This is for a used Wyse 5070 I recently purchased, having the J5005 CPU and a huge 8 GB RAM all running on AlmaLinux 9.1. Why AlmaLinux? Because I'm partial to RHEL-based systems with its focus on stability, that's all. Unfortunately the downside is that oftentimes new software isn't readily available.
I want to unlock the ability to perform hardware-accelerated transcoding in ffmpeg so I can use it in Tdarr as a decent remote transcoding node.
Intel ARK - Pentium Silver J5005 shows that the CPU has Quick Sync Video support, and as such supports some form of hardware video acceleration.
The CPU is Gemini Lake and uses Intel UHD Graphics 605, which is Gen 9.5 according to the ffmpeg wiki. The machine should be able
Start by checking that there aren't any previous ssh keys inside the FIDO2 authenticator of your YubiKey. You can check if they exist by running the command below:
nix shell nixpkgs#yubikey-manager -c ykman fido credentials listIf the command above outputs a string mentioning "ssh" or "openssh", then you have already got a key generated and store on your YubiKey.
Before generating a new ssh key to store on your YubiKey you must consider which additional required authentication factors you want to use. Below you can see a table with the available factors and their corresponding command:
You can use these commands and rules to search for exploitation attempts against log4j RCE vulnerability CVE-2021-44228
This command searches for exploitation attempts in uncompressed files in folder /var/log and all sub folders

CALISHOT is a specialised search engine to unearth books on open calibre servers.
It allows you to search ebooks in full text across them or to browse the database by facets: authors, language, year, series, tags ... You can even run your own queries in SQL.
These servers are often up and down so, for now, the data are regularly updated and new snasphots are posted on ...
NB: these instructions are for Ubuntu; they work under WSL on Windows 10 as well

tl;dr: Wayland is not "the future", it is merely an incompatible alternative to the established standard with a different set of priorities and goals.
Wayland breaks everything! It is binary incompatible, provides no clear transition path with 1:1 replacements for everything in X11, and is even philosophically incompatible with X11. Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.
Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating e
