Yes, I’ve copied the title from their project.

Proxmox describes itself as an virtualization management platform.

Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete, open-source server management platform for enterprise virtualization. It tightly integrates the KVM hypervisor and Linux Containers (LXC), software-defined storage and networking functionality, on a single platform

I’m pretty sure microG isn’t installed by default because of how it’d conflict with installing MindTheGapps (Google Apps).

It’s great to see LMFG continuing for a while because its users would have to wipe their device to switch to LineageOS + microG.

That’s awesome. Is it as simple as adding the microG repo to F-Droid and installing from there?

Adding to that, there’re builds of LineageOS with microG preinstalled, which should be relatively similar to CalyxOS.

I personally would be hesitant to host Immich publicly until they’ve done a security audit. The risk of accidentally exposing my photos publicly is too big for me.

That’s why I recommend using Tailscale or Wireguard directly. Personally I’m using Wireguard for me and Tailscale for other people I want to easily access my services.

(Of course, not realistic if you have 500GB of music and no SD card slot in your phone)

That’s the problem right there. SD card storage is so cheap, but the manufacturers don’t include a slot for it.

It’s a sad day. E.g. former MEP Felix Reda did incredible work around the time of the 2017 EU copyright reform and helped the protests through transparency.

Now with the risk of badly written laws enabling (atm. restricted) surveillance, we’d have needed them more than ever. Luckily there’s still MEPs from the Czech Republic in the EU parliament.

Sadly you’re right, I’ve watched the beginning of three different ‘critiques’ on YouTube, and all of their first points are summed up by ‘oh no, it’s multiple women in major roles’. And at least one of them didn’t like that Amandla Stenberg is non-binary.

I for one like the first episode. Especially how they made clear that the politics and public perception of them is the jedi’s utmost priority, which might help explain the downfall of the jedi order in the prequels.

Torrents are based on the idea that everyone using them pays for it with their bandwidth and hardware cost. Except for those leechers who don’t share.

I’m paying more for my seedbox than for my usenet subscription. If I used my own hardware I’d pay with stress on my hardware, e.g. the disks aging and failing earlier because of seeding. The power consumption is also not negligeble, altough the server is also used for other purposes.

With private trackers this idea of an equal exchange is more obvious because of ratio requirements.

Edit: I’d say it’s similar to open source in that no single individual has to pay for it, but someone does have to, for it to exist. Most often with their (valuable) time and knowledge. If no one helps out and does their part (through money or time+knowledge), a project won’t survive for long. Same is true for torrents.

Same. It’s been great on a few occasions, but I’m not playing much in general. It still came down to a third of my playtime being on Steam Deck last year.

Though I have to say I did use it more than I expected over the last two years.

I will be surprised if Spotify won’t announce a new more expensive HIFI subscription with their support for lossless audio. Imo this still makes it less interesting than Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz since it’ll still be impossible to permanently download music from Spotify.

Nonetheless it’s great that Spotify will provide lossless audio for those who want it.

Are you using multiple monitors? With X11 multi-monitor setups one of the monitors always tears if the framerate aren’t multiples of each other (e.g. 120Hz + 60Hz works fine, 144Hz + 60Hz results in tearing with one of them). This is also the case with variable refresh rate (FreeSync), but VRR shouldn’t be an issue as it’s not enabled by default on X11 iirc.

You’d have to manually enable Wayland, because PopOS disables it by default (does not show in the login menu/GDM). Keep in mind that PopOS is based on Ubuntu 22.04, which is quite old at this point. Wayland might not be as good of an experience for you because lots of improvements happened over the last two years.

PopOS will release their new COSMIC wayland desktop environment with updated packages in a few months, which should work well for gaming and fix your tearing issues.

If you want to try whether Gnome Wayland solves your issue, you can edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and set WaylandEnable=true. After a reboot you should be able to select Wayland in the bottom right corner at login.

Google has always been able to remove installed apps remotely, although I believe they only use it for malicious apps, not for apps that simply get removed from the Play Store.

But I’ve also been mislead by the headline.

Clickbait makes me appreciate my preferred small tech news outlet, which has been doing serious journalism without sensationalism for over 25 years. The authors even interact in their forum, which is still active because of how the site actually cares about the community.

My mental list of sites I try to avoid is longer than the list of actually good sites. Sadly those thrash sites get pushed up in rankings of Google News and similar aggregators because clickbait clicks well.

Shares aren’t necessarily voting shares, but I don’t know how that works and if it’s even relevant for the private Valve corporation.

So maybe Gabe Newell does have full control over Valve, or he might not.

It’s definitely interesting that it’s only 25%.

As a former LineageOS for microG user I’m happy to say that it’s no longer necessary to use it instead of official LineageOS because they finally added signature spoofing to upstream LineageOS [1].

As far as I understand, this allows microG to work perfectly fine with any app on official LineageOS, without any patching of the ROM needed.

I haven’t tried it and there’s no reason to switch of LineageOS for microG, but I’ll definitely give it a shot on a future device.

It doesn’t seem like there’s much ongoing work on suyu, which isn’t surprising since emulators are difficult to develop. Not many people have the necessary knowledge and are willing to work for free.

So yes, suyu is there for people who need it for it’s performance, but it seems likely that Ryunjinx continues to improve while suyu won’t change much in terms of performance and compatibility.

It’s great for the games that are already running well though, especially on low end hardware like the Steam Deck.

The 13T Pro, as well as the standard 13T, come in two versions - dual-glass design and glass front with vegan leather back, both featuring plastic frames with matching colors and metal-like finish. [1]

The Xiaomii 13T Pro is available with a vegan leather back (plastic) which won’t break from a drop. Instead vegan leather likely deteriorates in look and feel over the years, but I’d prefer it over broken glass.

Glass backs were already popular on Android phones when Apple started using them. Previously they used metal backs, but they aren’t compatible with wireless charging so manufacturers have to choose between plastic and glass — guess which one is more popular with reviewers?

Huaweii’s HarmonyOS is also based on Android, just like other manufacturer’s Android reskins.

They might’ve hard forked AOSP without incorporating newer changes and over time farther deviate from upstream AOSP, but at least three years ago they basically just replaced all mentions of Android with Harmony.

Or they do it like their e2e-encryption: proprietary extensions to RCS without any compatibility with other RCS apps (not that there’s any, given it’s necessary to partner with Google to do so).
