Maybe take a look at PhotoSync as well, it’s not foss but it’s a really well-done app and seems to be what you are looking for

Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they’ve done a really good job

Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can’t watch the video rn?

Agree, it doesn’t mean the project it bad but it still seems a bit weird. I’ve texted one of the Dev on Reddit to ask for some clarification about the whole thing, and maybe understand the reasons behind this choices.

Will update you here if they reply

As I replied to the other comment, I wasn’t aware of the recent happenings. I’ve been using Floorp for a while now and when I installed it it was fully opensource.

However, it seems like it’s fully opensource again now (sources in the other reply)

Huh! I didn’t know about all these happenings around floorp’s source code availability, but from what I can see now it should be back as fully open source under the MPL 2.0… am I wrong?

License on official GitHub

Reddit post about coming back fully open source

From the Floorp official website:

Floorp’s source code is entirely open, allowing anyone to view it and contribute to the project. Not only is the browser itself open source, but the build environment is as well.

Agree. Not at all a security expert here, but maybe doing it inside a distrobox could be a temporary fix?

Forget it, I just tried and it seems it gets installed in your home directory so using distrobox doesn’t change anything (apparently, but as I said I’m not an expert so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong).

However, I’ve seen they also have it available through a bunch of package managers like nix, arch and Fedora

Thank you, but the problem is that is howdy installation (that gets automatically executed after I run sudo apt install howdy that tries to run “old fashioned” pip commands. So I should either find a way to tweak Howdy install (like building it from source after changing something maybe?) or disable this system security feature temporarily, install howdy and re-enable it immediately after

Nope I didn’t, but the problem doesn’t seem to be the Python version, but instead the fact that now Python is “externally managed” and therefore I cannot install packages using pip install packagename as it used to be.

I know that this is done for security reasons and that the good practice would be using pipx or conda, but the problem is that howdy istallation still tries to use the “old approach”

If you are looking for something light and low maintenance, maybe Mint could be a good fit?

I’ve never daily driven it because I’m not a fan of Cinnamon, but everyone says its light and stable so seems like what you are looking for

When it reboots the fans are kinda loud until I enter the password for disk encryption, then everything is as expected. Temperatures are more than ok both before and after the random reboots.

Sorry for the noob question but, how can I run a memtest on it?

She was saying that on Mastodon (that was the main activitypub platform she was comparing to) the choice of the instance can heavily influence your experience. If I don’t remember wrong her main points were:

• There’s a local timeline and a federated timeline, and even in the federated timeline you see your instance posts and the posts of the instances yours have federated with, not all posts
• A global search is not always the easiest thing to do, and previous attempts of project that would have facilitated it didn’t received much appreciation from the community
• If your instance admin do choices you don’t agree with (for example blocking another instance) the only way to interact with that other instance is to move yourself
• Moving from an instance to another means loosing your posts and replies, that would stay on the original instance

She was not saying that this approach is wrong, in fact many people on Mastodon like this more community-focused and less-global approach, just that it isn’t what they wanted for Bluesky

That’s almost exactly what I was thinking before listening to the podcast.

But there she explained how ActivityPub was missing some of the feature they wanted because of its instance-centric approach and how trying to change that would have been hard (given how sceptical towards changes and everything corporate-related the fediverse community can be), and so they opted for a new protocol since the goals of the two project were with different aims.

Still not 100% convinced tbh, but I can’t deny she has a point…

Even if the corporate is a public benefit corporation with open source foss code both for server and client?

It can be a bit overkill for your use case if you only need to stream the USB media on your tv, but take a look at Jellyfin, it’s a program you can install on any PC and as long as this is up and running on the same network you can access your media on that PC (in your case with the USB plugged in) from any other device (TV, other PCs, Tablets, smartphones)

Ahah dw, it happened to me as well and to be fair the OCI UI for opening ports is not the most intuitive piece of software I’ve seen…

Currently using Infomaniak.com and I’m really liking it. They are a bit pricy compared to other registrars but

• they have solid privacy policy
• their servers use renewable energy
• they let you set up DDNS with a simple bash script
• they offer some cool email and kSuite benefits with the purchase of a domain

Not an exper either, but I’ve used OCI Free Tier for a while and most of the times I was encountering issues they were related either to the fact it was ARM and not x86_64 (most tutorials and guides are not written with ARM CPUs in mind) or to the sort of Firewall built in the Oracle Cloud Platform. Have you already checked if the ports required for the services not working are opened correctly?

Public money, public code! 🎉
