I could switch the mesh network over to being the primary, or dig out one of my old routers, which I need to get on openwrt at some point. One runs tomato, one is stock
When a monitor is plugged in externally to a laptop, and the laptop is in the BIOS/UEFI, how often does the BIOS/UEFI show on A)The external monitor B)The laptop screen C) Both?
@Biswapriyo i've heard of linux from scratch, that's probably pretty small but requires some DIY.
now, onto my real problem… I work off a usb ssd, and it keeps randomly crashing, and after that my laptop doesn't post while I have it plugged in. replugging it doesn'r work, hard reset by removing battery and replugging it does
I hoped that bios update would fix it, but it's still persisting
@DavidPostill It's not a drive issue, I've actually bought a second SSD recently, both have the same issue. My other computer (a random dell) with same cable and drive also doesn't have this issue.
I've ordered a sata -> dvd slot caddy, but it'll take a while to get here.
I was going to get one from inside the country, but none of them had one thin enough. Lenovo made a bad design choice and made the slot thinner than 9.5 by a couple millimeters, so I had to find one that's 9.0mm.
@Ave out of interest, I see you are 'she', but why have you explicitly written that your pronoun is 'she'? Have you taken any gender hormones to convert your body from one thing to another?
@bwDraco Ay. Might actually be Google Captcha in this case actually
Medium has the latest version which constantly evaluates whether or not you're a bot in the background
It pops up in the lower right corner of the page when I enter my email address. Gives me an image-captcha if I enter a gmail address and if I solve the captcha I get emailed the log-in link
But if I use email hosted with my own domain, it... just redirects me to the previous page
On Linux, is there a way to figure out what process was using a port,
before it went into TIME_WAIT state.
When I use netstat -tnp I just see two end points, but no process information.

Chaos plagues the land. In the West, the King in Orange blusters and bloviates endlessly in barely comprehensible gibberish. Perhaps he is attempting to call forth the Elder Gods? In the East, the Queen of Mayflies glowers menacingly and shakes a vaguely pole-shaped object1 at friend, not foe. Th...

Okay... this is bizarre. Three (identical) laptops in a row have prevented me from using the keyboard on the boot menu when trying to boot from a USB, but when I restart and try to enter the boot menu again it flickers the menu for a second then boots from the USB anyway.
Would a question asking why modern laptops don't have swipe fingerprint sensors anymore be well-received, or would it be too broad? If the latter, what can I do to make it less broad?
I've noticed that almost every laptop sold in my area from the mid-late 2000s until around 2012 or so (i.e. the era of Windows 8) had a built-in fingerprint sensor, all the way from lower-end "multimedia" home PCs to higher-end business machines. But in the early 2010s, that started disappearing.
When I last went to a computer store, there was only one laptop that had a fingerprint sensor, and it wasn't the "swipe" kind that used to be extremely common back in the Windows Vista/7 days.
Simply multiply it with -1:
set /a A=1 + 2
set /a A=%A%*-1
echo A=%A%
