wolre,

As for DaVinci Resolve, installation can be a bit weird if you don’t happen to run one of the officially supported Distros. Because of that, the easiest way to run it is probably via DistroBox, Michael Horn made a great tutorial about that: youtu.be/wmRiZQ9IZfc

wolre,

It wouldn’t be trivial to package such a big app as a flatpak (or snap for that matter) and also maintain it properly, so as long as the original developers don’t do the work I think it is unlikely to happen. But for a tool that I’m going to be using a lot in the future I think it makes sense to invest the time once to install it, even if it’s a bit more complicated.

wolre,

I had been using Linux on servers for years, and finally also decided to give it a shot on the Desktop during the Linux challenge from linustechtips. Went to PopOS first, then Fedora and Debian and am currently on OpenSuse.

wolre,

I’ve been using OpenSuse Slowroll basically since it released and so far am very happy with it.

FlorisBoard | FOSS keyboard that respects your privacy (florisboard.org)

I came across everyday topic on Techlore Discussions about free and open source keyboards for Android and discovered this little gem. It is FlorisBoard, a virtual keyboard for Android which respects privacy of the user. I can sigh with relief and finish my search for that singular keyboard for typing stuff on the go....

wolre,

May try it out if I can get over the fact that I won’t have multi language support without switching manually anymore. I’ve been trying to move away from SwiftKey, but as someone who typed regularly in 3 (occasionally 4) languages and switches between them quite a lot, it’s a feature that I’m not sure I can live without. So far I haven’t seen any FOSS keyboards supporting multi language in such a seamless way.

wolre,

Actually, the goal is to fold all of these national digital payment schemes (like iDeal, Payconic, Giropay,…) into a unified European system called WERO which is also based on SEPA Instant Transfers and will be rolled out over the next couple of years. They actually just finished the acquisition of iDeal recently.

wolre,

After the redesign I’m honestly surprised half of the world is not on Thunderbird already.

wolre,

As I understand, even when paying you would still see ads and not get any benefits over what Twitter is at the moment whatsoever. I honestly cannot imagine the platform retaining many users after such a drastic step.

wolre,

I do agree that adding some kind of backup option is probably a good idea. For many people, losing their email account would mean being locked out of basically all their online accounts (or, in case the account gets compromised, it would mean that all other online accounts would now be compromised too). The majority of people do not use password managers or 2FA, and I’ve made the experience that many people simply cannot be convinced to make online security a priority. While I’m also a FOSS and online privacy advocate and use tons of self hosted services for that reason, having some way to regain access to their Google account is almost certainly worth the extra data point that Google gets access to. Especially since the likelihood of them already knowing about your phone number is basically 100% if you are logged in on an Android device.

wolre,

There may be some hope of better FOSS map and Navigation Apps due to Overture Maps.

wolre,

As others have already mentioned, there will be EU regulation that comes into effect soon that will force messengers to be interoperable. Despite following the topic quite actively, it still seems to be quite uncertain how this interoperability will look like. I also have some concerns about companies making interoperability opt-in, requiring users to go to the app settings and manually turning it on or presenting them with a popup that makes it seem like interoperability is a security risk (a Meta spokesperson revealed that they were pushing for a solution like that pretty heavily). Either way, before trying to get other people to migrate to another platform I would first wait and see what the implications of this regulation are.

wolre,

I get the criticism that you still need to use the CLI for many more advanced tasks, but 11 “program install processes”? I assume you mean package managers? I only use two on Debian, apt and flatpak and don’t really see the need for anything more. If you just use a gui store like Gnome Software or Discover you don’t even see a difference between the two in the first place.

The only time that issues arise is when you try to instal something that is not (or not properly) supported on Linux. Otherwise I’d argue the presence of a centralized store GUI even makes installing apps easier on Linux than on Windows.

wolre,

Infinity is going to be great once everything is properly supported!

wolre,

As far as I know, that’s the plan. They just haven’t had an initial non-alpha/beta release yet since the app is still quite unfinished (references to Reddit, certain menus just error out, etc.)

You usually want to have a product that is kind of working when you ship it to normies

I'm done with NextCloud

Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart...

wolre,

Would be interesting to hear a little more about your setup. I had some issues when I had Nextcloud installed directly on Debian (though nothing this major), have since switched to running it on Docker and it’s been very solid.

wolre,

Immich is still in relatively active development, but has a great feature set and is the only app that could reasonably replace Google Photos for me. Can recommend!

Privacy with Google's Gboard (lemm.ee)

The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while...

wolre,

My main deal breaker with most open source keyboards is the usually pretty bad multi language support. I type in three languages all the time and don’t want to have to switch keyboards every time I switch the language. Currently using SwiftKey, just because it handles multi-language (fairly) well.

wolre,

I think this is a pretty good idea, actually. While this kind of information is available in most western places, people usually can’t be bothered to look it up and then have very weird ideas about what their taxes are probably spent on. This would at least help clear some things up.

wolre,

I mean, the outcome speaks for itself. Although I would likely have gone for Gnome instead of KDE for somebody who is completely new to Linux and not exactly techy. I use KDE myself, but I have to say that the out-of-the-box look and feel of Gnome is a lot more polished.

Google (search engine) alternatives?

Hi! I’m trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that’s useful). Obviously don’t wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn’t know where!...

wolre,

I’ve been using Duckduckgo for a while now, really like the option of using bangs to quickly search on other platforms like Maps, Google News, YouTube, etc.

wolre,

Well, that’s one of the reasons why I don’t like the concept. It just encourages you to eat way too much, because otherwise you won’t get your money’s worth. It shouldn’t be the customers’ responsibility to think about the restaurants business model and if it’s sustainable for them or not.

wolre,

Honestly, I’d still notice relatively quickly. I’m running TrueNAS at home for file sharing, Jellyfin, backups and (soon) Home Assistant, but most things do run on a hosted VPS. Reason being that I share many of these services with one or several friends and my home is limited to around 30 Mbps upstream.

wolre,

Jellyfin runs locally, it’s just accessible through a reverse proxy that I have running on the VPS. It’s not really practical to run it on a VPS since hosted storage ends up being a lot more expensive and my library is relatively big. Bandwidth hasn’t been a huge issue so far though as not too many people use Jellyfin at once. I could see it becoming a problem though if I hosted too many of the other services locally too, like Nextcloud, a Minecraft Server, Teamspeak (for some friends who are eternally stuck in the 2000s), gittea and several more.

I’d also need to run a second machine to host docker containers on or replace my NAS completely with something more powerful, which likely wouldn’t make sense economically as I live in a place where electricity is relatively expensive.

What are you using for photo storage and organization?

Hey, I’m wondering what everyone’s solution is for self hosted “cloud” storage of photos? I’ve been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it’s missing some features I’d like to have. While we’ve set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven’t found an easy way to...

wolre,

Like many people here I’m also planning on moving to Immich. It frankly looks amazing and it has a TrueCharts version, so it should be relatively easy to deploy on TrueNAS Scale. I’m going to wait a little longer though since it’s still in relatively active development and there are quite a lot of breaking changes that I currently don’t feel like dealing with.

wolre,

I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. You’ll probably be able to configure it to display your photos, but when it comes to more “advanced” features like creating albums, sharing photos with other users and the like, it’s understandably pretty difficult to find a system that would allow you to configure your own storage system.

wolre,

“You have to believe us!! We really are the good guys now!!”

wolre,

It took one release for Thunderbird to go from a pretty ancient looking program to one of the best looking ones out there.

wolre,

From a logical point of view, I tend to mostly agree. The issue is, however, that many people only really change their opinion when they figure something out by themselves. While, in an argument, they won’t be able to come back with anything, they’ll often still hold on to their original opinion. If your goal is to change somebody’s opinion, it can often be more effective to drop subtle hints over time and make them come to their own conclusion.
