  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels and it may never look back

    Jump

  • I mean good for them for finally pulling their head outta their ass but this is again for rich people only. y'all who don't got no bricks of cash to spend on new & shiny slabs of glass - get fucked as usual.

  • LUKS decrypt at boot over SSH?

    Jump

  • no, I mean the drive is encrypted and I don't gotta bother with shred.

  • LUKS decrypt at boot over SSH?

    Jump

  • I've recently upgraded my hard drives used for storage. and because I ain't made of money, I wanted to sell the old drives. shredding those things took ages (4 TB drives). lesson learned, new drives are btrfs + LUKS that gets unlocked via key file. so when the time comes to sell those, I won't bother with shredding, just sell them as is.

  • LineageOS 23.0 first release!

    Jump

  • anyone tried Catapult? what state is it in?

  • Why Signal over Jabber/XMPP?

    Jump

  • to answer your question - if you wanna eventually talk to normies. like cute boy/girl you meet at a bar or a business contact from a random meet. even Signal has dogshit penetration compared to the big players, so XMPP/Matrix/Briar/etc aren't even a blip on the dradis.

    also, you sorta sidestepped the UX. if you're coming off the hyper-polished world of Telelgram and iMessage, all those things have dogshit UX. yes, you'll eventually find your way around them but you have to be motivated to endure them ugly and slow and unrealiable apps (comparatively speaking); you got that shit covered, your contacts do not.

    the situation is kinda like with The Linux Desktop - it's competing with gargantuan corpos with unlimited resources, and to add to that the miniscule dev teams aren't working together, they're competing, pulling in different direction (Gnome, Plasma, Cinnamon, etc.) with duplicated efforts and tons of abandoned paths. can you imagine where we'd be if all that dev effort went towards one goal?

    same thing with the messenger space, it's doubtful any of them will become mainstream, but they have their uses.

  • that's a... mature, measured, and well thought-out reply. good job!

  • I mean this is certainly something somebody wrote, but the content is a joke.

    first off, it's from the 80s, so it might as well be from the 1800s, that's how much it has to do with our everyday lives. second, it's rife and overflowing with prepper-adjacent gas and fantasies. the writer's style is lacking, to be overly generous and the whole thing gives off vibes from the days or alt.* newsgroups. finally, the "advice" in there is laughably naive and sometimes just plain wrong.

    so thanks OP, had a few laughs browsing it but this got deleted almost instantly.

  • Beginner: New Ubuntu install - Wifi card issue

    Jump

  • the answers over there are wild... got no experience with windows in the last decade, but how's that a thing, what the wifi has nvram or something so it has to be power-starved? why would it have that? never heard of it, can anybody shed some light?

    sorry OP can't help, that shoulda been the plugandplayest thing out there - intel wifi in a thinkpad.

  • Last-minute /boot boost for Fedora 43

    Jump

  • I do a custom install with systemd-boot where i have one 2 GB EFI partition that's mounted at /boot; used to be at /efi but it bothered me I can't tab-complete /etc. I've been wanting to give UKI a go but can't get around to it.

  • FreeTube + Customized MPV: Guide to a Temporary Solution

    Jump

  • another option that works for me is macast. that's a DLNA sink that you can send youtube (and other) videos to and it plays it via mpv, in full screen if you so desire. it also accepts jellyfin, you can control it remotely (via AllCast).

    so I'm browsing videos in newtube on my phone, send them to allcast, and that one sends them to macast. sounds convoluted but its like three taps and an alternative to chromecast.

  • External trackpad for Linux?

    Jump

  • pre-2010 macbooks can be had for like $10 nowadays. those had the touchpads (and webcam, keyboard, etc) connected via USB to the system. pinouts are available on the net and with a little bit of effort and maybe 3D printing you can have your bespoke rig.

    Jump

  • rooting for the guys although I don't want none of them things. I run my device without a modem on (hopefully I disabled it correctly) and I want it to run like my other shit runs - I turn it on when I want it, no doing shit in the background nobody asked it to, syncing to the clown, none of that.

    the results are awesome - I get like days of standby out of a severely degraded battery that can't manage a whole day under android. still, I understand that other people need this stuff. for me, SMS and calls utilizing the utterly broken, insecure, and definitely compromised telecom infra shouldn't be a thing in 2025.

  • 1 week using a Linux Phone | Jolla C2 Community Phone with Sailfish OS

    Jump

  • that's kinda implied, without that premise it shouldn't even be considered. i'm just saying that this hurdle in the form of a paid licence for just taking a look at the thing is terminally off-putting.

  • Fedora on a 2012 Macbook Pro (Retina)

    Jump

  • I had that machine so I know what I'm talking about. A 13 year old machine with anemic cooling and lead-free solder issues (GMUX crapping out) that heats up like a motherfucker is not something to game on. So it's not a question of "can" but "should". Then again, it's your laptop, do what you want.

  • get the serial off the bottom case, go to everymac and look it up. if it's a 15" model, that one has the T2 chip and needs a special variant, look up t2linux
