I would prefer manually writing each software using butterflies over having snapd installed on my system.

To explain it a bit further: when you move a file/directory on the same mount point, moving the file/directory is essentially just a rename operation, which doesn’t involve copying the data itself and is a very cheap operation. If you move a file/directory across mount points, you need to (recursively) copy the file/directory, copy file metadata and (recursively) delete the old file/directory, which is slow and error-prone.

the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu

This isn’t some “idiotic principle invented by Ubuntu”, it just follows the freedesktop.org Trash specification. For many users, it can be really beneficial, see also the spec’s introduction:

An ability to recover accidentally deleted files has become the de facto standard for today’s desktop user experience.

Users do not expect that anything they delete is permanently gone. Instead, they are used to a “Trash can” metaphor. A deleted document ends up in a “Trash can”, and stays there at least for some time — until the can is manually or automatically cleaned.

Whether an application like Prism Launcher should use the trash can or delete the files directly is an entirely different question.

I never heard of Cozy, but it looks quite nice. The Self-Hosting Documentation ist a bit lacking, but https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack-compose contains all required information to set it it up yourself.

I originally used Nextcloud, but it has a lot of features not related to file hosting

Cozy seems to be in a similar situation, where file storage is just one of many features that it provides. If you want just files, it might be the best idea to just use any WebDAV Server or something like File Browser.

FYI, you mentioned @minecraft@lemmy.world on mastodon which is actually an English speaking community on Lemmy. This created a new discussion post here on Lemmy which propably wasn’t what you intended to do. In the future, please look at the account description before mentioning it.

The error message is very detailed and there is nothing to add to it.

If you want to install an application/CLI tool, use pipx or your system package manager. If you want to install a library, use a virtual environment (e.g. by using python -m venv) or your system package manager.

phyphox has an Audio Amplitude feature.

By providing a modified bitmap to the X.Org Server, a heap-based buffer overflow privilege escalation can occur.

Maybe we should stop writing security critical software in memory unsafe languages. I now this vulnerability was introduced a long time ago, but given that major Wayland compositors are still written in C, something like this isn’t too unlikely to happen again.

This is extremely sad. I use Syncthing a lot to sync documents between my phone an my computer.

The main benefit over client/server-based solutions are that it always works.
No network connection? No problem, the files are all stored locally.
I broke my home server again? No problem, the devices can talk directly to each other.

For this sort of things, LibreOffice Draw can be really good. I even used it in the past to create memes.

I wonder how they turn the lantern off using a button.

I love FairEmail’s simplified mail viewer that doesn’t render HTML mails completely and they look more like an enhanced plain text mail instead.

Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

SPRIND GmbH is also known as „Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen“ and owned by the Federal Republic of Germany. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesagentur_für_Sprunginnovationen and https://www.sprind.org

It supports any ONVIF compatible IP camera as well as USB cameras and the raspberry pi camera module

MotionEye used to be the go-to solution.

I am not sure about the current state of the project (the python 2/3 transition took a long while, there are only pre-releases using a modern python version).

And it’s just some Discourse instance…

They even implemented it in Firefox: moz://a redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

It think this comment explains it really well: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/13239406

I don’t like it. He is just perpetuating the endless stereotypes that plague linux and harm linux adoption.

If you are using a somewhat stable distro and don’t have weird hardware, you don’t need to “write your own driver” etc. A lot more people “punch themselves in the face” by using a buggy, ad infested, data harvesting operating system even though they just need a web browser.
