Linux@lemmy.ml•An alternative decentralized internet for sharing text and media: The Gemini ProtocolEnglish
15·8 days agoThis reminds me of RSS, designed for reading and pared back to the minimum required to deliver the message and nothing more.

Linux@lemmy.ml•An alternative decentralized internet for sharing text and media: The Gemini ProtocolEnglish
3·8 days agoDeedum has fallen behind and doesn’t support recent android it seems. Same for the only other client in fdroid, Pocket Gopher.

Linux@lemmy.ml•An alternative decentralized internet for sharing text and media: The Gemini ProtocolEnglish
40·8 days agoGopher guarantees readers that there will never be anything other than text and media served on a site. They don’t have to trust the publisher, the protocol enforces it.

Linux@lemmy.ml•CachyOS boot partition usage limit has exceeded (limine-snapper-notify)English
4·11 days agohttps://discuss.cachyos.org/t/boot-partition-usage-limit-is-exceeded/21452
This seems to be not uncommon problem with default setup of cachy. Recommendations there are that 2gb default for /boot is too small and some other tips to slim it down.
I see this with flatpaks, the solution might be to grant permission to the app to the part of the filesystem your dragging from with flatseal/cmdline.
HOWEVER I do think the desktop is missing a pop-up which offers to do this for you when it happens. This is how android does it when an app needs access outside its own files, you just get a prompt to allow it.
This is the sandbox future - it’s safer and you can trust that apps can’t go snooping around your system but users shouldn’t need to fiddle with perms all the time to get stuff done.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Sometimes, my computer is very slow and sometimes really fast. Fedora 43.English
5·15 days agoThis is my thought too. Your screenshots don’t show cpu freq. Everything can appear normal on other measures but if your cpu has throttled right back it’ll run slow with no obvious cause. I have seen this on certain laptops when external peripherals are added/removed after waking from sleep. Sometimes forcing sleep/wake or a reboot will fix.
Use
lscpuat the cmdline or better yet install gnome extension ‘system monitor next’ and put the cpu freq graph in your top bar to watch it in realtime.https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/3010/system-monitor-next/

Linux@lemmy.ml•Request: Youtube application/frontend with good touchscreen supportEnglish
6·22 days agoThere’s an unofficial desktop version of Newpipe now it seems:
https://flathub.org/en/apps/net.newpipe.NewPipe
I’ve not tried desktop but I do use it on Android. Taps to the left\right advance video in multiples of 10s. Dragging vertically on left/right adjusts volume and brightness. It’s a pretty decent touch interface I’d say.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Do dotfile management tools such as GNU Stow gracefully handle apps with dynamic directory names? (e.g. Firefox profile directories)English
2·23 days agoStow cannot do this as far as I know. Chezmoi can though you’ll need to fiddle with templates and ignores to achieve it:
However as others have said a dotfile manager may not be appropriate for all apps. It assumes a certain kind of behaviour of the app - known config locations, text files etc.
I think your suggestion to backup/clone/restore your ideal Firefox config onto new machines is probably most practical if you do want to use a dotfile manager with it. That way you ensure the dir name is the same across all machines. Then you can use stow to manage parts of the profile going forward.
I would consider FF’s own sync solution also though - I believe you can self-host it too.

Linux@lemmy.ml•What folders do you make in addition to the default ones ?English
2·2 months agoThis dir structure for git projects is the best one I think, especially if managing multiple identities/git configurations. Git has a ‘includeif’ to change your setup depending on which dir you are currently in:
copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:
https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/3313#issuecomment-3538526927
…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.
It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to mount/unmount network drive as needed [SOLVED]English
1·2 months agoHow frustrating about the hangs, looks like this has been a problem for years in various desktops and file managers and you’ve already found the best mitigation (keeping the mounts out of home)

Linux@lemmy.ml•Is there a way to mount/unmount network drive as needed [SOLVED]English
20·3 months agoMaybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.
Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
You’re welcome!
