Clearly the dark mode is the modern one! Jokes aside, I just realized that there THREE menu options on that toolbar: hamburger, kebab, and waffle! I realize they do different things, but no wonder people are confused by and scared of computers. Also, now I'm hungry!
Antennapod is a Free Open Source Software (FOSS) podcast app. The app is well designed with great features. You can also use it for playing audio books locally as well.
Right? The zip ties even have trimmed tails!
I would recommend Tailscale for connecting to the home network. You could run it on each box if running it on the router is wonky.
I'm partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.
While this is a valid advice normally, OP has already tried this with Linux on a netbook and a dual boot chromebook. Since OP wants to do AV stuff it's probably going to be a lot better experience with a desktop (assuming more capable than laptop) and monitor(s). Going another laptop route might be fine for learning but OP wants to switch and that's not going to happen unless it's on OP's main rig.
My advice would be leave the windows installation alone and add a new drive (SSDs are pretty cheap these days) and install Linux on that. Use the BIOS to set the default drive to the new Linux drive and install and use Linux. You'll have your windows install exactly how it is when you want to go back and just pick that as the boot device from the boot menu. Making Linux the default boot drive also helps with habit forming.
VirtualBox is free and open source, the windows guest additions piece is not. However, they're both available for free download from the same site and they do not make any distinction between those two (at least at the time, haven't looked). They were waiting for companies to download the guest additions piece and going after them to shake down licensing fees. While I don't recall/know exactly, it seemed like they were almost exclusively going after companies they already had commercial relationships with to add more licensing fees to existing contracts. So yes, from my perspective they were shaking down customers after trying to entrap them with ambiguous free downloads. They had the legal right to do so, but it felt in bad faith.
I would recommend looking into Syncthing. I use it on all my devices and share specific folders between devices (notes mostly) and all folders back to the server. The server then backs all that up offsite as well.
Like the other user said following tags is a great way to engage with things you choose. Along the way, you'll find people that you find interesting and then you can follow them directly. It's much less about seeking people and more letting them come to you.
Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn't. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.
Hello Afi, it's great that you've decided to open source your software and want to drive transparency. If you're willing to share, I have a couple questions.
While it's great that the data collection can be transparently observed, it's not just the actual collection that's problematic. Data ownership, protection, storage, usage, associating with other data sources, creation of personas (accurate or misleading) is concerning.
Lastly, and unrelated, what made you choose an MIT license instead of say AGPL that would better protect your product/company while still being open source? I like the MIT license a lot, just curious.
Wish you the best in your open source journey!
Look here buster that was a stretch at best!
Not what you're asking for and others have provided a lot of options... but if you still want to support authors and get DRM-free audio books, check out https://libro.fm. It works like Audibe credits and easy to pause and resume membership (more cost effective than buying books retail and you can buy extra credits). They also support a local brick and mortar book store of your choice with your purchase.
It's quite a different use case, it's meant to facilitate wireless transfer between any device through a browser tab without having to have any local software installed first. So think more like sharing full resolution photo to a friend's device who is connected to the same wifi as you by just both of you opening the same url, snapdrop.net or pairdrop.net (fork with more features) or your own selfhosted url.
I also think that comment trees are much easier to follow than forum posts. The way Lemmy is right now is pretty great: communities (sub-topics) with threads (posts) which can be sorted but with comment trees that aren't sorted based on "algo"/votes.
An used Pixel 6 is probably the best bang for your buck. I got lucky and found one for $185 in good condition on backmarket.com. I've also bought used phones from swappa.com and have had a great experience.
Oh wow, I had blocked out the virtual box guest additions debacle/shake-down from my memory. It almost felt like entrapment, the way they went about it.
After reading that post and the linked github issues, with the latest updates and comments from the last 24 hours. Here's the TL;DR:
Please correct me if I missed something.
You can go into F-droid settings and add the repo that way. Then it will offer your versions from both F-droid and IzzyOnDroid.
I pasted the link you can click from your phone for convenience. But it's always best to follow instructions on the official website instead of trusting randos like me.
Wow what an interesting video and the explanation style is so unique. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs and started years ago. Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea when the primary authors of Gitea created a company of the same name to provide paid support (there's history there you can look up) but Gitea remains free and open source. Forgejo, supported by Codeberg, is a community fork and will upstream to Gitea.
Gitea/Forgejo is a great option, they recently even added build actions which are compatible with Github Actions.
Racknerd.com has their Black Friday deals page still active and I've had good experience with their shared hosting and support!
These puns got me all wheezy!
Is plasma more lightweight than gnome?
I've been very happy with https://omnivore.app. It's not quite fully self-hosted yet, they're working on it. But I prefer it over wallabag.
The file browser looks like windows. But the top bar is very Mac like, maybe if you put a start menu it would help. But to get a windows feel, you'll need the start menu, application window bars, and the status info all at the bottom (default windows).
Cinnamon is a much more Windows look and feel DE.
Not sure about the Lemmy part of the question... but it'll definitely be safer to run nginx on a VPS and then communicate with your basement box over tailscale. That doesn't expose your home ip for your services. The other thing you can look into is using a wildcard cert so the specific services you're ruining aren't enumerated in your DNS, might not be necessary since you have nginx sitting in front.
That's right, to add a bit more color, any of Proton mail paid plans allows you to use Proton Bridge (which runs locally and speaks IMAP to your mail client).
Yeah worth the reduced headache. Good luck!
The comments here have been the most measured and useful about this topic, glad you got great information that others can benefit from now.
Both wallabag and omnivore.app have mobile sharing.
Matrix (synapse server) probably fits the bill.
I've been running pop for a few years and pretty happy with it. Also, if you're interested, their window manager is a great way to get into tiling without having to fully commit.
Thanks for the detailed and thoughtful response, I really appreciate it. Yeah, I'm not a fan of centralizing everything and hence avoid cloudflare. Good to know the differences with namecheap and porkbun. I have my account loaded with credit on namecheap to get API access. I'll use that up and then move over to porkbun. Thanks again!
Do you mind sharing the things that you find better at porkbun over namecheap. I have domains scattered over there registrars and might use this as an impetus to consolidate. I've been okay with namecheap but not sure what I'm missing out.
I upvoted your comment from the comment view and it registered, I verified on the web.
I'm replying to your comment from the inbox, let's see if it goes to you or me!
I've been looking at voip.ms but haven't tried it yet. Need to figure out my usage in a typical month to get a cost idea and figure out a voip/sip app. This is more of a fully control destiny type approach. The other option, more appealing but not as flexible, it's MagicApp by MagicJack. I used MagicJack internationally for years and it worked great, it's probably the best bet.
You don't see that link icon? That's interesting!
It's still a good thing. It's an open specification, so anyone creating a design that is compliant can use software targeted at RISC-V. Just like you can buy USB-C flash drive from any manufacturer and use it with any OS that supports USB mass storage!
