There’s so much missing history in early tech. This article reminds me of Ahoy’s video on YouTube about the first video game.

You can run commands, so systemctl poweroff should work to turn off your computer (on Linux, not sure how KDE Connect works on Windows, but I’d assume there’s an equivalent)

A quick search led me to Passbolt which has multiple user support, native installs for both Debian and Fedora (you’ll need to add their repo manually, though) and an Android app, so it seems to fit all your criteria.

Just curious, are there any specific reasons you wish to avoid docker?

Just like Mark Messier, he can’t eat just one

ACTUAL IMPORTANT ADDITION:

Okay, in saying the following, I recognize that this is going to sound pretty “out there”, especially if you’re someone who is younger on the internet.

And I will preface what I am about to say with some credentials: I am an Internet Old. I am also someone who is paid professionally to work in the horror genre from time to time. I am also someone who has studied psychology, as well as studying some NLP-type shit (that I do not find ethical in the slightest, as an aside, and I quickly noped out of)…

I also want to let you know upfront that what I will tell you is NOT to make you worry or feel afraid. I am sharing this info only so that you can “see through the curtain” as it were, and recognize media and stories like this for what it actually is.

The tl;dr is - please be very criticial of any online horror story that does not provide a sense of catharsis or release at the end, or at the very least a sense of closure or ending. Or anything that is about someone giving up control.

Why? Because creepypasta stories like this may seem merely surreal and/or hilarious to you, but shit like this is actually subliminally priming you to be more easily manipulated and controlled.

And a lot of these types of stories are absolutely aimed at teens and pre-teens, or college kids, fyi. There is also a really good video by Ann Reardon about of stories being told over brightly coloured baking videos. Mostly though, these stories are about and aimed at WOMEN.

Basically, this story is linking a fear response (a sewer man! - that sounds bad and weird at first) with a violent action - or a taking away of rights/possessions (the coffee that gets poured in the sewer) that comes from someone with power (the soldier) who is “solving a problem” (thinking rationally - how would coffee dumped in the sewer fucking help anyone?!?!) where the victim (the woman) is shown how the solider is “right” to do what he did.

The subliminal lesson here is that the solider does what he wants to do, because “he knows better” than the civilian girl. This story basically ends on the action of “the soldier did the right thing” and there is no real catharsis or sense of ending. You know, the kind of message that implies “be scared, rely on those in power”. The idea that we should just comply.

And, as a thought exercise: the story would be so, so much different if it were a sweet little old lady that took the coffee. The initial scare/weirdness factor could still be there, but it wouldn’t have that same ‘heaviness’ feeling to it, you know?

Please just think smartly about media, okay?

I mean, they are out of touch, but don’t believe for a second that they don’t know what they’re doing.

For example, why would a politican regulate the housing market and bolster tenants’ rights when they and a bunch of their buddies are making bank?

I haven’t heard of anyone using FRAPS in like a decade! Last I checked (which admittedly is a couple of years ago now) OBS seemed to be the screen recording tool of choice.

It seems to me like you’ve kinda made up your mind and are just waiting for someone to back you up before dropping the cash for the Vero :P

With the criteria you’ve listed, I doubt you’ll find a better solution. I say go for it (as long as you can afford it)!

Did you bother opening the link? This project is clearly much more elaborate than simply synchronising notes.

Don’t quote me on this, but I think you’d have to add --volumes

It renders a lot better on my phone, but this is why reader mode is a necessary feature for browsing the web on a smartphone.

Hey don’t apologize for offering free help to a stranger online! It’s much appreciated. uname -r returns “6.7.0-zen3-1-zen”, but like I said I had this issue with the standard Linux kernel as well.

Nothing stands out to me when I run dmesg in terms of errors. I’m not sure which part is the audio hardware chipset, so here is the output relating to audio. I’m running both the built-in CPU audio and GPU audio through HDMI.

Edit: Forgot to add my ALSA and Pipewire packages. For ALSA I got:

alsa-card-profiles alsa-firmware alsa-lib alsa-plugins alsa-topology-conf alsa-ucm-conf alsa-utils lib32-alsa-lib lib32-alsa-plugins pipewire-alsa tinycompress

and for Pipewire:

gst-plugin-pipewire kpipewire libpipewire libwireplumber pipewire pipewire-audio pipewire-jack pipewire-pulse wireplumber

It wasn’t, but this still doesn’t fix the issue. I’m honestly perplexed and might just deal with triple reinstalling alsa-utils after every reboot. I’ll probably start from a fresh install soon enough anyway :P

It definitely is! I’m a noob but I do know enough to read through the relevant Arch Wiki page before bothering people for help.

Sadly, everything on that page is either irrelevant to my issues or hasn’t worked.

The list has been added to haveibeenpwned.com, you can check your passwords here.

In what scenario would you need to type in a password on a non-smart TV though? Parental lock?

Nope, I’ve checked and I don’t have any PulseAudio, JACK, or other audio packages that could interfere. This install has only ever used PipeWire for audio.

Could be kernel related, I don’t know. That’d be quite over my head, but I’ve had this issue using both the standard linux kernel and the zen kernel.

I didn’t see anything in journalctl’s logs that relates to audio as far as I can tell.

Reinstalling alsa utils twice? Interesting and weird.

Want to know what’s even more fun? I need to re-install alsa-utils thrice now after properly enabling pipewire.service like I did on that other comment thread :P

I imagine they’d rather you use their mobile apps than navigate to the website via a browser. They can collect more data on you that way.

So this comment made me realize pipewire.service wasn’t enabled (I had to use the command ‘systemctl --now enable pipewire --user’ as the ones you provided didn’t work on my system.)

It’s up and running now, but after a reboot I still have the same issue.

Yeah, I included that in the title, should have restated it in the body though!
