danielquinn, to linux in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

What exactly is the appeal of Docker Desktop on Linux? I can run docker just fine without it, so what’s it doing for me?

I would suspect that making a stable desktop inside docker ensures it would work everywhere else, no matter what the hw/sw of the host is.
I've only known docker as a building environment that ensures rebuildability and I can't say I ever liked it. I think its popularity comes from some myth of safety and security.

superbirra,

lol some myth you apparently use it for since it does not look like a bit of things are properly understood here ;)

Docker desktop is a GUI frontend for docker

taanegl, (edited )

This is it. It’s for your late sipping Starbucks developer, who needs buttons to click… those luscious, UX’y buttons… I WANNA CLICK THEM!

Okay, so I’m the target demographic. Guilty. Although nowadays I use nspawn, like the maniac I am.

Apparently it lets you set up Kubernetes pretty easily too? idk I don’t use Kubernetes.

Docker desktop is so garbage. Why build a client that doesn’t support connections to a remote host by default? It’s so 90s.

PoliticalAgitator, (edited )

That was my initial reaction too. “Have they considered shipping it as not-dogshit?”

Chewy7324, to linux in Docker team is considering distributing Docker Desktop as a Flatpak and Snap

At first I read only docker without the context of the Docker Desktop client.

Making docker a one-click installation on all distros is great, altough I wouldn’t use it myself.

If they actually make a flatpak I wonder whether they’ll only support rootless docker or if it’ll ask for elevated permissions through polkit.

Let’s make mounts and permissions even harder to get right! But I’m totally up for a flathub release.

youngyoshieboy, to linux in Just found about the BORE scheduler from solus. Anyone know if it actually improves responsiveness for desktop use? If so why is it not used more?

Same question here, anyone having benchmark or something?

mactan,

there was some interest in my lug with the different schedulers but attempts at benchmarking all fell within margin of error from our lay attempts at measuring

Terminarchs, to opensource in Unexpected-Keyboard: A lightweight Android keyboard.

Does it support word suggestions?

It doesn’t.

Norodix, to opensource in Unexpected-Keyboard: A lightweight Android keyboard.

I find this to be the best keyboard. My language uses a lot of non ascii characters and its so much faster to type them with this!

I use it alongside SwiftKey (with Internet access disabled). It’s a godsend in Termux.

merde,

try tracker control and you will see that swiftKey doesn’t respect that “disable”

fenndev,
@fenndev@leminal.space avatar

I use GrapheneOS. It is unable to access the Internet entirely.

null,

An app being able to subvert system-level permissions would be pretty huge news.

I downloaded that app along with SwiftKey and disabled network access for it. Here’s what I get: https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/32b10804-61db-4724-98e1-647e77bf17e1.webp

Where am I supposed to see it being able to access the internet?

merde,

in the “traffic log”

null,

Enabled the traffic log, used SwiftKey in a few different apps, got traffic from those apps, but nothing from SwiftKey. What am I missing?

loki,

a tinfoil hat?

merde,

on my phone, even with disabled access, it was “phoning home” regularly. i’m on AnySoftKeyboard for the last 2 years.

maybe my os wasn’t intact 🤷 it’s degoogled now and (relatively) tracker free

if Swiftkey works for you … good for you.

excuse my comments

null, (edited )

I don’t use SwiftKey, just tested it because you shared a tool for doing it and claimed it was able to subvert Android permissions.

You probably didn’t actually disable the permission – like I said, the idea that an app could get around system-level permissions like that, in a way you could plainly observe would be headline news. It would be astounding that you somehow uncovered something that massive.

node815, to selfhosted in Immich release v1.92.0 (edit: v1.92.1 hotfix released)

Constructively speaking, when I see this in almost every change log, it scares me away. :)

[BREAKING CHANGE]

But I will check it out sometime this week or next. :)

bdonvr,

It’s undergoing massive development, it basically went from nothing to nearly full featured in two years.

The breaking change just means you need to actually do something before updating. The software isn’t quite ready to be put on auto-update yet. Honestly the way the devs aren’t afraid to break things I think has contributed to the fast development.

Just be sure to keep a secondary backup of your photos which you should do either way.

hakunawazo, to selfhosted in Immich release v1.92.0 (edit: v1.92.1 hotfix released)

For all who have no clue what it’s for (like me 5 minutes ago), it’s a “self-hosted photo and video backup solution”.

bdonvr,

It’s really amazing, it’s a drop in replacement for Google Photos and the like with good mobile apps, face/object recognition, etc.

lukecooperatus,
@lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml avatar

I usually interpret the phrase “drop in” to mean that the replacement being referenced will also work with everything written for the original. Does “drop in” in this case mean that Immich will transparently replace Google Photos, similar to how libretube replaces YouTube? That would be amazing!

bdonvr,

“Drop in” as in “You can drop this in your Home Screen where Google Photos used to be and notice very little functional difference.”

SchizoDenji,

That’s not what drop in means…

I really look forward to spin this up tomorrow. Awesome release as always!

Love it! Deployed it this morning.

Loaded the docker for fun on my NAS. I don’t need it, but other users in my home may appreciate this.

elfio, to selfhosted in Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic built natively for Android, now with Android Auto support

I saw you did some steps in order to bring this to f-droid. Is it still on your roadmapm?

antoniocappiello,

Yes, it’s been on my roadmap for a while. I also created a pull request several months ago to enter the repo but it was never accepted (it’s also my fault because I didn’t follow the verification process properly).

elfio,

Thanks for the info!
