  • Its certainly not the first place i’d look for advice, but it does make sense, they do test a lot of hardware. Try avoid getting the absolute cheapest dongles, some of them are fake, and behave weirdly. They are usually tested just enough to work in windows, and nothing more, so they can struggle on linux if the linux driver does something unexpected.

    I’ve had luck with an ASUS USB-BT500, but it really depends on if its legit or not, so good luck








  • I can’t find it right now, but there used to be a warning about not self-hosting runners for public repos. Anyone could fork your repo, and the fork would inherit your runners, and then they could change the pipeline to RCE on your runner.

    Has that been fixed?

    I went to a completely private gitlab instead, with mirroring up to github for anything that needed to be public.

    Edit: seems to maybe not be an issue anymore, at the very least it doesn’t seem to affect that repo. Still, for anyone else, make sure forks and MRs can’t cause action to run automatically on your runner, because that would be very bad.



  • It could be that the process forked and crashed, which is why you got the notification, but that it kept working. It might also be a delayed notification?

    I saw something similar happen on my partners Ubuntu with Zoom “crashing” multiple times while working. Didn’t dig to the bottom of it, the notifications eventually stopped after some reboots.
