I love niri, last time I looked it was not yet on par with paperwm which is why I'm still on it.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Yes. Calendar is even worse. There's no bridge at all. Proton should've used a standard protocol and put their encryption on top of it in a separate layer to make it comlatible with other software

That's very good to know, thx! But that means I have to run the bridge on my server, open the ports there etc. , right?

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Thx! That's for desktop. The bridge is alright. There's no major drawback to it afaik. But this is news about android. Thunderbird bought k9mail

Unfortubately I am locked in to protonmail :/ otherwise I'd love to use it, looks great

With an atomic system it's less likely to brick your system. You can stay in the debian world with vanillaos (I've never used it) but fedora atomic is very good. On a day to day basis you shouldn't have/use admin rights to break your system

Those things happen on windows as well

On linux you just put the ovpn into the settings. VPN connections are built into the system

Yes, I have used systems that broke. Yes I followed bad advice and broke my system. Ever since not touching my system, that didn't happen again. If I would touch windows, I would brik windows as well.

I know people who didn't update their browser for ages and use outdated android versions and nothing happened to them.

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 14 points 3 days ago

Wdym with linux can be broken?

Don't mess woth the system and go atomic. Fedora atomic kde or gnome or wm

There was a lot of engagement in the communities I participate up until a couple of years ago. People were interested and actively discussing a lot of topics. There were a lot of newbies asking questions and people proposing different ways for tasks.

Is it just me or did it reduce a lot? LLMs? Company forums? Other forums I did not move to (e.g. discord)? Reduced interest? Or is it just subjective?

You want beets to organize your music https://beets.io/

You want to use the musicbrainz database

And you want to scrobble your plays to listenbrainz.

You will serve your music however you want. Navidrome is one of the best, you can't go wrong.

Navidrome does not take car eof tagging. You have to make sure your music is tagged properly. You can also use other software for it that uses beets under the hood. Someone shall chime in and suggest the best app for that as beets isn't end user friendly.

What do you think of wakib? https://github.com/darkstego/wakib-keys

It's like emacs keybindings but keep today's default/ standard keybindings and adds other layers to it.

In the past months, I tried over and over to use emacs or vim. I dislike having to switch between the "modern" way and vim or emacs inside the editor. With wakib all common shortcut are the same and it adds shortcuts for movements.

I did not yet spend too much time with it but I really like that it simply extends on what I use anyway.

I want to selfhost my own personal website. This is just for fun, as a hobby and to show off my skills to others. nothing big.

I have my own server home but I want to have something that's separate from my personal stuff.

I do not need any support, meaning it can be as cheap as possible. I do not yet know how much RAM or CPU or storage I need. I guess CPU > 2GHz and 2GB RAM should be enough to start.

daily/weekly backup with rsync in case the hoster goes out of business.

I do not need a domain, I will use a dynamic dns hoster.

parquet vs csv (lemmy.ml)

What's your take on parquet?

I'm still reading into it. Why is it closely related to apache? Does inly apache push it? Meaning, if apache drops it, there'd be no interest from others to push it further?

It's published under apache hadoop license. It is a permissive license. Is there a drawback to the license?

Do you use it? When?

I assume for sharing small data, csv is sufficient. Also, I assume csv is more accessible than parquet.

Just want to share it. Found it on fdroid.

I understand that it may be problematic sometimes but this was very smooth. I didn't even say anything.

A: what's your number for the whatsapp group Me: I don't have whatsapp because of facebook. B: ok, we have to use signal then A: ok

And that was it. Life can be very easy sometimes

Neither newpipe nor libretube work for me anymore for a while now. Is there an alternative?

Edit: when using my vpn it is blocked. Without von it works fine

I'm using a pixel 6 with gapheneos currently. I'm looking for a phone that is fast enough to use osmand without the 5 second lag when it has to render all details. Any advice?

I'm diving into the concept of open/ free music. I love and live foss IT stuff and would like to move to open music as well.

Is there some notable movement? Apps? Servers like peertube but for music? How to contribute? How to follow artists/ support artists

There's a section in the free music wikipedia article which I'm currently browsing. What's your experience? How do you live with free music?

I'm not interested in using it for video production but as an end user who's part of the foss movement.
