Use the Aurora Store!

bigdog_00,

Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.

If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!

bigdog_00,

I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?

bigdog_00,

I feel out of the loop, what’s Slackware?

bigdog_00,

Wrong community?

bigdog_00,

How is SailfishOS? I was keeping an eye on UBPorts (Ubuntu Touch), occasionally installing that on my Pixel 3a, but it just wasn’t there for me. Same for PostMarketOS, but the new GNOME Shell on mobile seems great. How is Android app support on SailfishOS?

bigdog_00,

I actually went to GrapheneOS from my iPhone, after deciding none of the other option were going to work for me. Bummer about the encryption, maybe that can be fixed?

China-based Supply Chain Cyberattacks Hit Thousands of Android Devices (www.msspalert.com)

The cyber defender, which specializes in disrupting bot attacks, digital fraud and abuse, said it impeded a “key monitization mechanism” of a number of criminal operations involving “backdoored” off-brand mobile and CTV Android devices sold to end users through retailers in China....

bigdog_00,

To be fair, you should always think twice about devices like that. At the very least, put them on their own VLAN, or at least have Pi-Hole running

bigdog_00,

BlendOS Will let you install virtually any package format through containerization, but it shows up just as if it was a native app. It’s pretty neat to see and I hope more distros adopt this

bigdog_00,

Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws

bigdog_00,

I would also suggest looking into GrapheneOS if you’re looking for something new. I’ve been running it for 6 months on my pixel 6, and I have really enjoyed it. Apps just work, you can still use Google Play services in a sandbox, it’s smooth and gets good battery life. The only downside that I have run across is the lack of Android auto support, but everything else just works

bigdog_00,

This is understandable, I still have a Win10 install on a separate disk in case I want to run VR on my Oculus CV1. Otherwise it’s all Linux babyyyy

bigdog_00,

This is still how we handle printers at work, this is about to become a nightmare

bigdog_00,

BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!

bigdog_00,

Godot is going to see a massive migration, I can already feel it. No huge company behind it, waiting to do a rugpull.

Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed?

Basically every laptop I’ve owned I’ve had to disable sleep when the lid is closed as I often leave them plugged in and want background tasks like downloads or updates to be able to run while I’m not using the machine. However, I don’t think PC laptops have a way to switch to a super low power state and just run...

bigdog_00,

Isn’t this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?

Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell’s Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though

bigdog_00,

Admittedly, NixOS fixes this with a single config file that can rebuild your system in minutes, then the built-in backup tool can restore your files. So yes, absolutely. That being said, that’s limited to a few declarative distros

bigdog_00,

The Pro is faster from what I understand, it seems to support 3.0 or 3.1(?)

bigdog_00,

This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries

bigdog_00,

I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)

bigdog_00,

I second this 👀

bigdog_00, (edited )

I agree about the Nintendo exclusive games, but the price is about the same. 320 US dollars gets you a refurbished 64 GB steam deck, which is basically the same price as the standard Switch and even cheaper than the OLED model. Not to mention all the great sales and cheap keys you can get

Edit: I do own both, I’ve had a switch since launch day, so I recognize the power that the first party exclusives have. I certainly don’t hate on the switch by any means

bigdog_00,

Theoretically no, they want people to ignore those built-in sponsorships, so the advertisers go straight to Google’s ad service

bigdog_00,

Church is meaningless if it’s not provided at a useful voltage though. What people truly care about is usable energy, which is what Watt-hours or Joules tell us. For example, I don’t care if my portable battery pack is 1000 milliamp hours, it’s meaningless unless I also know The battery chemistry used (nominal voltage) and the number of cells so I can figure out the actual potential energy.

Also, as a phone’s battery ages, if I’m not mistaken it truly does hold less “charge”, but I still believe the more useful metric is actual energy stored. That’s how it’s done in the EV scene, you use kWh to see how much energy is left in your battery. As the battery ages, “100%” represents slightly lesser energy (kWh)

bigdog_00,

Same as previous models, it’s an antenna gap (for mmWave I believe)

bigdog_00,

The fall isn’t really the issue, you would probably be injured but not dead. That is, unless traffic is moving at 70 mph beneath you, in which case you’re almost guaranteed to not only immediately die, but forever traumatize potentially dozens of drivers. I would say the value of stopping traffic is pretty high, and the trucks probably stopped before the police were ever even called if I had to guess Edit: clarity

bigdog_00,

SwitchBot makes a retrofit deadbolt controller that straps onto the inside

bigdog_00,

I mean you can, but iPhones and some Android devices are the only common devices but I’m aware of that have fast pairing. Your Nintendo switch isn’t capable of having such a fast pairing pop-up

bigdog_00,

Right right, nobody said it was. Just an example of what it could do, but nobody says that was all it could do

bigdog_00,

Same here, I’m in my early/mid 20s and still see almost all of my high school friends multiple times per month. Plus we play games on Discord at least once or twice a week. I moved about a half hour out from town a few years back, which is probably the only reason we don’t see you each other even more often

bigdog_00,

GrapheneOS is also another good option - I’ve been running it for 6+ months so far and I’m loving it! The only downside I can think of is the lack of Android Auto support, although that’s never been a thing that I’ve used

bigdog_00,

I’m pretty sure he stepped down right after the controversy, but I’m too lazy to look it up to confirm

bigdog_00,

bigdog_00,

Actually this is pretty wild to me, when did this come about?

bigdog_00,

They are slower, produce more heat, and waste more energy. Not to mention the fact that you’re actually more constrained on where you put the phone, you can’t pick it up to use it while it continues charging. Wireless charging is worse than almost every way, save for the magsafe mounting system they developed. I’ll give them credit, that’s pretty handy, but in general I don’t understand this push for wireless charging

bigdog_00,

I have the same setup for about a year, even bought a mag safe case for my pixel when I switched to GrapheneOS so I could keep using it. Portable batteries and charging mounts are great and all, but having a mag safe cable is totally pointless. It’s still charges more slowly, produces more heat, and is less efficient. If you’re going to be constrained by a wire you might as well just plug straight in

bigdog_00,

Now I’m wondering if it’ll surpass the PS2 in lifetime sales…

bigdog_00,

I’ve actually been thinking about doing this, though I think it would be even better if there was a smart USB socket that could adjust the power output on the fly. For example, you could program a custom charging curve to have full speed charging until 50%, 10 Watts until your desired battery level. For now I guess the smart switch idea is better than nothing

bigdog_00,

Underrated comment right here lol

bigdog_00,

Samsung’s SmartThings tracker is apparently just as good, strangely enough

bigdog_00,

I run Proxmox which is based on Debian, no issues for over a year now!

bigdog_00,

Did you read the last part of the comment?

bigdog_00, (edited )

I don’t actually agree, it’s less about the color of the chat bubble obviously, and more about the experience. iMessage is front and center, baked in, allows for full quality images and videos, typing indicators, reactions, replies, red receipts. You don’t get any of that with SMS. This is still absolutely an Apple problem through and through, preventing other chat apps from feeling native. That being said it does explain why people care so much about iMessage

bigdog_00,

I agree completely. Like I said, it’s a problem that Apple has manufactured. But I blame Apple for making third party message clients into second class citizens, I don’t blame the users

bigdog_00,

Almost every other app has those features, absolutely. And that wouldn’t be a problem if Apple didn’t prevent them from feeling like first-class apps, or they adopted RCS

bigdog_00,

I’m lucky - I’m in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I’m getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!

bigdog_00,

I would argue that’s actually a good thing for the average user. Computers and other personal electronics have become so reliable that you rarely have to delve into those tools as an average user. You can actually see the trend of simplification and everything but Windows - Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android are all immutable operating systems where user data and applications live separately from a read-only operating system partition. This is obviously not the case for all Linux distros but the point still stands.

Working in IT, I’m glad to see that despite the move to immutability in the Linux world, I actually have access to more tools than I did on base Ubuntu. blendOS and NixOS allowing you to spin up an operating system of your choice in a container, pull down whatever programs you want, all without cluttering your system? It really is the best of both worlds. Plus I still need a rock solid system, Knowing that I will always be able to apply an update without anything breaking is a huge win for all users. Back to the original point, technology has become so reliable and easy to use that you feasibly can just open your browser every morning and leave it at that. No hassling with clearing cache or anything, it just works.

bigdog_00,

Set up NextCloud, sync your photos to your own NextCloud server, and you’re good to go. The crazy thing is it’s becoming trivial for even a non-technical user to set everything up. Tail scale means there is no reason to put forward if you are just using it for personal use, and you literally just have to log into tail scale with your Google account on the server and your phone. You can run next cloud in a virtual machine with virtualBox, and that’s literally it. You don’t have to deal with updating, being stuck in PHP or dependency hell, none of that. Seriously, we are at such a crazy time in history where you can set up your own cloud infrastructure with an hour of work for even an non-technical user, and stop paying for iCloud photos or Google photos storage each month. It saves you money and improves your privacy
