That bug report is from May last year, is it really about the same bug ?

This one is recent https://forum.manjaro.org/t/bluetooth-connection-leads-to-gnome-crash/184614 and as a work-around downgrading wireplumber is suggested.

It could be a quirk of Acer indeed.

A propos, the advanced option of the Grub menu with Linux Mint will just show all the kernel boot options. For example, if you already have three or four older kernel versions you can choose among the older ones in case the new kernel would be causing problems. With a fresh install you would have only one kernel and its recovery boot option.

This person blogged about it and offers two ways of making it work https://www.dongdongbh.tech/setup-hp-1020-priter-on-linux The second method doesn't need a GUI it seems, and for the first method you could use VNC, or ssh -X, to have the pi's desktop on your computer for the hplip GUI.

The openprinting page has another thing to say about it : https://openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1020


The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0".

Before that I used Gajim but had to compile it myself and sometimes issues with plugins. Maybe it’s as easy as Dino nowadays.

I've used Gajim last week for testing and installing it with Flatpak was easy. And I think I remember that for OMEMO no extra plugins were needed with Gajim.

If you do not want to (completely) self-host but do want freedom with your custom domain then Migadu is a superb choice, it's like heaven/nirvana/paradise πŸŽ‡ for email admins πŸ˜€ https://migadu.com/

And you can technically still do some sort of part-time self host. The very difficult part of self-hosting email these days is the sending part (and the big and smaller tech bros rejecting your emails), not the receiving part. So if you want to learn, you can self host the receiving part, store your email at home or on some rented server and then use Migadu to send your emails out. Migadu has a feature called MX proxy which can be used for this part-time self hosting take.

What you can do is pretend to reinstall (--reinstall), download only (-d), for example for xfce4 meta package :

sudo apt-get -d install --reinstall xfce4

Then stop it after it shows you which packages it is about and copy and paste all the packages it mentions in a simple file (myfile) and execute that.

For Gnome it could be like this (leaving out a lot of packages to make the example fit on one line) :


sudo apt-get remove --purge baobab chrome-gnome-shell folks-common fonts-cantarell gdm3

As you can see do note which display manager you're currently using. Executing the file you made can be done with :

bash ./myfile

The irony 🫠

During the Covid-19 pandemic I was very happy to use Conversations for video calls. Quality seemed better than with Signal during that time, and with Conversations you could resize the video window if you needed to do something on your phone during the call. I was not sure Signal could do that in these days. I also like Dino IM on the desktop but lately I don't have any other people I know who can be bothered to use XMPP over Signal or email.

There's a Dino fork https://dinox.handwerker.jetzt/ I'm not sure what to think about it, it looks too fancy and I dislike the Most secure part but it claims to do calls better than the original Dino IM.

Another way to try to fix dependency problems, including complicated ones that apt cannot solve, is to use the magnificent aptitude deb helper. If you have aptitude not installed you can possibly still install it with dpkg. Download aptitude deb file and the aptitude-common deb file and save them to disk. For example for Debian : https://packages.debian.org/trixie/aptitude With dpkg it is in dependency problems situations still possible to install new software. Maybe dpkg --force-all or something like that is needed.

Make sure to make backups of your valuable things first via a Linux live session.

After you have aptitude installed, try e.g. :

sudo aptitude update

or

sudo aptitude install ncdu (or install some other small program you didn't have installed already)

It may already show a suggestion solution.

The announcement reply in the (from original developers rejected) Feature Request issue: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/4447#issuecomment-3697918113

And the repository: https://github.com/D3SOX/FreeTube

And for Arch users in the AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freetube-git-d3sox

There is a new fork of FreeTube that implements a (at least by me) long wished feature: Save video playback speed setting for each channel separately. He plans to do a Flatpak version maybe and its already in the AUR.

I personally have trust issues to run unknown forks and rely on them, for security and other reasons. So for now I won't use it unfortunately. But maybe someone else is interested.

TL;DR

I booted Debian Linux on a 4-bit intel microprocessor from 1971 - the first microprocessor in the world - the 4004. It is not fast, but it is a real Linux kernel with a Debian rootfs on a real board whose only CPU is a real intel 4004 from the 1970s. The video is sped up at variable rates to demonstrate this without boring you. The clock and calendar in the video are accurate. A constant-rate video is linked below.

F-Droid core

It’s no secret that F-Droid continues to live and thrive thanks in part to you, the users that donate, but also in part thanks to different grants we’ve received along these 14 years of existence. Our recent post covered the endangered NGI program and its importance.

The Guardian Project has been a long time supporter of F-Droid, pouring in not only grant money but also human resources. They are now looking for a part-time Grant Administrator so if you find the list of their achievements tempting and your skills match the bullet points, don’t be shy and get in contact. Who knows, maybe you can be featured here next. πŸ˜›

Back in May we’ve highlighted the work contributors around F-Droid have done in order to shine a light onto the app downloads stats. The Divested (thanks!) hosted page just got an update, covering the weeks since then: https://divestos.org/pages/fdroid_stats

/PS: if you are involved with the project(s) that download Termux packages 300.000 times per week, two advices: first, do get in contact with us because we’re curious about your work, and second please try to setup a round robin script of sorts that downloads from mirrors instead since we have plenty of those and it’s not in anyone’s benefit that you download 25-30Tb of data from our servers each and every week. 😐

But as I and others looked closer, and thought about it more deeply, things became concerning.

These logs include:

Your precise GPS locations (which are also sent to their servers).
Your WiFi network name.
The IDs of nearby cell towers (even with no SIM card inserted, also sent to their servers).
Your internet-facing IP address.
The user token used by the device to authenticate with Rabbit's back-end API.
Base64-encoded MP3s of everything the Rabbit has ever spoken to you (and the text transcript thereof).
