Wow that is a gorgeous image

Hopefully the one in BC gets closes also

I meant the USB power coming from dock to charge port on laptop. If you mean USB (thunderbolt) out for display then it migtht not be bidirectional for power. My HP has a USB-C thunderbolt but the power cord has the USBC and barrel power in one plug since the USBC can’t charge the laptop.

WSL is fine for doing ssh type stuff or simple things but it is wonky for full distro use experience.

Did indexing get triggered?

I have an HP zbook. Fan did that a few times, almost like it didn’t recognize power control and defaulted to a higher fan speed. Booting to windows and then back to Linux fixed it. Not sure why.

Is the office and thee charge rated at enough wattage, and is the USB cable a heavy duty power cable intended for the machine or some cheap cable?

Uni students temporarily need passes to leave campus grounds…wow…we take our freedom for granted

You can have mountains i n BC, you don’t need to live downtown Vancouver to see them. Lots of rural areas

Yes, especially If you are established in an area with a community. We moved across country East side to West side. You lose family, friends, and it is hard to reintegrate since people already have their own circles. Job changes or job hunting, plus costs of moving drain your accounts.

Lenovo did this when they bought Iomega NAS devices. The final firmware before they ended support added google ads to the web admin interface. So now I have it booting Debian and OpenMediaVault, bye bye Lenovo.

Could be because the decision to move and be accepted takes time and some of the biden moves were initiated by the trump presidency

SID was a chip with both digital and analog sides to the die and can do a lot of things still, making them sought after. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOS_Technology_6581

I was lucky that my work software had a Linux version, so since 2017 was able to use Linux all day. Recently I needed Windows for a software. It is hell dealing with Windows interface again (it has a terrible workflow), and constant push of nonsense AI in apps, etc

Hawaii. Beautiful scenery, culture, food. Florida has a beach yes , but also ugly cities and some terrible. floridians

I Bussed tables a long time ago. Plate stacking was helpful if the patron did it as plates only, but some patrons try handing you a stack of plates that have silverware sandwiched in between and it makes it precarious

Awesome

Lots of software can manipulate PDF. Open PDF in libredraw change pages,print as PDF or export as PDF. A system that skims content is purposely going to bypass any signed restriction.

Edit: Here’s how to bypass restriction in Paperless OCR.

The parameter PAPERLESS_OCR_USER_ARGS: ‘{“invalidate_digital_signatures”: true}’ in the context of Paperless-ngx and OCRmyPDF allows OCR processing of PDF documents that have been digitally signed by intentionally invalidating those signatures. In its standard configuration, OCRmyPDF does not process documents with digital signatures so as not to compromise their integrity. Setting this parameter to true allows OCR on such documents

Unless you have lots of cash, then you just come in to Quebec via the investor immigrant route, get your PR and move to another province

Hmm. I did have one machine that would install from USB but would not boot after. Turned outbit was a hardware glitch deb and deb derived distros could not get past, so I found RPM based worked fine as did NixOS (weirdly)

This is my favorite reading of it. Gives me goosebumps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESWzPhZWYeI
