Any way to get notifications sooner?
  • Yea, I know, I use it myself. My point is that it is no longer degoogled once you regoogle it.

  • Any way to get notifications sooner?
  • How is that an exception? Sure, it is sandboxed, but I really do not consider that "degoogled".

  • Any way to get notifications sooner?
  • Honestly, no. Whenever I see late notifications its usually on a degoogled phone, so this was just my first guess. Good luck!

  • Any way to get notifications sooner?
  • In that case, is Google Play Services allowed to run in the background / unrestricted / whatever? It is the means to delivering notifications for most apps.

  • Any way to get notifications sooner?
  • Do you use Google Play Services or is that a deGoogled Android 13?

  • Help remembering a network application
  • If your use-case is monitoring packets, why not go for an app made for that, such as Wireshark?

  • Transparent compression layer on Linux?
  • What is the format of these videos? Im afraid you wont get much compression out of conventional file compressors, as video files are usually already compressed to the point where you would have to reencode them to get a smaller file.

  • Don't google 'solar flare'
  • I just looked it up on Wikipedia.

    The extreme ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from solar flares is absorbed by the daylight side of Earth's upper atmosphere, in particular the ionosphere, and does not reach the surface.

    What else should I know?

  • CWD
  • Wdym too late? Is there something you could have done if you knew "soon enough"?

  • Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)
  • The solution was to navigate to the mountpoint instead of the device.

  • Heroic Games Launcher not finding other drives (solved)
  • The drive with the game files is mounted.

    Where is it mounted? Try navigating to that mountpoint, not to the device itself.

  • Minecraft Seed Finder…
  • Most seed finding is done by the Minecraft@Home community by very technical people using very specific parts of what they can tell about a world, such as the exact position and type of certain trees. I dont think its possible to do that from what someone remembers, as there would be billions of seeds matching that even if it were computationally doable.

  • Could a uniform interface (like the command line) ever exist for smartphones? What could it look like?
  • I’d be happy with a smartphone equivalent where the differences are similar to command line tools having different syntax.

    My point was that I think we have that already. The medium is a touch screen, and apps have over time adapted to that the same way they have to the terminal. Here we scroll by swiping up and down, move between tabs by swiping to the side, etc. All held together by system-wide gesture navigation. And yea, every app does stuff differently, and so does every terminal one.

    This only furthers my point, that things could be even better using the same principles, without legacy baggage.

    I feel like this is exactly what Google was attempting to do with Material Design: a good, consistent interface / design language. It really was a fairly fresh start using what we learned from the smartphone apps that came before, with the design done intentionally. What do you think they missed?

    Another thing to keep in mind is that the terminal is built around text and files, while the GUI is not. You cant expect every problem to be cleanly / ergonomically solve-able inside an Android app, just like you cant expect a good Snapchat / Instagram client in your terminal. There are file manager apps, there are text editors, there are todo lists, but the terminal is just a better platform for some tasks while worse for others.

  • Could a uniform interface (like the command line) ever exist for smartphones? What could it look like?
  • Well, the fact they emit objects doesn't really help that much with the user interface. This just means that the standard input and output of commands is (usually) more unified and parse-able. I really like the idea, and have seen multiple attempts at it including PowerShell, however none have reached the level of usability that the good old *NIX shells provide.

    Id love to see an open source attempt at it

    Here you go!

  • Could a uniform interface (like the command line) ever exist for smartphones? What could it look like?
  • I really don't think that the command line is a uniform interface. Every command has its own syntax, its own take on what its switches mean, its own take on regexes/globs and so on. Moving and editing files is something completely different: one is a simple command to move a file elsewhere, the other is a whole experience which replaces the command line with something that looks completely different and is controlled completely differently. What they do have in common is just the medium - the terminal.

    Many developers of command line tools try to at least keep a similar design language as the rest of the world, but it is far from perfect. A lot of these interfaces are like they are for mostly historical reasons without proper planning of the user interface, so imho even something like Material Design is already closer to being the "same interface" in the GUI world than the various command line interfaces are.

    we can’t simply reuse the command line

    We absolutely can and some of us do. I often manage my files, todo list, etc. in Termux. Its not always the best thing to do, but I like that I can keep a consistent interface no matter what device I am using. Its still the same terminal, just on a smaller screen with a worse keyboard.

  • UDP Tunneling solution recommendations
  • Im not sure how difficult it is to setup a Tailscale client, honestly.

    The Zerotier setup is just installing and joining a network by an id. The Windows version has a bit of a GUI, where you have to right-click on a status bar icon, click Join network, paste in the id and join. The Linux version of the client has a cli, which is imho even better, as you can just send them a whole command to copy into the terminal.

    I admin a Zerotier network for a bunch of kids that wanna play Minecraft, and they havent had many problems setting up.

    There is a bunch of information on self-hosting the whole system, but Ive honestly never tried any of that. It was just nice that this was "just the open-source LogMeIn Hamachi with a superior implementation of everything".

  • UDP Tunneling solution recommendations
  • Can confirm, very easy to setup clients. And since its not a VPN but a VLAN, you wont run into problems connecting between different clients.

    This is pretty much open-source Hamachi.

  • They are the same.
  • Do they have neurotoxin? Bet they have neurotoxin.

  • anyone for a tasty *bavourarge*
  • Which LLM is that?
