  • Jitsi Meet is a good foss choice for video conferencing in general, and includes a decent screen sharing function. You can try it out on the free to use (8x8 hosted, I think?) instance at https://meet.jit.si/

    Heads up: that partocular instance now requires the host to be logged in to either a Google or Gihub account first, raising privacy concerns. that's just how that instance is configured tho, to avoid abuse. it's also self hostable and there should be other free instances available if you search for them.

    edit: just noticed a few already mentioned this one (sorry, i must have scanned too quickly). fyi, Jitsi works well in combo with OBS virtual camera, allowing very precise control over exactly what audio and video you're streaming

  • I just rebuilt my wife's old Dell laptop (AMD with a super generic Intel on-board GPU). It's now running Debian stable + KDE and WoW installed easily under Lutris (start with their Battle.net wizard). Diablo III runs as well, but with some weird grphical glitches. Wife thinks they're cool tho, so I stopped trying to fix it. Anyway, WoW seems playable enough for her, though super crowded towns like Orgramar (sp?) occassionally crash the game.

  • I've heard Bazzite mentioned repeatedly as a popular distro for Linux gaming (and I plan to test drive it on my old laptop soneday when I get around to it). My understanding is that it's a standalone distro you can run locally, same as Debian/Arch/Ubuntu/etc. I suspect the "cloud native" marketing term in this context just means you can run the same image file in a vm, vps, bare metal, whatever.

    If I'm dead wrong, hopefully my reply will be sufficiently inflammatory to trigger a correction, lol.

  • Mainly having issues with Sequoia's software firewall, but there are other annoyances as well. The latest iOS update all but broke my Mail app too. I'm tolerating the macOS issues for now, but about to replace my iphone with a Pixel running LineageOS. I've about had it with the big apple lately.

  • I have a Brother color laser printer (technically it's like LED or something? not home, don't have the exact model handy). It has built in wifi and ethernet for network printing. The wifi isn't configured, and the ethernet is manually configured with a static IP for my LAN... but no gateway address. This breaks outgoing network connections to the internet (as evidenced by the printer's inability to check for firmware updates), while behaving otherwise normally for all my LAN devices. I hope this info is useful!

  • This exactly. We need to pass ranked choice voting before any third party candidtaes (from either side of the political spectrum) will ever have a chance. Until then, our top priority is keeping the fascist extremists from seizing control, or we may lose our "right" to vote entirely.

  • I run real-time full band rehearsals with jamulus.io for low latency audio, plus any video tool of your choice (with the audio muted). we use muted Jitsi Meet for the video feed, but it really doesn't matter. it's all about the Jamulus audio

    wifi Temperature gauges?

    Sorry if this is a newb question; I'm coming in cold. I've had HAOS running on an RPi4 for months, but I haven't invested in any smart devices to connect yet.

    I'd like to start with some (ideally open source) smart gauges just to check the temp out front and back. Any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    Customize icons & fonts?

    I purchased a Pixel 7 for my wife specifically to install Lineage OS 21, replacing a Samsung Galaxy which hasn't received updates for years. She hates changing phones, but I sold her on a Pixel + Lineage so she can keep the phone as long as possible, still receiving OS updates.

    I'm super happy with the outcome, finding Lineage to be a huge win. However, my wife is extremely particular about customizing her interface, and finds Lineage (or maybe it's just the newer Android 14?) lacking the customization options she wants. She's coming from a much older Android version, possibly relying on a few Samsung-specific options.

    In particular, Lineage's Trebuchet launcher doesn't seem to let her group apps as folders in the app drawer (tray?) - only on the primary Home screen. When she swipes up, she gets an overload of apps all at once, and she wants to group those into folders the same way the Home screen allows. The Home screen itself she prefers to keep super clean. The config she likes w

    Looking for a good tablet PC distro

    I just inherited a handful of Samsung Series 7 Slate PCs that I'd like to rebuild to be as "tablet-like" as possible for a few non-technical friends and family. They power up but arrived with non-functional Windows 7 installs. They're Intel Core i5s with 4G RAM and 128G SSDs, so they should run pretty well under any popular Linux distro. I'm personally comfortable in the command line and don't want to sacrifice the fact that these are "real computers with a real OS" on them, but I'd still like them to behave somewhat similar to Android tablets for less techie users.

    If these were laptops with keyboards and trackpads I'd probably just install kubuntu or Mint on them and call it a day, but I'm not sure if KDE Plasma behaves well on a touchscreen tablet interface with (hopefully) an on-screen keyboard and so forth. Ubuntu Touch sounds somewhat promising, but I haven't really played with it. I don't want to waste hours trying to get device drivers to work for the touchscreen and other bui

    Cloudflare Zero Trust WebDAV Access

    (crossposted from c/Cloudflare on lemmy.ml) The Cloudflare community doesn't appear to be active yet, so I was hoping some fellow self-hosters might have a good suggestion. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

    zero trust webdav access help

    I'm trying to secure a WebDAV server behind Cloudflare using Google OAuth. This works great in a web browser, but I need our users to natively mount the WebDAV share to their local Mac/Windows/Linux desktops as a mounted network volume, and I haven't figured out a way to accomplish this.

    I'm hoping there might be some way to first require authentication in a browser window, store that authenticated user's IP address "somewhere on Cloudflare", then continue to allow https access from their IP through other connection means, including a secondary browser that hasn't also been explicitly authenticated, or more to the point - a native OS mount request of the https volume. The origin server also requires it's own Digest authentication, so once I've verified a particular IP address is a valid user, I'm willing to allow them to direct-authenticate to the server.

    Anyone have any thoughts on how do this? If not possible through Cloudflare, I'll gladly take an alternate solution that enables 2
