  • Best apps for private messaging

  • Interesting discussion, the opinions go both ways but the official ones seem to disregard some facts and base the decision on some arbitrary ones that were not listed in OPs linked article, which I find quite biased or at least untransparent.

  • You could have guessed from the context that it is another privacy focused messenger app

  • And no mention of threema even though it fulfills all their listed criteria

  • Can’t get OpenSUSE KDE Plasma to work with 4k TV

    Jump

  • to me that smells like what I said in the other comment:

    Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)

    I feel like, if a cable is high quality and up to spec, it will work with wayland. But if the signal integrity is below spec, wayland might fall back to slower signaling while x11 is more lax and ignores the issue and so a worse cable still works even if unnoticably below spec quality. Or the 4k over hdmi 1.3 is some hack that x11 supports and wayland doesn't because it's out of spec.

    But thats just a feeling. May be wrong.

    Thanks for reporting back with your findings!

    Can't plausibly blame em if they solve the efficiency issue

  • Now imagine solving that and becoming 25% more efficient, but still getting the same wage. (historically, the leadership rakes in all the profits without sharing when efficiency increases)

  • Help learning low-level dev

    Jump

  • I'm not actually working in the field, so I can't give you any advice there.

    I studied a related topic, before pivoting into a different career. And I do hardware and drivers stuff in my free time sometimes for some fun projects.

  • Help learning low-level dev

  • Get one of those learning kits that come with most of SBC/MCUs (like raspberry pi or ESP32) which have a lot of random stuff (like LEDs, motors etc.) that you can hook up to the pins and write C programs to control them. Learn the different protocols that are used to talk to other devices, like i2c, uart, spi etc. and then buy some hardware that you can talk to via this protocol. Like a sensor, a gps module or an IMU or EEPROM.

    It's conceptually pretty similar to how computers and device drivers do it. There is some communication protocol and you can write or read some values over it to use any device. It's just way easier to start small and build up experience from there.

  • What distro btw?

  • 💞 FairScan > Syncthing > Paperlees-ngx

    Jump

  • afaik you just listed features that the printer I mentioned (or if I am wrong, other similar printers) supports

    it's my bad for not mentioning all possible workflows, I was just a bit lazy and thinking of my personal documents only, which do not work well with further smart automation, because my batches are highly irregular. So the more manual approach is the best for me currently. Maybe possible with some future AI integration.

  • Epson WorkForce DS‑730N

    put 100 sheets on the tray, it scans them all and either puts them all into a single pdf or multiple pdfs. Then you split / merge them in software.

  • You could buy an automatic scanner that takes a stack of docs and dumps the files to a network share.

    Jump

  • Thats very interesting.

    Do you maybe know if your gnome system was using x11 and your kde one is using wayland? Wayland might be a bit stricter when it comes to following specs and not implementing hacky workarounds. (or it could always be a bug)

    Oh and if you do try out other cables, give us an update. I'm curious if it will work.

  • Can’t get OpenSUSE KDE Plasma to work with 4k TV

    Jump

  • The stuff you describe sounds like a cable timing issue. Not something you can fix in Linux. Think of it like the two devices trying to talk to each other on different frequencies and picking the highest res one that works. (so thats why they might get stuck on a random smaller one)

    I had some examples like that in the past where some low quality or very long cables couldn't reach it's spec, even fresh out of the box, even on windows.

    Oh, also I am pretty sure HDMI 1.3 does not do 4k at all. Either 1080 or 1440p was the spec limit.

    If you can space the money for an experiment try an active DP 1.2 → HDMI 2.0 cable/adapter.

    Maybe something like https://www.delock.com/produkt/85956/merkmale.html or Digitus branded. Depending on what known good cable manufacturer is available in your area.

  • Some questions about distro-hopping

    Jump

  • You can mostly just copy your home partition/dir with something like rsync.

    Step by step:

    1. Install new distro, in the installer make sure to use the same username (otherwise there is some extra work involved but still doable)
    2. start up new distro to make sure it works
    3. reboot into old distro or into live linux
    4. use rsync to copy olddistro/home/user to newdistro/home/user (you have to think about whether it makes sense to overwrite all files or if there is maybe some special exception somehow. Like there may be some idiomatic bashrc on one distro that does not work well with the other)

    (I've done that multiple times now and there is some minor fixing involved sometimes, like with the bashrc example, but otherwise it's super easy. If you ever get stuck just hit me up and I can hop on a Rustdesk/discord/whatever support session)

    Maybe syspatch, maybe vienna, some other city, idk. it's up to you tbh.

  • for me even typing "sudo pacman -Syu" is masochism compared to just pressing the "Update" button in the gui package manager.
