Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • I use Bottles for windows games that I don't have on steam or GOG.

  • Nextcloud logs me out whenever I leave and rejoin my local network

  • In that case, something is invalidating the login. Are you sure that it is happening due to leaving your LAN, and not just coinciding with that?

    Does restarting the laptop log you out, or temporarily disconnecting from the internet? Could you test by switching to a wifi hotspot on your phone, and switching back, for example?

    The client stores your session token in the OS credentials manager (kwallet for linux kde, for example) and the issue can lie there, as well.

  • That's definitely not how it should work. Leaving your LAN should not invalidate a session.

    Is this in your browser, or are you talking about the desktop client?

  • Recommendations for after installing Linux (Mint) coming from Windows for best practices for a casual user ?

    Jump

  • Flathub and the AUR are by far the most comprehensive, and flatpaks works on a lot of distros. So I checked those.

    They've also been getting their kinks worked out over the last few years and work much better than they used to.

    That review you found is two years old and was for version 1.1. Current version is 1.4. Try it out today, if it's been fixed leave another review letting people know. It seems to work just fine for me, but I haven't used it before.

  • Material Maker is on Flathub, the AUR, and on Snapcraft (not up to date, but you shouldn't use snap anyway).

    No need for a manual install.

    You'll find a lot of software is available via package managers. Linux people don't like installing anything without it being managed by a package manager so the installation and subsequent updates are automatic and occur alongside system updates. So when people find software they like, they'll go out of their way to package and distribute it for others as well

  • Yes. But you didn't.

    Knowing what something does is important.

    If you install a piece of software expecting it to do something it actually doesn't, that can leave a security gap.

    I wasn't just correcting you. I was making sure you knew that if you install a "firewall" it won't do the thing you're looking for.

    As for an actual answer, most distros will already ask you to confirm if you try to run a random appimage you downloaded.

    But you shouldn't need to do that in the first place. On linux, there's not really any need to go running random programs downloaded using your web browser, since you can just download software from trusted reposotories that aren't going to host malware to begin with.

    Unlike on windows... You don't need to risk it in the first place.

  • And I'm telling you a firewall won't do that.

    It won't have anything to say at all about something you download and run.

    It's a completely different security feature. It handles potentially malicious network activity. Not software on your computer.

  • oh with the firewall saving me from myself I meant if I download something thinking it's safe but isn't

    A firewall would not save you from that.

    A firewall stops random incoming connections. But if you download and run something bad, that'd be an outgoing connection, since the malicious program is then already on your system.

  • Almost everything you do on desktop linux is already "outside the core os".

    This is mostly relevant for server software configuration, where you should run services with as few system privileges as possible. Preferably you isolate them entirely with a separate user with access to only the bare minimum it needs.

    This way, if a service is compromised, it can't be used to access the core system, because it never had such access in the first place. Only what it needed to do its own thing.

    By default, nothing you run (web browser, steam, spotify, whatever) should be "running as admin".

    The only time you'll do that on desktop linux, is when doing stuff that requires it. Such as installing a new app, or updating the system. Stuff that modifies the core os and hence needs access.

    Basically, unless you needed to enter you password to run something, then it's already "outside" the core os.

  • If you like it, you can join us over on !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.

    If you're like me, you might enjoy reading the comment threads for each episode as you watch them. Each episode got a good bit of discussion when they aired.

    I also posted a bunch of extras pages from the manga that didn't get an equivalent in the anime. You can find these by searching "Monster Tidbits".

  • At times it is. The story has both bright and dark parts, both visually and tonally.

    It depends on the level they are on, and there is also a kind of B plot that happens above ground.

  • A lot of the plot takes place underground, but Dungeon Meshi certainly has that same medieval vibe. And the indoor setting is used to great effect for both cozy and claustrophopic moments.

    It does feature some more colorful locations, because the magic of the Dungeon can make some levels feel like the surface.

    Too much more than that would spoil some things.

    See if you like the vibe of the first opening. It features several locations (with the charachters as giants in them).
