I was not aware bout ADASs being forced, :( Who is incompetent to drive shouldn't be allowed to. What is forced upon people is getting weirder every day.

Looking for a desktop RSS feed reader for Linux

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 1w ago

hmm, it depends on the distribution. On artix for example it's available from stock official repos, and also from AUR (meaning it has to be built) but its build is pretty simple according to its own newsraft repo, just make + make install. It's C based, so it should build everywhere, in case interested. I prefer building it from AUR rather than using the distro repos package, to be more up to date, and it builds really fast. At any rate, just an option in case willing to explore it later. I explored several feed readers before, being the last gui I tried "news-flash" which can or can not be used with a combination of feeds self hosted server. I ended up looking at newsraft, and hadn't looked back since.

Does "desktop" means no TUI? Because newsraft and its predecessor newsboat are pretty cool. Newsraft is the one I use.

Fennec compaining about unifiedpush?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 1mo ago

Unified push is great news in general for AOSP based ROMs phones for battery life, it's an open notification standard and system. There are several providers or distributors. If you're already using nextCloud with the unified push support on the server (murena has enabled this already because they want apps to consume less energy because of having to run in the background if not wanting to use the proprietary google services notifications) then you can use the unified push app already available on f-droid. If using conversations (xmpp client) it already supports working as an unified push provider and perhaps other xmmp clients already added such support and conversations is also available on f-droid. Or you can use the ntfy provided app also available on f-droid. There's an apps list available to find out if particular apps already support unified push, and as you can see fennec is one of them. BTW, if one doesn't want or need push notifications on fennec this can be disabled on its notifications settings, When installing an unified push notification provider, the apps supporting it will attempt to subscribe with a particular topic name on the provider, and usually the providers come with default settings to automatically accept subscriptions, and one can just check if the subscription is there already or not, one might need to stop and re-open the app for it to attempt to subscribe. Make sure the provider is running in the background without restrictions, I can tell conversations and ntfy are pretty low battery consumers so no worries about no restrictions on battery consumption.

Does that help? Otherwise I'm kind of lost with the questiosn.

Why do you use the terminal?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 3mo ago

Yyup, notmuch doesn't sync folders AFAIK since it is an indexer (a fast one), one needs mbsync and/or imapnotify to keep mail up to date (the combination might be mbsync to sync on boot, and then imapnotify to keep things up to date based on such notifications) to keep mail up to date. Another options is khard which is menat for cardav contacts just as khal is meant for caldav calendar... mutt-ics sounds great for ics calendar invitations, which I sometimes get from non family and non organization parties, otherwise I receive caldav ones, which I'd like to integrate with the caldav calendar so it syncs, perhaps mutt-ics handles that as well, first time reading about it, :)

Many thanks for answering !

how does khal integrate with neomutt for received invitations? khard works pretty well AFAIK with neomutt. Also, have you tried alot (notmuch + afew + alot + ...)? It sounds alot integrates much better than neomutt with notmuch, which in turn integrates much more better than mutt...

Please define suckless. See on under suckless.org one can find rocking software, meaning suckless alternatives not developed/maintained by them, and on the editors section I see:

acme - Rob Pike's framing text editor for Plan 9. Included in plan9port.
ed - ED IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR!
ired - A minimalist hexadecimal editor and bindiffer for p9, w32 and *nix.
mg - A portable version of mg.
mle - A small, flexible console text editor.
nano - A pico clone - this is small simple code and easy to use.
neatvi - A minimal vi implementation supporting bidirectional UTF-8
nextvi - A continuation of neatvi development with more features.
nvi - A small, multiple file vi-alike.
micro - A terminal text editor, written in go with common key bindings like ctrl-c to copy and ctrl-v to paste.
sam - An editor by Rob Pike with inspiration from ed.
sim - The sim text editor. Based on vim and sam.
traditional vi - A fixed version of the original vi.
vim (With the GUI, use :set go+=c to kill popup dialogs). It can be compiled to be as minimal as possible (see vim-tiny in Debian repos).
vis - A modern, legacy free, simple yet efficient vim-like editor.
wily - An acme clone for POSIX.

That said, also note there's an emacs-nox package available in most distros, which only includes the editor able to run on a terminal emulator, if emacs OS is too much. And can you share URLs justifying why vim is a big security hole? BTW I don't see neovim as part of the suckless.org/rocks software. What is suckless depends a lot about what one might consider it to be, even though there might be some common characteristics that can be recognized as not good such as bloated, too big code base and so on.

BandCamp not working in NewPipe/ PipePipe

Not only those, it was google removing support for extractors, knowing that would affect frontends, particularly yt-dlp, and of course they had to react. BTW, libretube, what I prefer from f-droid was also affected. See this yt-dlp issue which was already fixed with a commit and the immediate release they provided. I grabbed the yt-dlp fix on artix Today and the libretube fix on f-droid Today as well.

I believe all frontends got affected (attacked?) in pretty similar ways...

What XMPP clients do you like and why?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 3mo ago

terminal: profanity (really cool, it became what I regularly use, no audio/video calls though in which case a gui like dino can be used, syncing between the two)
gui: dino (there's a fork called dinox)
android: conversations (from f-droid)

Profanity: How to add oneself as contact?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 4mo ago

Yup, I realized community.xmpp.net is dead, and sadly it's the only profanity specific community, :(

Ohh, I've always written to myself for things I want to sync and prefer to encrypted while syncing. It seemed natural to me, since all chat mechanisms I've used support writing to myself. But perhaps that notion is not so natural as I believe.

Many thanks then !

What software do you use to aggregate email in a single interface?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 6mo ago

It depends on your preferences of course. Notmuch offers a way fast indexer you can't get with traditional gui applications, but by itself it's not pretty useful, however the integration with other tools makes it really powerful, with afew you get your personal tagging when messages arrive (filters), with alot you just get the email frontend. If you like the terminal experience, then you'd know you need something extra for smtp (writing emails) and there you have for example msmtp. It's a matter of choice. I mentioned notmuch since the traditional approach to the terminal is plain neomutt, but there are alternatives. isync (mbsync) actually interacts well with neomutt but it also does it with notmuch, and neomutt can be used as a frontend for notmuch as well. A matter of choices.

The thing with solutions like thunderbird is that you have to adhere to their design decisions. For example I don't like their librnp implementation, and I had to create alpm hooks on artix to keep updating such library with sequoia-octopus-librnp, not because I like rust (I don't dislike it either), but because at least I can keep just one keyring, and thunderbird when not having a master password (the default) keeps its keyring unencrypted, and I pretty much see no reason not to use gnupg. So I decided I better kept using gnupg's keyring and stuff. Integrating different tools designed for specific purposes you have more freedom of choice. At any rate that's how unix was conceived, and you can choose to do it that way if you want.

Cool, it never came back to arch/artix, however I see it on aur. I actually don't use gui for mpd, I use ncmpcpp, but good to know it has quite good gui frontend. ario is good as well, particularly if not much into Qt apps.

search engine megathread?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 6mo ago

I don't know if your complain about serxng is something you'll eventually get with 4get. Whatever works at any time. See google and other search engines had been playing awful to searxng. At some point google will notice 4get instances and will take on them as well. On searx[ng] on the side one can see what has been suspended, denied, timed out, etc.

Time wise, 4get allows for only 1 engine at a time. searx[ng] allows for several no wonders it can take time. BTW the user can choose any of the engines per search they want. That of course can take more time. The point is that right now all search engines have taken it on searx[ng], and options are welcome. Self hosting is working better maybe because the search engines don't feel threaten by it.

The good thing is to have alternatives.

BTW, I thought google found the way to finally get rid of invidio, but it seems there are a couple of instances still working. Good !

DeGoogle doesn't make sense if keeping google services and google play (this provides services any ways). For example grapheneOS as best as it is for security is not a DeGoogle experience. calyxOS would have been an option but it's currently out of maintenance. LineageOS with f-droid basic, apkupdater (apkpure mirror) if needing proprietary stuff and maybe aurora store if apkpure doesn't find something or you distrust it (it'll be connecting to google play), and for them, if needing google push notifications (most of them do) and unavoidable services then microG.

Some FLOSS apps requiring push notifications allow to use unified push btw, like jami and davdroid (davx5), molly (signal client, though I no longer use signal), so no need for google push notifications, and for email imap has supported it's own push notifications mechanism for way long (fairemail, thunderbird, etc). It's on proprietary apps which mostly that's not the case... Installing from official f-droid I believe gets rid of proprietary google stuff, including dependencies on google services library...

How about isync + notmuch + afew + alot + msmtp? gpg decryption not directly supported but using alot's pipeto it can be used to decrypt messages. As using notmuch as indexer it's flow is pretty similar/compatible to/with gmail.

How to transfer files between profiles on GrapheneOS?

Jump

kixik @lemmy.ml 6mo ago

Not specific to grapheneos, and also battery friendly on LOS is localsend, and on gnu+linux I use instead localsend-go since it offers a CLI (what I use) and a rudimentary TUI which is missing some functionality but good enough (I prefer using it as CLI). But localsend also includes a windows app BTW. On gnu+linux some prefer kdeconnect, but I find it more battery intensive than localsend on the phone, and the extra functionality is not what I expected, like I originally guessed I could write sms from a gnu+linux box, or read past one, and that's not what sms control means.
