GravitySpoiled,

It’s not a disaster. That’s overstating it. It just leaks some metadata to the server. Nothing that’s inherently wrong with it and which won’t be solved over time.

Some may don’t like that everything is stored on the server compared to signal where it only transits the server. But for companies or gov that should be/is mandatory. And it makes handling cross client and updating devices a lot easier for normal consumers.

GravitySpoiled,

I’m mot aware of a critical metadata leak, a link or example would be really helpful. Thanks!

GravitySpoiled,

There’s no problem for a public room. You can’t just join a private room.

GravitySpoiled,

That doesn’t sound realisticly threatening to me. Besides, if I want the highest security and privacy I use onion routing.

GravitySpoiled,

I didn’t know about thrive. That game looks cool! Mindustry is a lot of fun! I am not a gamer but that game is really cool. And KGoldrunner is a classics

GravitySpoiled, (edited )

Fuck. That’s genious. I type it new every time. I’ll test it, thx!

GravitySpoiled,

I’m not too sure I should celebrate such thing while you can’t even get the weather for your location in GNOME

GravitySpoiled,

Thx but that doesn’t make it more consumer ready. If someone looks the first time into gnome and he can’t add his location he might think GNOME is bad because it can’t even handle weather.

It’s easier to create an alias to curl wttr.in/Berlin and access weather data from terminal than using the workaround

How to install Nix on Fedora Silverblue (julianhofer.eu)

Today, I wanted to have another go with nix. Previously I just read about it and didn’t do anything for a couple of months. Now, I installed nix package manager with very few lines of code and two more to install many packages as described in his post. Installation was very fast on my banana laptop. Until now I used distrobox...

GravitySpoiled,

Why?

GravitySpoiled,

It’s faster than distrobox, it’s not within a box but on host, it’s easier than most package managers. I still go for flatpak first but for everything else I use nix. Especially for programming environment it looks to be much better than distrobox

GravitySpoiled,

Why does it work on my machine? I’m on silverblue

GravitySpoiled,

I’d like to know if it works for you now. I only ran the commands from the post and everything worked ootb

That’s probably why I gave up on it back then as well

GravitySpoiled,

GravitySpoiled,

I didn’t disable selinux

GravitySpoiled,

Sorry, faster because installing a package is faster than with other managers since you don’5 have to deal with any copr, debs or anything and it’s really fast on my install. I haven’t compared it directly but it feels very fast.

GravitySpoiled,

Boring silverblue 40

GravitySpoiled,

He thought it’s not possible to install nix on silverblue and another commenter tried to install it on secureblue. It’s not possible there. The problem is either somewhere along the supply chain (ublue) or with secure blue

GravitySpoiled,

You know, … I use PaperWM. I have no idea what those overlapping windows are … which makes it THE BEST LINUX DESKTOP for me

GravitySpoiled,

Bitcoin is completely inefficient but including a payment / donation system is a good idea. That should be available on mastodon such that you can donate to your fav people/orgs but it’s probably difficult for the average person to verify that you donate to the right person

GravitySpoiled,

You are 100% right.

They can’t ban encryption, yet they can make it difficult. If all noobs don’t use encryption, only the pros are left. That means they only have to spy on 10 instead of 100 people. Those that don’t use encryption aren’t interesting.

The problem is that they can’t spy on the 10 and hence they spy on the 90 and wait for the 1 guy making a mistake and becoming one of the 90.

GravitySpoiled,

You’re brave trusting a llm with that kind of task

Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

Due to the recent announcement of Proton moving to a non-profit structure (although not becoming fully non-profit) I’ve decided to take another look at them and really, Proton Unlimited is an enticing offer. However, the fact of everything from mail, to accounts, to storage being in one place is somewhat disconcerting. Also I...

Pass is awesome

Calendar is good but can’t speak caldav which makes it useless for android and linux.

GravitySpoiled,

Yes. I host my own nextcloud, I don’t need their calendar. But that also means I don’t need their drive. I only need the VPN and the mail and simplelogin is a nice bonus.

GravitySpoiled,

It doesn’t integrate with android or linux. You are vendor locked in. You can only use proton’s app. Usually carddav and caldav go together, my tasks (and now kanban board. thank you jtx) and my calendar are very well integrated.

GravitySpoiled,

Tough question, but I guess yes. It’s 10 bucks a motnh iirc, and I don’t pay for streaming services

GravitySpoiled, (edited )

They’re changing their business structure (or just changed it). I guess you could say now that it’s also a donation to the whole system itself. Like donations to EEF or so. The more (financial) power proton has the better compared to other services.

GravitySpoiled,

Thx.

Meaning, backup a list of flatpak apps and reinstall them on the new machine

GravitySpoiled,

I think I wrote a function for that a year ago, I’ll have a look

GravitySpoiled,

Nice one.

On silverblue, everything is installed within a distrobox. I should back that up and make sure it’s in my home folder.

GravitySpoiled,

Darktable is what you want. You can also use digikam

GravitySpoiled,

I haven’t used it in a while. Rawtherapee’s editor is awesome but I don’t remember an image overview. Thx for the reminder!

GravitySpoiled,

In darktable and digikam you can view images like in a folder with huge previews. You can select them, rate them and work on them.

GravitySpoiled,

Iirc there’s a setting

GravitySpoiled,

That’s cool! Why a dedicated page/appand not a bot on e.g. matrix?

GravitySpoiled,

deleted

GravitySpoiled,

Usually, I’d say silverblue but it sounds like you want to stay in the debian environment which is why I’ll recommend vanillaos. Just download the live image and check it out vanillaos.org

That’ll make youtube disappear for me.

Over the years I watched less and less. I only seldomly have to look into youtube for things that are easier in video than in text.

Teens and many people don’t know that there is a world without ads. They have to be educated that there are alternatives - not watching youtube is a real option. You do not depend on it.

I’s a horrible world many people live in. Recently I saw someone browsing on instagram, each third post is an ad and oftentimes there are ads after ads. And people follow other people and watch their ads. Incredible!

Recently, I was browsing linkedin and there were 12 ads instead of real jobs in a row. in a row. Unrelated to my profession.

What do you need 45 for if it runs with 46? Update the app that’s still on 45 instead of making sure yours runs with an outdated version.

Space is one of the least concerns for me on a computer, even if it is a phone. Besides, flatpak doesn’t consume that much space anyway.

GravitySpoiled,

OP is trying to solve no problem. I just keep her from wasting her time.

GravitySpoiled,

You have to download 46 eventually anyway. What if there’s a bug in 45? Why should you stick to 45 with the newer app? There’s no reason in sticking to older versions other than stability. Runtimes are stable enough.

GravitySpoiled,

A runtime is about 1GB, that’s 100 photos or a 2 minute video. I don’t worry about such things. Flatpak’s size is no problem.

Apps become outdated, or at least don’t get updated in time. You’re stuck on old runtimes because you want to save 1 or 2 GBs.

If you want to save space, update the outdated app. If everything is included in 46 and nothing changed, updating is straoght forward.

GravitySpoiled,

I can’t say specifics about aurora-dx. Aurora got added to the official bluefin repo, I don’t think it’ll go away any time soon. github.com/NiHaiden/aurora if it becomes obsolete, just rebase to another atomic variant and layer your packages. It’s hassle free and only one reboot (and one pin for backup) away.

You shouldn’t layer any random package. You shiuld layer packages that you need and are useful for the system. Even if those are 100 packages. If you need them, you need them. Some packages can be installed via distrobox but you know that already, I guess.

GravitySpoiled,

You could’ve used peertube which federates very well with lemmy
