  • When the Category Leader Stalls : Postman and the Future of API Tooling

    Jump

  • I am wondering that nobody mentioned https://www.usebruno.com/ yet. Works good enough for our Team. We are sharing the collection allongisde the applications code to keep both in Sync.

  • Another suggestion post (notes)

    Jump

  • You can use Joplin without Paying. You only need to pay for Joplin Cloud for syncing. But you can use a selfhosted Joplin Server or Webdav to sync you notes without it.

  • Donʼt buy fancy wall art city maps, make your own with this free script [powered by OpenStreetMap]

  • Thanks for the info. Looks interesting!

  • I hope he did not get into trouble for this. Even though I would not have choosen violence, I can clearly understand him.

  • I was quite out of the loop, but it sems like TeamSpeak 6 is now a full fledged self-hostable Discord alternative? TeamSpeak 6 Is Back: New Design, Screen Sharing, and More

  • Does the TS6 client work with the TS3 Server? I would assume not. Can you still buy/pay for a Server hosted by them but managed by yourself?

  • This Application Brings macOS Styled Installer for AppImages on Linux

  • For me this sounds all to familiar to Pin It

  • Non-US cloud storage for backup?

    Jump

  • I would like to second this. Me personally I am pretty happy with using a storage Box as one of the Backup locations. It is on the pricier end, so I only use it for backup of certain file types (e.g. not for storing video backups or Disk images)

  • Can you help me out and point me to the transphobic slur in the linker Screenshots? Maybe i do not get "the slang" because Kam not actually familiar with it.

    OK, if it is not within the linked Screenshots then it is lacking context for me. Thats why I asked for mode context. To better understand.

  • How important is a DE to you?

    Jump

  • Actually that's what I like about GNOME. I don't want a ton of customization options, a right-click menu with multiple dozen entries and a settings menu that needs a "table of contents".

    Reduce the UI to such a degree, that you cannot remove anything more without breaking. Thats what I want.

  • I was reading through the conversations (Screenshots) in the link. And based in what is provider there I do not see a problematic statement by antheas (or how he is called). Maybe more context is needed?

  • Here you can find over 200,000 open source vector icons

  • Thanks for sharing this! This is a pretty cool site!

  • GNOME 50 Finally Lands Improved Discrete GPU Detection

    Jump

  • That's an interesting fix. But as someone mentioned in the comments in phoronix the question still is: Will GNOME 50 also allow to pin a certain application to a specifc GPU. But never the less: improvement is improvement.

  • Where is Linux not working well in your daily usage? Share your pain points as of 2026, so we can respectfully discuss

    Jump

  • I think you misunderstood me, or I was not really clear. Whatever. My point was not carrying arround the RPi everywhere all the time. But (maybe) having it as a backup if (!) you are concerned to loose access to Veracrypt at some point for some reason (and you where not able to migrate to a different solution in the meantime). If that does not apply to you: very good! No problem, no solution required.

    If you decided it is to bothersome/inconvenient to install an application to (maybe) solve a problem - > that's also totally fine.

    But then I am asking myself: Does there exist any solution? Maybe not under this requirements. But then again: Having a not as convenient solution as possible, or having no solution at all. But its up to you. You decide what best fits your needs.

    Jump

  • This point I don't get.

    I guess you are afraid that at some point in time you are not able to download Veracrypt from a trusted Source. In this case you can keep a copy of the executable for all the platforms you need. If you are afraid that you might not be able to run it at some point in time (because dependencys are not met): this can be somehow mitigated by the Appimage version of Veracrypt bundling all its dependencies. If you think even this is not good enough: Keep a cheap reaspberry PI with Veracrypt installed arround. Just as a fallback solution to access your drives.

    But if you want a cross platform solution, baked directly into Windows, MacOS and Linux ... I don't see this happening anytime soon.

  • LUKS is Linux only. There isn’t a cross platform way to do FDE on removable media.

    You can try out Veracrypt for that. It is supported on Widnows, macOS and Linux and supports FDE on external drives. At least that's what I am using at work.

  • Laptop OEMs seem to go with fingerprint readers that have no Linux support.

    This was also such a big downer for me on my Lenovo Yoga 370. I could not (for gods sake) get the fingerprint reader to work because it was missing key material that was baked into the Windows Driver but required to communicate with the Fingerprint Reader Hardware.

    Jump

  • There are a lot of things that bother me and could be improved:

    Lacking Hardware support for Fingerprint readers: in my Lenovo Yoga 370 i could not (for gods sake) get the Fingerprint reader to work. But I gave up trying a couple years ago. So it might be working now but i don't know. I know its not the OS fault because it is just missing key Materials and driver support from the manufacturer. But in the end I don't care whose fault it is. It does not work, and that bothers me.

    Not easy to use TPM for LUKS: why doesn't the installer of any distribution use the TPM module for storing the decryption key for LUKS. Or at least make it an option. They are made for that! TPM is not your enemy. Use them to help you! Better to use TPM (with exported strong recovery key) instead of having no encryption at all or a weak password.

    Proper Backup and rollback Baker info the distro: why was only Opensuse able to have an integrated solution for backup and rollback of OS changes and updates? MacOS has this since years (maybe decades...)

    No parental control features: Plesse give me things like settings usage time limits and APP access limitation for specific user accounts. I know I can somehow do this via Polkit. But this is not user friendly and too complicated for typical use cases. I am very happy that GNOME is currently working in a solution for this in GNOME 50 (Propably)

  • At least some form of reality check and accepting reality happened.

  • What paid software is absolutely worth the money?

    Jump

  • This sounds interesting. I tried this like a year ago, but could not get it working. Maybe I should give it a try.
