New video was posted today about the current state of touch on kde and gnome: https://lemmy.wtf/post/16791767
It seems like kde is in a bit better shape nowadays, but both still far from the usability of Android.
@Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe: Take look, Unfortunately touch Linux is not in a state a big manufacturer like Lenovo could put it on a mainstream device.
Afaik windows on arm is still very limited, a lot programs still only support x86.
And touch ux on linux is not very convenient, I have a touch laptop and have used it with gnome for years, and it has a lot rough edges. Can a linux enthusiast use it? Sure. Would I recommend it to non computer savvy user? No, they won’t enjoy it.
I tried xfce about a year ago on an old intel atom x86 tablet, it was not usable at all. I read Gnome is the most advanced in touch support, I don’t know how touch friendly is kde nowadays.
So on windows a user would be limited to basic apps, android has much more options.
Where is the source code? Is it closed source? As I see only releases are on github
Don’t use .local as an internal domain it can cause problems. Use .internal, it was recently reserved for this purpose
Current eink devices are much more responsive than older ones, so there were definitely some improvements over the years, we need some more decades for this technology to become a viable alternative in the devices like this.
I tried that recently. I didn’t like that it doesn’t have a widget, and the downloads and current playlist are completely separate. Also there was no option to automatically continue when connecting to a headset (this was working in Ultrasonic 4.8, but not in 4.7.1 I hope they fix that bug sometime…) So after some weeks use I switched back to Ultrasonic.
My offline android music workflow:
base64 image is just text…
How do you stop someone posting base64 encoded CSAM. And as it is “censorship resistant” you can’t even remove it… It was even a problem here in Lemmy, assholes are around the internet to destroy anything.
Also cryptobros:
The captcha service can be replaced by other “anti-spam strategies”, such proof of balance of a certain cryptocurrency. For example, a subplebbit owner might require that posts be signed by users holding at least 1 ETH, or at least 1 token of his choice.
The more I read about this it sounds more and more terrible.
From the whitepaper it seems like you cannot comment at all? Or each comment is a post also, so you need a server, you need to host it to be able to reply? I don’t see a mention how an upvote/downvote system could work.
How this is even similar to reddit? From what I could find it’s much like a topic based microblogging, and it’s a very one way communication. As it’s similar to IPFS and torrent, which are also very one way communication. Seems like an interesting idea, but I don’t see why it was compared to reddit.
Personal opinion, IPFS clones are reinvented about every year, and because they sound very good on paper, but noone could figure out a legit usecase - maybe except piracy - they fail after a while. Maybe if we would become an actual InterPlanetary species with colonies on Mars they could be useful, but until I don’t really see a point trying it again and again and again…

It’s documented in the wiki, they are called VCS packages, and it’s not the usual, they work a bit differently: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines
You can see in this instance, that it skips the sha checking for upstream source, in line 15 of the PKGBUILD it says ‘SKIP’: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=hyprspace-git#n15
sha1sums parameter is documented in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PKGBUILD#sha1sums
In the PKGBUILD file you can list sources (line 12,13) and their respective checksums (line 14,15). In this PKGBUILD there are 2 sources: the first is the systemd unit file, it’s coming from the package’s AUR repo, not from upstream, you can see its checksum. The second source is the actual source, and you can see, it’s checksum is ‘SKIP’ so it shouldn’t be checked.
With these kind of packages you can’t get notified if there is an update available, but if you install it again with your favorite AUR helper it would update itself for the latest version. It calculates version number from the latest commit hash, before building and installing, so if that is the same it won’t update again.
Nix just calls the *.nix files, it’s still go under the hood. PKGBUILD is similar to the flake.nix and package.nix files to me, but I have no experience with nix.
My general view is similar, yaml is better if it should be written by humans, json is better if it should be written and read only by a machine. but hyprspace uses json for configuration, so I don’t really understand cellardoor’s comment
what:
is:
your:
- problem
- with:
YAML
# At least you can have comments unlike in json. Who need comments in a config file anyway.
Or port forwarding. You have to open a udp port for wireguard
AUR packages ending with"-git" or “-svn” always pull the latest commit from source. The version number means that was the last time the packager had to change something on the PKGBUILD script, not the actual version which would be installed.
Where should I look? Where were these talks? I’m interested.
Edit: I found the whitepaper about hole punching: https://research.protocol.ai/publications/decentralized-hole-punching/
It says it connects to a “Hole Punch Coordination (DCUtR - Direct Connection Upgrade through Relay)”. So for NAT traversal to work, you need a third party, this relay. As I expected. I guess you can self host this, but than you could just host a wireguard server. I guess if you are on a locked down network where you cannot connect to any relay (e.g. how the Chinese Great Firewall works technically they could block it) you can’t initiate a connection behind a NAT.
Nonetheless it seems interesting, but no magic here. Maybe the big difference that the relay servers are distributed, so no central authority to block easily.
Interesting, it’s on AUR, I will try it.
So it doesn’t need any port forwarding, and works on CGNAT? How the “NAT hole punching” works? Both clients connect to something on IPFS?
Afaik, for DHT with torrent, clients need to know at least one tracker, what is the “tracker” here? Something on IPFS? Who am I sending my IP addresses?
How much overhead does this add to speed? I love with Wireguard, that it’s barely noticeable, really close to p2p speeds, OpenVPN was awful in this regard.
Yes, that’s true. Illusion of choice, anti monopoly laws are working as expected.
Afaik there are actually 4 flash memory manufacturers in the World, when you by an SSD the chips were manufactured by one of these companies:

What is PT?
