Questions related to blocking users and domains. (kbin.social)
 

I've noticed a few things when blocking users.

  1. If i block user A, then any post/thread by that user A is not shown. So lets say a thread has posts by user A and other people respond to him, all the replies to user A are hidden and only other peoples replies in the thread is visible.

  2. If user A made link posts, they are all hidden including every reply to his thread.

When blocking a domain, i see that communities from that domain still show up in all. I'm confused how to block all communities from a particular domain.

Instead of completely hiding the threads, links and replies to banned users, can the blocked user's post/replies/threads be replaced with a spoiler that the user is blocked in preferences?

i think i read something similar on reddit years back. someone was arrested and everything was in japanese and he couldn't read anything. the police and lawyers were asking him to plead guilty or something and he was adamant on a lawyer which he never got. he was in jail for months i think.

Is there any media cataloging software in linux that automatically shows which files don't have 2 or more copies? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

yes, can't connect all hdd to laptop so only using 1 drive at one time in an external enclosure. some drives are portable drives, some are internal drives. its a mix of internal and external drives.

Is there any media cataloging software in linux that automatically shows which files don't have 2 or more copies? (kbin.social)
 

I lost 2-3 hdd's due to old age and lost all data on them. Some other 2-3 hdd's make a lot of noise while in operation and probably failing. I use VVV to catalog the stuff and to see which files have 2-3 copies, i need to manually search each file name. It's really tedious. I was wondering if there is another program that does this automatically. I let it scan the hdd's and it makes catalogs of each hdd and tells me which files don't have duplicates when i press a button. I have like 18 hdds ranging from 500GB to 4TB full of data so manually searching is too much work now.

[SOLVED] Linux app which downloads torrent from begginning to end and allows me to watch the torrent as I am downloading it. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

just select only one episode if its a series. after the episode downloads, watch it to see if the quality is good or not. if it's good, you can select the rest of the files to download. you can do this in transmission, qbittorrent or deluge.

Apologies don't help much. The two women should ask for full refund of money spent plus additional $10k each for forced cleaning. Fuck the pilot and the supervisor.

After a supervisor reiterated that they would have to sit in the soiled seats, the two women were “reluctantly” provided blankets, wipes and vomit bags to clean the area themselves, according to Benson.

Why don't the sports federations just make a new trans category? Instead of all these medical tests for years and other complicated things, make a new category. Instead of only one person playing, let 10 other trans people play.

Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled? (kbin.social)
 

I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

How can i advertise and get people to subscribe to my magazine? (kbin.social)
 

My magazine @GooglePlayDeals has no subscribers except me. Most probably because it's new and was just created a few days back and I don't know how to advertise it on kbin. On the other site, there were subs we could link to to get subscribers.

I've seen some people who have their magazine name next to their username. How do they do that? Probably saw it on lemmy world i think.

How do I shut off bluetooth completely in Linux Mint 21.2? (kbin.social)

Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon.

I am using powertop to view what is using my laptop battery the most and it seems the bluetooth adaptop is using around 5W. I turned BT off in settings and also in /etc/bluetooth i changed the config file main.conf to not autostart bluetooth.
Even after doing this and a couple restarts, powertop still shows BT using 3-5W power.

I searched the bios but didnt find any option to disable the bluetooth device. The only advanced options are wrt frequencies and transmit power settings. Does this mean I cant switch off BT completely?

edit: using quotes instead of code because code doesn't work well. i havent striked out anything. the kbin editor is striking out text by itself. o.0
