Hard to believe, but there is still people out there doing thongs for fun or to make the world a better place.

Its very sad to think that all efforts shall be rewarded by money alone.

All the open source contributions I do, I do for free, just because I feel obliged to give back to the community, and I think its the right thing to do.

I don’t condemn devs who want to make money out of open source, but I applause those who truly understand what is at the base of the concept of open source and are able to contribute for the fun or for the good of it.

Including Jellyfin people.

Thanks guys!

Love Gentoo. Being using it for 20+ years and never looked back.

Using also CentOS for work, and would switch to Gentoo if I could.

Really, gentoo for everything (from laptop to headless server), but not for where a rolling release distro is not suitable (configuration control and such needs).

I started with an ancient redhat, moved to Linux From Scratches, landed in Gentoo 25+ years ago and never hopped anywere else since…

Ffmpeg guys, ffmpeg first king… And VLC golden second.

Is this on your personal work PC or company wide?

Be careful not to burn the Linux bridge by being not able to support the transition now… :)

Edit: what I mean is, if you are responsible for this transition, now study study study… Be very careful and test each setup on a “test” machine before going to deploy for others…

I agree, you are perfectly right.

Better pollute the data and make it less economically meaningful?

Sorry, I am not degoogled and I even have maps with history enabled!

That would be in the few meters range BT works…

And maybe the attacker needs to know already that you are you for that to work…

Of course if you use apple or google or Samsung stuff, in general if your stuff is already tracked to you…

I drive mostly around, they can already track me with my car license plate. BT doesn’t give out anything of added value.

So no, I do not really understand the issue, but this doesn’t mean I don’t respect your choice.

Do you want to elaborate on the privacy point?

I personally don’t care if somebody snoops on the music I hear…

I run also, and trust me try wireless, such a better experience without the entangling cables. Specially for sport.

All my micro-usb phones have the port mangled or damaged over time. I had even to replace one, once.

All my usb-c phones have had zero issues with the port itself. And that’s as well true for my kids. Once they managed to break a micro USB but they never even had a single issues in USBC.

They stand much better the forced insertion/unplugging in my experience. yMMv.

I consider myself an old fart, but you need to get out and do more experiences yourself.

Wireless Bluetooth headsets have been pretty nice for years. Don’t go too cheap (but even cheap ones can be good) but don’t waste too much money either on them and you will be fine.

Pairing today is smooth and easy, never had an issue in the last 5 years at very least. Battery life is pretty good, my tw buds get a week worth of charge at my usage (and I use them for daily sport training, calls and occasional video). They get charged automatically when I put them back in the box and the box itself recharge in like 30 minutes.

And you can use them one at a time, which is good to get truly unlimited “call time”. .moreover, my model can both do noise cancelation or environment sound pass-trough which is amazingly good when running on asphalt (the latter) and trying to isolate in the office (the former).

Moreover having no chord dangling getting pulled and catching around is unreliable better experience.

I had to go back to wired a few times (forgot the wireless home…) And found how much worse experience that is.

Of course, I prefer the choice and I have always purchased a phone with audio jack and will do again if at the same price/hardware level.

I got a mildly expensive pair (100€) and are rock solid since I guess 2018 or 2019. Batteries still last as much as needed, and they never failed me. Battery last days with my usage and in any case, just recharge one while using the other. I use them for phone calls mostly, or movies, and lots of music while I run.

I also have a cheapo pair (30€) which still work from 2015/0216 but I didn’t used them much since 2019, so…

Still on 3.5mm Jack. I have a poco x3 NFC. And would buy again a phone with a jack but…

No i don’t use it much, maybe once in a while when I need headphones while my BT tw are charging or I forgot them home.

To be honest wired headphones are unpractical and messy and I always tend to tear them out of my hears. Usually only use them at my desk with my laptop while phone on bt headset.

So to be honest, jack is something I could do without but that would still be an inconvenience for the limited cases I would need.

So probably I would buy a phone without one… Granted I would always prefer one with the jack at same price/hardware point.

Postato da Raccoon… Proviamo e vediamo! Sembra bella! Bravo!

E poi faranno Niagara 2, per cui le licenze a vita di Niagara non varranno…

Giochino già visto altre volte.

Si, 28€… Mica poco, è un launcher alla fin fine… Come dicevo, ci avrei speso fino. A 5€, magari 7€ se proprio lo avessi trovato fighissimo.

Ma se mi proponj 9€/anno o 28€… Disinstallare al volo e ciao.

28€ fanno più di 3 anni. Tra tre anni esisterà ancora? Forse. O forse no. Quindi non spenderei quella cifra.

Sono trappole per attirare venture capitals. Ai è il nuovo fud, ma verso cui convergono i fondi per cui tutti li.

Ovvio che la bolla scoppierà.

La falla in realtà è stata scoperta abbastanza presto e solo Arch linux e parzialmente Gentoo sono impattati.

In ogni caso tocca solo i sistemi con SystemD quindi stock gentoo non è vulnerabile. Non so Arch.

Il vero punto piuttosto è riflettere sulla debolezza della sicurezza sul rilascio di software a tutti i livelli. La falla infatti non è nel repisitory di XZ ma viene iniettata nel tar rilasciato su github per colpa di un contribitor compromesso (o malevolo).

Curioso anche come la falla utilizzi parte di codice committato, ma inattivo, che viene attivato solo dal tarball che, appunto, è stato compromesso. On pratica clonare il repo è sicuro, fidarsi del TAR su github, no.

Si, seba è il maintainer di vayu, tra gli altri, e io il maintainer di surya e karna. Tutti poco x3, ma telefoni abbastanza diversi.
