BCsven,

Yeah, I have the same machine. it will be saying 1 minute left on the spin cycle for 10 minutes.

BCsven,

Nothing like spring/summer outdoor fresh dried laundry

BCsven,

It was a joke, since the Welsh say “I’ll do it now, straight away” for immediately, but “Now, in a minute” for I’ll do it, but have no estimate of when it will get done.

BCsven,

Must be a Welsh machine. I’ll be there now, in a minute.

BCsven,

You can install the Google Pixel Camera app if you want the functionality they offer. Grant it access to network upon install, then grant camera, microphone, location, sensors, and access tp all storage or assign a storage space. Should work as you expect oyher than it doesn’t integrate with the GrapheneOS gallery app, and prompts you to install google photos. you can still access photos by opening the Graphene gallery.

BCsven,

GrapheneOS is the answer. Apps can be sandboxed away from OS. No Gapps integrated into the OS. Camera disable button if you are really paranoid.

Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence,...

BCsven,

Do you work for them; To know?They have slowly matched googles offerings and offer linux integration. User suggestions/pressure can direct their efforts. Many of us have dumped Google for Proton. They announced desktop app for Windows and MacOS

proton.me/blog/proton-drive-windows

And there is a feature request started for Linux

BCsven, (edited )

Actually their pages say it is hard to find Linux devs for desktop, and that is why it is slow. And there is already a proton drive API you can use with rclone on linux.

And as far as critisim you said specifically not as good as google, so I provide a reason why. you can’t then change you tact and say it wasn’t critism whenvyou do a compare. It will come, things take time. You seem to keep moving goal posts here so have a good rest of your week.

BCsven,

yeah, I am hoping thry add Proton Drive account to that list of online services

BCsven,

Yeah I have the seadrive setup also. But GNOME accounts is very well done

BCsven, (edited )

If you use GNOME DE you go to the online accounts dialog, click Google and setup with your credentials, it adds GDrive to Nautilus, integrates gmail and calendar into evolution client.

BCsven,

I’m not aware of what is available for KDE. i didn’t see it when I tried KDE, but maybe somebody has successfully used the packages to setup something similar

BCsven,

It shows in the Mounts section of nautilus, for apps that don’t recognize that you may have to go to /run/media/username/mount if it doesn’t show up in the Other section of file pickers

BCsven,

That is why you give your credentials in the online accounts section. proton made an email bridge, no reason they can’t bridge an encypted drive

BCsven,

Dev is slow because they release a good User experience, rather than buggy junk. Linux seems to be 3rd on their list but it comes eventually. Per the link you can use Windows or Mac sync now. Don’t forget google had a long head start and almost unlimited devs.

BCsven,

Americans forget their history because it is not widely taight to them, so the smallpox prevails, but history channel put together a good summary of American Genocide history.com/…/native-americans-genocide-united-st…

BCsven, (edited )

This makes me think you did not read the full article and the timeline. Of course the indigenous people survived the first wave of diseases. The majority did not die out, This is why the colonizers were later fruatrated with the situation of trying to expand into more land. There are so many historic books about the systematic elimination of “Indians”. The diaease trope is what is taught in american school so we can feel detached from their ultimate demise. But if you don’t have time to search and read, just look at this wiki link on how many were genocided rather than the paltry few you think were left over from disease. …wikipedia.org/…/Genocide_of_Indigenous_peoples

BCsven,

I hear you. My openSUSE Leap has been so stable that I got bored with nothing to tweak. Their MicroOS has an immutable system with config file setup capability, and sombody built this for it to make config file creation simple opensuse.github.io/fuel-ignition/editso that was fun for a while. But NixOS was a nice distraction also

BCsven,

I haven’t had issues with my OpenSUSE Leap install in 7 years either, there is careful curating, and automated QA testing, and roll back snapshotting if you break something while messing about. But I have a NixOS machine also. It provides a nice way of configuring a repeatble system, which is probably a huge bebefit for folks making / deploying linux devices that are 100% repeatable.

BCsven,

my thoughts which may have inaccuracies: in NiXOS The package declares the exact version of dependencies needed. when you update nixos it takes up quite a bit of space because you may have some links to one library but another app uses something else and both are stored on drive, and your old install is still there to roll back to. On other distros a package lists dependencies, but during updates a single dependency may have a bug fix point release, and upRev. so the behaviour of that app you added may change depending on all it subparts changing. So when you install non nix today or 6 months that package also determines how it may function. if Dependencies updated in the meantime your install may act different. NiX prevents this since you have a repeatable install.

The documentary on it explained that the cycles are timed to ensure proper cooling, and not warming too much for too long for sanitary reasons, so if an employee over filled the milk by a small amount the machine would sense the extra process time and default to needing a dump and clean. There was that raspberry pi device that would bypass that but for obvious reasons mcdonalds repair company lobbied against it.

VPN to home network options

I currently have a server running Unraid as the OS, which has some WireGuard integration built in. Which I’ve enabled and been using to remotely access services hosted on that server. But as I’ve expanded to include things like Octopi running on a Pi3 and NextcloudPi running on a Pi4 (along with AdGuardHome), I’m trying to...

Adding a wireguard system that has iptables adjuated to include forwarding and masquerading will allow your single wireguard connection to see the rest of your LAN www.stavros.io/posts/how-to-configure-wireguard/

BCsven,

If you are totally new to wireguard setup, I found that reviewing all of these links gave me a better understanding of how the configuration setup worked. No one site seemed to cover it all, and each on had some good tips or explanation about a certain part of wireguard.

golb.hplar.ch/2019/07/wireguard-windows.html

emanuelduss.ch/…/wireguard-vpn-road-warrior-setup…

docs.sweeting.me/s/wireguard#

This Stavros one has the post-up/down IP table modifications for forwarding traffic and your wg device masquerading as any device on the LAN

www.stavros.io/posts/how-to-configure-wireguard/

www.linode.com/…/set-up-wireguard-vpn-on-ubuntu/

BCsven,

It does the wireguard config for you so you don’t have to reconfigure each machine when a new item is added to your network. Still peer to peer type network rather than single vpn to a lan router
