Hi all,

What do you use to wirelessly project your screen?

I have sunshine / moonlight set up and that works alright but I'm told there are simpler ways and I'm behind the times :p

Is this a thing in FOSS / Linux land? All suggestions welcome and appreciated.

EDIT: I use Graphene on a Pixel 8A

Hi all, hope you're doing well,

I do a lot of work in various VMs and pass through USB devices to move data around

I would like to be able to instead use localsend and other LAN stuff like SMB/moonlight

What is the best way for me to do this? I thought about doing a wireguard tunnel to the host but figured I'd ask in case there's a better way

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I'm having a bad day and did something colossally stupid, deleting everything from /boot/.

The system is still running. What do you think my best course of action is?

My current idea is to create a timeshift backup, reinstall debian from USB, then restore from backup in timeshift

If this won't work or you have a better idea I would really appreciate your advice.

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

I’ve recently moved to pixel/graphene and I’m looking for a more open replacement for spotify.

I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)

I'm testing them all but I'm a bit overwhelmed with choice.

I've heard of 'cracked spotify' apks but not sure what the deal is with those or how trusted they are

I’d like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred.

I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

EDIT: I'm not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.

Hi all,

Sorry for the foolish question but I have to make a quick decision here and trust you to point me in the right direction.

I am about to buy a google pixel phone second hand with cash. (for graphene, not gonna use a sim)

1: What things do I need to be on the lookout for? How can I quickly verify it is unlocked/rootable?

2: Any recommendations on where to buy? I've never used stuff like FB market, craigslist, etc. but I think those places would be my best bet. Please tell me if you have a better idea.

Thanks in advance and hope you have a good rest of your day

EDIT: Graphene in hand! Good to be back on custom roms, rocked cyanogenmod for a long time

Thanks guys

I know this is an outrageously bad idea, I don't need convincing. I am just looking for some more information and discussion on what exactly the exposure and surveillance risk is.

I'm asking both for my own education (I am still very green to networking), and to better explain to people in my life if and why they should care.

1. Is it true that traffic can be tracked and logged by ISP through DNS lookups, as these routers are preconfigured to use their internal dns service?

2. If this is changed (like base.dns.mullvad.net), how much does this actually mitigate the risk here?

3. What about when a VPN (mullvad) is also being used at all times? Would it then be "overly paranoid" to fear this untrusted box all the traffic goes through?

I personally take a conservative approach to things like this and assume it's an unacceptable risk, but I don't really understand what the truth is.

Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.

EDIT: I'm asking about US and US adjacent areas

Hello all,

Just wondering if there are any projects involving lemmy and .onion

I searched and didn’t see anything but I figured I’d ask

If not is there a reason this isn’t possible? Or has nobody cared to do it yet?

When I have to visit r****t I use a libreddit hidden service, and there are quite a few to choose from. Am I correct to think a similar mirror should be about as easy to implement for Lemmy?

an onion only instance where it never touches the clearnet would be really cool too but it would probably be a ghost town (sadly).

Love to hear your thoughts

Thanks
