  • To all European Union/Europe Open Source/Linux Enthusiasts

    Jump

  • Yet every 1-2 years the same proposal comes back with a different name and they have to have the exact same discussions over again because it has already been talked to death so it just depends which EU Parliament members have switched sides because of totally-not-bribary from lobbyists and nationalists.

    This time around was razor thin margins.

  • HA-friendly printer that won't take us to the cleaners?

    Jump

  • There have been some big changes at brother in the past couple of years. I am holding out hope that they don't enshittify and go the way of the others with firmware updates.

  • Antiviruses?

    Jump

  • On the bottles website, it says that the bottles are sandboxes. It has a full subsystem container for each program that is isolated from the main system (according to them I guess).

  • Antiviruses?

    Jump

  • If you run it through something like bottles offer a bit of protection in that respect?

  • What are some bare minimum concepts beginner Linux users should understand?

    Jump

  • Sadly, just the store doesn't work for many professional programs and non-free software.

    Segger j-link, renesas go hub, Nordic tools, etc... (though AUR solves this on arch distros)

  • What would be your distro of choice if you take the security with ease as the top priority

    Jump

  • Opensuse MicroOS variants kalpa and aeon are probably what they are looking for. Stupid easy to set up and, from what I understand, quite secure.

    Downside is that it needs workarounds for some things like Steam Flatpak and such, but that is the nature of atomic distros.

  • Free As In Beech and Speer.

    Jump

  • Linux mint was the only distro where things continually broke for me (just software, not the system, and this was 10 years ago now)

  • Audacity 4 will be a full UI overhaul apparently.

    Jump

  • It's definitely improving! I hope they also improve the default shortcuts because having to reach to almost the last key on the other side of the keyboard (k) for the single most used constraint is pretty nuts while there are almost unused closer keys lol.

  • Why do my LG smart fridge and my GE washer and dryer all have DNS servers? And is there a way I can control them without the manufacturer's miserable apps?

    Jump

  • They are doing their absolute best to make that impossible too.

    With Bosch, who is normally a very good appliance manufacturer, you have to register your product with them to even be able to download the stripped down user manual.

  • Audacity 4 will be a full UI overhaul apparently.

    Jump

  • I wish he would bring his skills to freecad 😂😂 it is needed!

  • Whats everyone using for smart plugs?

    Jump

  • Fibaro isn't a company anymore, so I don't know if those will be available. Here in the middle EU, all shops are out of stock of fibaro stuff.

    I use the aeotec stuff, but those smart plugs are also being not restocked at most webshops in Belgium and the Netherlands for some reason

  • Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)

    Jump

  • I would be interested to see a figure of people with home servers that have had that happen to them. DoS & pwned yes, especially 15+ years ago before there were good resources, TLS, reverse proxies, or authentication front ends.

    I would be very interested to see any stat whatsoever of selfhosters that have gottened murdered specifically because of their server.

    It is extremely important to note that in those days, people just opened their, often out-of-date, servers completely to the internet via a DMZ or port forwarding, let ssh be open to the internet, didn't harden ssh at all, and most people didn't use a VPN for downloading.

    That is literally like saying that people who light wall torches in their wooden home burned their house down, so let's not use lightbulbs or electricity.

  • v2.0.0: Stable Release of Immich (complete with Merch and DVD)

    Jump

  • What is the difference between a paid service and a paywalled service in this case?

  • How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything

    Jump

  • So you have absolutely no devices that are a different resolution than you download? You don't direct play 4k on a 1080p screen for example.

  • Immich mobile app sync V2

    Jump

  • Me too, and the new one I didn't even realize this change happened. I saw there were no breaking changes, updated, and saw "oh, it isn't synced anymore" so I reselected the folders, it ran a sync check on everything, which took a while, and everything works fine again.

    I didn't even realize there was a difference until now, but I guess there is a start/stop sync switch.

  • Average 1337x user

    Jump

  • Damn, I am only at a ratio of like 10 from some season packs of Chuck and The Mentalist. 565 is crazy!

  • How does streaming compare to "analog"?

    Jump

  • I have had accubattery for my phome's duration and Sony have the feature that you can force stop charging at 80%. In the past 3.5 years with the phone, I have charged 1 814 046 mAh in that time. Assuming avg 3.8V (not hitting too much or CV with 80%) and my local price of 0.32€/kWh, that is only 2.14€ over 3.5 years.

    Phones are absolutely crazy efficient.

  • Important Notice of Security Incident

    Jump

  • I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)

    I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.

    That and subtitle syncing.

  • Kevin Barry, the founder and original developer of Nova Launcher has stopped working on Nova Launcher and the open sourcing efforts.

    Jump

  • I was already a long time KISS launcher user after the sale (long time nova user)

    Recently discovered Kvaesitso and I have fully switched! It is just a bit more featureful than KISS while still being very clean and now when people use my phone for something, they can actually find apps too which is nice.
