  • YSK How to Prepare Your Phone and Other Tech for a Natural Disaster

  • Thank you for sharing this. this looks incredibly useful and although I hope I never have to use it having it installed puts my mind slightly at ease, yknow, just in case.

  • Flatpak integration is still not great

  • Lmao, why are you so agressive? It's a packaging format not bloody politics. I never complained about anything, I stated that one package format was broken and the flatpak wasn't. The mere existence of flatpaks does not and will never threaten the traditional packaging method, or it's QA. Flatpaks merely provide smaller developers an easy way to get their application published, as well as end users a stress free way to install said apps. And yes, they can range from good to dogshit, that comes with the territory of leaving it entirely up to the publishers, but I think Linux users are capable of identifying which flatpaks are dogshit and which aren't. Also what do you mean my home dir is probably exposed? Like it isn't exposed when I install a regular package? Remember the steam bug that just completely wiped your install because they made an assumption with a single variable? Buggy software will always exist, at least with flatpak you can limit an apps access to your system

  • It's kinda one size fits all solution. It allows Devs to build their package one way and have it on pretty much every distro, which is a major sticking point for Linux apps. I don't see why you would use a flatpaks if your distro has the software already though. I use flatpaks alot less now that I've moved to endeavour from fedora. The AUR is a godsend.

    Also flatpak doesn't add to dependency hell, the dependencies it installs are also flatpaks and are completely separate from the system. Recently the arch package of steam simply stopped launching proton games for some reason, I thought I messed something up on my system so I rolled to an old btrfs snapshot and it still didn't work. However the flatpak version of steam just works.

  • vapes

    Jump

  • You have to do all that to dispose of a vape? There's gotta be thousands littered around. Where I live you can just drop them off at a local tip so I keep mine and when my "dead vape" tin gets full I just take them all at once. Even though it's so easy to get rid of them properly there's still WAAY too many just lying around.

  • Simply put, no. The signal protocol as well as the app is open source. Although I imagine signal would not be on the Australian app store for lack of compliance, which is why you can download the app directly from their website. WhatsApp actually uses the signal protocol, but they close sourced it so there's no way to tell if FB put a backdoor into it

  • That looks awesome! what model and prompt did you use?

  • I2P - A public service announcement

    Jump

  • Nope, and it's awesome. I2P works similarly to tor except instead of being discouraged, there's a torrent client built in. Only down side is as it's an entirely P2P network with alot of hops (more than tor) it's quite slow.
