I've tested out the almalinux-depoly.sh script on a few test servers, and it went well... But what struck me was the fact that it downloads 2500+ packages, something like 1 to 2 GB, before running the installation. ot only does it take a long time (easily over an hour), but it is also very wasteful on bandwidth, both for me (I have a better use for that bandwidth) and for the poor repository.

It would appear to be just a pretty normal rpm/yum/dnf update, so I was wondering: is it possible to download the rpm packages before executing the installation, manually, copying those packages from one server to another, and then run the deploy script., which could then simply mostly use those alre

I didn't pick up my phone when somebody called me a few times. I just noticed that Android sent a text message to that person with as contents:

Can't talk right now. What's up?

That is creepy and totally unacceptable behavior. I don't ever want Android to reply in that manner in my name to anybody, ever.

How to I block this?

For about 2 weeks now, the latest versibn of Vivaldi shows a lot of broken images, even on sites like Google Images (where rectangles y one color), and YouTube, and even Google Maps (where tiles refuse to load).

In the developer console you can see a lot of "ERR_CACHE_MISS" errors.

So, apparently, the browser tries to find an URL in the cache, and if it isn't there, it just gives up. It doesn't even attempt to actually get the images from the internet.

You have explicitly invoke ctrl-F5 to make them load.

This happens on all of my PCs.

I'm building a kiosk system based on the Chromium browser in kiosk mode on Ubuntu 204 LTS with Gnome 3.36.9. I got it mostly working, but its still possible to break it using some gestures on a tochscreen.

I've tried every suggestion found on the internet, including installing a few Gnome extensions. The extensions I've tried include (sometimes with updated shell version in metadata.json):

• Disable Gestures (updated shell version). This one does block 3-finger gestures
• Disable Touch OSK
• [Block Caribou](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1326/block-c

They're obviously editing the video, they might just as well edit the audio instead of putting a text overlay in the video.

We only want to apply a group policy (for WSUS) only to computers that are in the local network, or connected through VPN. It's possible to filter out those computers through a WMI filter.

This article says:

When the client processes such a group policy, Windows will check its state for compliance with the specified WMI query, and if the filter conditions are met, the GPO will be applied to this computer.

This "Windows" in this sentence, is that the client or the server? Does the WMI filter actually run on the client or the server? Thus, will the filter work when a laptop isn't connected to the VPN or local network, and

We're a small sized company using a LAN of Windows PCs as clients and a Windows Server as a file server.use Windows PCs. We've got several Synology NAS stations intended as a live backup as a protection when people accidentally clutter or delete a file.

So the idea is to have a Synology client software running on the server that copies modifications to a file to he NAS when peopel edit or replace it, keeping several copies.

The problem is all I have found are clients that only starts to run when you log in, onto the desktop, and exits when you log out. That is quite stupid for a server.

Is there a solution that actually works?

Lately I noticed that when I turned up the bass on my EQ for the track, the bass didn't appear to really get louder. Instead, the other ranges (mid, high) appeared to go down in volume.

What exactly is happening? It's not the same as in standard analog EQ, where only the range you are controlling gets affected.

Does Traktor try to keep the overall gain the same, by lowering the flat gain opposite the way you turn the knob? Or is it just the output volume limiter kicking in?

My EQ is set to NUO, which I subjectively find gives the nicest, best separated EQ controls for the audio. (I don't want the mid to follow along when turning up or down bass or treble.) Or so I thought.

There's nothing I can do about that, so I don't want to see these messages, as it's very distracting.¨

If you read articles like this and that, you'd think that dnsmasq is a silver bullet to speed up often repeated DNS lookups.

Instead, since activating it, I've gotten long DNS lookup delays and timeouts on github.com, which alternatingly returns the IP addresses 140.82.118.3 and 140.82.118.4.. I even got a NXDOMAIN response just seconds after doing a previous successful nslookup.

This is on a basic CentOS 7 install.

What could be causing this?
