  • noatime would help here

  • Anyone new to a subject gains their confidence (or not) if you're confident (or not)

    So, I'd suggest picking 1 distro to install,.and make sure you're familiar with it.

    Have multiple copies of the installer ready so you're able to get things running in parallel and then you're 75% ready.

    Also be prepared for people turning up with all their cherished photos on their laptop not understanding what you're about to do, so they'll say they're happy for you to install a new OS and then be upset that pictures of Fluffy aren't there any more...

  • Just translate it in your browser 🤷🏻

  • The security flaw (tracked as CVE-2023-2533 and patched in June 2023)

    Regular patching...

  • My ISP actually supplies Fritzbox routers by default.

    I turned mine into a passthrough modem for my pfsense firewall to use, but it's a solid piece of kit.

  • No Pairdrop?

    This works for me, for any adhoc files I want to get to any device any time, any place...

    For any regular file transfers, syncthing.

  • Sounds like you'll get pro advice anyway, but make sure you datestamp the video / images if you want to use this as evidence

    I've used MotionEye for a while and it's good on low-end equipment, but not sure it's good enough for what you want / need.

    As others have said, if you block the equipment from reaching the internet then you're halfway there. If you literally do not physically connect the camera network to anything else then you're ven better off.

    Don't use wifi cameras.

  • "Impersonation and psychological warfare will be a big thing in the coming years," warns Rem Dudas from Palo Alto Networks, noting how AI enables malware to mimic other threat actors' techniques

    Might be <%your country%>?

    AquaSec identified Serbia-based IP addresses used in the attacks, Serbian phrases in the scripts, and Slovak language in the GitHub repository hosting the miners, but it could make no confident attribution.

  • The in-memory version of the tab template prevents having to restart FF to load the new one from disk now, but, at some point you're still going to have to restart...

    I tend to hibernate my laptop, so it doesn't reboot often... so surely I'm going to get to the point where FF needs a restart...

  • Or, complain to the website not to use browser specific features (just like the old Internet Explorer days)

  • I've not looked into it properly yet, but - considering this is still free software - I don't believe that level of granularity exists.

    So, if I wanted to share my holiday photos from last week with 1 friend, and the photos from someone's party to different friends... nope.

  • That's an interesting point...

    I'd like to share some (holiday) photos with my friends & family, so I can put those onto Pixelfed / Friendica / etc... I don't necesarily want to share all the photos...

    And that's using the cloud.

    Job Done. The self-hosting + federated cloud future is here!

    Rejoice.

  • Agreed. It's driver support that's really the problem.

    Fairphone's support is basically limited to how long they can negotiate with component suppliers to maintain their parts. They had an issue a few years ago due to the camera chip supplier withdrawing support.

    <rant> But, if the business model is to sell cheap and often, then landfill will keep filiing up. It's down to the consumer's to (try to) slow that down and demand longer life from their products. </endrant>

  • Glad to see focused development

    I didn't know that the App could be a launcher, will have to check that out...

    And I understand the treadmill of technology, but I suspect some of my tablets will now have to go to recycling if Android 6 is minimum spec... they still have good batteries 😥

  • So, is that just a 'developer' component, or have I got to analyse all my systems now for the NPM components in the article's list?

  • Well...

    TBH, I've not seen a battery bulge (in a tablet... seen plenty others...), but I do have a tablet which doesn't seem to hold it's charge as well as it used to.

    So, have I done in-depth long-term testing... no.

    Personally, I just got some of these USB switches and was more interested in whether I could control it easily (I could)

    Re: LineageOS - yeah, I agree, if you can find the right tablet AND it's supported, then definitely flash it.

    You might still need to download the latest webview component though.

  • If money's not a factor? Maybe a Linux Panel PC.

    I've tried a few Lenovos and they seem ok - inc. the Lenovo Thinksmart discussed on the HA forum

    All tablets have a quirk somewhere, but FullyKiosk does a good job - if the tablet is any good - so I recommend it. A colleague used something else.. I'll try to find out what it was.

    Whatever you do get, if it has a battery, ensure you monitor it's battery and keep it somewhere between ~20% & ~80% with a smart power socket / USB relay

    Based on your statement that you've only had this for a few months, my suggestion is to assume you'll want to change it in 1~2 years, so try cheap, named brand, 2nd hand ones from ebay until you get size and rotation right for how you use it.

    My dashboard on the kitchen tablet is landscape, but portrait in the lounge (on the ThinkSmart on a coffee table) - both seemed too big initially, now they feel too small.

  • With respect, you wouldn't install these by just doing an update, so pacman -Syu is fine.

    You would have needed to install these manually, or a package that depended on them - both from AUR - so you'd also need to use yay (etc) to install them.

    But - I totally agree with your points that tge names look innocent enough for someone to install those over other packages.

    Always look at the AUR (website) at the package details - if it's new(ish) and has 0 or 1 votes, then be suspicious.

  • Have a look at Patrick Kennedy's reviews on yoochoob under ServeTheHome - there's some fantastic hardware available now

    I ended up buying something from AliExpress, which I was initially reluctant to do - but Patrick's reviews convinced me
