Yeah, this feels like just another of those artists who want to sow discord for fame, without actually caring about the real topic they throw under the bus in doing so.

I tried installing Matrix with the Element web interface a few days past, and was positively surprised by the VoIP and screenshare.

I always thought that Matrix was this dusty old legacy from times long forgotten, but once the images were spun up and the reverse proxy configured, it didn't take long to setup a small test community and invite a friend.

There's a beta option to enable screenshare in a room, but we found that you can screenshare in any voice room despite the setting. We only tested with simple visuals like videos and text documents, where we got small amounts of artifacting, so I'm not sure about the compression and throughput, but I hope it'll be enough for gaming.

Right, please excuse us.

I've already read and voted on that post. It did give me a rather negative view of the buyeuropean mods, but i still think their work is commendable. If nothing else, then at least for running the community.

Im not very appreciative of your attempts to trap me using loaded questions. When have I ever mentioned America? I'm pretty sure that I have only ever argued for a EU-only community, and not a "EU+everyone except other non-EU european countries" community. Are european countries favorable compared to the USA? Of course they are! But that's not what I'm arguing in the first place, so please let's keep on topic.

Looking at this comms name, I'm rather sure that the rules are meant to be european (union), which, sadly, might be an error similar to those from the USA wrongfully calling their country "America".

Regarding CM's online status, I checked that they: made the account, made a few posts, made the comm, and the went offline. Likely someone testing out the waters and unlikely to return. In other words: This community does indeed have a dark future and should be evacuated.

Now, regarding why I'd want a EU-only community which does not encompass the UK, Norway, Switzerland, etc.: I want goods that I know adhere to EU standards (not russian, not Norwegian, not UK), and/or which are shipped from inside the EU (eg. not russian, not Norwegian, not UK, not even the USA (???)) so I don't have to pay that stupid import handling fee of 25€ for my 2€ pack of chinese assorted transistors shipped from the UK.

In other words: I'm not attacking the existential rights of the 'buyeuropean' community - I think that community is great when looking for european goods - but I'm instead looking for a community specific to the EU. Again, not a community for EU+USA, not a "russia and friends", not a "buyworldwide", but a "buyfromEU".

At last I'd like to apologize, for if this didn't make my stance clear, then I'm unsure how to convey it to you.

Fine, in that case i propose we make another community for those of us who want EU goods, so we don't confuse them with european goods. Happy?

That might be, but it is not specific to the EU, and therefore not relevant to those of us looking for EU goods.

~~Or !buyfromeu@feddit.org if you want to make sure they adhere to EU laws.~~

Lol, never mind, that's where you posted it in the first place. Nice to see that the community is already gaining traction. :P

The Deck is a pretty nefty device. I used it for half a year as a daily driver, which included everything from gaming to light embedded development. I've also used it as a ground control station when flying my legacy drones, or as a relay for my main rig when tinkering on unhandy equipment (such as accessing my cars OBDII from the warm living room).

I've also tinkered with secured storage on the Deck, but found that LUKS needs the Deck to be unlocked (note: All of the above can be done without disabling the read-only system). I found a somewhat functional workaround using rwfus, which makes an overlay on top of the read-only system, on which I then can install packages such as veracrypt. I also tried NIX to this end, but found it to be way too much work to learn to use proper for my usecase.

And while not really anything mind-bending: I'll be spending the next few days in our summerhouse with my sister to celebrate 'Fastelavn', where I expect to bring my Deck and a Steam Controller for some evening Kingdom 80's co-op.

"Is this 'Critical Error' the reason for the crash, or just another ill-labeled exception?"

I love WINE and it's forks, but man, how can any program produce so many errors during optimal operation? (A rhetorical question, as I believe we all know the tragicomedic reason being Microsoft)

As a scandi Iv'e been leaning more into 'enginks' - close to 'engangs' and french kinks.
