What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days? in c/linux@programming.dev
[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

I may sound like an asshole, but before Linux Mint, I would seriously think to go with Debian with KDE. I don't see any downsides, and there are many upsides.

When Do Debian Packages Receive Updates? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 days ago

Minor upgrades don't usually come to Debian at all, unless they are fixing some critical vulnerability or something, but that is usually patched over the previous version anyway.

Recommend me good e-reader in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago

I'm a cheap guy, and honestly I got the cheapest Kindle (I believe 2022) and I've been reading books from Calibre without issues.

No other e-reader was as cheap as that, and it... Just works.

(Sorry if this is a duplicate) Does anybody know why krita still doesn't have wayland? AFAIK it uses and QT and should be possible in c/opensource@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 6 days ago

It's about colors. I'm not an expert, but there is something about professional color stuff that is still in the works to migrate to Wayland.

And of course for Krita it's quite crucial that colours are right.

[Spoilers] I finally watched Hereditary in c/movies@lemmy.world
[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I felt the same. The movie didn't speak to me, not even 2 % of all the impact that Midsommar or Get Out had on me.

But I don't blame Hereditary itself. I have watched really really bad horror movies, forced by friends and family, and Hereditary has at least good acting... It's probably that we simply enjoy other things.

I blame it on the fact that these paranormal horror movies tend to be relatively pointless, or their point isn't really portrayed as well as they think it does. You can't reflect on a deep philosophical thought if you know you are going to get jumpscared in a few seconds.

Having said all this, I must say the movie "Talk To Me" (2022) is one of the few instances of me enjoying a paranormal movie. Still has deep messages throughout the movie, IMO. Hopefully you'll like it too.

Finding activities and hobbies that align with your values and make you groe.

Yes, mindless hobbies are also fine, but for me, participating in local FOSS communities and the like makes it a very fulfilling activity, and a way to learn more things.

reflector will choose mirrors depending on your specific orders.

You have not specified your orders here, so I'm guessing you haven't launched it properly.

Check the Wiki and launch it with your specific needs. Is it speed? Is it updatedness? Global mirrors? Local?

I watched it. A fever dream. Honestly I don't even think the director expected any more than that.

What's the command to keep screen awake (prevent lockscreen)? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

What's up with Overture Maps? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

Wait... why does Linux-libre (and #Freedo) exist? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

Can I use a Broadlink RM4 (Pro) to learn IR codes AND store them somewhere I want? Would be amazing if the format can be transformed with IrScrutinizer too. (Using Home Assistant) (discuss.tchncs.de)

So, what I want to do is basically to be able to publish some of my own IR remotes at home to some public database, very probably IRDB. Of course I'd also be using the device for automations and so on, which I know it works great at that. But my main goal is to make it possible for people to not have to buy a stupid remote for some old hardware they have.

From the docs, it seems like it is possible.

Do you have any experience on this?

What is your go-to app for IR remote? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de to c/android@lemdro.id

I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.

I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app...

Small phone lovers... our era is not over. Yesterday I discovered the Unihertz Jelly Star. I fell in love. I will be reporting back. (www.unihertz.com)

Go and check the link, but essentially:

  • small
  • 2023 release (Android 13)
  • HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
  • NFC
  • 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
  • 256 GB internal storage
  • Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
  • IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
  • LED indicators (front AND BACK)
  • fingerprint scanner
  • face ID
  • FM Radio
  • PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)

I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...

What's the downside?

Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.

It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.

Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.

If you are not sold yet...

Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...

And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.

Will report back.

So, what do you think?

[Home Assistant] Port forwarding? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.

But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.

[Plasma 6] KDE Connect pop up every time I launch remote control (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

This problem existed too in Plasma 5, but I was so excited that after the update to 6, there finally was a toggle for some kind of "don't ask about this again for this device" but it seems to do nothing.

So is this bug ever going to be fixed? Or is it actually not a bug? What are your workarounds? I hate that I have to walk to my TV stand to press enter everytime I turn on the machine.
