Skyhighatrist, in Looking for a voice command/macro program

while I was writing this comment I came across this: LinVAM which sounds like exactly what you are looking for. But, if that doesn’t work out for you here’s what I was originally writing:

Voice Attack may fit your needs.

BUT

  • it’s not Linux native.
  • It’s not free.

However, my research does suggest that it works in Linux via proton/wine, and so it may serve your needs since what you’ve described is basically exactly that software’s whole purpose. It’s popular for adding voice control to games by mapping voice commands to game controls.

i am sure LinVAM works great but i am on wayland so will have to give it a miss, also voice attack is a goto but i am unable to find how to use it in linux, theres a reddit post but deleted

Skyhighatrist, (edited )

It’s available on Steam, so you could get it there and run it through Proton. I don’t know how well it works there like that, but if it doesn’t work you could refund it.

That doesn’t work sadly as voice attack has two ms dependency’s that proton can’t satisfy

Skyhighatrist,

Do you know what those dependencies are? They may be installable using protontricks, or manually via wine into the prefix if that doesn’t work. I have had some luck doing that for other software in the past that required dependencies that weren’t satisfied.

drwankingstein, (edited ) in What Is Linux Mobile - technical explanation of the ecosystem for Linux on smartphones previously (often previosuly android)

one of the issues I have with mobile linux is flutter has some really good apps, but when you try to use them on linux the performance plummets, this makes a whole slew of great touch primary applications unusable.

this article was pretty hard to read, but I greatly disagree with android having bad UX, maybe for some users but to me android’s UX is pretty great

deathmetal27, in Blender 4.0 Problems pls help ;-;

That doesn’t look right. But I haven’t tried 4.0 yet. Let me check.

gugidugi, in Blender 4.0 Problems pls help ;-;

devtalk.blender.org/t/…/542I’d test 4.0.3 or 4.1 from the build bot builder.blender.org/download/daily/ to see if this is fixed or not. Then report a bug to blender.

Pacmanlives, (edited ) in Looking for a good tablet PC distro

Might want to check out Ubuntu Unity. It was made more Netbooks(when those where a thing) and Touchscreens. But as another poster pointed out Bliss looks really nice for this use case

DetachablePianist,

I’ll look at that, thanks! I put Bliss on one and I’m not really happy with it yet. Just trying to type my wifi password had the UI wigging out on me, had to use a usb kb just to type the pass. I’ll look into Ubuntu Unity tho, thanks!

Max_P, in How to secure (podman or docker) containers for public-facing hosting?
@Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me avatar

Both Docker and Podman pretty much handle all of those so I think you’re good. The last aspect about networking can easily be fixed with a few iptables/nftables/firewalld rules. One final addition could be NGINX in front of web services or something dedicated to handling web requests on the open Internet to reduce potential exploits in the embedded web servers in your apps. But other than that, you’ve got it all covered yourself.

There’s all the options needed to limit CPU usage, memory usage or generally prevent using up all the system’s resources in docker/podman-compose files as well.

If you want an additional layer of security, you could also run it all in a VM, so a container escape leads to a VM that does nothing else but run containers. So another major layer to break.

Spider89, in KRITA 5 2.2 NEW features update! 2024

Krita is one of the most best software there is.

Unfortunetly, I can’t draw :(

Guenther_Amanita, in Blender 4.0 Problems pls help ;-;

Did you try the Flatpak version or packages of other distros (like Fedora) via Distrobox?

You probably installed it on your Manjaro install via pacman, did you?

schmorpel, (edited ) in Looking for a voice command/macro program

I found KDE Simon, and Numen … I’ve only ever used a commercial product, Dragon Naturally Speaking, many years ago. It was used so I could speak instead of typing texts but it did have functions to assign commands as well - don’t think it worked on Linux though.

schmorpel,

For speech to text I also found Speech Note (not to confuse with Speechnotes, some similar thing from a different team I believe)

sudneo, in How to secure (podman or docker) containers for public-facing hosting?

You already mentioned the most important things.

I will add, at the cost of being pedantic:

  • build the image properly, or use good images. This means limit dependencies as much as possible, as minimal images as possible (less updates due to CVEs, less tooling).
  • do not mount host volumes, if you really have to, use a dedicated subpath owned by the user of the container. Do not use homedirs etc.
  • do not run in host namespaces, like host network etc. Use port mapping to send traffic to the container.

If you want to go hardcore:

  • analyze your application, and if feasible, build and use a more restrictive seccomp profile compared to the default. This might limit additional syscalls that might be used during an exploitation but that your app doesn’t need.
  • run falco on the node. Even with the default set of rules (nothing custom), many exploitation or posts-exploitation steps would be caught, such as “shell spawned” etc.
krash,

Never heard of falco, why would you recommended it over other similar solutions out there?

sudneo,

It’s the de-facto standard for runtime container security (sysdig is based on it). The only competitor afaik is aqua security’s tracee, which is way less mature. It is very well supporter, there are tons of rules maintained by the community and it is a CNCF project used by enterprise solutions (I.e., shouldn’t disappear overnight).

digdilem, in Best distro for data science? [request]

We use EL (Specifically Rocky, a rebuild of Redhat) for this, but I strongly suspect that any of the main distros will be absolutely fine provided they have modern enough versions of the software you need.

Guenther_Amanita, in How to make your own custom ublue image.

Wow! Is it really this easy? Awesome, I’ll look into it, thanks!

Sentau, in #129 Hello 2024 · This Week in GNOME

Now that askayo is officially part of gnome, I hope that vrr is shipped with gnome 46 as an experimental feature at the very least

jlow, (edited ) in Blender 4.0 Problems pls help ;-;

I have a NVDIA GPU and no idea what could be the problem here, unfortunately. The only thing that comes to mind is that when you bake textures you need to disconnect the metallic node or turn it to 0, otherwise the bake will be completely black. No idea if this is related but it looks like it might be a problem with reflection?

You tried to uninstall and reinstall the GPU drivers? Are there different versions of the drivers (for NVDIA there are) that you could try?

aradgus,

i tried different drivers, nothing helps have reported the but to blender, seems like some other user has the same problem projects.blender.org/blender/blender/…/115957
