  1. Just back from measuring our latitude (which I do roughly four times a year) and, for the first time, our longitude.

    Latitude was pretty good, got to within about 15 km.

    Longitude less good. Got about 6.8 degrees, but the actual value is about 3 degrees.

    Wondering what went wrong ... need to think about how to "fix" that.

  3. @RcrdSgrd Could you tell more details about the device, name / type and hardware configuration (CPU, RAM, GPU, Screen Size).

    I had simply more luck 😉 or did something different. Installation and running debian on different machines, new and old ones, from Dell (Desktops and Laptops), Lenovo (Desktops and Laptops), intel nuc (Desktop) and Terra (Laptop), Razer (Laptop) was without any problems.

  12. A pack of fresh nipples arrived.

    Which means its time to install a desktop on this nice old Latitude.

    After fixing the Intel Wifi not working because somehow I always have the exact hardware with the bug and not any of the others that don't have a typo in the firmware package filename 👼

  15. Skelbiu find. A Dell Latitude E7470 in great condition (trackpoint nipple needs replacing but they cost under €1).

    I5-6300 2.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM (plus free socket awaiting the AI bubble bursting), Intel Wifi+Ethernet, matte 14" FHD display, nice keyboard, trackpoint, even the battery has some life left in it and isn't trying to bust out.

    Came with a sad story though - sold in a hurry to finance someones hospital stay 😞

    Surprisingly, Dell has the nicest and most complete UEFI implementation I've ever seen.

    And a clever solution for how to put a proper RJ45 port on a slim computer without having to resort to flimsy folding contraptions.

The 20 m-tall rocket is designed to deliver 200 kg to #LEO at an ultra-competitive #price point 💶. Zephyr’s Navier engines are #3Dprinted.

  21. From Debian 13 to Devuan 6

    I moved another computer to #Debian Trixie over #Devuan Excalibur, but this time the process wasn't so smooth... It looks like this #Dell #Latitude #73XX have some problem with CPU and the NVMe disks and get freezon very often. Moving to Devuan did not help to fix it, only improved (for me) the readability of the logs...

    I am very disappointed with these Dell Laptops, perhaps they work fine with Ubuntu based distros, but with Debian/Devuan my experience hasn't been so good. I found that Asus instead has very good compatibility with Debian/Devuan.

  23. How to get the ‘<‘, ‘>’ and ‘|’ keys on a Dell Latitude 5300

    Since a while I am using a refurbed Dell Latitude 5300. I’m pretty happy with it. Just recently I was doing some stuff via SSH on my RaspberryPIs when I noticed that the Dell’s keyboard does not contain the ‘<' key. Not a big deal usually - just Linux Shell working is quite uncool without the '>‘ and the pipe ‘|’ characters.

  25. CW: Latitude Festival, sexual assault case

    A #festival #steward has been sent down to #prison for 42 months (he will serve about half the time) after being found guilty of #sexual activity with a #minor at the so called posh / "family friendly" #Latitude festival in #Suffolk #England

    (at least this one was caught, there's 2 other outstanding rape cases from that festival since the mid 2000s which have ended up as cold cases as the Police weren't able to get enough evidence)

  29. I am attempting to tighten the screen hinges on a Dell Latitude 7490 laptop. I need to find a tiny pliers... or further disassemble to get better access to the hinge nut.

    I'd rather not have to further disassemble.

  30. Habe soeben meinem guten alten #DELL #Latitude E6230 (Bj. 2012) wieder mal aktualisiert.
    Ich habe schon seit Erscheinen #Sparky #Linux V8 (Debian Trixie, semirolling) ohne jegliche Probleme auf dem alten Hündchen laufen.
    Okay, Prozessorgrafik, nur für Büro, Medien, Kommunikation und Shisen Sho in Gebrauch.
    (freue mich schon auf die nächste #Debian #Beta)
    Heute habe ich ihm auch den #Kernel 6.14.2 spendiert.
    Läuft stabil.
    Man gönnt sich ja sonst nix.
