User replaceable batteries are a part of the new battery directive and will be in force from sometime in 2027 if I recall correctly.

I am perfectly happy with Konsole, and sleep well despite perhaps missing out on features I don’t know about.

Are you talking about baloo, the file indexer?

I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.

ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn’t want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.

They can’t really say no to a free app

A co-worker was told (verbatim) by the head of IT that " we don’t use open source". So yeah…

tl;dr: Gradual exposure over time.

I got used to it through work, as I had to ssh into a server to run simulations. That mainly involved navigating the file system and text editing (which I used vim for) to make some basic Python and bash scripts, including sed and awk. The latter two I never got comfortable using, and haven’t really touched since.

I was using macOS at the time, and after using that for work, the terminal in macOS got at first less scary and then a preferred way of accomplishing certain tasks. On my work Windows computer I started missing having a proper terminal around, and I eventually found Cygwin and later Git Bash to give me that terminal fix in Windows as well. Especially with the latter I noticed few differences and could use it to a large extent as I would have on my then Macbook.

2-3 years ago I was in need of a new computer, and at that point a laptop with Linux on it was not a very scary prospect. That is by no way saying I went into Linux as an expert, far from it, and I am still very much a newbie - but opening the terminal to work with things is not at all a barrier, which helps a lot if you use Linux and want to be able to do some changes from the defaults. If you don’t want that, I think you can go far these days without opening the terminal, but it is certainly a good skill to have.

And this has actually happened before?

And apart from an undesirable bandwidth usage resulting from someone guessing their way to my file structure, how can this be used to compromise my server?

I’m not overly concerned about my instance running behind a reverse proxy. Perhaps I am just naive…

Why would they need to connect to a VPN every time they connect to Jellyfin?

I don’t see the difference

I consider storing articles more as building a starting-point for research, rather than something I definitely think I will read at some point. I store by topic that is of interest to me, and when I want to do a deep-dive, I already have a bunch of articles waiting for me.

I use Zotero for this. Used to use it as purely a reference manager for scientific papers, but started storing all kinds of stuff for archiving or later reading. My workflow is getting all news/articles I might want to read from RSS, and add to Zotero what I want to keep.

With the browser plugin you can store snapshots as well, so you can preserve it if it changes or is taken down. Not sure how a mobile experience would be as I only filter RSS-items on my phone, but no reading.

You can use file sync through a paid subscription or use youe own WebDAV server for it (I will be moving to this). Other than that, it is a database and folder with files, so you can probably use SyncThing or store it directly in Nextcloud also I would think.

I am a folder-person, but it also supports tags so you have flexibility in how you organize.

Hey! It works now :) After opening it up, I ended up cleaning the nozzles by pumping isopropanol through them (filled a syringe with it, removed the dummy cartridges and connected the syringe and nozzles with a PVC-tube). After that I ran the nozzle cleaning program through the epson-printer-utility tool a couple of times (not the power cleaning), and then printed some full color pages of CMYK.

The program, which initially this post was about (hence the Linix community) worked once I realized it didn’t pick it up while I was connected with VPN. Then scanning tool does, not sure how this tool atrempts to find the printer that it is not caught by the default split tunneling set up by Proton VPN.

Therefore, the only thing it is changing based on regional settings is the use of the comma or period to denote a decimal.

Also I don’t see how from this post the decimal point is wrong. Sure it is simplified to one decimal place, but again many calculators do this.

It uses a comma instead of a punctuation mark as the decimal point. Default numbers formatting on my system uses a punctuation mark. In other words, it is ignoring my system settings for what numbers should look like.

I could be wrong considering I had a bit of trouble understanding the post. I just bring this up because in American English there are no delimiters for thousands place or above either.

In that case I would expect it to output the numbers without the delimiter. But I have not set the number formatting to American English.

I have had a Tuxedo InfinityBook 14 Gen7, and I’ve been happy with it. They focus on hardware that has a good compatibility with Linux, so it works well out of the box without any tinkering. You say you don’t have a high budget though, so these might be too expensive (I believe you can get similar specs at a lower price), but I’ve also been very satisfied with the after sales service they have provided - I’ve had some issues with it since I got it, but if it was Tuxedo specific (or appeared to me to be Tuxedo specific), and thus not easy to find general troubleshooting help online, I contacted them and I was helped out promptly, both via e-mail and the phone.

Yeah, me too. It is quick and easy. I use SyncThing for things I want to keep synced.

I run CalyxOS on FP4, and I like it. It also has FP5 support. As far as I know, mobile Linux distros like postmarketOS work on (at least) FP4, but key phone functionality is lacking. There’s a functionality matrix on their wiki.

That sounds awesome
