How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
  • Most of them? Ever heard of a Surface Pro? The new Minisforum V3? Lenovo makes them. Dell makes them. etc. etc.

  • Photo share by default?
  • Proton Photos is extremely basic at this point. Don't expect anything beyond a segregated folder in your cloud and automatic backup.

  • How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
  • A table is typically an ARM based platform

    No, it is absolutely not...

  • How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
  • A tablet is nothing more than a computer with a detachable keyboard... What does it not cover?

  • Encrypted P2P Chat
  • What makes this app unique is that it doesn't rely on messaging servers to function.

    Okay, well, that sounds like a drawback to me?

  • Is there a way to follow user-accounts like Mastodon has?
  • Could easily be either one or both

  • Telegram says it has 'about 30 engineers'; security experts say that's a red flag
  • Add it to the pile of reasons not to use Telegram.

  • ChatGPT and the movie ‘Her’ are just the latest example of the ‘sci-fi feedback loop’
  • It's not a "feedback loop". "Her" was not pulled out of thin air, it was based on AI models that already existed and extrapolated into a future. A future we're still a long way from.

  • Linux market share passes 4% for first time; macOS dominance declines
  • I did try. It was awful LOL. Also I couldn't use my second monitor. This was with a distro that was supposed to support Nvidia. But if you know of one that specifically supports the 780M, I'm all ears.

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • some says something factually wrong

    Never Happened

    gets corrected

    Also never happenened

    then the argument of "you just try to dunk on my for fake internet points" come up... sigh

    People will stop saying it when it stops being true.

    You didn't list a single reason why you CAN'T hook up any PC with Linux and create a "console".

    Once again with the strawman. Scroll up and read again. I know this is the conversation you may have been having in your head that you were "winning", but it's not the one that is taking place here. I'll go ahead and ignore the rest of your comment since it's predicated on a statement no one made.

    The point is you can't just slap any old Linux distro on any old laptop and Bob's Your Uncle, it's a Steam Deck, as was casually stated in the comment I initially replied to. There's a lot more work involved, and even then you lack much of the hardware that makes the SD special.

  • Threads hits 175 million users after a year
  • Not really a lie but pretty close. Especially considering how easy they made it for IG users to "sign up".

  • Introducing Docs in Proton Drive: end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editing, that puts your privacy first
  • Cryptpad is honestly a pain in the butt with the decrypting. That's why I use Cryptee. It installs a local cache so you don't have to decrypt all your documents when you open them.

  • How Would You Spec a Framework 13 for an Educational Use Case?
  • I don't understand why you're telling me this. Are you under the impression that a tablet is not a computer?

  • Nexus mods want feedback from Linux / Steam Deck users on their new cross-platform app
  • But in all seriousness, you're completly wrong here....But everything that makes out the steamdeck is definetely not exclusive to its hardware.

    Yes, I would be wrong, had that been what I said, but it isn't. In fact I very clearly listed several software requirements that you're just intentionally ignoring in a poor attempt to "dunk" on me and score fake internet points.

    You 100% can just hook up any PC, be it some minisforum mini pc, a laptop or a off the shelf gaming PC, install literally any linux on it and within a few hours of installing and configuring stuff - you can make your own "steamdeck".

    No you cant. I just listed a dozen reasons why that isn't true, you argued with one and declared that I was wrong while completely ignoring the rest.

    I assume you just don't have any real-world experience with setting something like this up.

    Well you know what happens when you assume. You make an ass of yourself. I have a Steam Deck, and a desktop PC running Bazzite. The sleep function does not work.

  • Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw
  • The guy who owns the company leading the charge on AI is telling you not to worry about the power that AI uses.

    I mean it should go without saying that you should completely ignore this.

  • Exclusive: This is Google AI, and it's coming to the Pixel 9
  • MS recalled Recall but Google thinks they can get away with it?

  • Here's an alleged Pixel 9 in a surprisingly vibrant pink
  • I honestly couldn't care less about the camera bump or any other aesthetics. I have a list of criteria a mile long and camera bumps ain't even on it.

  • GPU "processing" with Kdenlive on Bazzite with 4700u GPU?

    Trying to cover all my bases on the headline LOL.

    I confirmed LACT was installed, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.

    Installed movit via RPM-OStree.

    GPU processing is still grayed out. Currently waiting for a 20 minute video to process on CPU only and says it will take 3 hours :(

    Immich x FUTO Q&A

    Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God".

    Project will remain AGPL and thus can be forked at any time. FUTO maintains the trademark of Immich name and logos.

    Sony is gaslighting you. This is why they want you to connect PSN:

    > we collect the information that you provide by entering it into certain Service features. For example, when you want to post in a forum, you provide us the content for the post (which could contain PI which we collect and then display for you on the forum). Likewise, when you use other features such as voice or text messaging, blogs, surveys, user-generated content, activity streams, or social media, we may first collect the information you enter into the feature.

    > We may also automatically or passively collect information about your use of our Services, see the sub-sections below for a list of categories by sources of such information.

    > Each time you use a PlayStation console or a PlayStation app on a PlayStation console or other devices (such as a mobile phone or PC), we may automatically collect information about your use of that device and app. If you sign into an Account, we may combine it with other information we have for that Account.

    > The information that we collect from devices may include: Device identifiers such as your PlayStation console ID, mobile device IDs, cookie IDs, or serial numbers, Network identifiers such as your IP address and MAC address

    > We may receive information, including the following, from third party sources and combine it with information we already directly collect from you. We will handle the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

    > Game, social media, or other information, from those third parties or services you link your Account with

    >Marketing and Advertising: We may target and personalize our marketing communications, purchase recommendations and advertisements that we display on our and third-party websites and services based on the information we have collected about you.

    The list just goes on here, but to boil it down: Sony wants dat sweet sweet data.

    What VPN are you using?

    I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up.

    I use Proton because it has a "suite" of products under a single subscription, but that benefit is losing it's allure as some of their products are pretty shitty from a user experience perspective, their customer support is atrocious, and they don't seem to pay any attention to what their users actually want.

    Does anyone track known VPN servers? Is there a specific provider that causes less problems? Does anyone test different VPNs for detection?

    Thinking about cancelling my subscription and moving to Mullvad.

    Pixel 9/9 Pro/XL leaked

    > Pixel 9: with a 6.03-inch screen and a double rear camera. This is the heir to Pixel 8.

    > Pixel 9 Pro: with a 6.1-inch screen and a triple rear camera. This is a new model.

    > Pixel 9 Pro XL: with a 6.7-inch screen and a triple rear camera. This is the heir to the Pixel 8 Pro.

    If we get Pixel desktop I will def have to be upgrading to 9 Pro come Black Friday...

    Thoughts on these SATA/M.2-->SATA/2.5" adapters?

    Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).

    1. If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?

    2. If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?

    3. Can I use these as "individual" or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?

    Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.

    Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.

    N100 Mini PC w/ 3xNVMe?

    Not sure why this doesn't exist. I don't need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could potentially just have 2xNVMe and have the boot partition in RAID also? Bonus points if I can use it as a wireless router also.

    Is it possible to create an OS that simply automatically runs .exe files through WINE/Proton/Bottles?

    I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.

    Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it "just works" quite well most of the time.

    Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).

    Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.

    Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?

    Adding instances to your services?

    Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I'm just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?

    I'm going to be the only one using these services so I don't care about moderation or defederation. Is there no "subscribe all" button?

    And if not, are there comprehensive lists somewhere I can download and import?

    Thanks in advance.

    Help with NGINX? so close...

    Hi friends. I'm new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I've been hung up on this for a couple of days now.

    I have Jellyfin set up and working properly, locally. I configured Namecheap to forward requests from [subdomain] to [WAN]. I have my router set up to port forward requests from [WAN] 80 and 443 to NGINX on [LAN] port 81. I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).

    Problem is when I type in [subdomain] into the browser, it takes me to the NGINX login page instead of the Jellyfin server...like it's not forwarding the request? Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated.

    Potential issue I see is that Jellyfin by default fires up on port 8097 but in the settings defaults HTTP to 8096 and...I'm not really sure why. Going to 8096 returns a "site can't be reached" error.

    How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?

    Lately I've noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.

    When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.

    Then I can't even get the original link without having my activity tracked.

    How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?

    anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

    I've tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don't know what I'm doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don't understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff.

    So far I've got an old gaming PC with a R7 2700x + 2060 Super and I think maybe it's overkill. I've got TrueNAS running on it but that's about as far as I got...

    Thinking maybe we can have an open Jitsi meeting and just anyone who needs help can get it (myself included 🙂)?

    Would anyone be interested in something like that?

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    E: some people have imagined up some things that I said so let me be clear about what I did not say:

    At no time did I insist, beg, or demand that anyone help me.

    I did NOT ask anyone to help with a specific issue, nor should I be required to.

    I asked if anyone would be willing to help myself and possibly others to get some services running, and I asked to do it in a videoconference setting where we can have a discussion and where you can see what I'm doing as I'm doing it, out of respect for both of our time.

    If you are not interested, you do not need to come in here and announce it, and you sure as shit do not need to speak for anyone else on whether they will want to. Just keep scrolling.

    E2: special thanks to those who actually reached out and offered to help!

    why cant Steam Deck detect display resolution?

    Every PC I've ever used automatically detects and adjusts resolution to the display you connect to it. Even Nintendo Switch will detect when it's docked and automatically adjust the display resolution. But on Steam Deck you literally have to adjust the display resolution for every game, every time you switch displays.

    Since getting the SD I have shoved my PC into another room to displace the heat (until I get a mini-split) and I just stream from it to the Deck, whether docked at my desk or on the couch or on the big screen. But this really complicates that process unnecessarily.

    This has also not been fixed in Nobara or Chimera.

    What's the limitation there?
