Never... Pine kinda throws you the thing completely half assed for the people to build the whole stack. It's a really slow process.

I mean, Graphene does that too, by default. It just has the app store available to be installed in their apps updater. If you don't go there to install it by yourself, it's a Google-less device by default.

While it's so convenient, anyone gaining access to your browser while your laptop is open can gain access to everything. Bitwarden usually add an extra step to unlock it (which you could disable if you want) when you want to use the extension. By the way, it has an extension for Firefox, so just hitting Ctrl + Shift + L it auto-fills the login/password fields of your login page just like firefox would. But with the extra step that gaining access to the browser doesn't straight away unlock all your passwords for anyone to see.

TrackerControl on android, pihole at home.

Would be nice if Graphene managed to implement some of those AI features locally. Without the AI use, i think this thing could fly. Seems the foldable might have really slow wireless charge though :(

Not at the same level. Ublock can remove way more granular spam and ads than pihole, which is limited at DNS requests. I use both... Running Firefox of course.

I actually got lots of pain to get linphone to connect to voip.ms. is there any up to date guide on how to set it up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I agree with that. I was giving it a spin. They produced a release with open source attached on github, but not sure how much of the source is in there, and that release seems to be a bit outdated compared to the release I got running on my nanoKVM right now.

Sometimes...and sometimes they have rather good UI. But usually it gets pretty messed up when translated. I've found the network speed to be pretty decent for image transfer, even at the inefficient MJPEG format they're currently using right now. They said they're working on better encoding. Today I found that the remote keyboard/mouse work on certain desktops, but sometimes stops on text mode or when on BIOS. And then you continue booting, and it works again. Not sure what's going on with the hardware identifier they're using...

So...yeah, once they fix the keyboard/mouse issue, and add the function to remotely load ISOs (not only the ones on its own storage), it's going to be golden. Since it has SSH, I think in theory you should be able to upload the ISOs remotely using SFTP or similar, but I haven´t tested just yet.

Posted on their github. All they have is a Chinese forum. And the wiki is...rough at the moment. Chinese only (not a problem with a translation extension) and a lot of "Todo" sections there. Basically the UI right now has no configuration options, besides "checking for updates" which didn't tell you which version you're in anyway. While I was testing I saw the check for updates had a blue dot, so I guess it did manage to reach their servers, and after checking and installing an update...seems that menu had a slight improvement, and now it does say current running version. But that's it.

But there's no denying the huge potential for this tiny device. It's way cheaper and smaller, and consumes way less power. The physical limitations I can see is the NIC is only 10/100 (no gigabit connection), and no wifi. Everything else is software, which I reckon they'll be working on.

You have no idea how much fun its being.

Didn't the Aurora store get their anonymous profiles killed? You still need to login right?

 

So, yeah...trying to get a multi-language rip of these series. Ideally with English and Latin Spanish, maybe additionally Spain-Spanish, French and Italian...But not sure how could I go about this. How could I get a multi-dub version?

Thanks!

 

So...trying to accommodate to gf's demands, here's a curve ball...which audio headset/earphones would you recommend that, while keeping good audio, sells also in PINK COLOR? Your average Sony XM, Sennheiser Momentum, Airpods etc...they all lack pink. Suggestions?

 

Hi guys! I'm trying to see if there's alternatives in TTS for the (admittedly) great one Google provides. I'm using Graphene, and so that's not an option I'd like to go around.

Alternatively on the FOSS field, I believe have RHVoice, which I have installed, and eSpeak, which was last updated in 2022 and is not compatible with my Pixel 7 64bit-only phone. So...RHVoice has the problem of having their voices a bit robotic, but more probrematic is that they're VERY muted. On max volume, they're not all that loud, and I ride a motorbike. They're pretty useless, most of the times I can't hear the directions on my headset. Do you guys know any alternative TTS engine I could be using? I've heard the demo sample from the aiyu-ayaan tts-engine and it sounded great, but no idea how can I compile/install it as an Android TTS engine available for other apps to use, just like RHVoice.

Alternatively, are there any other apps/engines you'd recommend?

Thank you!

 

So...yeah. Just this issue. My ancient trusty S8, which has been with me for quite a few years, is my BYOD work phone. It has been for a while, too. But seems now it's not compliant with the company policies. After some checking, it seems the Play Store is reporting (settings - about) not to be Play Protect certified. But the normal profile is certified! WTF happened, and how can I fix this?

 

Hi guys! Trying to get Office running on a Mac...How does one get it activated on Mac? On windows it has become so effortless, but I wonder if there's a similar KMS method on Mac?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys!

Just that...is there any FOSS app I could use to get the air pollution (AQI level) or similar for my area?

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! Just...that. My parents live in Europe, while my servers are at my home in Asia. Europe home has fiber at about 200Mbps symmetric, and Asia home has 1Gbps symmetric. But due to distance, it's hard to get them to reach very fast speeds at all, being capped at about 1MB/s when transferring files or watching Jellyfin. Is there any way to do some sort of static faster routing for the specific home IPs?

 

Ok this one might be silly but...where can I buy a real raised relief map these days? It's for a gift...Is there a trustworthy seller making them? I mean, with real physical elevations of mountains etc, not just shading to give it a "look-like". I'm interested maybe in European regions or the whole world, not US-centric.

Thanks!

 

Hi guys! Just that...not sure there's news about this anywhere, but seems duckdns has been out...maybe for 3-4h already?

 

Hi guys! So, Sonarr seems to completely miss my Frontline episodes. I manually downloaded the whole 2023 season. It still fails to find it on its "Season 2023" folder. What should I be doing? Thanks!

Hi guys! Back in the day I bought a DJI Mavic (1st gen) for my travels, when they were not so absolutely obnoxious about sending ALL your flight logs back to the motherland. As the obnoxiousness increased, I ended up installing a CFW (Merlin, I think) on the drone, so I could fly unrestricted and with no logged-in account on the phone (custom modded app), with the app requiring no callback to any server. But seems these days the drone is increasingly misbehaving. Might be due to old age, but it tends to not detect obstacles at all, and also doesn't detect the floor, so landing is...hairy.

So I'd like to have some sort of replacement, hopefully with similar flying aids (GPS positioning and obstacle detection at least, more are welcome), and hopefully smaller & foldable... but without the need to call home at every damn time. Is this possible? What are the recommendations these days? Can newer DJI drones be modded in the same manner? Are the alternatives?

Thanks!

 

The European Union has recently reached an agreement on a significant competition reform known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which will impose strict rules on large tech companies that will have to offer users the ability to communicate with each other using different apps. WhatsApp is one of the companies that will be required to comply with the new regulations outlined in the European Union’s Digital Markets Act. This is because WhatsApp is considered a gatekeeper service since it’s a large tech platform with a substantial user base and falls within the criteria set by the DMA. With the latest WhatsApp beta for Android 2.23.19.8 update, which is available on the Google Play Store, we discovered that WhatsApp is working on complying with the new regulations:

As you can see in this screenshot, WhatsApp is working on a new section dedicated to the new regulations. Since it is still in development, this section is still not ready, it appears empty and it’s not accessible to users, but its title confirms to us that they are now working on it. WhatsApp has a 6-month period to align the app with the new European regulations to provide its interoperability service in the European Union. At the moment, it remains unclear whether this feature will also eventually extend to countries beyond the European Union.

Interoperability will allow other people to contact users on WhatsApp even if they don’t have a WhatsApp account. For example, someone from the Signal app could send a message to a WhatsApp user, even without a WhatsApp account. While this broader network can definitely enhance communication with those people who use different messaging apps and assist those small apps in competing within the messaging app industry, we acknowledge that this approach may also raise important considerations about end-to-end encryption when receiving a message from users who don’t use WhatsApp. In this context, as this feature is still in its early stages of development, detailed technical information about this process on WhatsApp as a gatekeeper is currently very limited, but we can confirm that end-to-end encryption will have to be preserved in interoperable messaging systems. In addition, as mentioned in Article 7 of the regulations, it appears that users may have the option to opt out when it will be available in the future.

Third-party chat support is under development and it will be available in a future update of the app. As always, we will share a new article when we have further information regarding this feature.
