3·13 days agoDeedum has fallen behind and doesn’t support recent android it seems. Same for the only other client in fdroid, Pocket Gopher.

40·13 days agoGopher guarantees readers that there will never be anything other than text and media served on a site. They don’t have to trust the publisher, the protocol enforces it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•CachyOS boot partition usage limit has exceeded (limine-snapper-notify)English
4·16 days agohttps://discuss.cachyos.org/t/boot-partition-usage-limit-is-exceeded/21452
This seems to be not uncommon problem with default setup of cachy. Recommendations there are that 2gb default for /boot is too small and some other tips to slim it down.
I see this with flatpaks, the solution might be to grant permission to the app to the part of the filesystem your dragging from with flatseal/cmdline.
HOWEVER I do think the desktop is missing a pop-up which offers to do this for you when it happens. This is how android does it when an app needs access outside its own files, you just get a prompt to allow it.
This is the sandbox future - it’s safer and you can trust that apps can’t go snooping around your system but users shouldn’t need to fiddle with perms all the time to get stuff done.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.English
5·19 days agoThis is my thought too. Your screenshots don’t show cpu freq. Everything can appear normal on other measures but if your cpu has throttled right back it’ll run slow with no obvious cause. I have seen this on certain laptops when external peripherals are added/removed after waking from sleep. Sometimes forcing sleep/wake or a reboot will fix.
Use
lscpuat the cmdline or better yet install gnome extension ‘system monitor next’ and put the cpu freq graph in your top bar to watch it in realtime.https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3010/system-monitor-next/
Check the app’s own docs first, there is something here about automating backups:

22·19 days agoThe EFF have a page on this, setting out the threats:
https://www.eff.org/wp/unintended-consequences-16-years-under-dmca
…which is mostly a link to:
https://www.eff.org/files/2014/09/16/unintendedconsequences2014.pdf
…whose summary reads as follows.
The “anti-‐circumvention” provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), codified in section 1201 of the Copyright Act, have not been used as Congress envisioned. The law was ostensibly intended to stop copyright infringers from defeating anti-‐piracy protections added to copyrighted works.[1] In practice, the anti-‐circumvention provisions have been used to stifle a wide array of legitimate activities. As a result, the DMCA has become a serious threat to several important public policy priorities:
The DMCA Chills Free Expression and Scientific Research.
Experience with section 1201 demonstrates that it is being used to stifle free speech and scientific research. The lawsuit against 2600 magazine, threats against Princeton Professor Edward Felten’s team of researchers, and prosecution of Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov have chilled the legitimate activities of journalists, publishers, scientists, students, programmers, and members of the public.
The DMCA Jeopardizes Fair Use.
By banning all acts of circumvention, and all technologies and tools that can be used for circumvention, the DMCA grants to copyright owners the power to unilaterally eliminate the public’s fair use rights. Already, the movie industry’s use of encryption on DVDs has curtailed consumers’ ability to make legitimate, personal-‐use copies of movies they have purchased.
The DMCA Impedes Competition and Innovation.
Rather than focusing on pirates, some have wielded the DMCA to hinder legitimate competitors. For example, the DMCA has been used to block aftermarket competition in laser printer toner cartridges, garage door openers, videogame console accessories, and computer maintenance1 services. Similarly, Apple has used the DMCA to tie its iPhone devices to Apple’s own software and services.

6·27 days agoThere’s an unofficial desktop version of Newpipe now it seems:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe
I’ve not tried desktop but I do use it on Android. Taps to the left\right advance video in multiples of 10s. Dragging vertically on left/right adjusts volume and brightness. It’s a pretty decent touch interface I’d say.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Do dotfile management tools such as GNU Stow gracefully handle apps with dynamic directory names? (e.g. Firefox profile directories)English
2·28 days agoStow cannot do this as far as I know. Chezmoi can though you’ll need to fiddle with templates and ignores to achieve it:
However as others have said a dotfile manager may not be appropriate for all apps. It assumes a certain kind of behaviour of the app - known config locations, text files etc.
I think your suggestion to backup/clone/restore your ideal Firefox config onto new machines is probably most practical if you do want to use a dotfile manager with it. That way you ensure the dir name is the same across all machines. Then you can use stow to manage parts of the profile going forward.
I would consider FF’s own sync solution also though - I believe you can self-host it too.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What DDNS providers you guys recommend?English
2·2 months agoThis might be obvious but it could be caching? Use a tool like dig to check if it’s really updated. Not had a problem with duckdns, works good.

281·2 months agoHedy is an open source programming language that is broken into levels for easy learning. As you progress the language gains more capabilities, so they are never overwhelmed with too much
In contrast to block based languages like scratch its goal is to leave students ready to switch to Python by the end.
Each level has small tasks to complete so you can tackle it piece by piece and get a sense of progression.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-Host Weekly #149: A Few of My Favorite ThingsEnglish
13·2 months agoIt’s become somewhat of a trend over the last several months for new projects to describe themselves as ‘modern’. Not only is this not a helpful descriptor (What is ‘modern’? Is the design modern? The codebase?), but a good portion of the time it’s simply not true.
I keep seeing ‘blazing/blazingly fast’ everywhere too, with a rocket or such emoji

This is depressing. Profoundly depressing.
