Obligatory post mentioning that Freetube exists on Android as well. With Syncthing, I sync history, playlists and subscriptions. It’s brilliant.

Disconnect it from your network. Hard to serve ads if it can’t contact the servers it is pulling them from.

Are you me? Except I use FreeTube instead of Piped. I am so happy with this solution. Years of discontent of watching services going through the enshittification cycle… everything just becoming so underwhelming. This has given me back freedom over my own media consumption. No ads. No endless scrolling through bullshit content. Just a nicely personally curated selection of movies and TV shows (on Jellyfin) and an ad-free YouTube-experience with sponsorblock and dearrow enabled, and blocking of live chats and shorts.

It seems to have about doubled the number of courses (31 vs. 16). Do any of the new courses seem to fill in some of the stuff you were missing from the previous bundle?

Freetube exists for Android also.

Syncthing is your friend. Freetube stores playlists, history, settings and subscriptions as .db-files which you can sync between devices. Android version also allows access to these files if enabled in settings.

Ok, so something I should have tried immediately is using something other than the Flatpak build. Downloading the executable straight from godotengine.org worked fine.

Would still be good if the Flatpak would work. Should maybe report this here?

I thought I was sure, but I do have it installed it turns out:

$ lspci -k

01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: Tongfang Hongkong Limited GA107M [GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile]
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia
        Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

Removing it would not cause me any trouble?

I’m on Tuxedo OS 3.

Thanks for the link. I tried running that, but it seems to fail loading the noveau-driver (I have the proprietary Nvidia-drivers installed, as far as I know I don’t have noveau installed). Does Godot in some way depend on using noveau, and can I install that alongside the proprietary drivers?

This is the output from running with index 0 (as you can see, I’m using a Flatpak build, if that would make a difference?). Index 1 did not use the Nvidia-card, but rather llmvpipe or something (I’m guessing CPU-emulated card?), and that was extremely slow.

The second block is after loading the project where it switches to Vulkan from OpenGL.

I’ll try the on-demand thing mention in the same post tomorrow, I’ve yet to ever try running that instead of either dGPU completely on or off.

This is my solution also. I listen to audio books on my way to work, and read on an ebook-reader in the evening. Can be tricky to sync when the chapter structure is non-traditional though (e.g. Discworld).

But is it viable? I know very little of browser development, but my impression is that it is a lot of work to develop and keep the browsers secure. If Librewolf separated completely from upstream Firefox, would they be able to keep the browser secure without significantly expanding their team?

I ask in earnest, as I said I know very little about this.

I see many people say to just use forks of Firefox. I use Librewolf myself. However, are such forks not very dependent on upstream Firefox not being completely enshittified? Will it be possible to keep the forks free of all new bullshit, or does that at any point become a too difficult/comprehensive task for the maintainers?

How accurate are these measurements? I don’t know much about Norway, but if there was some massive roll-out of Linux in the governmental sector or their school system, surely there would be posts about it here?

Edit: I’m just having a hard time believing such high numbers without something like that.

Reminds me of the movie Her, where all kinds of heartfelt letters were outsourced to professional agencies.

Nice, need to check out mscp! Thanks for the tip!

If I had a stationary computer running, I would probably keep it running in a terminal window. I could connect a monitor to the server, but I don’t think it will be necessary. I will need to verify the backup before I restore it anyway, and it is not time urgent, so that if something goes wrong I can restart.

But how do you access the files from another app? Where are they stored? I have nothing in the com.nextcloud.client folder for example. Proton Drive mounts in the left-hand menu of Files. Would be nice if that was achievable with Nextcloud also.

EDIT: Turns out it does if there is no app passcode enabled. Not sure I am comfortable having that turned off though.

Not an answer to your question, but a (perhas naive) question itself: are keyloggers impossible on Wayland?

Thanks for taking the time writing this up, it is very helpful for my understanding (and I imagine many others’ as well)! For the things I don’t completely understand for now, this also gives me a lot of additional pointers for what to learn more about to get a better grasp. So it goes straight into my notes for future reference.

Sounds like I should dare to activate my dGPU and reboot to check it out now then :) My biggest worry was that it would be so severely broken that I wouldn’t be able to switch back, but I know that is just an irrational fear - no way Tuxedo would’ve switched to Wayland by default if it broke their own laptops. But I’ve been a little twitchy about larger updates since I deleted KDE accidentally from not properly reading/understanding the prompts during update.

I have a mini-PC from Minisforum (not this one) dedicated as a media computer in my living room. It can fit nicely inside the TV bench, which a regular sized computer wouldn’t do. I like that I can play games like Horizon: Zero Dawn on it without any issue. I love it, and I gave about 800 USD for it.

I am planning getting a high-end rig for my office later (next year maybe?), and then I of course will not consider a mini-PC.

Ah, OK. I wasn’t aware of those APIs, only things like OpenGL and Vulkan, but those are perhaps specific to 3D graphics rendering?

And windows managers in the context of Wayland are the same as Wayland compositors? Which compositor would I be using through KDE Plasma 6?
