  • yeah the foil thing is a usual go-to in them affairs; don't consider it as it's hella expensive and I seriously doubt I haz the skillz to pull this off - just imagine trying to cut out the keyholes and fitting them so they cover everything and it's taut and adhered everywhere...

  • SMTP service

    Jump

  • it's known that google doesn't want you to use email, they want you to use gmail. same as how all those fucks co-opt standard protocols (XMPP, ActivityPub, etc.) and then defederate it and make it their own walled, proprietary thing.

    I ran a slew of geo-dispersed mail servers for a decade+; not really spam as it's willing recipients but essentially not that far from it, either. also fully compliant, experimenting with voodoo-adjacent tips for improving deliverability (none of them work). so glad to be out of that racket.

    anyhoo, you can utilise mailchimp/sendinblue/etc as they have a direct pipe into gmail/outlook infra and are not subject to any of those harassment tactics, which is basically payola. the prices last time I was involved with checking things weren't that much better (worse in fact, if you add the costs of running all that shit) than transferring everything to gmail and friends, which is their ultimate goal.

  • Bitcoin gets a zero price target in wake of Burry warning

    Jump

  • I mean, I can't stand anything related to any of the shitcoins, but that dude is a clown so don't really matter what he does or does not say. also who are those clowns publishing this? alls I know is their site is fucking cancer.

  • Closed apps catfishing as FOSS via Google's AI results?

    Jump

  • I mean, you do you, but if you're gonna go the FOSS way, you kinda hafta ditch google and especially its "AI" bullshit.

    otherwise, that'd be like you turning vegan and going to a steakhouse and be all like "what salads y'all got"

  • Some questions about distro-hopping

    Jump

  • if you're on fedora, your file system is btrfs. that one has subvolumes, think partitions as folders that you don't hafta pre-size.

    so what you can do is install this endeavour thing in its own subvolume; presently you got root (fedora) and home. so you install the new os in /newroot, mount it at / and mount the existing home in its /home.

    you don't mount the old root at all, so fedora is ready and waiting when you grow tired of the new toy, and all your shit is there, no need to backup, restore, miss something etc.

    the windows partition is easily taken care of, just format it as btrfs and add it to the existing file system.

    this wipe and reinstall way isn't a thing over here, as it's rarely needed. good luck!

  • The new web UI for lemmy 1.0.0 is looking CLEAN

    Jump

  • how does that work, like can I post to a "linux" multicom, comprised of all the linux communities? and if so where does that post go?

  • Fairphone 6 review: cheaper, repairable and longer-lasting Android

    Jump

  • I mean good for them, but at that price and them specs that's an insanely expensive thing.

    seeing as how it's directed at enthusiasts i.e. people who'll fiddle with their phone, I contend that those people are equally likely to pick up an used ex-flagship of some years, flash lineageOS and have at least an equal device at like a tenth of the price.

    the repairability - cool, it's better if it's there than not. but, I stress for the intended audience, swapping out batteries and cameras and stuff is perfectly achievable on normal phones. and even if it isn't, $50 gets me an immensely powerful SDM8xx device, so dicking around with replacing parts at that price point is more of a hobby than necessity.

    this thing with those specs should cost like $200. engineering efforts should be spent at identifying soon-to-be abandoned models from existing manufacturers and taking over production, not on designing bespoke parts and fucking lanyard covers and whatnot.

  • Too Good To Go: API client (Python)

  • Why This Computer Scientist Says All Cryptocurrency Should "Die in a Fire"

    Jump

  • the article is from 2022. also, prof. weaver is fun to listen to, although a bit grating at times; check out his appearance on "factually"

  • Geo-distributed Jellyfin

    Jump

  • don't know what "slow" means in your case, but jellyfin clients have a buffer setting and increasing it should improve things for them.

  • Is there a list of apps that microG gives users access to?

    Jump

  • yeah of course. if you go the non-microG lineageOS way, every app has to implement its own checking for messages, that's a significant drain on battery. there are non-google push alternatives, like UnifiedPush, but the app has to be written to specifically support it - element x, conversations and clones, Molly (Signal fork), KDE Plasma, etc. have it. but if you want an app from the play store, they predominantly can't handle push on their own, you hafta open them manually and check for e.g. messages.

    also, the notifications you receive via FCM aren't readable by google, it's just a signal for your app to wake up, then the app's handler goes to its server, fetches the message and then locally forms and displays the notification.

    Signal Contingency Plan (spoiler: it's Delta Chat)

    signal-contingency-plan.info

  • Is there a list of apps that microG gives users access to?

    Jump

  • it implements a subset of play store features, notably a client for GCM/FCM so push notifications work. you can see which ones are subscribed in microG settings.

    no idea how the three apps you mentioned work with that stack. maybe it's time to look for alternatives, not just for this stack's sake.

    you know these cats? because the site is joke; like, check out the faq. and says "we" a lot, who's that? who's moderating spam and scams and abuse and such? how are they financing the infra? the name, dios mio...

  • Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind Nginx Proxy Manager?

    Jump

  • maybe open with what this is, first time I heard of it. to anyone similarly clueless, that's a proxy for other people to use that can't get at Signal's servers because it's blocked in their country or sumsuch.

    in nginx you set up a proxy, like mysignalproxy.net:80 gets proxy_pass to your internal network's 172.16.12.34:980 and the same for 443

    the simplest config is thus:

     
        
server {
    listen 80 http;

    server_name mysignalproxy.net;

    proxy_pass http://172.16.12.34:980/;

    proxy_pass_request_headers on;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    etc

  • What should I expect switching to Fedora?

    Jump

  • who's "desperate"? I don't wanna reboot to get new package updates. that's a stupid concept that was done with in like Windows 98 days. I don't reboot my desktop or my phone for weeks, that's hella comfortable and I'm not going back from that.

    if the crowd pushing the immutable stack would lead with that, or at very least mention it, I'd keep shtum.

  • How much more "safer" is data on a phone with LineageOS vs manufacturer rom? If you have 20+ character password on a Lineage OS phone and cops take it, they can't get in, right?

    Jump

  • that is the safest scenario, as safe as non-lineage android can be. they can't mount your encrypted filesystem and get shit off it as it's BFU.

    the unlocked bootloader people are referencing plays no role in this setup, as all they can do with it is potentially install shit that will get at your stuff after you unlock it. naturally, that phone get tossed and never used again.

    two points:

    • the xkcd wrench comic
    • compartmentalization

  • Which distro is closest to 'GUI/UX for everything, absolutely no CLI' approach like Windows or Mac + and just works (ie passes LTT Linux test)

    Jump

  • I haven't kept up with that clown but if that's a reference to the time he attempted to switch, that was a top-gear-like slapstick show, consisting of making wrong turns at every fork and having outliers galore in the form of some hardware he and one other dude on the entire planet got. that show of his is infotainment, as in not a reliable source of information.

    you go with the beginner-friendliest distro, with the widest distribution which is ubuntu. that ain't the distro I'm running, but it's something you need to go through to figure out how this shit runs. after you've been around the block a time or two and you start bumping your head at the ceiling, you'll have enough experience to switch to something better.

  • What should I expect switching to Fedora?

    Jump

  • you have an excellent path as you can truly appreciate fedora only if you've been through ubuntu's abuse i.e. the snap crap. my contention is that fedora should never be the first distro, but the next step, after you've figured out what's what with ubuntu or mint.

    KDE don't got "closer relations" with fedora, it's just that you'll get new shit sooner. and fedora is the antithesis of LTS.

    the only issue hindering normal, everyday use is rectified by following the step-by-step instructions from rpmfusion (codecs and GPU drivers).

  • What should I expect switching to Fedora?

    Jump

  • not this. you need to reboot every time to get new shit. that's antithetical to how I've used desktopS (plural, yo) since the early aughts. my shit gets suspended in the evening and woken in the morning with all apps and windows how I left them. rebooting and breaking my flow makes this thing is a non-starter.
