I hope it will make the people who want to use a GNU/Linux OS daily, do not think of the codecs as reason to not switch.

I see your perspective, but not the usefulness of your approach.

I prefer telling them how it works and that is a way to make actual documentation accessible. I also adapt my explanations to each person and situation.

It is preferable to have people who know how to use an OS and not being hanging around without knowing what to do because they expect even the most simple things done.

That said, codecs work great with Debian stock, so I am unsure about the issues you mention.


I agree with Salamander.

I would care about PostgreSQL and suggest tuning it. As minimum, increasing shared memory to 512 MB.


I use stock Debian.

No problems here.

In the case you use GNOME desktop and has issues with the deprecated AVI format still used in some playes and with GNOME Video app, just install libavcodec-extra or use GNOME-MPV (now named in another name I always forget).

The case for OpenSuse. In reality, they do the right thing given that is an European OS. It is illegal in some European countries to distribute several codecs by default given the copyright holders.

Instead of calling for a negation for their package management you should call for content distributors not using well-deployed and available open formats / codecs as well as the copyright holders of the propietary ones for putting these nonsense as rules.

Bitwarden uses MicroSoft SQL Server as the only DB server option.

It is also the one they run on their main service, so it is not fully FLOSS and I would not consider that DB server reliable at all given its nature.

As Helix pointed before, there is a fully FLOSS replacement compatible with API and clients called Vaultwarden, which is also written in Rust and allow MySQL/MariaDB and PostgreSQL DB servers AFAIR.


I encourage you to use https://teddit.net or any other Teddit instance instead of Reddit links which, even with the old front-end, track users, run unknown code in users’ web browsers and is still a resources black hole for modest computers.


No estoy seguro de si entiendes español, pero de ser así te comento: Creo que esta comunidad no es la más adecuada para hablar de crear lenguas artificiales a menos que siga la filosofía del Código Abierto.


So is just MTP for transferring files too.

That means that GNOME use FUSE or similar to support it at user level.


I am on LineageOS too.

Using TDE I cannot mount the phone directly. Won’t be detected but I didn’t investigate what I need to mount it.

I know that GNOME use these dependencies and integrates them very well.

I can mount it perfectly with GNOME.


You still can do that, at least with AOSP based OSes.

The only thing is that the destination OS must support the protocol (Debian in raw no, Debian with GNOME yes given some faulty dependencies) and choose in the notifications menu to act as USB drive instead of just charging.


First, as pacifist I don’t tolerate violence.

In addition, that already means that the group has nothing related to veganism, which is an ethical principle based on the respect inalienable interests of individuals which, even with a focus on non-humans species, also would cover that.

Second, there is no such thing as personal choice when what you do affect other individuals rights, including non-humans with consciousness.

The first part and this already set that veganism is not a “food choice”, with a main reason explained in the paragraphs before and other because it drives the individual moral under it.

Based on that, what this people try to do there, opposing to that, and what the reactionists do, has no sense.


One time or recurrent?

For the first case, Trebleshot is your best option.

And for the second, Syncthing as suggested by Dessalines.




As @poVoq@lemmy.ml did, I recommend it too.

My parents currently run reconditioned Samsung Galaxy S4 phones with LineageOS.


If you consider that the phone is not reilable as a replacement in case of emergency, I can propose you two things:

  • Use it to learn about Android, Operating System changes and to prepare it cleanly with Free (as in freedom) tools.
  • Additional to that, prepare it and give it to a person in need that you know.

I have it like that but notifications doesn’t seem to be supported or, at least, with the application closed.

Also the sound and light seem to be specific of the whole browser applications as far as I could test right know.


You can reply through email to an existent issue, but AFAIK you need an account both to create and to reply.


Could be if you don’t agree in using GitHub :^)


Two examples:

  • Notifications in real time: not just by email or having to maintain the browser open and without sound.
  • Sharing using the own sharing dialogs.

However, I personally use the website by now and rely on email notifications.


I have not seen too much activity from your here since the last months.


Which instances did you use?

There are several which were pretty stable and are still ongoing.

These were even small instances and not main ones.


I crosscomment here:

It could be weird but here[1] it seems that people who doesn’t understand federation at first use to associate the software name with the instance name.

You speak about “moving to Pixelfed” and they look and use Pixelfed.social at first.

I think that could also have happenned with Lemmy.

1- my environment


Same, I would be interested in knowing.

I will check there if I can through Teddit.


Gemini community looking for a new mod
I realized that there was no current mod for the [Gemini community](https://lemmy.ml/c/gemini) yesterday. If I remember correctly, the old mod left this instance time ago. Since the community is still active, I am looking for a person or people who are interested in taking moderation there. The focus is based towards people who are already set in the community or in this instance itself.

Maybe because the liberals are still people who deserve some rights as the promoted ones by Free Software?

Some other people could also have fell in an ending loop towards Reddit interaction and common nonFLOSS media because of some people they follow.

Edit:

Clarifying to avoid any misunderstanding with the first parragraph: I disagree with them and I don’t tolerate what they do and what they promote but that doesn’t mean that I am going to remove their rights as individuals.


Do you think you can contact with them?

However, I am mostly interested in teaching and educational activism.


Just giving my opinion for the other offering.

It would be great to see a Furry instance. :3c

Updated: a vegan one for organization, teaching and learning would be great too.


Electron is a framework for desktop development based on Chromium.

It has a big part of Chromium as part of its code but with a wrapper layer to act as a framework.

With it, you can make desktop apps with PWA (Progressive Web Apps).

They like some of it because you can get the beauty of CSS and JS effects in a desktop app, but for every of these apps you end running an independent instance of Chromium.

It doesn’t use system browser engine or one from the installed browsers. Every app you install using it is exactly the same as installing Chrome or Chromium in different folders at your PC and running them at the same time.

This is why they blame it too.


What should I know about North Macedonia?
I have been studying Web Development since 2019 and, if everything goes as expected, I would be doing my practical part in North Macedonia through Erasmus+ program. Given that, what should I take into account? PD: I never travelled before.

I just install “tor” package in Debian-based OSes and, ensure that the “tor” service is started and configure the applications I want to use “tor” by setting their proxy configuration to Socks 5 in 127.0.0.1 IP with 9050 port if they allow it.


Thank you for the explanation.

I am not familiar with that kind of expression.


What do you mean by “not positive” and what is the relation with that you support it or not?

You mean that is not your kind of software since you didn’t have a positive experience with it and because of that you don’t support it?


Is not OBS working on Wayland yet?

It works AFAIK.






Disroot.

You should be able to use any email client.


Yeah. I want to install it to some people who can feel comfortable on it and help them to understand the installation but, being in an external repository is a no-go for them being beginners.

Debian support in the community
Can this community be used by users to ask support about Debian like some Debian forums around the internet?
