halm, to linux in Nautilus File Manager Gets More Features Ahead of the GNOME 46 Release - 9to5Linux

I see zero ads on 9to5linux, why bother going online without an adblocker?

halm, (edited ) to linux in is there a foss project to automatically sort files
@halm@leminal.space avatar

This requires no “AI”, just some simple rule-based automation, at most some algorithmic sorting.

  • Android (or some custom branded Android versions?) automatically save downloaded files in folders by Pictures, Documents, etc unless you tell them.not to.
  • Office365 offers the PowerAutomate function, but knowing Microsoft they probably overcomplicated things a bunch. [Edit: obviously this isn’t FLOSS, just a hint at what to look for alternatives to…]

This approach never appealed to me as I want to know where things are rather than where some subroutine thinks it belongs, but I’m certain you will find plenty of software that offers an auto sorting feature.

halm, to piracy in Would a Raspberry Pi Zero be good for Radarr and Sonarr?
@halm@leminal.space avatar

…your 100+ Gb RAM machine chokes on a couple of server applications that others run on commodity hardware? That sounds like a non-*arr issue.

halm, to piracy in Streaming Pirates Are Hollywood’s New Villains - Illegal subscription services that steal films or TV shows bring in $2 billion a year in ads and subscriber fees.

And like I said, I get convenience/availability. I guess paying for stolen goods is one step too far for me. Like, “Dude, pass it around, but it’s not yours to sell”.

So Hollywood copyright lawyers will target illegal subscription services rather than individual downloaders? Fine by me.

I can understand paying for a legal streaming service where at least a tiny percentage of profits goes into producing new material. I pirate out of convenience and availability, because movies and series aren’t released immediately in my region.

Paying somebody for streaming film and TV shows that they have no hand in producing, and thus not supporting new productions — same as I can download for free myself? — that makes no sense to me.

halm, to opensource in Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?
@halm@leminal.space avatar

No worries, I was genuinely uncertain what the current status is. Appreciate the answers!

I see! I missed that nuance since the announcement that K-9 would become TB Android. Thanks for the update.

I’m partial to the old K-9 logo too, but I love that the two email projects I use are working together for interoperability 🙂

Mozilla are currently working on a mobile version of Thunderbird for Android, built on top of K9 mail.

Is that what it is, or is K-9 becoming Thunderbird for Android? My understanding from official announcements was the latter.

@halm@leminal.space avatar

Yeah, you can enable those repos in plain f-droid, too.

What is the draw of droidify other than (I think) using material design?

halm, to selfhosted in So SBCs are shit now? Anything I can do with my collection of Pis and old routers?
@halm@leminal.space avatar

So SBCs are shit now?

Nothing changed, the hardware is the same as before. Your little pi servers are still doing the exact same work they did before. The only variables are prices on SBCs vs used small factor x86s, and the short, short attention span of terminally online hobbyists.

Use whatever you like, no need to race after others’ subjective (and often hyperbolic) judgment.

halm, to linux in Some of y'all need to see this and drop the superiority complex...
@halm@leminal.space avatar

Don’t worry, the joke is that the graph doesn’t have anything to do with popularity, it compares the OSes’ respective current versioning numbers 😉

halm, to selfhosted in Self-hosted or personal email solutions?
@halm@leminal.space avatar

“Self” … “Dost”?

Idk, that looks strikingly like a no-brand Freedom box, except there are no specs to judge by. Just some super iffy, nondescript sales pitch. “That’s it, yes indeed”!

halm, to linux in Old ass chromebook distro recommendation [request]
@halm@leminal.space avatar

If you want a little bit of hand holding to ease you into Arch, Endeavour OS is a pretty smooth distro that makes the install and configuration easier.

halm, to selfhosted in AppleTV complete replacement opinions
@halm@leminal.space avatar

I mean, neither of you is wrong. On user privacy, Apple is probably the least worst of the big providers. At the same time their business model is to lock in users to their platform and hardware. “Once you’ve gone Mac you’re not going back” is the result of a deliberate design choice on Apple’s part.

Sounds to me like OP is aiming to bypass the entire corporate cloud service mess by going self-sufficient via FLOSS?

halm, to opensource in Could we add alternativeto.net to the sidebar?
@halm@leminal.space avatar

There is osalt.com, but it doesn’t seem to be nearly as up to date as alternativeto.
