possiblylinux127,

It was nice while it lasted (not)

possiblylinux127,

It will never be compatible with X because they are different designs. X relies on a central program (server) that accepts commands from programs. It is also a mess as it was built during the 80s for 80s hardware. It was expanded over time but you can only stretch the arch so far.

Wayland doesn’t have a server. You desktop talks to the hardware and then the desktop accepts connections from apps.

possiblylinux127,

That’s not the norm

possiblylinux127,

I think the desktop itself does that. For instance Gnome is working on accessibility

possiblylinux127,

I don’t get it. Why do you want a benchmark?

possiblylinux127,

I love that this is the only comment

A Rising Enforcement of Censorship (blog.thenewoil.org)

In recent weeks, I’ve noticed a rise in censorship regarding SMS communication that’s not being discussed. At all. I’m concerned that it may become a slippery slope that eventually effects us all. I don’t have any dramatic, prose-ridden introduction this week. Just some news, facts, and observations I wanted to share. So...

possiblylinux127,

RCS is Google so I wouldn’t use it

possiblylinux127,

“Secure from our competitors”

possiblylinux127,

Are you surprised by this? It is SMS after all. I think you could do this with a basic man in the middle.

possiblylinux127,

We will need to watch closely because this might be a experiment that only applies to a few people.

possiblylinux127,

You probably could do this outside the carrier

Looking for recommendations for homebrew security system cameras

A friend of mine is helping me with setting up a Linux-based homebrew security system set up. He’s currently using Wyze cameras, but they are faulty and have ads on them, so I’d like to find something more open-source/closed system that I can control completely. Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction would be...

possiblylinux127,

Poe cameras with Frigate seems to be the best option.

I am also interested in the Pinecube wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PineCube

XMPP sucks for me

If it works for you that’s great but it won’t work for everyone. XMPP lacks coherency and is kind of a mess. Matrix isn’t perfect but at least there is a central direction. It also has companies that provide commercial services which is nice although I wouldn’t trust it in prod right now.

possiblylinux127,

Well all of the corporations that are posted on Lemmy at least. Lemmy isn’t exactly unbiased.

possiblylinux127,

You stay one night and you pay for a year

possiblylinux127,

I just think Lemmy is particularly anticorp antibusiness. Adobe sucks though. I will never use any of there products.

possiblylinux127,

Can we get developers from the heavens to maintain FOSS?

possiblylinux127,

Did you make a call?

possiblylinux127,

You are ok with Facebook but not Ticktok?

possiblylinux127,

Maybe I misunderstood

possiblylinux127,

I use rsync and ZFS snapshots

I was looking at the firefox flatpak on flathub. Won't this warning make a non tech-savy user anxious? This might make them think they'll get a virus or something like that. (programming.dev)

Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don’t you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?...

possiblylinux127,

In short, no

possiblylinux127,

Honestly I would prefer to just donate

possiblylinux127,

Was controversial when it was new and full of problems. Now it is mostly the standard for apps.

possiblylinux127,

So if a library is out of date you can just update it. As far as containers go they are fine for security as bubblewrap is pretty solid.

possiblylinux127,

Flatpak as a dependency system that allows use of specially packaged library type flatpaks. This significantly reduces the needed disk space.

possiblylinux127,

It used bubblewrap which is kind of like a chroot.

possiblylinux127,

Keep in mind there are certain permissions that can lead to a sandbox escape. These permissions are banned on Flathub but can still be used by flatpaks files and custom repos.

possiblylinux127,

I honestly prefer Ansible. It can do lots of configuration and setup and install flatpaks.

possiblylinux127,

You absolutely can as Flatpak can run completely local. You can create a custom repo if you want.

possiblylinux127,

You can but there would be little point. Fedora has its own repo for instance.

possiblylinux127,

Apt is a package manager. Flatpak is an app format that happens to have a package manager. It isn’t designed to manage a OS.

possiblylinux127,

It could also he that those people aren’t using computers with Linux

possiblylinux127,

It is per download not per person.

possiblylinux127, (edited )

Well that isn’t the fault of Flathub. If a country or organization blocks it that’s a local issue. This is especially true in China where they need to control the movement of information. Blaming flathub and Flatpak for censorship is frankly unfair.

Just to be clear I do not support Chinese Authoritarianism

possiblylinux127,

Your bypassing restrictions that could get you in trouble. Tor is the right answer in that case. However, bypassing restrictions can have dire consequences.

possiblylinux127,

Well I know Ansible and it works for my needs. I briefly used Nix and it was worse. Ansible is nice because you can just install ansible and then apply a playbook.

possiblylinux127,

Twisted repo system

Oh no, the evil repos

possiblylinux127,

You can but I wouldn’t

possiblylinux127,

I just think Flathub shouldn’t get involved with Chinese attacks on human rights. The Chinese version of things lack proper encryption and are heavily censored. You can’t use things like normal Wikipedia or Ticktok.

China isolates there own people. You can’t blame Flathub for attacks on freedom. As for mirrors your welcome to create your own repo based on Flathub. However, it is never going to be officially enforced. Flathub is very careful with user safety.

possiblylinux127,

I think the haters are louder than the people who just use it occasionally

possiblylinux127,

Yeah no, it isn’t. I know that from experience. It constantly goes down and is controlled by Microsoft so it favors there way of thinking.

possiblylinux127,

What are you trying to do? Why don’t you just use full disk encryption?

possiblylinux127,

I don’t think that’s possible without an OS. For encryption you need a strong passphrase.

Drones trespassing in my property

Idk if anyone had a similar problem before, but I live in EU by the countryside, at first there were only a few but now it happens more and more often to see drones passing over my house, I am sure they are civilian drones because law enforcement has no reason to use them since the area is quiet (and honestly I doubt they would...

possiblylinux127,

“They’re the same picture”

possiblylinux127,

That guy deserves an award

I never understood anti drug drones. You’d think criminals would just go inside or get a pavilion

possiblylinux127,

Honestly they should get a good video of the drone and report it. If the police do nothing sent it to the community
