  • Change => changing behavior etc. That is not a problem at all as long as it 100% compatible - which in this case is very hard to prove. The way to introduce change is therefore to say it is a new, different, standard. API version 2 or a new protocol, and let users migrate over to that by requesting the new version/protocol etc.

    One difference is though that Ubuntu 26.10 is a new release(not LTS) so you would need to have a migration process anyway.



    • I am on wired workstation computer - it does not have a battery
    • Turning off power management in that tool help. Nice, now I can use it for real 😁 Maybe have menu “Dictation Service” -> Power Management On/Off would have helped me or something.
    • When power management on and it were inactive, then when I pressed the hotkey button to talk or use the CLI --toggle, then I would expect it to actually start the service and show the splash counter and listen. Currently the user have to go to the menu and start the service manually if it has been idle. CLI show: “TuxTalk is loading its speech model. Recording starts as soon as it’s ready.” but I don’t know when I can start to speak as I never see anything.

    As far as showing the text as you speak, I tried that before and there’s a slight delay and I found that you’re trying to read it as you’re speaking and it just messes up your cadence because you’re still speaking as you’re reading what you just said. I’ll look into that again if people seem to really want that, but in practice I found it very distracting. Is there something else that you use where that works properly and you find it to be valuable?

    • Showing the text to me is just about knowing when to stop talking as it failed to recognized the correct language. I use the parakeet model that can’t limit language. However, I don’t know if I really need that feature, I will test more.

    • This is better than Handy for me as it does not cut the first letter in the output text and it does not consume 1 GB of RAM.

    • In snippets I have an idea to ‘You say’ and have an action to just run a command line program. Then I could have You say ‘Open firefox in incognito mode’ to run the command ‘firefox -private-window’. But maybe that is better suited for other applications that have AI and try to be assistents.










  • Not Authentik, something home made. Wireguard is unfortunately open for the whole world but as far as I know there has not been any security whole in it. But Wireguard is at least a security product. It is not about hiding my public IP. It is about closing the attack surface. Bots cant connect to my home server at all. This means zero days vun cant be used. Yes, Oracle server can be compromises but it itself cant connect to my home server and it cannot authenticate any user as it does not have my phone to do that. It just generate an internal adress that is only accessible when connected with Wireguard. So only those I manually add have a chance and I will notice if the source IP is wrong or if it was not generated by that server as I use public key that is just base64 encoded url


  • Wireguard VPN. I actually have a public hosted Oracle server that when authentic opens port 443 for that source IP temporary so no VPN will be needed. Computer visit free pub Oracle VM. Android Phone scan QR, start Wireguard and auth that user. Computer can now reach my home server on port 443 and 22 for 24 hours as the source IP is allowed.

    I do this instead of crowdsec etc. I expect zero days vulnerabilities that someone will utilize so dont trust nginx and ssh to be wide open.



  • I am just trying to understand where the problem is. To me it looks like a way to lure Windows users to Linux. Yes, we all have different opinions but that is exactly what all Linux distros are for. Since Omarchy is open source I don’t see a big problem. It is not backed by Google or someone else so there is no monopol here that cant be won.

    I just see it as a experiment, showcase, of what can be done and what people actually want. That other distributions can copy and take the good parts from.
