Pantherina,

Wäre auf jeden Fall ein lustiger Prozess hahaha. Gerade weil es wahrscheinlich fallen gelassen wird, wäre das lustig.

📲 Welche kleinen Smartphones (~5") gibt es (nach 2016), die von einem unterstützt werden?
Leider wurden in den letzten Jahren kaum noch kleine, handliche Geräte hergestellt. Wenn ich nach "kleinen" Geräten recherchiere, ist die Definition meist sehr großzügig i.S.v. "kleiner als 6 Zoll" bzw. "kleiner als 15x7cm", was ich schon relativ große finde. Für mich persönlich wäre die perfekte Größe sowas wie das S4 Mini (das ist 12x6cm groß), da ich sowieso keine Ambitionen habe, auf dem Teil Romane zu schreiben oder Filme zu schauen (dafür gibt es zum Glück geeignetere Geräte).

Mir sind diese als relativ kleine Geräte bekannt, die von einem oder mehreren CustomROMs unterstützt werden und noch eine erträgliche Größe haben : Samsung bis S10, Pixel2-3, Sony Z3+Z5 Compact
Kennt Ihr darüber hinaus noch andere? ...je kleiner, desto besser!

Pantherina,

Android Betriebssysteme sind keine ROMs ;D

Pantherina,

Interessante Definition, von daher schon. ROM ist aber eigentlich nur ein kleiner Teil der Firmware, aber klar, für den Benutzer ist das System read-only

Pantherina,

Hahaha this. Swamps are so full of weird slimy and flying life. They are great, really great. But not for living in it XD

Pantherina, (edited )

Btw do you know how uutils (rust rewrite of GNU coreutils) is doing?

Pantherina,

What means wrong license? Does it need to be GPLv3?

gwendolencopper, to linux

Any virtual keyboard / on-screen keyboard recommendations for Gnome (Wayland) users? The default one doesn't support X11/XWayland apps, which unfortunately is most of them...

Pantherina,

Yes poorly. The input method protocol was done by Purism (which says something as that company seems dead or whatever) and then basically untouched.

Aurora Store on GrapheneOS: Server not found? (lemmy.today)

I’m running the latest GrapheneOS with no VPN and yesterday it was failing and saying “if you’re using one, try disconnecting from proxy/VPN” and today it’s saying server not found. This happens regardless whether I click on Anonymous, or Anonymous (insecure)....

Pantherina,

It is default

Pantherina,

Yes. It is only needed for /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb which is legacy afaik and GrapheneOS has a specific toggle just for this.

Pantherina,

Today I found out that Kbin has an actually usable Interface, unlike Lemmy.

Pantherina,

Yes that would do it. But I wonder if that would silence Mints update notices. These would be redundant and should be disabled/removed.

Pantherina,

Mate doesnt bundle in a ton of dependencies like KDE or even GNOME, but RAM usage between KDE, XFCE, MATE, Budgie etc. is pretty similar

Pantherina,

Yes but on GNOME you dont even have a bar at the bottom. GNOME Classic may suit here, or using Dash-to-panel which is very well maintained but may break.

Pantherina,

I suggest not giving their user sudo rights and having your own user with sudo rights for installing apps, doing upgrades and so on.

Yes but upgrades should be automatic and not require any privilege escalation. There is nothing privileged about keeping your system up to date. Same for flatpaks.

With a –user repo (in the flathub install command) you can let them install and uninstall their apps without any privileges, only to their user. Otherwise with a system repo they need to be in the flatpak group.

It will be very useful to have SSH installed if you need to assist them remotely.

That didnt age well ;D

and yes complex stuff like Tailscale is needed as the only good VNC apps for Wayland dont have builtin servers for connecting without an IP (like RealVNC, TeamViewer or RustDesk have).

Using NoIP could be an easy solution too though.

Syncthing has versioning, I wouldnt even put servers in the game. Just backup their home to one of your machines (if that is okay for them).

Pantherina,

I installed Zorin in a VM. The install crashes when testing in live mode and then installing.

Apart from that, its really no better or less messy than GNOME with some extensions.

‘Mamma Mia!’ Stage Star Sara Poyzer Replaced By AI On BBC Show To Recreate Voice Of Dying Person — Update (deadline.com)

The BBC has issued a statement that offers important context to Sara Poyzer’s viral social media posts. The British broadcaster said it is using AI technology in a “highly sensitive documentary” to represent the voice of a person who is nearing the end of their life....

Pantherina,

“Recreating the voice of a dying person” is such a weird phrasing. They want to show the voice that a dying person had in the past.

Pantherina,

Even with such a repo they are highly insecure by design.

Pantherina,

No they arent. Please read the linked post.

Pantherina,

Shit missing internet got my comment deleted…

Appimage is not a neutral packaging format. Of course “an app packaged as .zip is as secure as packages as .tar.gz”. But the format causes all the things mentioned in the post.

  • libraries are often the oldest non-EOL possible to support old kernels
  • no transparency about used libraries and possible vulnerabilities
  • no upgrades of libraries, always just the wanted app and then passively also the libraries
  • no sandboxing without firejail (which is a root binary and thus can lead to privilege escalation of rootless processes if it has a vulnerability which it had in the past)
  • no GUI sandboxing
  • even with a repo no cryptographic signature verification like on Android (not sure about Flatpak which uses OSTree)
  • requires users to execute code in random locations

So it is way less secure than Flatpak, thats a fact. It may not be worse than tarballs, but if those dont include the libraries even less secure than them.

I've Installed multiple Linux Distros on my Editing Rig to see how well Davinci Resolve Studio works. Here are the results.

So a couple of weeks ago, I made this post asking for help from those who used Linux and Davinci Resolve, and their experience. To those who’s response was effectively “I use arch btw”, I hear you, but that wasn’t the question I wanted to ask....

Pantherina,

rpm-ostree doesn’t support akmods afaik

It does and this is the official Fedora recommendation but just dont do that. Ublue has some additional tweaks, and they deal with possible breakages.

Pantherina,

Yes the Fedora external repo setup sucks extremely.

Have a look at this idea to make it better

Enabling external repos is easy, but really, their setup is a pain in the ass. Lets see.
