Maybe take a look at PhotoSync as well, it’s not foss but it’s a really well-done app and seems to be what you are looking for

Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they’ve done a really good job

Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can’t watch the video rn?

Agree, it doesn’t mean the project it bad but it still seems a bit weird. I’ve texted one of the Dev on Reddit to ask for some clarification about the whole thing, and maybe understand the reasons behind this choices.

Will update you here if they reply

As I replied to the other comment, I wasn’t aware of the recent happenings. I’ve been using Floorp for a while now and when I installed it it was fully opensource.

However, it seems like it’s fully opensource again now (sources in the other reply)

Huh! I didn’t know about all these happenings around floorp’s source code availability, but from what I can see now it should be back as fully open source under the MPL 2.0… am I wrong?

License on official GitHub

Reddit post about coming back fully open source

From the Floorp official website:

Floorp’s source code is entirely open, allowing anyone to view it and contribute to the project. Not only is the browser itself open source, but the build environment is as well.

Thank you, but the problem is that is howdy installation (that gets automatically executed after I run sudo apt install howdy that tries to run “old fashioned” pip commands. So I should either find a way to tweak Howdy install (like building it from source after changing something maybe?) or disable this system security feature temporarily, install howdy and re-enable it immediately after

Nope I didn’t, but the problem doesn’t seem to be the Python version, but instead the fact that now Python is “externally managed” and therefore I cannot install packages using pip install packagename as it used to be.

I know that this is done for security reasons and that the good practice would be using pipx or conda, but the problem is that howdy istallation still tries to use the “old approach”

Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

If you are looking for something light and low maintenance, maybe Mint could be a good fit?

I’ve never daily driven it because I’m not a fan of Cinnamon, but everyone says its light and stable so seems like what you are looking for

Then I would suggest you to take a look at Reverse Proxies, which are programs that let you publicly expose different services hosted on the same computer under different (sub)domains.

The easiest to start with (and also probably the one that better fits your needs) afaik is NGINX Proxy Manager, which can be set up really easily using docker, and you can find plenty of tutorials online (here is one I watched when I was starting to look into docker and selfhosting, it’s a bit old but should still be valid).

If after having set up that you will to thinker around it a little bit and dive a bit deeper, there’s also Traefik which is pretty cool and also has a lot of materials to learn online.

I don’t remember if the video I linked mention it or not, but to use a reverse proxy to expose your services on the web you will first need to set up a dynamic dns (probably the easiest way is to use Cloudflare) or to ask your ISP for a static IP, then go into your routers settings and find the Port Forwarding section where you should tell your routers to send all the incoming traffic from ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the local IP of your server. And then you should be ready to use spin up Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik on your server.

(idk if I was clear or not but I swear it’s easier that how it seems ahah)

Is immich the only service you want to expose? And did you installed it using docker or directly on your system?

Up! Depending on what you are looking for also VanillaOS could be an interesting option

Long time Fedora user here. I’ve used Manjaro for a few months before Fedora and I’ve switched to PopOS! a few months ago because it was better supported from my laptop manufacturer…

I’ve to admin I was a bit skeptical about switching to a Debian based distro, because I’m someone who likes to follow the latest news in the field and gets exited to try the latest stuff. But then I did and gosh if it’s a smoother experience compared to Fedora! (which itself was a notable smoother experience compared to Manjaro). I’m not saying that Fedora experience was bad, I still think is one (if not the) best compromise between usability and freshness, but I’d say that with Pop I’ve had even less troubles than with windows! The price of that? Being stuck with Gnome 42 after having tried the goodies of newer ones :/

TL;DR: If you think you can live without the latest magic from the linux community, to then I’d reccommend you Pop. Otherwise Manjaro is a good distro and from what I can remember NVIDIA drivers works almost out-of-the-box but be ready for some frequent minor troubleshooting sessions

When it reboots the fans are kinda loud until I enter the password for disk encryption, then everything is as expected. Temperatures are more than ok both before and after the random reboots.

Sorry for the noob question but, how can I run a memtest on it?

I really like Photon, that is a web client but with Firefox PWAs addon can be installed a regular app

EDIT: just seen someone else wrote the same in a different comment, wooops

The closest thing to a Discord server Matrix-wise are Spaces, which basically are groups of Rooms that people can join by invite (and maybe by link? But not sure)

I see in Matrix as a protocol great potential but it needs some more projects that will focus on the different aspects of communication.

Element cannot aim to be both a WhatsApp replacement, a Slack replacement and a Discord replacement, but for sure 3 different alternatives for those services can be built all using the Matrix protocol

This!

Discord was great and I’m pretty sure that some projects will take its place (like Revolt maybe that others are mentioning) but PLEASE FOSS PROJECT JUST USE AN INDEXABLE FORUM like Discourse, so that people don’t have to signup and enter a server for each project they use!

I guess that with discord (and many other non-foss free projects) the problem is that they start as free and then wanted to start to make money at a later stage.

For-profit software and companies are not necessarily bad, but they are bad when they take their existing software and start radically changing it for the sake of making more money.

If for example discord always had some features just for Nitro users and others for everyone, and those features (and the nitro price) would have always stayed the same it would have been much better
