TLDR: The Atomic Desktops where just shipped with no way to update the bootloader.

Thus the shim signatures were outdated and newer kernels couldnt boot anymore.

The fix is to manually update the boot things by copying files, there never have been reported issues with the fix, and bootupd will be likely, finally, added to Fedora 41

Try KDE Plasma, you can strip out a ton of it, for example XOrg entirely, baloo, animations, etc.

I think XFCE has way more themes etc. Both are extremely themable though.

What have I done XD

Swap is only needed for emergencies, if you have a bad oom, and if you have low RAM.

If you have like 1-4GB of RAM, ZRAM may be better than swap.

I mean, Github is literally the source of 2 operating systems I run. And most of my apps.

Really?? This is crazy.

Afaik headscale is the selfhosted server. You can likely login however you want.

Already found them but that is not a nice way.

I am getting AndroidStudio Flatpak currently and will just build the APK myself. Lets see how hard that is.

Run it through the terminal.

Just yesterday I noticed how insane proprietary apps on Android became.

  • nearly all of these work 90% as webapps through the browser
  • the Webapps have some arbitrary limits though, like being partly PC-style only, or having "install the app" buttons everywhere, not allowing to view Videos, etc.
  • they have like 10 buttons and settings, dont do client side encryption and generally just do stuff the Webview can do
  • they are f**ing 400MB+ big???

Examples:

  • Sennheiser Soundcontrol
  • TikTok
  • Instagram
  • X
  • ...

All proprietary bloated garbage. Updates take literally minutes on them. It is insane, as they should be like 20MB max, as everything is just Webview.

These are as big as Electron apps.

Firefox is ≈ 300MB big. AN ENTIRE BROWSER

Some way to encrypt the decryption key.

This could also mean TPM + Pin. Or using a Nitrokey, externally, which stores the password to decrypt the decryption key.

That is how user account unlocking (on GrapheneOS with Pixel phones) is done.

opportunistic TPM integration would be nice.

I.e. use the security chip of the device, if one is found. Otherwise use password.

OR use a Nitrokey etc, which can act as a secure device to store these keys too.

Take that, Windows. You dont need a builtin TPM if you can use a Nitrokey 3 with a secure element, externally.

How to easily send a calendar appointment with Thunderbird?

#Thunderbird #calendar #outlook #gmail

Integrated suites like Outlook or GMail seem to do this easily. I dont see a reason why TB couldnt do this easily too, but I didnt find an option.

I get tons of mails from Outlook users containing a small .ics file with a single appointment.

This is often automated, often with Videocalls.

Thunderbird has a calendar. The auto-detection of these appointments works well, but I could not find how to SEND one.

What I tried:

  • Attach...
  • Insert...
  • on Calendar, right click on an appointment

Neither of these ways allowed me to attach a small .ics file, even though I think I can save an appointment as a .ics file.

Kowloon was built as a small military fort around the turn of the 20th century. When the Chinese and English governments abandoned it after World War II, the area attracted refugees and people in search of affordable housing. With no single architect, the urban center continued to grow as people stacked buildings on top of one another and tucked new structures in between existing ones to accommodate the growing population without expanding beyond the original fort’s border.

With only a small pocket of community space at the center, Kowloon quickly morphed into a labyrinth of shops, services, and apartments connected by narrow stairs and passageways through the buildings. Rather than navigate the city through alleys and streets, residents traversed the structures using slim corridors that always seemed to morph, an experience that caused many to refer to Kowloon as “a living organism.”

This is a quite complex process, and their documentation is incomplete and different 🥳

So here you go!

In the Fedora Forum we collect a lot of useful posts, that are not yet Documentation-ready (or not suited for Docs, as they are "too unofficial".

There are constantly new ones added.

Here is the Youtube video on the topic

The people from uBlue messed something up with the signing, so that updates now dont work.

This is fixable though!


I took the broken updates as the push to move from uBlue kinoite-main to the official Fedora image.

My list of layered packages is now really long, but the chain of trust doesn't involve Github anymore (directly), which was a big concern for me.

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/kinoite:latest

  1. Closed source or open core git forges
  2. Open washing
  3. Discord
  4. Lack of diversity
  5. The FSF

KVM is used on Android, ChromeOS and Google Cloud, so this makes a lot of sense.

OBS can use Pipewire for the mic and desktop sound inputs, but it is not yet packaged on Flathub.

Here is how to add it manually.
