This looks neat. It’ll be sweat it it could get

• tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
• Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
• lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

does it have tasker integration? that could be a nice combo.

pairdrop.net maybe?

It’s mainly for local network, but you can do internet transfers.

Wow, Linaro. that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. They were the ones to optimize Android builds during the IceCreamSandwich days and just last day I was wondering if there were any third party optimization project still out there. All the best to them.

This came up in my feed.

What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?

Apart from replicating the pixel experience on devices not sold by Google, it was a ROM that enabled people to upload unlimited images/video in any resolution to google photos cloud storage (as it could disguise itself as OG Google Pixel).

I don’t know if it worked well and how google didn’t stop it, but it was one of the highlight of this project.

Gadgetbridge lets you connect and get data from supported smart or fitness watch without manufacturers app. Completely local.

I hope you don’t mind some questions.

• what are the specs of the machine?
• average number of users?
• which one do you think is most resource intensive
• which one is time consuming to maintain/upgrade?

I am curious about selfhosting an instance for a community but am afraid federation will consume too much time/resource/money for a side project.

IPv6 usually have unique IP addresses (non-local) for every device in the network. does that mean it will malicious actors can target a device specifically inside a network?

• Gadgetbridge - If you have compatible fitness/smart watch. keeps data local
• OpenTracks - Tracking your run/walk/hikes. keeps data local
• Organic Maps - Offline Maps and navigation
• Feeder - RSS reader
• Syncthing-fork -Syncing files across devices
• mpv-android - Fast no frills video player.

All available on F-Droid

Anyone know what kind of minimum requirements does it need for reliable performance? I couldn’t find them in their docs.

I’m hearing a few mentions about ReactOS recently. What do people mostly use it for? It seems it’s trying to be a Windows XP clone, can it run latest browsers, which do not support old Windows versions?

Translation:

I really liked what I saw in #KDE but due to my habit with .deb packages I think I’ll do better in a distro based on @debian

AFAIK it’s maintained by a group called Ablaze and I think I saw them mention they are university students and opensource enthusiasts in Github discussions.

There are blog posts on their site about changes to their team and leadership. Their blog is in Japanese but I just translate it with Firefox’s inbuilt translator. So I don’t think it’s a single dev.

man reads few comments on the internet.

man takes it literally.

did you read the article?

I’m convinced though that if we want Linux on phones to become an option for everyone, there’s no way around the need for well-integrated support for Android apps

I’ve documented the reverse engineering work on this Github repo, including a very rough step-by-step manual of how to run things.

I was looking for the same thing when I accidentally deleted a video from Google Photos app a month back. I didn’t find any opensource ones, so I ended up using one from the playstore. Tried a few and turned off wifi before opening them, because I was sure they were going to have a lot of ads and generally don’t want anything uploaded without me knowing.

One app worked (I don’t even remember the name), then deleted it right away.
