In my case I find signal updates (through notification) way too often. I've actually added "Guardian project" repo to F droid specifically for signal auto updates. It comes with few other good apps. (This is generally a day slower than notification update, I just ignore notification for a day)

I've been testing coding capabilities a bit (mostly scripts - so that work done by ai is reproducible).

  1. Context size is very much a required thing along with model capabilities.
  2. Local model can generate good enough script in one shot - but reiterations r crazy
  3. Use git to keep files tracked (easy to revert) and make a modular script - main script calls function a, function b etc where functions are relatively self contained (no need to look at others) when u need new capability add function c
  4. If something need changing- try to do it urself (unless it's whole architectural change, then just start new project)

As for image gen + chat . as long as chat model + context + image model fits, u should be fine.

Bought b70 with egpu enclosure and usb4 connection wasn't really planning to actually run anything but now ended up with llama.cpp with openwebui - kids/parents want to/have to use chat, might as well provide local solution than them using industry options. Also started with ollama and Gemma 4 26b a4b - asked it to write script to setup llama.cpp in container.

Yup. I got so wrapped up in "I need to provide this solution" I forgot to think about terminology.

If you are OK exploring espHome then have a look at "Apollo Automation" devices. https://apolloautomation.com/products/temp-1

Recently found about tramp-mode. I'm trying to use it as primary way to work. My previous workflow was: VNC to VM, open emacs for editing and shell-pop for issuing run commands etc. My shell-pop config is: '(shell-pop-full-span t) '(shell-pop-shell-type '("eshell" "*eshell*" (lambda nil (eshell shell-pop-term-shell)))) '(shell-pop-universal-key "C-t") '(shell-pop-window-position "bottom") '(shell-pop-window-size 30)

With tramp-mode I would like to follow similar approach. I can get shell-pop to come up with ctrl-t and it opens current working directory. However .cshrc related to VM is not loaded and I don't have access to correct VM shell commands / tools.

is there way to source RC file (from VM) before invoking eshell?

This is not necessarily PC building but I don't know where else to ask about it.

I'm looking for printer (office use) without scammy practices by printer companies. I want to connect it to Linux machine and maybe phone line (for fax). Other machines can just send print to connected Linux machine.

Please let me know if there r suggestions.

I want to recommend pop OS but it would be wise to switch to it after there is 24.04 (or later release)

In my personal experience pop os has been absolute rock solid especially with flatpaks However latest stable is quite old (they are working on new desktop environment before upgrade).

Headscale server on cheap vps with tailscale clients.

[–] rando@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Few good things:

  1. They don't have ability to keep logs (even if they wanted)
  2. Their wireguard speeds can keep up with fiber (800mbps with 1gbps fiber)
  3. I've not seen any connection drops.

Downside: No port forwarding, this I've remedied with headscale server and tailscale clients. Port forwarding is needed if u want to access your home network from outside

I currently use finamp (on phone), volumio (for home speakers). I wanted to know if plugin either server side or client side exist which can play songs automatically based on first song played? I want to be able to select a song and play similar songs instead of manually creating playlist and updating them when new content is added.

[EDIT] : very early impressions (using both symfonium and Finamp). Both of them can't jump languages (English, Arabic, Hindi)

I prefer Finamp track mix for Hindi songs (album contains multiple genre and artists). It seems to play similar sounding songs easily.

 

How do I run another DE along with cosmic. I'm running alpha6 and would like to use some apps which don't yet run with cosmic (some steam games)

What is meta name for plasma for e.g. (will it overwrite greeter)

Do I just follow: https://support.system76.com/articles/desktop-environment/

 

I use osmand, however is there a plugin or separate app that uses traffic data or weather data (road closure/accidents).

 

I think remarkable paper pro is still too fragile to buy. I've seen other reports but happened to me as well. Tablet is developing cracks just sitting around. Thankfully it's still functional, but since they don't fix broken screen and refurbished is same price as new, I think I'll just hold off buying new one until next gen or any other device shows up.

Just wanted to rant/share.

 

Right now I create a note "so and so business operates at this address" but is there better way to do this? [Using Streetcomplete]

Has something changed regarding soulseek? I don't seem to get any results for searching. I tried previously searched terms and even those are returning blank. If there is better place to ask question/debug help regarding soulseek, let me know.

[EDIT Solved]: as suggested in comments : some artists are unsearchable

I don't own an EV yet so have a pretty basic question. Do all charging stations need smartphone (app) to use? Can I just drive up to a station and pay to charge? (If yes which network)

USA specific (of others r interested just add international info as well)

I'm not in market for new laptop for another year (half year). However are there any price expectations with tariffs (USA)? (Are there any statements made by framework company?)

[EDIT]: I've decided to get the laptop.

Is it possible? (waze has mp3 files available) - https://github.com/pipeeeeees/waze-voicepack-links

[EDIT] osmand path is : /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/voice/en

Going to try replacing some of those files, as long as purpose matches. I'll update this thread.

 

I would like to control few functions while driving. navigation (osmand), play music (multiple apps) are main ones. As of now I think either voice assistant or car UI are 2 options. So are there any apps supporting these?
