What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?
  • I had to use unity game engine for one of my assignments for school, but unity wouldn't generate files needed for the language server unless I set the code editor to vscode. I fixed this by creating a bash script with the path /usr/bin/code that opens neovim in konsole.

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    konsole -e "nvim $@"
    
  • Today I'm grateful I'm using Linux - Global IT issues caused by Crowdstrike update causes BSOD on Windows
  • heres the entire article

    Latest Crowdstrike Update Issue: Many Windows users are experiencing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors due to a recent CrowdStrike update. The issue affects various sensor versions, and CrowdStrike has acknowledged the problem and is investigating the cause, as stated in a pinned message on the company's forum.
    Who Have Been Affected
    Australian banks, airlines, and TV broadcasters first reported the issue, which quickly spread to Europe as businesses began their workday. UK broadcaster Sky News couldn't air its morning news bulletins, while Ryanair experienced IT issues affecting flight departures. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all Delta, United, and American Airlines flights due to communication problems, and Berlin airport warned of travel delays from technical issues.
    In India too, numerous IT organisations were reporting in issues with company-wide. Akasa Airlines and Spicejet experienced technical issues affecting online services. Akasa Airlines' booking and check-in systems were down at Mumbai and Delhi airports due to service provider infrastructure issues, prompting manual check-in and boarding. Passengers were advised to arrive early, and the airline assured swift resolution. Spicejet also faced problems updating flight disruptions, actively working to fix the issue. Both airlines apologized for the inconvenience caused and promised updates as soon as the problems were resolved.
    Crowdstrike's Response
    CrowdStrike acknowledged the problem, linked to their Falcon sensor, and reverted the faulty update. However, affected machines still require manual intervention. IT admins are resorting to booting into safe mode and deleting specific system files, a cumbersome process for cloud-based servers and remote laptops. Reports from IT professionals on Reddit highlight the severity, with entire companies offline and many devices stuck in boot loops. The outage underscores the vulnerability of interconnected systems and the critical need for robust cybersecurity solutions. IT teams worldwide face a long and challenging day to resolve the issues and restore normal operations.
    What to Expect:

    -A Technical Alert (TA) detailing the problem and potential workarounds is expected to be published shortly by CrowdStrike.
    -The forum thread will remain pinned to provide users with easy access to updates and information.

    What Users Should Do:

    -Hold off on troubleshooting: Avoid attempting to fix the issue yourself until the official Technical Alert is released.
    -Monitor the pinned thread: This thread will be updated with the latest information, including the TA and any temporary solutions.
    -Be patient: Resolving software conflicts can take time. CrowdStrike is working on a solution, and updates will be posted as soon as they become available.

    In an automated reply from Crowdstrike, the company had stated: CrowdStrike is aware of reports of crashes on Windows hosts related to the Falcon Sensor. Symptoms include hosts experiencing a blue screen error related to the Falcon Sensor. The course of current action will be - our Engineering teams are actively working to resolve this issue and there is no need to open a support ticket. Status updates will be posted as we have more information to share, including when the issue is resolved.
    For Users Experiencing BSODs:
    If you're encountering BSOD errors after a recent CrowdStrike update, you're not alone. This appears to be a widespread issue. The upcoming Technical Alert will likely provide specific details on affected CrowdStrike sensor versions and potential workarounds while a permanent fix is developed.
    If you have urgent questions or concerns, consider contacting CrowdStrike support directly.

    April Fools Day is the dumbest holiday in existence
  • For me, the thing i find most annoying about april fools are the days afterwards. I don't know if a piece of recently uploaded media is actually real or satire until I check the date its uploaded.

  • Does any one know what these pins do on skytech gaming fans

    ! !

    I have a skytech gaming prebuilt pc (don't ask why prebuilt, it was out of my control). I find the fans extremely loud and annoying.

    I'm trying to figure out what each of the pins do so I can connect it to the case fan pins on the motherboard instead of wherever the prebuilt connected it. I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything about what function each pin serves. I also had a multimeter and battery and I figured out that the rightmost pin is positive and the second rightmost pin is ground, but I have no idea what the other 3 pins do. The center pin I measured at 5 volts, but when I connected the fan and measured again, there was no potential difference.

    Does anyone knows any information about this 5 pin connector or knows where I can find documentation/specification?

    Also if there are any other ways to make the case fans not run at 100% power all the time, please let me know.

    what if you are the nth person on line?
  • That person down the line is probably thinking they can pull it now and kill a lot of people or someone even farther down the line is going to pull it resulting in the death of a huge amount of people
