That sounds very frustrating!

Isn't the latest version of gtk gtk4?

I've used it several times since it was launched and it's always the saving that is a bit awkward. It is a great tool though. I'm using obsidian now purely for it's simplicity

That's pretty shocking tbh

What obsidian plugina do you use? I used the Google keep import but nothing else since then

I just used Virtualbox's auto install feature yesterday and it was insane. Literally just put in name and password and iso and it did the rest.

Haven't used thunderbird in a long time but it looks really nice! Might give it a go again

 

This may be deemed slightly off topic but I felt like this community might know the answer to this. I'm looking for a way to permanently embed information about who is in a photo, but when I search Google I just get some forum posts from 10 years ago. Surely there is something more recent? How would you go about doing this? Let's assume they are JPG.

I thought about this when looking through photos from my grandparents, where the names are written on the back of the photo. I have many digital photos from ten years ago and I've already forgotten the names of some of the people so imagine what it will be like in another 30 years.

But those are just names that already existed? I thought you meant like taking a name like Simon and making it Simonlin or Adam to Adamlin

Never heard of this, what are some examples? Maybe caitlin? Just looked that up, it's an Irish name.

Same, it is super super useful

 

When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.

Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.

I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.

I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

 

Relay finally shut down without subscription - not sure how much I'll really use reddit from hereon out, most of my time is on lemmy anyway

 

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.

 

So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up.

I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.

This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options.

Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.
