Maybe take a look at PhotoSync as well, it's not foss but it's a really well-done app and seems to be what you are looking for

Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they've done a really good job

Anyone willing to summarize those mistakes here, for those who can't watch the video rn?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Agree, it doesn't mean the project it bad but it still seems a bit weird. I've texted one of the Dev on Reddit to ask for some clarification about the whole thing, and maybe understand the reasons behind this choices.

Will update you here if they reply

As I replied to the other comment, I wasn't aware of the recent happenings. I've been using Floorp for a while now and when I installed it it was fully opensource.

However, it seems like it's fully opensource again now (sources in the other reply)

Huh! I didn't know about all these happenings around floorp's source code availability, but from what I can see now it should be back as fully open source under the MPL 2.0... am I wrong?

License on official GitHub

Reddit post about coming back fully open source

From the Floorp official website:

Floorp's source code is entirely open, allowing anyone to view it and contribute to the project. Not only is the browser itself open source, but the build environment is as well.

Nope I didn't, but the problem doesn't seem to be the Python version, but instead the fact that now Python is "externally managed" and therefore I cannot install packages using pip install packagename as it used to be.

I know that this is done for security reasons and that the good practice would be using pipx or conda, but the problem is that howdy istallation still tries to use the "old approach"

I was previously using PopOS! 22.04 on my tuxedo laptop and I'd installed on it Howdy to take advantage of the IR camera and have a windows hello alike face recognition feature.

Everything was working fine, but after some time GNOME 46 and its new goodies were too tempting to stick with Pop's old GNOME version (at least for me) and therefore I switched to Ubuntu 24.04

However, when I tried to install howdy using the PPAs as I did with Pop I noticed it wasn't working because of some changes that were made regarding on how Python is managed, and I couldn't find a solution for that. Looking at howdy's GitHub issues, there are a lot of them talking about this problem that seems to be started with 23.x versions already, but having so many issues created a bit too much confusion to me and I didn't manage to find a working solution from there.

Is there anyone here using Howdy on Ubuntu 24.04? How have you managed to install it?

Who else thinks we need a sub for that?

(sublemmy? Lemmy community? How is that called?)

If you are looking for something light and low maintenance, maybe Mint could be a good fit?

I've never daily driven it because I'm not a fan of Cinnamon, but everyone says its light and stable so seems like what you are looking for

Ok thank you for your explanation! So basically if I would want an LLM to answer me basing itself on a large set of documents this would be the wrong approach (because of the context window problem other comments were mentioning)... but then how could I do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Then I would suggest you to take a look at Reverse Proxies, which are programs that let you publicly expose different services hosted on the same computer under different (sub)domains.

The easiest to start with (and also probably the one that better fits your needs) afaik is NGINX Proxy Manager, which can be set up really easily using docker, and you can find plenty of tutorials online (here is one I watched when I was starting to look into docker and selfhosting, it's a bit old but should still be valid).

If after having set up that you will to thinker around it a little bit and dive a bit deeper, there's also Traefik which is pretty cool and also has a lot of materials to learn online.

I don't remember if the video I linked mention it or not, but to use a reverse proxy to expose your services on the web you will first need to set up a dynamic dns (probably the easiest way is to use Cloudflare) or to ask your ISP for a static IP, then go into your routers settings and find the Port Forwarding section where you should tell your routers to send all the incoming traffic from ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to the local IP of your server. And then you should be ready to use spin up Nginx Proxy Manager or Traefik on your server.

(idk if I was clear or not but I swear it's easier that how it seems ahah)

 

È da almeno un anno che nei supermercati intorno a me a Milano (Carrefour e Esselunga, sia grandi che "express") sono presenti praticamente tutti i gusti di barattolino tranne quello, che una volta invece c'era insieme agli altri...

Anche voi avete notato questa cosa? O è una cosa locale? Qualche idea sul quale potrebbe essere la causa?

 

Today thanks to a NetworkChuck video I discovered OpenWebUl and how easy it is to set up a local LLM chat assistant. In particular, the ability to upload documents and use them as a context for chats really caught my interest. So now my question is: let's say l've uploaded 10 different documents on OpenWebUl, is there a way to ask llama3 which between all the uploaded documents contains a certain information (without having to explicitly tag all the documents)? And if not is something like this possible with different local lIm combinations?

 

Yesterday I was trying to install the Ubisoft version of AC Odissey on my PopOS! machine, and I wasn't able to do so because when I try to launch Ubisoft Connect from Lutris, it asks me to do the login and then shows only a black rectangle.

I tried looking online for a solution but as far as I understood it's a problem of the new Ubisoft Connect UI and I wasn't able to find any fix... can someone help?

It really sucks because it prevents me to play some games that are supposed to run on Linux just because at the time I bought them on Ubisoft Connect instead of Steam :/

 

I've recently bought my first Tuxedo laptop, an InfinityBook Pro 16 - Gen8 and after having some minor issues with Fedora on it (mainly with the Tuxedo Control Center) I moved to PopOS! and since then it worked flawlessly. Or at least, it used to work flawlessly until last week, when the laptop started to reboot at (apparently) random points of its usage. This is REALLY annoying.

Does anyone encountered the same issue? Have you identified its causes? And how have you fixed it?

 

I recently finished the episode of The Verge's podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky's CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn't looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons behind this choice maybe I'll give them a chance.

What do you think? Do you use it alongside with the fediverse?

 

A couple of years ago with my old phone (running if I don't remember wrong Android Pie) and my old laptop (running Manjaro KDE) I discovered KDEConnect and how it could enable a clipboard sharing feature similar to the one Apple provides between Macs and iPhones. It was great! Now, after having changed both my phone (now running Android 14) and my laptop (now running PopOS! 22.04) I wanted to reproduce that magic but I found out that with Android 10 some complications regarding clipboard sharing arrived and so it doesn't work out-of-the-box anymore :(

I found some saying that the only way to do that was by the persistent notification button (still ok but meh) and some others reccomending some adb commands to make it work as it was before (which would be great but I wanted to investigate a bit more before pasting some random commands to my terminal)... but it was all kinda old content (referring to Android 10 or at most 11), what's the situation as of today? Do you use clipboard sync? And if so, how?

 

L'alternativa self-hosted a Google Photos Immich ha indetto (già due settimane fa in realtà, ma io lo scopro ora) un contest per un nuovo logo visto che quello attuale per quanto caratteristico non è ideale per diversi motivi (primo tra tutti secondo me fa apparire il progetto come qualcosa ancora di acerbo e sperimentale, piuttosto che una valida alternativa a servizi come Google Photos o iCloud Photos)

In palio $200 per l'autore del logo che verrà scelto, quindi se vi divertite a cimentarvi nella grafica digitale e nel design perché non provare?

Altrimenti (se vi va) date un occhio alle proposte fatte fin'ora e votate la vostra preferita! A me piace molto la proposta di Tyree :)

 

Since I recently set up a decently powerful homelab, with a bunch of services running on docker behind traefik, I thought it would have been cool to try out selfhosting a matrix homeserver for personal use (at the beginning it will be just me, potentially it will extend to some friends and/or a small organization of around 20 people working together). At first I was thinking about going with Dendrite, but then I've seen it still doesn't support Threads, nor Matrix 1.5 API and that despite the announcement of a couple of months ago its repo hasn't yet be moved to the new element-hq GitHub as it happened with Synapse. This made it seem kinda like a "2nd class citizen" compared to Synapse, and therefore made me think if the latter would have been a better option to selfhost. And then I bumped into Conduit.rs so now I have 3 option to be undecided about!

Therefore, here I am asking for your preferences and advices: which is your favourite one / which one would you recommend for my use-case?

 

I know this question has been asked many and many times, but a) this kind of things can change with time (bugs may get fixed or appear, new generations can fix hw problems and get new ones, etc.) and b) I didn’t find it on Lemmy yet (but maybe this is just me being bad searching stuff in the fediverse), so here it is once again.

So, I need to buy a new laptop and I’m undecided between those two machines that, from what I’ve seen, are very very similar, but not exactly the same (apart from the chassis, that should be exactly the same, right?)… What are some differences I could use to decide?

And, if you own one of this two, would you recommend it? Why/Why not?

 

In the last months, the battery of my S2 tablet was draining really quickly, untill it died and I wasn’t able to recharge it. So, I thought that the battery was dead (it served me for a bunch of years so it could have been acceptable) and I ordered on Amazon a new battery to replace it.

After replacing the battery, though, the tablet turned on saying the new battery was at 50% and, when plugged in, it was acting as if it was charging. Apart from the fact that it wasn’t charging the battery that instead was quickly draining even if plugged in.

Obviously I tried cleaning the charging port, changing cable, changing power adapter, changing socket on the wall, but nothing worked. So I assumed that the new battery they sent me was broken and I purchased a new one but when it arrived: exactly same situation.

Could it be that I was very unlucky and I got a broken new battery twice? Or maybe the problem is somewhere else? Did anyone encounter a similar issue?
