Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•BluRay/UDH Rippers?English
2·8 days agoNice, that works? Fantastic!
Note, MakeMKV for Linux has source code available at least, so not fully proprietary.
Could you make a tutorial post on the exact setup? For NixOS at least VLC itself needs patching
How so?

Linux@programming.dev•Talk of AI in KDE sets the community ablaze
1013·11 days agoAnd the crazy part is nobody seems to have listened to the talk?
Yes there was some ambiguity, but AI was always an additional tool, and the focus was
- Changing the desktop paradigm to solve tasks rather than work with files (nothing new)
- Stressing ethical, small and local models
- Protecting users that de facto already use agents and CLI tools with sandboxes and safeguards inside the OS, including automatic masking of personal data. This is really cool and important!
Also dont forget that this was an idea to play around with, not “we want KDE to only be this now”
That is… not a good name lol

privacy@lemmy.ca•tv/streaming boxes that are easy to set-up and use?

How is klarna in there?
I mean they suck, I am pretty sure they breached my phone number, but how are they relevant?

privacy@lemmy.ca•tv/streaming boxes that are easy to set-up and use?
1·28 days agoOk, linux is too much. No damn idea, pretty sure there is nothing
But seriously an automatically updating linux distro with a browser is not that much.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Does Libreboot prevent unauthorized USB boot, aka somebody boot another OS and wipe your drive?
2·1 month agoIdk if libreboot is coreboot+ a specific payload.
But in edk2 which is used in dasharo you can set some UEFI boot targets and disable usb boot yes, of course also set a firmware password.
There is also HEADS which is another payload of coreboot and can use a hardware security key to need to approve boot drives. Makes most sense with very stable distros like Qubes though as you dont constantly re-sign everything

51·1 month agoWhat you need is a mini PC with good hardware decoding ability, a linux distro and a web browser.
Many would use a raspberry pi or similar device, as they are quite performant afaik and really small and efficient. Though, they are ARM which means some niche software or even entire widevine DRM (used in browsers for spotify, netflix etc) might not work.
So instead, something cool: you can get a chromebox with socketed RAM on the used market. I have one from Acer that has an m.2 slot, 2 ram slots, plenty of USB and even thunderbolt! And the best part, basically all x86 ChromeOS devices can be corebooted with mrchromebox.tech 's work.
(Using an m.2-to-multi-sata-adapter, PC power supply, sata-to-fan adapters, pc fans, sata cables and a custom rack you can make a NAS out of any of these chromeboxes, which runs regular Linux, can have plenty of RAM and has open source firmware!)
So you not only have a small linux pc, but it also runs free firmware and you can disable the intel ME!
And then some Linux distro with Plasma Bigscreen. It is not full fledged but apparently works good with KDE Connect. But you can also use regular KDE or GNOME (with GSConnect or something newer I cant find).
for streaming (if you really want to endure that) you could use Firefox, or with Brave you could even create Webapps. Those are separate .desktop files and might automatically show up in plasma-bigscreen!
As distro just something that reliably auto-updates. NixOS for sure but manual setup, Fedora Kinoite would work too. A universal blue based TV variant would be really cool (because Fedora cant legally ship patented codecs for h264, h265, aac etc). You could always take the kinoite-main image and layer the additional packages.
Install Kinoite normally, then rebase. Not sure if the first one is still needed.
rpm-ostree rebase --reboot ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:latest reboot rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/kinoite-main:latestThis repo seems to contain all the things needed to configure a base fedora kinoite system to work with plasma bigscreen. A few files and a few packages.

9·1 month agoCrazy, you cant even report sites on Qwant?
But you can on DuckDuckGo
Yeah, and additionally you shouldnt do anything else on that VPN
And expect that any file you downloaded might have been modified, so check everything for malware! You could also use ffmpeg in a temporary VM and remux everything to be sure there is no weird stuff embedded in media containers. Niche threat but this could work



















Favourite, for beginners or for people who wanna learn?
That would be nixos, fedora kinoite (ublue main image) or anything you build up yourself a bit like debian or arch maybe
