Is this an US-specific problem?

Monthly salaries with hourly compensation for overtime is a thing too

Power strips can be grounded or ungrounded.

This particular power strip has ground pins on the outlets, but they’re not connected to anything , making the power strip both dangerous and illegal. OP should notify the seller and relevant authorities.

Yeah that was my assumption. But I hadn’t considered WOL being broadcast, so now I’m not so sure. I would assume it’s broadcast on both IP and Ethernet layer. It’s time to do some wiresharking :)

Maybe something else going on then, but ive never gotten WOL to work after a blackout when there’s two switches between sender and receiver. After powering up the receiver once, WOL works again

If you’re already using node-red, the Wake On Lan node works well, and with node-red it’s easy to trigger the magic packet based on whatever trigger condition you want.

The only limitation I know is WOL doesn’t work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn’t know where to find the target machine

Thanks for the tips on reusable enterprise cards btw

In math class when learning statistics we learned “the law of large numbers” , how with enough samples the average approaches the probability. Then applied it to two real world examples, gambling (lottery and roulette) and insurance. The math was the same, and the house always wins because the house deals in large numbers.

The takeaway is that gambling is stupid because the house always wins.

But also, statistics do not apply to individuals, so insurance is not stupid. At least not for life-altering expenses, like home, medical and traffic.

Wonder what’s the reasoning behind offering this Lite version. I don’t imagine competing with Vaultwarden is very lucrative financially.

… You need Windows to use government websites? What kind of dystopian nightmare is this

Well today I learned.
I didn’t think “third party” like homebrew would be preferred over ostree-rpm, but makes sense that you shouldn’t change too much from the tested main image.

For anybody else, here’s the exact caveats with rpm-ostree: https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/rpm-ostree/#major-caveats-using-rpm-ostree

Personally I mainly used it for fcitx5 language input method some years ago, but I see now that fcitx5 is included in Bazzite, and also that it should work as a flatpak or in distrobox, https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/2996

For keyboard, if you’re still having trouble, you can try connecting from the terminal with the command bluetoothctl . Terminal commands often tell you more details than GUIs about why things failed.

Regarding distributions, you are on Bazzite, which is an immutable distribution, meaning the root file system is read-only. That makes it a bit different from “normal” distribution. The upshot is that most things should just work and the system is harder to break. The downside is that you sometimes have to jump through more hoops and do things differently from “normal” distributions when you want to do some deeper level tinkering.

If you search for “How to do X in Bazzite” you might get fewer results because Bazzite is relatively new and niche (though growing quickly).
If you search for “How to do X on Linux” you might find that the steps don’t work because you’re root filesystem is read-only.
So sometimes you need to search for “How to do X on Silverblue” , because Bazzite is (sort of) based on Fedora Silverblue, which is the immutable version of Fedora distribution.

If you want to install some software that you can’t find in the app store (Flathub) or as AppImage, your next step is to look up the command rpm-ostree. It layers new software on top of your read-only root system. Changes from rpm-ostre take effect on the next reboot

Can recommend, Dolphin makes life on windows slightly more tolerable. Kate for Windows is also amazing
