The thing is now a days smartphones are separated by only software. Pixels are a good example. They can give the camera tech to older devices but chose not to. Almost everything that can be achieved through s/w can be cross platform too, only if manufactures don't put virtual separation.

Almost every distro can be operated with a mouse and keyboard. If you want to disable touch screen you have to look into that. Some articles might be there on arch wiki.

Big corporates vs smol hackers.

There is an app called Rethink DNS for android. It is a DNS filter by Mozilla guys. It can also show the DNS queries generated through the system. One can block certain apps, exclude certain app from DNS filtering. It has wireguard support, that means can route certain apps through proxy. It has to be the bast app I ever downloaded. Please can you make something like this for Linux.

If anyone knows an existing alternative please comment. (On arch based distro.)

Bit underpowered I think. Could have been better with 7 gen 2.

Look I2P. Don't know for sure. But read somewhere that it can be used for privacy.

YSK there are plenty of other fishes in the water.

That's the main reason why I put forward a suggestion. Used a S series phone for about a year. The OneUI is really bloated.

I seed because I am lazy to remove media.

They have Godella and Silla separated.

The chip is the obvious problem here. Samsung's manufacturing is thermally inferior to something like snapdragon. Let's see what 2025 pixel can do after switching to tsmc.

Application icons in taskbar messed up after Gnome 46 update ( discuss.tchncs.de )

Applications like EndeavorOS Welcome, Tor browser won't show their actual icons on the taskbar after Gnome 46 update. I have observed that applications launched by invoking the binary through terminal using ./ behaves this way. (Not sure about the EOS Welcome) Is there any fix to this?...

cmgvd3lw OP ,

created a new user, and tested under it, but its the same.

cmgvd3lw OP ,

Endeavour OS. Unfortunately I cannot rollback, not using btrfs (using LUKS). Anyeay I dont have a previous snapshot.

cmgvd3lw OP ,

But it was working fine until gnome 45. I tried multiple icons packs quogir, adwaita (default), papirus. Everything behaves the same. The same cog icon.

cmgvd3lw OP ,

I have to check in the journalctl right?

cmgvd3lw ,

Is this the official design? Looks like One M8. Great if true.

cmgvd3lw ,

Cool design and good spec for the pricing. But the software privacy and support is to be tested.

What is Izzydroid and why is it considered bad?

cmgvd3lw ,

Hey what type of URL matching do you use for achieving this? BW suggest me all the entries for a domain and doesn't differentiate sub domains.

cmgvd3lw OP , (edited )

You mean hit my selfhosted fronted from multiple IPs? I could do that, but after analysing my usage pattern they could fingerprint me.

cmgvd3lw OP , (edited )

Thanks for the long reply. I will start out my self hosting journey with some simple applications like silver bullet or something. Then after gaining more info, will try to host something for the public

[Please give some suggestions for simple selfhostable applications]

cmgvd3lw OP ,

The aim of private frontends are to limit the data being sent to their actual counterparts (eg Redlib for redddit or piped for y.t). This includes mapping usage patterns to respective IP addresses. If I am the sole user of a self hosted service, then cloud providers and big corps could easily do that.

But the gesture support is bad with custom launchers.

For just local gallery purposes you can use Fossify Gallery (it's on Fdroid). For cloud storage, you can use Ente Photos (also on Fdroid).

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!
