Which makes it even weirder, it’s not even ai generated.

The “it’s more lean on resources” always seemed to me like a strawman people don’t like it came up with to diss on Gentoo.

Wait but isn’t being more lean a good thing? Or am I misunderstanding how they’re using that word?

It’s pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp which lets you select a part of the screen.

I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.

I’m not sure about the others, but I’m pretty sure Hitman isn’t linux native.

As far as I can find on protondb, neither are Deus Ex or Tomb Raider.

I’ve never had any issues running those games through Proton though, so that’s great.

tl;dr: bcachefs dev sent in a massive pull request, linus thinks it’s too big and touches too much other code for the current state of the release cycle, dev says his filesystem is the future and should just be merged

Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.

You could also host a website like that on Cloudflare pages for free. That way you even get ddos protection and some other stuff.

That’s not the only issue, fat32 also has a hard limit on single file size. The largest a single file can be is 4GiB, and afaik you just can’t get around that with fat.

iirc, the way windows deals with this in its media creation tool is that it strips out locales and other things you don’t need, based on the options you selected previously, so the file ends up being small enough to fit.

Wait why was iso not intended to be used like this? As far as I can see, it was always meant as a digital image of a CD, which is how it was used, and pretty much still is right?

iirc there was a reason you should use dd instead of directly copying the data, I think something to do with device block alignment or something?

No, the drive needs a boot partition for the bios to know there is something to be booted on the drive.

Most Linux ISO’s do properly include the partitions in the ISO, so you can clone the iso to a drive and that should work, using dd for example. But just copying the files won’t work.

iirc windows iso’s did use to support just creating a fat32 partition and moving all the files over, not sure how they managed that. But now the international ISO for win 11 has a file that’s more than the max 4Gb allowed by fat32, so you can’t do that anymore either.

Can’t you just install openbox on any other distro? Looks like it’s available for all the major ones at least.

This is not true. I’ve seen a lot of people from my own country and others claim the same thing, but so far every time I’ve looked it up for countries it turned out to not be true.

You just have to be clear about which payment methods you accept upfront.

Couldn’t you, theoretically, create one massive QR code containing all that data? You’d need a massive camera sensor to get the resolution required to actually decode it though.

I think they’re both good for different use-cases. I use nextcloud myself on a truenas system. I sync things like my pictures to nextcloud, and delete them from my phone after I’ve sorted them into the correct folders.

This way my data isn’t clogging up my phone and other things, is still available from anywhere (as long as my home internet doesn’t go down), and it’s still safely stored on redundant storage.

This does take a bit more setting up than something like syncthing, though it wasn’t very difficult at all. Basically install the docker image, tell it where my data goes, and set up a new dns record if you want it publicly accessible. I personally run it through a zerotier network so I don’t have to do that.

I use Material Files (from f-droid) as my default file manager, which includes support for mounting FTP, SFTP, SMB, and webdav shares. It doesn’t handle the connection getting interrupted very well, so if that happens i have to restart the app. Other than that it’s been working great for my SMB share.

I’m pretty sure the average user doesn’t even know what a “server” really is, let alone know how to set up an FTP server.

Also a lot of desktops don’t have bluetooth

Aren’t you supposed to not kill cockroaches? i thought it’d attract more or something

That one seems to only do remote streaming over network. Droidcam can be used over a USB connection as well, which works much more reliably (than the wireless version of droidcam, at least) in my experience.
