betterbird tray solution doesn't work on wayland, given a bug on common code (affects both, Firefox, Thunderbird and derivatives). Just in case that's one of the motivations of using betterbird. That by the way was the only feature that really made me look at betterbird, and as it didn't work, I went back to TB. And if you're wondering, birdtray doesn't work on wayland, 😑.

Thunderbird is working on enabling exchange, and meanwhile you can combine it with TBSync plus its provider for exchange AcriveSync extensions. And given TB hadn't care so far about tray, to at least avoid TB dying by mistake, you can also add Minimize on Close extension. Mail would still be IMap, so it'll work as long as the outlook provider enables IMap support, but for the company I work it's enabled. But such support is coming up on TB. Not sure if its solution would be 100% open source, but I hope it is, otherwise, I'm not sure if everyone will want to have a blob proprietary binary inside TB...

Fortunately there's still Artix GNU+Linux :)

There are several patches under its patches source directory, and there are different sort of packages, one example is the sed patch to avoid including pocket in the build. The DRM widevine is not included either on the build, though it can be installed if you want it installed (probably there's a patch for that somewhere).

But I no longer see removing binary blobs being advertised by Librewolf, it's been a while since I don't check on their site...

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Not true, FF comes with few binary blobs which are removed from Librewolf. Also there are some things disabled entirely at build time, so they are removed from being an option. So it's not just the settings, and it's not plain re-branding. Some distros has gotten it wrong, believing that it's just a matter of settings, but at least on the case of Librewolf and the Tor browser that's not the case.

That hey depend on FF continuous development to exist is true, that doesn't mean they just rebrand.

Yes SMGL is still active. You can try joining one of their channels. There are still people looking for source based distros, not sure while Gentoo is the only thing that pops up for them. I used it for some time, and it's fantastic. Sadly having to build stuff takes too much time, particularly on old, and not performance oriented HW. They had support for binaries, and actually include a binaries grimoire, so you could install binaries that used to take too much time, like Firefox for example. Still it takes too much to keep a source based distro. And if you go all the way, then when changing parts of the building toolchain, like gcc, the recommendation was to build everything so that everything would be built with the more up to date toolchain, that was cool, since SMGL has tools for it, but those fancy stuff take as well a lot of time. There I learned 1st about ccache, hahaha.

Sooo fun, :)

Haven't tried halloy, but it sounds cool, I wish rust build with shared libs in mind, instead of everything link statically, but it sounds interesting, I'll see how it is compared to srain which is my current choice...

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

srain, becuase of being modern gtk, because of being light on dependencies, because of being available on aur, and because I'd like it more (yes there are several things that are also a matter of taste) than the alternatives, :)

why toxic? Or better yet, define toxic.

mozilla private derivatives such as librewolf on the desktop and mull on android I just fine. So FF keeps being relevant as not being a derivative from chromium/chrome, it can remain apart from google disabling adds removing extensions.

So yes, FF is food to thrive, and so its derivatives will...

I has improved quite a bit. The phone app still requires navigating over its settings to get less battery consumption, and having ntfy or any other unifiedPush notification provider available in the phone. But with the default configs, you get Jami working at least. I tried it before, and I found before synchronization between devices was a mess. Currently it just works. I still find it hard on immediate/urgent calls or messages, which might not happen when you expect, but other than that it's working.

On the desktop, the default configs are pretty sane.

And the best part, it's being actively developed. And the UI is undergoing through lots of improvements. So if usability is your concern, it's getting better, and each release improves over the prior one...

Hello, [email protected] was locked by my mods, and continued on [email protected] which is entirely fine given federation, so I guessed I could follow it on the lemmy sort of synced space/community, [email protected], where I can post to the slrpnk community without having an account there. But for some reason recent posts on slrpnk real xmpp community are not showing on [email protected], like if they're not syncing anymore.

Any way to remediate it?

Hi !

As I have account on lemmy.ml, I look into the lemmy community created on slrpnk.net through the federated lemmy community, but its contents don't match the ones on the original slrpnk community. There are some messages missing.

Not sure if this is something someone would care, but I was planning to look at the contents through the lemmy instance, where I do have my account...

Greetings !

I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...

Hey !

On LOS 21, the app DeviceLockController is there, but it can't be stopped neither disable, at least from my side.

There's another one I don't trust, Android System Intelligence, but I could stop it and disable it.

Those two apps really are scary to be part of LOS. Is anyone aware of bugs on LOS about getting rid of them?

How about DeviceLockController? A reasonable way to disable it without risking too much bricking the phone in the process?

Thanks !

I'm not self hosting, so I'm depending on what the server admin enables, and the policies they establish.

That said, the server fully supports xep-0313, which perhaps among other things control messages being kept on the server precisely for the purpose of sending them to all registered devices, thus allowing the sync.

But perhaps there's a policy in place removing the messages from the server as soon as some device has gotten it, leaving only online devices with the ability to grab them. I don't know if that's possible...

I experimented getting a device offline for a couple of minutes, and then exchanged messages with another account, and also to my same account. Then eventually I got the device offline, and none of the messages, not even the ones sent to myself, were ever synced on the device just coming online...

This is really sad, since that's precisely one of the benefits of having servers over peer to peer solutions, it's easier to sync devices through the server.

Might this be some sort of policy to keep disk usage on the server low?

I might need to explore some other server if that's the case...

Thanks !

Edit: Communicated with the admin, and they mentioned this was unexpected.

Just wondering, as the reasons to move here are gone, can the community go back to lemmy.ml? There are quite some posts over lemmy.ml, so going back there would be useful I believe, and also moving the few posts here over there would be just great (perhaps not the comments)...

Just an honest question, not to provoke flame wars or anything like it...

Greetings !

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/12692350

Anyone aware of a conversations fork with support for unified push notifications? Or a similar xmpp android app with omemo (just the same as conversations' support) and unified push notifications support, available through the official f-droid repor or a f-droid repo if not available from the official ones?

BTW, I noticed [email protected] community was locked. Any particular reason for that?

Also, Converstions requests to set unrestricted use of battery, to use battery under background without restrictions. So it seems unified push notifications would help, though this github issue sort of indicates unified push notifications wouldn't help, so it just tells me there's no intention to include support for it on Conversations, but not that it wouldn't help save battery.

https://disroot.org provides several decentralized federated services, as email and xmpp, besides other cloud services as well... But not sure if asking here is right or not, but don't know anywhere to ask either...

Is it having a license issue, does anyone know about it? Any status updates?

Websites prove their identity via certificates. LibreWolf does not trust this site because it uses a certificate that is not valid for disroot.org. The certificate is only valid for p1lg502277.dc01.its.hpecorp.net.
 
Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

But also:

disroot.org has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that LibreWolf can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.

The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

I also tested with ungoogled chromium and pretty similar thing...

Anyonea aware, and also about disroot saying on this?

Edit (sort of understood already, no issue with disroot at all): The issue only shows up under the office VPN. It seems like disroot is not recognizing the office's cert...

Edit: Solved. Yes it's the office replacing the original cert with its own, as someone suggested. Thanks to all.

Anyone aware of a testing framework hopefully integrating well, and abstracting the shuttle testing functionality?

BTW I found rtest, but it doesn't in particular abstracts shuttle at all, it's a fixtures generic framework.

Planning to use shuttle to do MT testing targeting C binded code, and looking for a way to abstract as much as possible the shuttle scheduler trait and such...

Thanks !

Hello !

As Mint is based on Ubuntu, I’m wondering if it will follow the missteps (to me at least) Ubuntu is doing to demote *.deb packages in favor of snaps?

Well that based on Ubuntu 23.10’s New Software App Will Demote DEBs (Apparently) post, and its lemmy.ml discussion.

From all ubuntu based distros, Mint seems not to follow those missteps, but I'm wondering if Rhino will do the same. Actually I don't like Rhino created a wrapper package manager which actually gets snap support as well as apt on the same bucket. But who knows, it might be they won't follow ubuntu on this.

Does anyone know?

My interest on Rhino comes from it being rolling release. But I don't want snap to become the source of common/important packages.

Thanks !

I just noticed there's an app installed on a recently acquired pixel 4a 5g, "android system intelligence", which I never found installed on other phones like moto or xiaomi ones.

It also had by default a bunch of permissions granted, which I removes, and only left it with notifications.

Is this a system app I should leave working with more permissions? Should I disable it instead (if possible, I didn't try)?

Is it required for an android system proper functionality? Is it bad to remove all permissions except by the notifications one? Does this damage functionality?

I'm just suspecting about an "android intelligence" thing.

What have others done about it?
