How amazing is the fediverse. There's no going back. Actual, open protocols, that encourage collaboration and sharing without a corporate overlord. I'm so excited and feeling positive for the internet. It's been a long time since I've said that.

OK how did you do that?!

My last post is my attempt, but it was less than ideal.

Amazon Kindle eBook Bulk Downloader: for downloading your Kindle eBooks in a more automated way than is typically permitted, this tool can create backup copies of the books you've already purchased. in c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Definitely. My response was probably a little glib.

Tools like this, that help people escape locked down systems are worth their weight in gold.

Just get a Kobo. Don't support Amazon surveillance

What was your favorite IRL needle drop moment? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 days ago

My son was born. I held him in my arms for the first time. As that happened, outside the window a massive fireworks display kicked off, along a nearby city river. It was that kind of moment. My boy in my arms. Fireworks, silent, but massive and beautiful, just for me. For us.

Bike makers invited to ditch the derailleur for combined motor/gearbox in c/micromobility@lemmy.world

I agree. These are now small motorcycles. I like it. If only they'd ditch the bike facade, and make them look cool. Style em up.

It's fun to watch Ebike's move full circle, back to the little Europe peddle assist bikes of the 50s. Basically the electric versions.

Full gearbox, this is a little motorbike. And why not? Small motorcycles rock.

Samsung microSD not showing in Linux (lemmy.ml)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Hi all,

I have an Intel NUC Skull Canyon. It's running POP_OS!

I purchase a microSD card, and it came with an SD Adaptor.

I've plugged it in, but nothing shows in files.

I have run lsusb, lspci, and even:

sudo lsblk -o MODEL,NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE

However it's just not showing up anywhere.

The microSD is brand new, and a model called:

SAMSUNG 512 EVO Plus A2 V30.

I am not sure if the card is maybe so new, that linux can't see it yet? I doubt that.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas? I don't have another SD Adaptor, nor any other computer with an SD or microSD slot.

Thanks so muchy

Are there any XMPP clients that support Send Later / Delayed Delivery? (lemmy.ml)
 

We are trying to leave Telegram, but we rely heavily on Send Later. Checking, it appears the system supports it, but I am struggling to find a client that has it built in. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

How to set up laptop for corporate usage, so contents can be erased. (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi all, we are hiring a remote worker and will be supplying a laptop to them. The laptop will be running a Debian variant of Linux on it.

We are a small shop and this is the first time we have entrusted somebody outside of our small pool of trusted employees.

We have sensitive client data on the laptop that they need to access for their day-to-day work.

However, if something goes wrong, and they do the wrong thing, we want to be able to send out some kind of command or similar, that will completely lock, block, or wipe the sensitive data.

We don't want any form of spying or tracking. We are not interested in seeing how they use the computer, or any of the logs. We just want to be able to delete that data, or block access, if they don't return the laptop when they leave, or if they steal the laptop, or if they do the wrong thing.

What systems are in place in the world of Linux that could do this?

Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated? Thank you.
