Yeah let's just say that android 4.x isn't that great.

Could try to flash a custom ROM with a more up-to-date version of android but the 1GB of ram would not help.

Going for the minimal solution with KOreader and Alpine/PostMarketOS might be the best way to bring this buddy back to an useful state.

Updates I can ssh into the thing since WiFi is working and turn off I use the power button might have to change some devrules because now it's long press is mapped to reboot a single nothing, but that should be about it.

* Yeah cage is an Wayland kiosk, and for what I tested in my main machine runs KOreader with no problem and should have a virtual keyboard.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked? in c/selfhosted

Open-Source Video Editor 'OpenShot' Gets 'Game-Changer' Update in c/[email protected]

[–] ransomwarelettuce 10 points 6 months ago

QT ( free edition ) is FOSS and can only be used in FOSS projects, it's under LGPL license.

If you want to do proprietary stuff you got a QT comercial version and extra tooling to go along with, which you gotta pay a license.

source

The Qt framework is dual-licensed, available under both commercial and open-source licenses.

About KDE nothing weird to see there.

Discussion: Do you donate financially to any OSS projects? in c/[email protected]

[–] ransomwarelettuce 2 points 6 months ago

I make a few donations every year totalling 20€ in january, not much, but maybe one day I can give more, or contribute in other ways.

Take my upvote and kindly get out. Please.

you know what in c/[email protected]

Not a lot but they warn me of weird copy and paste shenanigans. But normally the compiler gives out a warning and when copying text is just simple.

You can configure your editor to do that. I did it in nvim.

However my teachers always told me to stop doing it. I am yet to learn the reason why.

Which Email provider Tuta or Proton? in c/[email protected]

[–] ransomwarelettuce 3 points 6 months ago

I think they are both fine,

I like that tuta is doing just one thing, ( ignoring the new storage feature ), and trying it's best at it.

Proton is going to more of a google approach, however the nonprofit goal they just set is pretty awesome.

I got the tuta's, now non-existent, premium plan, and am using simplelogin relays to protect it. No plan in changing the setup.

Nowadays proton owns simplelogin and I think it offers it's services to customers, a couple bucks cheaper than my impossible setup, so protonmail it's probably the best option nowadays.

Package format wars daydream (self.linux)

Just saw a post of a novice user asking why are there so many package managers.

At first I was about to copy and paste the good old "The OS is yours if you want to make a different package manager you can, and many did".

But then I though

Damn how does Linux have standards !?

And reached a somewhat of conclusion that many of the established standards were established at the early stages of the project, there are of course those who change like the transition from X11 to Wayland the upcoming desktop portals and such.

And here is my hipotesis if the GNU project came up with a good and easy to work package manager in the early days of Linux, do you think we would have so many different ones? Maybe even win the desktop war (OS not DEs)?

Edit: replace package manager with packaging format

Workout routine ( arms and flexibility ) (self.fitness)

It's been a while since I decided to invest in my body.

Usually I focus my workout where I think I am lacking some strength.

For abs and core strength, I have done somewhat this workout and I think I will stick to it, every two-three days I will do:

7 leg raises
20 sit ups
20 russian twists
40 s plank
cobra stretch

I run at weekends so I will skip leg day and as I skate quite a bit as well will try to manage the previous workout with it.

The problem is the arms workout as my wirsts are weak AF since I broke them ( yeah... guys wear your wrists guards ), so I usually crumble doing push ups, what would you guys propose as workout not only to build my arms, but too slowly build up my wrists.

Other problem that I want to work on is flexibility overall I am good but as I get older the more and more I notice my joints are getting quite rusty.

Let's make some noise (self.reddit)

As much, as want to build a great platform as you guys and just leave reddit alone.

I left with a sour taste in my mouth, and feeling sorry for 3rd Party developers for the bullshit move that was done so I will do and ask you to, those who still have an account, do the following:

Install the violentmonkey or tampermonkey extension and add this script to edit all your comments and fill them with random garbage.

script

Alongside that generate a 1GB of noise with ffmpeg with the following command.

ffmpeg -filter_complex "nullsrc=s=1920x1080,geq=random(1)*255:128:128[vout]" -map "[vout]" -t 46 -c:v libx264 out.mp4

idea of this fellow gentleman

And post the noise to every community you are subscribed to, that was forced to open.

After that leave it alone and only comeback after a few days to, if you wish so, delete your account.

Hi lemmings, I trying to do a port of my current rice to eww to reduce dependencies, got my status bar done as well as the powermenu the only thing left was notifications that I din't even implement in my current setup, what's the notification deamon you are using and how do you integrate it with other apps in my case would be just opening a window.
