  1. What is the solution regarding the display manager? As SDDMs Wayland support is considered experimental.

    What do you guys use/recommend?

  2. AFAIK most cars with electric parking breaks need to be set into a special maintenance mode either via OBD-2 or a special in-car procedure to be able to change the pads. Otherwise the breaks Pistons just push together and leave no room for the new pads. At least that is what my 2015 VW would do. But every shop around here has that Software or knowledge.

    So Hyundai just upped the game and put some subscription into their service software. Definitely not a consumer friendly move, as changing pads and even disks is not that hard.

  3. I'm running a 6900XT on Arch and have no problems so far. Steam, Heroic launcher and every game i tried so far worked like a charm. You can even OC with LACT [1] if you want to.

  4. Looks like the comments on Mozilla Connect are not that positive either:

    Building AI the Firefox way: Shaping what’s next together - <https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/building-ai-the-f...>

  5. You could have a look at the following list, as there are a lot of options to choose from in each category: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
  6. So far, I have tried Qt directly with C++ and python bindings (pySide6, pyQt), where C++ is definitely the lighter option.

    If you consider python bindings, you could also look into JavaFX. It has the advantage of native images or the option of a fat jar containing all platform dependant FX modules. But the resulting files won't be small.

  7. Looks like this is a nice case were the LLM thinks that silence is "thanks for watching" which was discussed on here a few days ago.
  8. A new semi-passive 850-watt fully modular PSU is around EUR 130, the Noctua fan around EUR 30.

    I guess if you know electronics and how to safely handle the PSU internals, the risk of injury is low, but I personally would not risk it for EUR 100.

    Also, if the only problem was the noisy fan, I guess selling it used would have returned most of the investment, leaving him with like EUR 50 in added cost. Compared to the price of a modern gaming PC, that's nothing (also avoiding not risking your life).

  9. > Ask to put it in a separate room...

    Yes, that's what I had to do for meetings that the organizer thought were important enough. Also, in very sensitive areas special rooms with anti-eavesdropping gear are common [1].

    > I could turn it off entirely, but what if someone needs to call me for an emergency?

    But you would also not be reachable if the killswitch is active ;)

    Don't get me wrong, I think a killswitch can make a lot of sense for highly sensitive areas (R&D, politics, military, ...), but I don't think Fairphone 6 are the devices that target this demographic and thus should not include one. Furthermore, current "offline" measure seem to mitigate the problem okay enough to not need such a killswitch - else we would already have phones with such features. And lastly, killswitches can only mitigate parts of the features modern spyware [2] implements and does not protect from simple human-based errors like the United States government group chat leaks [3].

  10. The easiest solution to such strict privacy needs is to not carry the phones. But then again you also need to worry about other means of espionage.
  11. I've never heard this request from anyone before, so I guess that implementing such a switch wouldn't "effortlessly at least double their market potential".

    What a lot of people talk about is a headphone jack. But even that niche has been filled by USB-C adapters for people that really want them and not only talk nostalgic about it.

  12. Also with regional pricing one must ensure the lock out all those people who want the service cheaper than in their country and try using VPNs or other means. Otherwise you loose even more money.
  13. I can also recommend Lenovo ThinkCentre MiniPCs or similar brands. Those can often be found cheap when companies upgrade their Hardware. These machines are also power efficient when idling, use even less space than a laptop and the case fan is very quiet (which can be annoying with laptops under load).

    I'm currently running Syncthing, Forgejo, Pihole, Grafana, a DB, Jellyfin, etc... on a M910 with an i5 (6th or 7th Gen) without problems.

  14. How are commands handled, that require user input? E.g. password for sudo in your example:

      sshsync group web-servers "sudo systemctl restart nginx"
    
    I like that you included a demo in the README, but it is too long for a gif, as I can't pause/rewind/forward. So splitting into multiple short gifs or converting into a video (if GitHub supports them) could improve the experience.
  15. For CSV files you can also import them directly into a SQLite file using https://sqlitebrowser.org/

    XLSX would be the same workflow with "save as" CSV and then push it into SQLite.

  16. I guess you already know, but you do not necessarily need a server for Syncthing if the devices are on at the same time. If they are not, a simple low-power rpi-like device would be more than enough to implement a star topology, with the pi being receive-only.
  17. If you add some remote command execution, you basically created some sort of a trojan ;-)

    Really like to look of the product page!

  18. Maybe there are subreddits or discord servers about your topics
  19. Maybe your usage might not be affected, I propose to check for a month and if it really goes over the limit, you have the option of canceling the subscription.

    It definitely is worded in a way that it can either be interpreted as (unlimited searches and unlimited premium ai) or (unlimited searches and premium ai).

    It also may not help that they did not enforce the fair use policy until now. At least that is what I read out of their blog post.

    But the fair use policy has been included a long time. I checked 2023-12-25 and found it there, might be available earlier, but no interest in looking harder.

  20. Then don't renew. Nobody is forcing you to pay for the service, and from what you wrote, it sounds like the service is not what you need/want (anymore).
  21. I find the README of the repo much better to quickly understand what this software is and isn't.

  22. Duden mentions this: "Bei Verwendung von Großbuchstaben steht traditionellerweise SS für ß. In manchen Schriften gibt es aber auch einen entsprechenden Großbuchstaben; seine Verwendung ist fakultativ ‹§ 25 E3›."

    But isn't it also dependent on the available glyphs in the font used? So f.e. it needs to be ensured that U+1E9E exists?

  23. 93 mpg = 2.53 l/100km
  24. How about the good old analogy of giving your house/car/safe keys to a total stranger while going on vacation?
  25. There was also no need to buy a case and a screen protector.
  26. When I visited the southern island of NZ in 2019 I was shocked how little insulated the houses I stayed in were, considering that the winters are quite cold. For example, most windows only had 1 pane tech. Whereas here in Europe modern windows use 3 panes for better insulation and sound filtering.
  27. A lot of places in Austria (esp. Vienna) are heated with burner Technology (gas/oil/pellets). The article states that this energy usage has been converted and is included in the total amount.

    A quick search indicates that 1kg of pellets generates ~5kwh. So when burning 4to. of pellets in winter that adds about roughly 50kwh per day.

    When using burner tech to heat, a good way to reduce the cost and profit from pv is to add a heating rod in the buffer tank of the heating system.

  28. I've installed Syncthing (https://syncthing.net/) on my phone(s) and it syncs selected folders directly to my Synology NAS at home. As Syncthing uses its own discovery system, there is no need to open anything up to the internet.
  29. SCP. simply for the encrypted transmission, and most *nix machines have ssh
  30. There is also a Dockerfile - might make ad-hoc deployment easier, but have not tested it: https://github.com/mozilla/send/blob/master/Dockerfile
