Cromite, KeepassDX, Moshidon, Phone, K9
Unfortunately, logrotate does not work the way I would like it to. I have now created a bash script, which hopefully does what it is supposed to do:
undefined
#!/bin/bash
keepCount=30
files=($(ls *.db))
fileCount=${#files[@]}
for (( i=0; i<$fileCount; i++ )); do
database="${files[$i]}"
dbarr=($(ls -t $database.*))
for index in "${!dbarr[@]}"; do
p=$((index+1))
if [ $p -gt $keepCount ]; then
rm ${dbarr[$index]}
fi
done
done
Invoked in the respective directory, all *.db files are read into an array, as there can be different DBs per user. The array is then processed in a loop. First, the backup files for the respective DB are read into the array again, sorted by age. This array is then processed and all files whose index +1 is greater than keepCount are removed. This means that the oldest files are always removed and only those that are defined in the keepCount are kept.
Its a little bit more complicated, but it seems to do the job.
cp with backup, limit count
If I copy files with backup (cp --backup=numbered), the old file is renamed to something like oldfile.ext.1. I get my old files. Can this be limited to a certain number of old files, for example 30? I don't want to have keep more than that...
Bigger thumbnails?
I have searched the settings in the app, but didn't found such a setting. I want to have bigger thumbnails for posts with images and link previews. Is that available or if not can this be implemented? I have added a screenshot from "Thunder" with exact such bigger thumbnails. Can this be done?
How to find the name for Icon in *.desktop file?
Creating *.desktop files for WIndows/Wine applications, specify sometimes a Icon like this:
undefined
[Desktop Entry] Name=Game to start Comment=Play this game on Steam Exec=steam steam://rungameid/738520 Icon=steam_icon_738520 Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Game;
with Icon=steam_icon_738520. Is this extracted from the *.exe file and how do i get the name mentioned here? I know, that i can use the path to a *.png, but i would prefer to use the *.exe file itself.
ffmpeg Hardware encoding Auflösung
In einem Projekt schiebe ich Video von meinen Kameras in ein Verzeichnis auf den Rasperry Pi4. Ein Cronjob geht dieses Verzeichnis dann durch und konvertiert diese Videos mit ffmpeg. Seit letzter Woche schlägt dies fehl. Folgendes Kommando wird dabei benutzt:
ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/4B9A9487.MP4" -vf format=yuv420p -c:v h264_v4l2m2m -b:v 8M -c:a aac -movflags +faststart "/tmp/4B9A9487_cv.mp4". Für einige Video klapp dies, für andere erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung: [h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x558fae9600] Could not find a valid device.
Das es aber für einige funktioniert, für andere nicht, glaube ich nicht, das dies am fehlenden device liegt. Denn wenn ich die Auflösung des Videos reduziere, funktioniert es durchaus. So klappt folgender Befehl mit den bisher fehlgeschlagenen Videos problemlos:
ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/4B9A9487.MP4" -vf format=yuv420p -c:v h264_v4l2m2m -b:v 8M -s 1280x720 -c:a aac -movflags +faststart "/tmp/4B9A9487_cv.mp4".
Geändert hat sich nur die Angabe der Auflösung mit `-s 1280x
Filter in lighttable not working
I use Darktable 5.0.1. I don't know if this is a bug or just a user error on my part. But I can remember that it worked differently in 4.8.x.
When I am in the lighttable module, I can select “rejected only” in the filter. I would now expect to see all rejected images. However, the opposite is the case. I now see all images that have not been rejected. However, if I select “all except rejected”, I see the rejected images.
Why is the filter effect reversed?
USB Debugging is disabled, when im travelling. I had two such situations last week. At the first, i had enough time to shutdown and lock the device, before that. But the second time, they asked to unlock the device. I have no idea, if they can force me to do that, when a password is set, instead of only a fingerprint. But i don't want to risk anything. Its not that i have to hide something. There is nothing on the phone what is not allowed. Only 2 VPN connections, which is not that good in China and some other countries. One for access to my home network and the other which i use in public networks.
I don't want to have any problems with the authorities (in any country). As long as I don't have to hand over the device, they can have a look at what's on the phone. But I also don't want anything to be installed that doesn't belong there and I want to use my VPN the way I want to.
The second situation, was the first time in my travelling, when someone asked me to unlock the device. They didn't take it with them after unlocking it (unlike the situation where it wasn't unlocked) but I don't see what could stop them from doing so.
That's not the point. I travel a lot and here the phone is occasionally checked by the local authorities. I have no control over what the Chinese authorities do with the phone when they take it with them. Needless to say, I don't plug the phone into any USB ports myself. The fact that apps from the Playstore are not affected by this is also OK, but I have installed very few apps via the Playstore, most of them are from F-Droid.
To make a long story short: There were several such situations on my last trip and I was happy that I had this “Auto Blocker” active. But it's not a permanent solution.
F-Droid and Samsung "Auto Blocker"
On Samsung Phones. there is a function called "Auto Blocker". If this is enabled, this blocks installing apps from unknown sources and via USB and ADB. In principle, this is a useful feature, but it also prevents the installation of updates via F-Droid. Even if F-Droid is classified as trustworthy in general and can therefore theoretically install apps and updates automatically, activating this function prevents automatic updates. If this function is deactivated, new apps and updates are installed automatically on request.
Is there a way to activate this function and still receive automatic updates via F-Droid? Does the installation of the F-Droid.apk via ADB/USB change anything in this constellation?
Many thx. This is exactly what I want. Will try that when I'm batch from vacation.
Autocomplete custom scripts?
As my time with linux, I created a lot of scripts. Some of them have input parameters and sometimes I just forget this parameters.
So I wonder if there is some way to create autocomplete parameters, like i autocomplete a path by pressing the tab key?
For example a script. ./test.sh can be completed with parameter-one, eg. ./test.sh parameter-one or ./test.sh parameter-two. If i type now ./test.sh followed by tab it should add parameter-one if i press tab again it should change to parameter-two.
How can I do that? I'm on bash…
Icon with Desktop Notifications
When I send a notification with notify-send -i /path/to/my/icon.png "title" "message" , it appears wonderfully in Gnome 47.4. However, the icon is very tiny. According to the screenshots I saw, the icon can be very large. It is also obviously displayed in addition to the app icon. Is there a way to send such an icon in the message or another way to create desktop notifications?
Remove Gnome with its settings?
I'm using Gnome as DE and was really happy with it until my last update. I would like to re-install Gnome, but want to remove before that all Gnome stuff, settings and dependencies. This is no problem for the packages installed via pacman and also it's dependencies. But I fear that I don't know how to remove all relevant settings. Is there some special folder or set of files to remove, before I can start from scratch?
Roundcube Photos 1.5.6
A new version of Roundcube Photos has been released. New in 1.5.6 is the feature to share images with Mastodon, including multiple images. The manual generation of tokens has been removed, as the plugin now logs on to a Mastodon or Pixelfed instance as an autonomous app. The Timeline view and various internal improvements and bug fixes are also new. You can find the new version, as usual, on https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Pictures
Saving Formdata is not working
I have problems with Formfill and i don't understand how Firefox works here. Obviously, no form data is saved for me. The saving of form data is activated in the settings under Security, in the History section. No data is deleted when closing the application. Even in a freshly created profile, without special settings and plugins, the saving of form data no longer works.
I have also tried to fill out the form at https://www.roboform.com/filling-test-all-fields. No data is saved. With Chrome, however, this is not a problem. Is there a hidden setting or is this a bug?
What to backup before update to 5.0.x?
If i get it right, the database and some other things are modified, when updating from 4.8.x to 5.0.x. That's why I think its a good idea, to backup old Darktable data. The question is, should I only backup the sqlite database or also the sidecar files?
On mobile im using Cromite. At least for me very useful. I haven't tested it fully for privacy, but I don't see any unexpected http requests to spooky Google services or similar thing's.
I don't care much regarding new features as the latest security patches are included.
Is Midori worth recommending?
For me, the browser is by far the most important software on my computer. After all, I use it about 80% of the time on my PC. At the moment, it's more difficult than ever to find the right browser, at least for me. Until about a year ago, it was usually using Firefox. But for some time now I have lost all trust in Firefox. What the vendor promises is in complete contrast to what the software does by default. User tracking in various forms, unsolicited telemetry, remote installation of add-ons are just the very top reasons why I no longer want to use Firefox. Brave is an alternative, but I don't feel very comfortable with it. The default settings are not ideal here either. What's more, it's packed with extras that nobody needs. In the end, I currently use Ungoogled Chromium, fully aware that I don't always have the latest version installed.
Now there's also Midori. I can't figure it out. What should I make of it? To me it looks like a forked Firefox that lags far behind the current ve
Search for hashtags broken?
Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I'm looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound on my instance, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself with these hashtags. If you can't find results through the search, you can't add the hashtag to the "followed hashtags". If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.
Why can't I find posts via the search forhashtags?
Search for Hastags
Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I'm looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself. If you can't find results through the search, you can't add the hashtag to the following hashtags. If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.
Why can't I find posts about the search?
If you have access to a Roundcube instance, you can try my PrimitiveNotes plug-in, if you want. You can find it at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Primitivenotes. Maybe this helps to understand, for what and how i use markdown notes. I have absolutely no knowledge about flutter or Android coding, so I can't help that much.
But I can test and send you a little bit feedback for your app, because I really like your concept so far.
This looks like something usefull. Some observations after first start...
- why does the app requests full file rights, after I selected my local notes folder? If the app has access to that folder (and subfolders), this should be enough.
- for code, examples a code font should be used and not the same font as article text
- i use markdown a lot for code. With this it should be possible to select the whole code block by single click. When using css, this should be possible with > user-select:all
- auto line break should be disabled in the same context. This seems to be already the case for code block but not for single line code
- i would love to see support for yaml. But in the form that i can hide the yaml block
- i think the search feature doesn't work yet. If I have for example a note with the title Manjaro.md and I type "manjaro", it isn't found. The search should also search the text inside the notes or at least the yaml tags (if supported)
- please keep the local folder and don't invest your resources in a sync mechanism. There are so much possibilities like WebDAV, rsync, SFTP and a lot of clouds. To much to make anyone happy. There are some Android apps which sync such things with an ease.
- I keep my rare images in a hidden subfolder of the notes folder like ".media". Not only images, also linked PDF and so on. Such images are not displayed. They seems to be not found
I really like the idea of your app. Could be a good companion for my PrimitiveNotes plug-in for Roundcube. Hopefully you find the time to develop it further.
Deleted
Permanently Deleted
Unfortunately, this version violates the DSGVO by sending telemetry without being asked. This shoots the app directly into out. I hope that the developers have an insight here and remove this function as soon as possible.
Many thx
Loupe or other image viewer?
I'm using Gnome 46 with Loupe as an image viewer. Can this tool perform simple functions like rotating, resizing, or cropping? I haven't been able to find a way to do this yet. Or should I use something else?
MilkyWay Imagestacking Linux
Hi there. I know that Darktable can't do Imagestacking for photos of the MilkyWay. I have searched now for some time, but could find only Siril as Linux Alternative. But in most descriptions, it is stated, that Siril is not the best, when I have parts of the landscape on the horizon and i should only use it, when i have photos from the sky only.
Can someone recommend me a Linux native Imagestacking tool, which I can use also on photos with landscapes on the horizon?
Many thx. I really like this app. Keep up the good work!
Maybe you can try to switch your browser to the so called "porn mode" or "private window" and login there. This will decouple your current session and you don't have to clear the cache. If the community is also visible here, send a mail to the admin and ask for help. He is a nice guy.
I have this effect also sometimes, but not always. It's also different from client to client. With Thunder on Android it's most of the time really fast. On the other hand I'm using sometimes Voyager, where it's a mix between slow and fast. I use the website only in rare case's. But when I do, it was always fast.
Many thx. This would be fantastic
Is it planned to add this feature in the near future?
private/direct messages
Is there currently no way to write or answer direct messages?
Nice test. I like Jerboa, especially the technical implementation. But the Usablity and layout of other apps is much better. That's why my default client is Thunder.
Darktable? It's a RAW developer and photo managing software on Linux, Windows and Mac, a little bit like Adobe Lightroom, but OpenSource. If GPS coordinates are in the RAW, sidecar or jpg files, the photos can be displayed in the map module. Much better, if you have a GPX file and no GPS data embedded, you can assign the photos to the GPX route, as long the timestamp of DateTimeOriginal in Exif is accurate. If the timestamp differs, you can specify the difference.
Maybe Digikam can do the same. But I don't like the KDE framework which is used there. Digikam is available for Linux and Windows (yes, I know it's strange).
If you can selfhost, you can try my SyncMarks AddOn. It will work on any webextension compatible browser, e.g Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Brave, Kiwi and so on. You can sync across all Browsers.
The backend is working with selfhosted PHP/MySQL (or SQLITE) stack. If you can't use this, you can fallback to WebDAV as backend, but with limited functionality.
The addon can work together with the standard sync mechanisms in all these browsers, but it's up to you if you want that.
If the addon is not installed, you can access the backend url with any browser and use it as WebApp. With apps like Tasker or HTTPShortcuts, you can share any url, from any to the backend.
Playing "The Planet Crafter" via Proton
I have played "Planet Crafter" before, in early access without any issues. But now I have seen that the 1.0 is released. For some reason, after the update, I couldn't get the game to start without a crash.
After playing and testing some things, like other Proton versions, GE-Proton and much more, I was about to give up.
But for some reason, I changed and installed the dev channel (1.0.2.x), instead of the stable 1.0.1 version, the game starts up again!
So if anyone has similar issues, you should try to switch to the dev version. Maybe this solves the problem.
BTW: My startup string is gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Devider between posts?
If i remember correctly, there was some space between posts in early versions. On 0.2.9 in card view, there is no space. Is there some way to get back this post divider, so that I can easier see where one post ends and a new one begins?
