It reminds me of Nicodemus from The secret of NIMH

What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives? in c/[email protected]
[–] Flying_Cucumber 1 points 7 months ago

I've tried, but it was not easy at all and I sadly finally gave up because it uses Redis and that Redis needs some specific instructions that are not available for old/low end CPUs like the one I have in my homelab. The best self-hosted alternative I found at the time was FidusWriter. Probably not the best solution for OP, but still an OK self-hosted alternative to Overleaf.

Hi, I've recently read here on Lemmy an article stating that an extension of the ActivityPub protocol to support facebook marketplace's like transaction is being considered, but I don't have any more detail

Gphoto2 integration in Dolphin in c/[email protected]

Thanks for your idea! I've just checked and I have it already installed so that's not it sadly...

Gphoto2 integration in Dolphin (self.archlinux)
 

Hi everyone!

I've recently migrated from Manjaro KDE to Endeavour KDE, keeping my home folder thanks to a separate partition.

On Manjaro, I used to plug my Canon camera on USB, and it would be mounted and show up in dolphin automatically, where I could browse it as any USB drive. Since I migrated, my camera isn't recognised anymore. I installed libgphoto2, and the camera triggered a popup when I plugged it, but the 'browse' button opens dolphin, and nothing happens, I end up in my home folder as if I had opened up dolphin normally and the camera is nowhere to be seen.

With gphoto2, I'm able to see and read the content of the camera, same with digikam. My guess is somewhere some kind of link is missing between dolphin and libgphoto2.

I've also installed kio-extras, nothing changed.

Could anyone help me find out how to get my camera to show up in dolphin as it used to do?

Thanks for your help!

What OS to run on fp4 in c/[email protected]
[–] Flying_Cucumber 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah for me I can't seem to remember if I ever had a crash on it, so on that part no worries. When you setup your phone, they ask you if you want to create an account on their cloud, but you can do without. If I remember well, it's only the note application that needs it to work, but you can always download another one and never mind again. If you choose to create an account, you get 1Go of free storage, but as it syncs your whole storage (pictures, documents...), it gets filled up instantly and then regularly reminds you to either upgrade or clear up your storage. I couldn't find a way to set the folders I wanted to sync, so it kept annoying me until I removed my account from my device. Finally recently I've set up a Nextcloud instance and as their Murena cloud is a fork of it (if I remember well), the note application works with no further configuration if you hayve the Nextcloud app. Finally, on the iOS style, I personnaly hate it. So I tried a few FOSS launchers day 1 (can't bear to have a homescreen filled with ads), and settled with NeoLauncher, which offers a pretty standard Android experience, with the customizable homescreen and the app drawer. It can even hide the few native apps I couldn't uninstall, like the default browser and the default note app when I was not using it. So yeah, I definitely recommend you to give it a shot.

I personnally run /e/os on my FP3 and my experience so far has been pretty seamless! Completely De-Googled, and the FP4 is one of the most well maintained build as far as I know. Would recommend!

I personally use it with Neo Launcher, which is FOSS, set it up to show round icons for this very reason you're pointing out. Once done, the experience is great!
