nanopi r4s and the r6s when I replaced my router. I did consider doing it all myself but in the end settled on the r4s running opwenwrt, I think it took all of 5mins from download to working system. The benefit been the openwrt image has uboot included so only one image need writing, also web interface out of the box

    Don't think of it as an installation, it's writing image files to disk. I prefer using gparted or disks when working with partitions. Then use dd for the actual writing as I can quite easily see I've got the right partition from gparted/disks. Got that wrong a couple of times 😅
