    Does Linux remember previous network share connections?

    I'm using the Connect to Server command in Nemo to connect to mainly Windows shares and it works well but even tho I check the remember password box it doesn't seem to remember anything. Is there a way to establish connections and have them remembered? Like Remmina does so from then on it's just...

    Kernel confusion

    Linux Mint Cinnamon. A couple of days ago it updated the kernel to 6.5.0-15-generic. today there's a kernel update to 5.15.0-92.102. Looks like a downgrade to me. Anybody know what's going on? Should I stick with what I have or install the "update" ? :confused: Google sucks worse and worse...

    Dual monitors problem

    Linux assigns monitor 0 as the monitor connected to the HDMI port. The other monitor is connected to the DP port and is monitor 1. Nothing will change this, it's set in concrete as far as I can tell. If I could reverse it, it night solve my problem. My problem is Linux insists on opening most...

    What is "Wall Mountable" ?????????????????????????????

    I'm looking for a monitor with a VESA mount. The kind that bolts to a monitor arm. Viewsonic seems to be the only brand that advertises that their monitor have a VESA mount. But I'm wondering about all the "Wall Mountable" monitors that are out there. Can these be used with a standard monitor...

    Why did Microsoft remove the photo viewer from Windows?

    Stupid move on their part as far as I'm concerned. I went looking for either a replacement or a way to make the old photo viewer work with Win 10 and above. I found that both were possible and settled on a free program called "Honeyview". It's basically the same as the old photo viewer and is...

    Any soldering experts here? Need help.

    I have a Supermicro X12STL-IF mini ITX motherboard with a mangled, destroyed CMOS battery holder. I'm trying to replace the holder but I can't get 2 of the 3 broken off pegs to let go of the holes. One came out fairly easily but the other 2 won't let go. Soldering iron gets plenty hot and I'm...

    Just transitioned another box over to Linux

    This particular Windows 7 install dated back to when 7 first came out so to say the least it was dated. 2 things kept me from doing it before now. I have a Dymo label printer hooked to it along with a Fujitsu scanner. I knew there was no software available for either but decided to see if there...

    Program to edit video file metadata in Linux?

    I've tried VLC which as usual is qa steaming pile of shit. It pretends to save it but it really doesn't. No surprise, VLC has always been a steaming pile of shit. I've tried Audacity. It will allow me to edit the metadata but apparently saves only apply to audio and not video. Googling reveals...

    Why Lord, why?

    Computer cables are either too long or too short, never just right. Ordered a couple of SAS breakout cables. Thought 1.6 foot was long enough. Nope, they're about 2 inches too short. Now I gotta order the 3 foot versions which will be too long. Why Lord, why? :(

    I'll say one thing for Linux Mint

    I've never had an OS that updates as frequently as Mint does. Some days it's an all day affair, one update after another all day long. Today has started out with a kernel update. Never had a problem with an update and most don't require a reboot so I'm not complaining, just making an observation.

    eBay sellers, what's there game???????

    I run across this crap all the time. I just bought 2 2TB SAS 12G hard drives from eBay for $15 each with free shipping. Both drives are pristine with low mileage. They're EMC drives so I had to use sg_utils to format them to 512 but that's no big deal. Just found another seller selling the...

    Linux Backup Tool doesn't seem to work very well :(

    I attempted to backup my daily driver to a Windows Server and the transfer rate was worse than abysmal. It literally took 3 minutes to copy one song. I then aborted and did a regular copy of the backup and it proceeded normally, speed was quite good. Is this the nature of the beast or did I do...

    Totally fucking useless and stupid. When you want to capture a selection that you need to scroll down the web page to get to the stupid fucking program jumps back to the top of the page when you hit "Selection" and there's no way to move back down the page to make the selection. :dead:

    TrueNAS Core or TrueNAS Scale, which should I go with?

    I have one TrueNas box running Core and I'm putting together another and need to decide if maybe scale would be a better choice. As i understand it, Core is kinda sucky when it comes to Jails and addins whereas Core isn't. At this point I really don't use the OS for anything other than a NAS but...

    Can anything be done about this iPhone bullshit?

    I don't mind auto correct, if I misspell a word, sure, correct it. But why the hell does the iPhone change correctly spelled words to suit whatever horseshit political agenda Apple may have? Is there a way to keep auto correct but tell it not to fuck with words that aren't misspelled?
