GrapheneOS with a pixel device, de googled. Google Play store can be left out or sand boxed in.

For both of those the YAST GUI is just search package , check the one you want, hit Apply. But yeah, outside of the repos, and the community repos finding .rpm packages is harder than .debs.

OpenSUSE always worked well for my installs. Typically on an nVidia machine though I’d have to add the nvidia hosted repos for OpenSUSE, after main install and install the proprietary drivers.

Are you using the CLI importer tool?

That is weird

Isn’t that the natural hand postion though when you move the phone to your ear?

Not this headset but another sound device (maybe MS headset) I needed to install pavucontrol, open it and go to playback options and click around, and the device popped up in the DE sound switcher

Depends, on how critical something is…since we deal with servers / customers at work that often are purposely not adjusted for years…because introducing a different behaviour (even if better) would grind production to a halt, I take a not careful approach.

I was using OpenSUSE Leap, and with zypper you can review which patches are available, whether they are critical or run recommended or not needed. You can then apply which specific patch you want be CVE if necessary.

But with Leap’s path seaming messy at the moment, I moved to Tumbleweed, since you have snapshotying built in. If an update did mess something up you just rollback to the previous snapshot and in less than a minute it is fixed

Volumio is a great tool for Pi or PC and has phone app to control music selection remotely. You can add music to the volumio player, or access dlna shares, as well as add on music services and internet radio

After trying a bunch I settled on trillium, it seemed the best of the bunch. My only complaint would be the cloning note wasn’t working like I expected. I think I expected the Clone to make a copy, but it was more of a symlink duplicate

Kasa TPlink sockets and switches can be set to only run local on Homeassistant., with some github hacking help. Don’t need their cloud app at all

I thought that was how pull requests worked, its a branch if you’veade a departure to edit code, you have the pull request and ask them to merge into the main branch. It should be visible to everyone so everyone can review the change.

They can try to argue that latency issue and the stale state were an unknown / unanticipated problem. Like when half of Canadas Rogers network went down affecting most debit payment systems. Testing of routing showed it OK, realworld flip went haywire.

Most services have a clause that they are not liable for unforseen issues… Depends how good the lawyers were when formalizing the contracts.

GSconnect extension on GNOME, and its honestly amazing. Send files, copy clipboard, auto pause my music when a phonecalls comes in. Custom commands from the phone to lock my session if I’m away from my desk. Such a great application.

Oh shit, that’s terrible.

Port forwarding is done at the router/firewall, so if ports can’t be transferred its a cgnat thing they are doing. Like a Non CGNAT IP on the internet can be sent a packet on any port.

I use libre office draw, the underlying PDF is editable, but there may be a way to lock it like layers or something

It’s an Intel i5-7700 cpu in a Gigabyte Z270N mobo. Those were chosen as a form factor fit for the Monsterlabo fanless case. (Only a select set of boards, and in this case 1151 brackets, fit the case)

I have been looking for something new.

Last week was moving Immich up to the new release I was on an old version, which meant migrating to an intermediate version to allow a database rebuild. It worked well.

I was bored this week so just ran some wattage testing.

• 15w at idle (800MHz)
• 20w active (3.4GHz)
• 30w peak at boot
