• MinIO: People are migrating from minio to Garage. I haven’t tried it, but people seem to like it.

Self-Hosted Apps

• Moonlight: check out games on whales

• Try Home Assistant, it’s really fun.

Wait, what?

How can he be such a dick? I’ll take the link down.

Codeberg for hosted, Forgejo for selfhosted.

They are great.

no paywall here:

Edit: looking for a mirror.

I thought it already had one… what did I use before? Was there a separate package?

Full installation. For the OS it’s just a drive.

This will flop so bad it isn’t even funny.

I wouldn’t say old, but it’s a Thinkpad. I’m using Aurora Linux on a work laptop. In order to not void the warranty, I’m using an M2 NVME drive via a USBC caddy. It’s been rock solid for more than a year and I get to plug it to my desktop PC and use it as a thumb drive to access all my laptop files.

Great experience.

It’s the new slop-ring, you can get it at your nearest ChatGPT jewelry. It’s the latest in bot fashion!

Sloppening

Yes. Officially announced. Multiple times. IIRC the last time was at GDC, in their presentation deck.

Does this affect immutable distros like Bazzite?

About two years now, fully Linux based home.

• 2 android phones
• 2 android tablets
• Homelab running Proxmox VE
• 2 desktop PCs running bazzite
• 1 HTPC running bazzite connected to our living room TV
• 2 Laptops running Aurora

Rock solid, no problems, no maintenance whatsoever. My family doesn’t need me to use any device.

What about streaming apps: Netflix, Disney Plus, etc. would that be a way to stream 4k video on Linux? IIRC, Firefox or Chromium based browsers on Linux don’t allow that.

If so, that would be a great way for those wanting to stream using their Steam Machine, Frame and custom Linux based HTPCs.

Is there a law that establishes the definition of likeness and is it entitled to any rights?

Where is the limit that separates something similar to something else entitled to anything protected by the law?

Where is the line drawn ?

I’m sure there’s something, but personally I can’t imagine a law specifying geometry & texture similarity percentiles and a reproducible analysis procedure.

Holy moly, $100k a year each. I hope this more than covers LVFS’ costs and give them enough headroom to keep improving it.

For these companies it must be pocket change, but that can be a lot of money if the LVFS is efficient enough.

Just go with OpenSense. Fully FOSS and comparable with corporate software feature-wise.

I freaking love Inkscape. I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator since the 90s, when the TPM requirement for Windows 11 was announced I immediately started distrohopping. I had to switch to Inkscape to keep doing my job and still be able to switch to Linux. In about a week I was as fast and good as on illustrator.

Truly amazing piece of software.

There was a leak like a year ago, it was a figma file done by a single KDE community designer and not an officially sanctioned design. But it was gorgeous. I can’t find any screenshots and it seems nobody was able to duplicate the figma file in time before it went private.

But I saw it with my own eyes, it was amazing. Like breeze but for normies: more padding, clearer UI overall, nested content to avoid info overload. I loved it. But anyone who likes dense UIs would have disliked it.
