DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•What's your current situation with Google?
11·10 days agoI find it really hard to leave. I finally left Gmail, but I have many pictures in Photos (I have been postponing a migration to Immich for years), regularly use Maps and have a few documents left to copy in Paperless from Drive. Oh yeah, and almost every video creator I follow have yet to use Peertube instead of YouTube.
I have yet to switch to GrapheneOS, I think I’ll do that when I buy a new phone once mine cease to receive updates in October.
Another option would be virtualisation if your computer has enough CPU and RAM for that. One downside I can think of, is trying to enable Illustrator’s and Photoshop’s hardware acceleration.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Can you install linux on a Aspire es 15 es1-533-c27uEnglish
8·12 days agoThe post you linked to is 9 years old, back then UEFI support on Linux was very limited. Nowadays, pretty much any distro under the sun supports it. The question then, is whether the computer has Secure Boot enabled and can be disabled. Ubuntu and Fedora are signed with Microsoft keys if I recall correctly, so you wouldn’t need to disable it, unlike other distros.
You did say you tried installing Debian and Ubuntu, am I reading this right? Can you give us more details, like which ISO, how you created the Live USB, what error messages you got, etc.

Technology@lemmy.world•'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternativesEnglish
63·12 days agoAs long as the alternative is not another chat app that is not indexable by search engines. Forums fill the role pretty well, I don’t understand why devs would use Discord in the first place.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•SSH Client for Linux Desktop and Android - Alternative to TermiusEnglish
1·15 days agoA password manager? I know Bitwarden and 1Password can store SSH keys and their desktop clients have an SSH agent. No idea about using your keys on Android though.
But you’re still using Caddy as the sole reverse proxy, don’t you? Do you have multiple Caddy instances that require access to a single certificate?
I do not understand why you are using certwarden when Caddy can generate SSL certificates by itself.
Well, for image manipulation, I can only think of GIMP as I have been using it for close to 2 decades. But because I have barely scratched the surface of what you can do with it, I don’t know if it would be a suitable replacement for your use-case. Also of note, its UI is definitely not a one-to-one reproduction of Photoshop’s, so it will require some getting used to.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do Linux distributions developers use their own distro for work in their distro?English
18·1 month agoSince creating a distro is mostly about packaging software, I assume they use their distro daily to make sure software doesn’t break.
Anecdotally, I’ve seen Ubuntu and Fedora maintainers publishing screenshots where you clearly see that they use the distro they work on.

15·2 months agoI wonder how much of a problem it is when you lost the phone that had your eSIM. If the registration flow requires SMS authentication, how are your supposed to register your eSIM on your brand new phone?

3·2 months agoTry running this command from your PC, your server and the uptime kuma container:
dig @192.168.0.100 api.pushover.netIf it fails on all three, the issue is on PiHole. If it fails on the server or container, it’s a common networking issue between container and host or intra-container.
