No information on software support longevity... Very sus.

‘SNL U.K.’ Budget No Joke at Estimated $2.6 Million Per Episode in c/television@piefed.social

Let's be honest, these shows are expensive only because some people cash in a lot more money than they deserve. Period.

What always freaks me out is people considering their government worse than the likes of Meta, Palantir, Google, Microsoft... At least you can vote (hopefully) for a different government. The problem is when the companies are able to buy governments, like USA is.

Firefox & Gtk Emoji picker in c/linux@programming.dev

How could Firefox or Chrome block a system shortcut??

Not even that, because Gnome probably already has a shortcut for the emoji picker.

The thing is that I can already do Super+. (or was it ,, can't remember now) and I get shown my emoji picker (which is not the GTK one, but the KDE one) for ANY app that I am using. No need for Firefox to help me on that.

In which situation does it make sense for Firefox to call for it instead of you yourself? This seems like bloatware to me.

A truce in the Manjaro governance struggle in c/linux@programming.dev

Just drop Manjaro, people. We have CachyOS already. EndeavourOS if you please. Move on from that historical mess!

Season 1 was incredible. So good. Let's hope this one rocks.

Do you consider the free software movement to be an anarchist/communist project? in c/foss@beehaw.org
[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

But you can fork it and make your own thing. Standard hierarchy has much more power over resources. Git's hierarchy is almost simbolic.

Blaming software for COMPLIANCE with the law is STUPID, people. I expected some of you would be more intelligent.

GrapheneOS calls on privacy focused app developers to boycott European Unified Attestation in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

But attestation is already "a thing"!! These companies are just asking for a more democratic system. Might not be the best idea ever, but it's at least better than Google's monopoly.

If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Mind that I am very noob into self-hosting, reverse proxies and the like

When I saw that Caddy automatically handled the HTTPS thingies I was like "this is my moment then to go into self-hosting". Caddy seemed so simple.

Turns out... I am suddenly discovering that the connection between the caddy machine and the Home Assistant machine (both in the local network) is non-encrypted. So if another appliance in my local network went rogue... bum, all my info gets leaked... right?

This might sound weird because it might actually be super-duper complicated but... how come in 2025 we still don't auto-encrypt local comms?

Please be kind. Lot's of love. Hopefully I'll dig my way to self-hosting wisdom.

Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.

I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

Is there something like Torrentio without Stremio? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

Could someone publish a torrent under I2P to avoid being identified? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

That's basically it.

Are you excited about the new voice product? Any leaks? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

It could be the thing that makes Home Assistant suddenly interesting for many ""normies"".

If I choose "No default configuration" when resetting a MikroTik router, will I lose that default configuration "forever"? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Or can I hard-reset the device into the default configuration again?

What's the command to keep screen awake (prevent lockscreen)? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

What's up with Overture Maps? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

Any AI tool to analyse a git repo for malicious code? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.
