This app is everything it needs to be. It looks modern, has nice visuals, I was able to import data from an old tracking app.

It’s such a nice feeling when you find an app that hits all the checkmarks and then you find out it’s FOSS as well.

This is the first I’m hearing of Ladybird. Looks really interesting and glad to see there are more options for browsers coming

Linusk

I found the opposite with Gnome which is why I switched over to KDE.

And that’s the beauty, we are free to choose. I’m glad Gnome works well for you.

Same as :wq and :x

Saves and quits.

Or ZZ

Yeah, it’s brutal

I do not experience this on a Pixel 6a running stock android 14

Thank you for pointing that out. I knew Firefox had updated to enable desktop add-ons to work with mobile but I didn’t see Sponsor Block when I took a quick look.

For those that don’t know, you can use three numbers, zero through eight, with the chmod command. it takes the binary of each digit to set the permissions.

$ chmod 644
 6  |  4  |  4
110 | 100 | 100
rw- | r-- | r--

You can also make this the default behaviour as you start typing a command.

Create ~/.inputrc and add these lines:

$include /etc/inputrc

## arrow up
"\e[A":history-search-backward
## arrow down
"\e[B":history-search-forward```

For actually getting torrents loaded into the client software, there’s basically no difference. They both contain the information needed to start downloading the content.

A torrent file just has the information needed to start the download, kind of like a text file.

A magnet link is similar to any other link, like http://example.com/SomeFile.torrent. They’re a bit more complicated because the website example.com might remove or change the location of SomeFile.torrent and then any of the existing links won’t work. Magnet links aren’t affected by that sort of thing. I say this with the caveat that I honestly don’t really know or understand them fully because, like I first said, it doesn’t really matter.

I can’t speak for the Windows side as I’m one of those Linux users. But the ones I mentioned are ones I know off the top of my head because I see them mentioned often.

• Transmission
• qBittorrent
• Deluge
• Tixati

Yes, thank you. I was going to explain that as well but asl owanted to keep it as basic and simple as possible. Honestly, I can’t recall the last time I actually alsaved and opened a torrent file, I’ve always used magnet links.

If your computer doesn’t automatically open a magnet link when you click on it (usually you’ll just see a 🧲 that you can click on), you should be able to right click that icon to copy the link. Often the client will have an option to enter the magnet link when you select File>Open.

I good example that’s completely legal is Linux distributions. They are licensed in a way that lets you share the file with other people so there is no risk of illegal activity.

You need torrent software installed that can speak the language of the torrenting protocol. Examples would be QBitTorrent, Transmission, and uTorrent, but there are others as well.

For the general process, you would download and install torrenting software, then you would go to a page that has torrent files (like this Ubuntu page), save the .torrent file and then from the software open that file, this will begin the download. Once it’s done, you have a full copy of the files on your computer.

The only thing unique about torrents is that you are downloading parts of the file from a bunch of other people that have a copy, instead of downloading the whole file from just one single server.

I have no personal experience with it but I see Nobara mentioned often, especially in regards to the Microsoft Surface Tablets. Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in on it.

F-Stop adds an XMP tag imbedded into the image file. I’m going to assume Aves does the same but I haven’t used it much yet to know.

I would love to be able to find an image service (like PhotoPrism) I can run on my server that can read the tags that I like to use (Date/time, geo location, title/descriptions, and faces). I want that info in the image file itself so that I can easily switch to another service if needed.

I’m still trying to find a way to make back-up copies of the original and then tag/organize photos to be used with a self-hosted viewer, whatever it may be.

FlorisBoard for several months now. It has no text prediction

The good news is that feature is currently in development. There’s a beta build on GitHub that has it sort of implemented. There’s some details on the FlorisBoard matrix channel on getting it.

M.A.L.P., for when I’m playing music on the house system

Do you mind explaining your setup a bit more? I’ve currently got a few Sonos speakers but I don’t like being locked into their system and have always been interested in a more open setup.

I’ve seen Snapchat and I know of MPD (but don’t fully understand it, to be honest) but it seems there isn’t much information about these types of setups.

I was using F-stop previously for the map feature and the ability to add descriptions to the photos (I love having notes on the photos but hate being locked into a specific app like Google Photos).

Aves has a much nicer UI and can edit the geotag information, too. Glad I found this.

It fully depends on the area. My city has only a few hardcore mappers, but that’s all it takes to make it really detailed.
