Currently running Nobara 41, and if Firefox is playing a video, or even just has a paused video on it, my computer will not go to sleep until I exit Firefox entirely. If I try to shut down instead, it will seemingly close all open apps, and the displays will go black but the mouse cursor remains on screen and does not respond.

If I start Firefox from the CLI, it shows nothing when I try to suspend.

This only happens with Firefox, and as far as I can tell, doesn't happen when playing a video elsewhere.

I don't have any power savings settings that I'm aware of that should be preventing anything, so I don't know what's going on. This is a recent issue, starting maybe 2 weeks ago. I haven't installed any new software besides updates in that time.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?

I am building some simple "pallets" out of 4x4 lumber to ship some machines.

The plan is to screw the feet of the machines to the top of 8 foot long 4x4s, and then to screw shorter 4x4s, probably about 4 feet, to the top of them as crossbars to move the machines with pallet jacks. Basically, I'd have a rectangle 8 feet long by 4 feet wide with the weight being supported from above by the crossbars. I'm not sure how much the machines weigh, but as a guesstimate, I'd put them at about 600 lbs each.

My question is what type and length of screws should I be using for this? I may double up on the cross bars if it doesn't feel strong enough to safely carry the weight. Given I'm using 4x4s, I'll have about 7" of wood to work with, I imagine 6 inches would be a minimum length, but I don't know if I need some thicker screws, in which case I might need to drill some pilot holes.

Thanks for the help

I haven't seen one of these in a few days, so I thought I'd toss in one of my own.

It's meant for via ferrata to reduce the impact of falling on static gear. You loop a short rope through the holes and it absorbs the forces of the fall by friction of the rope slipping through. This is the Kong Kisa.

So I had to cancel some travel plans some time ago, and I have a travel voucher with Air Canada. What would be the best way to search for deals to use my voucher on?

Air Canada's site has very few options to help find the best value, and other sites I've tried don't let you limit to a specific airline AND allow the flexibility options I want at the same time.

Recently my micro SD card failed and I had to to a full reinstall of klipper.

When I first set it up, I found a guide with pictures and all the software setup specifically for the ADXL345 and Pi Zero 2, but I can't find the guide anymore.

Everything's already wired, but I definitely don't remember how to set everything up.

Currently running Nobara, and having audio annoyances.

Any time any app loads anything new, it will switch my audio device back to default. For example, if I open a playlist in VLC and choose my speakers as the output device, when it's done playing one file, it will open the next one and start playing audio through the headphones.

If I'm watching a video on Youtube and choose speakers, as soon as I leave the page it goes back to headphones.

Is there a way to prevent the device in use from switching back? If I switch device, I just want it to stay on that device until I choose to switch back. I literally never want it to switch on its own. ATM, the only way is to manually go it and change the default every time instead of just clicking the checkbox in the volume popup.

This is a recent issue, and I don't know what has changed to cause it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which games work and which ones don't. My monitor's resolution is set to 2560 x 1440 in the display settings, but some games don't recognize it.

Of the games I have installed, Subnautica, Dark Souls III, Sekiro, Control, Hades, and Hi-Fi Rush think my native resolution is 1896 x 1067 and they won't let me change it to anything higher than that.

Elden Ring, Ark Survival Ascended, and Returnal detect my resolution correctly and work fine.

This is all from Steam without any custom launch settings, and with and without gamescope. I've tried custom resolution command line options for Subnautica and that hasn't helped either.

I'm running an RX 6700 XT on Nobara with everything currently up to date. I'm not sure when this issue started, but it's recent, probably within the last week or so. I've definitely run Control and Sekiro at the correct resolution before, but in my recent testing they no longer work right.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Why some games work fine and others don't?

I haven't bought from Amazon in several years, but I made an exception for this deal. I've never seen this go below $80 before.

Are there any software issues I may/should deal with when doing a full system upgrade? I'm going from AM4 to AM5, so new CPU, motherboard and RAM.

It should be pretty straightforward under Linux, right? Just swap my drives over and boot up? I've only ever done single upgrades at a time, never a full generation.

So it's a SFF case meant for NAS use. It has 5 slide-in 3.5" drive bays and can only handle a low-profile PCIE card.

I'm thinking of picking one up and mangling it to force in a 2-slot GPU. I want to basically remove the drive bays and the PCB with the SATA slots, ditch the PSU frame, move the motherboard frame back or flip it around, and 3d print a new backplate for the case.

I'd stick the PSU where the drive bay used to be and run an extension to the back of the case, and then there should be room for a full-sized GPU mounted vertically in the case.

Do you think this would be achievable? Am I crazy for even thinking about it?

Now if only I could also fit an AIO in there.

I've had the game running fine for months, but experience constant crashes if I have foliage and fluid interaction enabled. Has anyone been able to run the game with this on?

Currently on Pop!OS running a 6700XT, and having the issue under both X and Wayland.

Is anybody else dealing with this? In game mode updates install normally, but if I go into desktop mode, updates stall and never finish downloading. And unfortunately you don't get to install desktop updates from game mode.

My internet connection works fine on firefox, and is plenty fast, so it's not a connectivity issue. I'm not sure what's going on.
