    Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options?

    Jump

  • The openSUSE matrix server had this happen last year, and the admins came up with a good solution of bots that seems to keep things very clean now. I'm sure they might be happy to help if you asked in their admins group

  • What phone can I switch to that gives the least money to American companies?

    Jump

  • Maybe because... automatically recording calls is literally illegal in some places around the world? It should probably be user choice to opt in to that so it wouldn't be on by default. And then, if you have it on while travelling, you could forget and break the law when going through a jurisdiction that does not allow it. Better to explicitly allow for each call, like it does currently.

  • Is it difficult to add them to more trackers? I've often wondered about this, how to keep stuff alive...

  • Does the Proton VPN iOS app send all DNS queries through the tunnel?

  • Arch is the most newbie friendly distro, apparently

    Jump

  • Yeah... I'm laughing at this guy saying the AUR is much better than installing from a random Github repo. Same level of trust haha.

    Also, not everybody NEEDS to know how something works to use it. And, just getting someone onto Linux in the first place with a 90% working system seems better to me than them working hours and hours to build a minimal system in Arch ... because it would take even more hours to replicate their workflow on Windows or Mac. I think this is a great example of "perfect is the enemy of good" when trying to get people to adopt something.

    However, I definitely believe that if you want perfection, you go to Arch or a derivative and you do it yourself, no automation. But that should be a choice... I do plan on one day switching from Tumbleweed to Arch, but I am not ready for the time commitment. Plus, NVIDIA finally fixed their shit, so I want to enjoy playing games for a while now that the weird issues and visual artifacts caused by the old non-explicit-sync drivers are gone!

    Why was the thread about the free VPN Riseup removed, while there's a 2 day old thread about Windscribe, a paid VPN still active?

    Jump

  • I would be interested to know why you are pushing this product across multiple places on Lemmy. Your post, despite disparaging "viral marketers", has a viral marketing tone with statements such as "I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup".

    Additionally, while I do believe a free VPN using an autonomous collective, resource pooling approach is a great idea, in practice this VPN has had... not a great history from my point of view. A quick search shows that in 2017 they were forced to comply with US Law Enforcement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riseup, see the Warrant Canary section. VPNs based in the US are known to be at risk, and this is another good example.

    When choosing a VPN provider, server location is important, as well as company location. You are repeatedly encouraging people to Torrent from a VPN based in one of the most zealous countries opposing file sharing worldwide, and one that has already worked with Law Enforcement.

  • Phoronix forums are insane

    Jump

  • Yeah I actually am slowly realizing that I agree with that. Lots of bigots in Phoronix comment sections... and that doesn't even include the obviously psychotic rants, its just the ones that unashamedly shit on DEI all the fucking time

  • Protonvpn on OpenSUSE Tumblewees

    Jump

  • The GUI version was working a month or so ago, but a recent Tumbleweed update broke openVPN when using port forwarding via natpmpc. Bug report here https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1236718

    Wireguard on the Proton GUI client on Linux is experimental, don't use it except for testing. Use the manual setup, and make sure to test for DNS leaks.

  • FYI - Graphene OS has biometrics with pin

    Jump

  • FYI, for folks currently using a normal PIN and looking to use this, it's intended that the 2nd factor PIN at least be different than the main unlock PIN. Otherwise you can just swipe up to dismiss the fingerprint prompt and get to the main PIN prompt; if its the same as your 2nd factor, that's pointless.

    I was told on the Graphene matrix channel that the most secure configuration for this is:

    Main unlock method: 6 word diceware password

    Secondary unlock method: biometric + 6 character 2nd factor PIN

    Be aware that if you use this config that you will be prompted for the main unlock method (long password) at reboot, and also every 48 hours.

  • With Linux, you can literally do anything that you want. And lots of people are already doing just what you describe, making pretty and functional Desktop Environments and compositors for anyone to use. As a beginner I'd encourage you to check out all the major Desktop Environment options first. You can usually get any of these in most major distros (Cosmic may be less available and mature right now).

    https://www.gnome.org/

    https://kde.org/

    https://system76.com/cosmic/

    Article with others https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/best-linux-desktop-environments/

    Then you can get into compositors, plugins, and other customization, where you can make your system look almost exactly how you want it:

    https://hyprland.org/

    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6099/paperwm/

    https://github.com/Bismuth-Forge/bismuth

    https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri

    These just happen to include tiling because I love tiling haha... I'm sure there are other non-tiling projects you could try out as well.

    Edit: sounds like you may have already rejected a bunch of the status quo Desktop Environments as too boring haha. Then I would encourage you to check out Cosmic, and then the experimental tiling compositors I listed above... I'm sure you will find them unique at the very least!
