Because especially for very low profile systems its more than enough, so you dont need to use something like vim or nvim.

What do computers have to do with it anyway?

Great, thanks

It is not for me personally, but for a person who wants a gui. And a Touch screen. Also I need an on Screen Keyboard because he also does not want to use a keyboard or mouse.

I tried using a very simple compositor like cage to just start shortwave, but I couldnt get my Keyboard to work since it needs gnome accessibility runtime to automatically show when clicking a text field.

And also xfce is more than light enough not to take up more than 1-2 secs of the total boot time

The flatpak thing was just the jellyfin-media-player so I can play my music from jellyfin too, but I guess ill just set up DLNA so I can stream to the device from my Phone

Yes, I personally use flatpak because I want a reliable way to update packages that are not in the native repositories. Still, I would love if it would be like snaps in the sense that I can use the native libraries and only install the app as flatpak.

Its just really frustrating to have to install the whole fricking gnome desktop again just so some flatpak can use it

Void Linux is the Definition of „lacks a few packages”

Sort of, actually

I was trying to build a PC just to play internet radio on using Shortwave, and a 30€ thin client with 4 1,5Ghz cores and no active cooling, 4 gigs of ram and an 8gb ssd were more than enough for that

where you you even get an 8gb ssd

I bought a Fujitsu thin client for 30€, and I decided to spend the 5€ extra to get one with a drive (making it 30€ total.

why would you use one outside of some specialized embedded application that shouldn’t even have a desktop interface?

1. I have way too much free time

2. I have no money

3. Originally it should only have been a minimal void Linux install so it can connect to my local server via RDP. But I just realised that that futro s920 with 4 1,5ghz cores is actually way faster and more reliable than my 4th gen Intel i5 will ever be

and even then why not something lighter than kde or gnome

I ssh’d into the PC. It runs xfce4, and it is just made to display shortwave (an Internet radio player) in full screen on a cashier terminal screen that I ripped from the terminal assembly. I just needed the cheapest thing to run shortwave on so my father has an Internet radio, since the other 2 options were

• buy a big ass Antenna for his normal radio, or

• buy a used Internet radio for 200€ (this way it only cost about 90€), wait until its Server is shut down, and then somehow with a mix of wireshark, dns logging, and pure luck somehow locally rerout the domain that the radio tries to connects to, figure out what kind of json file I need to host on my local server in order to make it refresh it’s database of Radios, and maintain these IPs forever.

also, please note, the image is in no way connected to this project, it just reminded me of it

Its a Fujitsu futro s920, got it off ebay

Why would you waste your energy and manage something yourself when they collect your data anyway?

1. Install koreader or Pluto (or just install both)

2. enable calibres Server Funktionality

3. connect to Server with plugin

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

OK, but why is it a for profit company in the first place?

And why does open source Software like xz, ffmpeg, etc still work without being for profit?

Fucking liberal.

Google is automatically installing an app on you phone that analyzes your media „to prevent you accidentally viewing nudes”

Step 1: Check is Calyx or Graphene is Availible

Step 2: If not, Pour Ethanol on it and watch it burn and buy a pixel (or a fairphone) with Graphene Pre-installed. There are lots of Monero Shops which do that

I really dont understand why people care so much about people stalking them, but if some company is stalking them it dosent matter.

It is still possible. Its called swap

Another one of these cheap Simulators. Its almost like all of them just use the same Framework for the game (buying stuff, placing down objects, etc) and just change the Assets to whatever fits.

I have no problem with tycoon games, but for Petes sake just call it a $thing themed tycoon game and not a simulator

Thanks

So, I cant watch the video right now

Is this like a shitpost, or one of these Clickbait Videos where someone tries to download linux and they just tripped some captcha system, so now they clickbait that to infinity?

It dosent really happen often enough to really affect my life (I can get used to hearing my name said sometimes by the air around me and people looking at me when they are laughing and that basic shit I have every day), so its really just about these moments when I go full out. Also, others can see symptoms of me starting to behave less normal, so isn’t it just possible to like take some pills that calm you down until I start feeling better?

To be honest, I’m pretty sure the hearing my name being said thing is just my bad hearing, and people laughing at me could just be my anxiety, so it may just be normal paranoia that I have that just builds up until I release it all on 1 person
