What exactly is the deadman setup? I did a quick search and found someone asking for a feature from last pass. Is this what you’re referring to?
I’ve debated on using a bank safe but I’m still unsure about the regulations in my country regarding them. Notably what can law enforcement do without a warrant etc etc.
In terms of self hosting I think that’ll likely be the route I go as well, where family can just “shut it down” upon my death. I’m sure my partner might want to keep a few things (e.g. my kodi setup) but the things they would want to keep aren’t too difficult I feel.
I mostly play rogue likes with controller and would like a XBox/Playstation style controller
I’m assuming you dont need gyro or touchpad that you’ll get with PlayStation / Nintendo compatible controllers, however if you do want those features the Switch Pro controller & the DualSense (PS5) play nicely on my Linux computer (with steam)
Out of the two I’d probably recommend the dual sense since you’re used to Xbox / Western PS layout rather then Nintendo / Japanese PS layout.
I’ve heard good things about the 8bitdo controllers, but can’t comment on their compatibility or quality. The contemporary xbox wireless controllers I don’t personally like, the current ones have this extra grippy texture on the back and thumbsticks that doesn’t sit well with me and the lack of rechargeability ootb is disappointing for the price.
I wish the address book and calendar information were also encrypted
However, Open-Exchange, the software platform used by Mailbox.org, does not support the encryption of your address book and calendar. A standalone option may be more appropriate for that information. (source)
I currently use protonmail but if mailbox.org made that change I’d switch immediately, so I could actually get calendar integration on KDE (with Kontact)
I understand why they wouldn’t want to suddenly change the branding of existing projects though.
I’m not sure if I agree, I feel like the long term damage of keeping the names is greater than changing them now to Fedora Plasma Atomic (Formerly Kinoite) / Fedora Atomic Workstation (Formerly Silverblue). Leaving them as is, is just going to create more confusion in the future to new users who won’t immediately understand why the naming convention is different for the other spins and will create more confusion for documentation / support threads online.
I feel that I am 50:50 on it, immutable at least conveyed more information about what it is while Atomic feels a lot more “buzz-word-y” and does not convey as well what it means. Regardless, I’d say the bigger issue is keeping the old Silverblue & Kinoite names, they really should change them even if it means having a ~2 year period of having “Formerly Silverblue / Kinoite”.
Thank you for the very thorough reply! For god knows what reason I get this error: error: app/org.mozilla.firefox/x86_64/stable not installed
when running the xdg-open firefox-reader command, yet manually running flatpak run --user org.mozilla.firefox about:reader?url=https://example.com
works just fine. I’ll have to troubleshoot it when I have a bit more time ;p
Thanks again for your very thorough write up and the linked articles. Have a good day :)
Update: It seems like on my system, the --user
flag was the issue, removing it made the script function. I am using Fedora Kinoite (Immutable version of KDE Plasma), so perhaps it is just a difference in how flatpak is configured between distros? I’ll have to read into it more later.
I’ll keep my answer focused on KDE Connect as I no longer use a TWM. You can most definitely use KDE Connect in non-Plasma environments. For non-Plasma (and non-Gnome * ) environments you can just install the kdeconnectd
package. Then, to start the KDE Connect daemon manually, execute /usr/lib/kdeconnectd
. You can schedule this to autostart as a systemd unit, or in the config for your TWM (I know in sway/i3 you could start it, I’m assuming it is similar for many other options)
If you use a firewall, you need to open UDP and TCP ports 1714 through 1764. If you use firewalld
specifically, there’s an option to enable KDE Connect rather than manually specifying it. This also let’s you have it only work on private networks and not public if you so chose.
See Arch wiki for more details
*For gnome I would recommend using gs-connect even if you have a tiling extension
£ KDE-Connect: does that work on TWMs? Is there a good implementation? Can I use GSConnect elsewhere too?
It depends on which version you install. They have a version where user namespaces are disabled so tools such as podman and distrobox cannot run and flatpak requires bubblewrap to run as root. If you download the other version podman etc. will run and flatpak will also use user namespaces

I’d much rather use a separate Firefox (now Mozilla I think) account for my professional work. I also would prefer having separate extensions, notably Zotero connector is kind of useless for my personal browsing
Most of the documents I produce are converted to PDF or printed, so I use Nimbus Roman or Nimbus Sans (I believe). I do use Open Dyslexic font
For UI I really enjoy Inter, although Ubuntu, Roboto and IBM Plex Sans are also nice
For terminal I use Hack, although Source Code Pro is nice
The other nice thing for “state funded media” is they often have translations for international audiences
For example CBC / Radio-Canada also have an international page, Radio-Canada International offered in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic etc.
I always assumed xeyes was made for that exact purpose, somewhat funny that it was not designed for this.
I have not personally tried it, but here they describe it as being alpha software.
Of course, that alpha designation could be unwarranted, I do not know.
I am sticking around for the time being. While it is a community project, Red Hat is still the legal entity representing it and is a sponsor of the Fedora Project. I am confident that Fedora will continue to exist (or if RedHat ruins it, the community would fork it), consequently I feel that this is more a question of morals / ethics or desire to distance oneself from Red Hat products. With switching you would likely be giving up either KDE or immutability, until OpenSUSE’s Kalpa matures more. Regardless, I’m not sure how much benefit Red Hat gets from you being a Fedora user. Unless you contribute to the project itself or are using Fedora as a means to gain more knowledge for using RHEL products in enterprise.
Some relevant articles for people interested; Fedora Project Wikipedia governance section, Fedora Project Wiki regarding the proposed “Foundation” and the mailing list discussing the “Foundation”.
To elaborate further on what Vani said below, Fedora is an independent community run project but Red Hat does provide some funding to the project. Fedora is also “upstream” of RHEL / CentOS so it is not impacted like Alma / Rocky.
This will depend on browser. With Safari on my iPad, extensions do not apply to PWA installed. I was hoping I could still use some userscripts with Lemmy but they do not function with the PWA and only function if I open the website properly.
I have never checked but I believe it does? Regardless the infotainment is based off of Android 4.something so it would not be hard to hack it and cobble something together to get a browser sideloaded.
It goes both ways though, if beehaw isolates itself enough the rest of the fediverse will make its own communities that effectively replace the ones we lost from them defederating.
As of now they’re blocking 387 communities according to this
You and someone else have mentioned the deadman switch, does the other person need an account or can credentials be made for them? I haven’t used bitwarden in a while (since I migrated to gopass and then to keepass), so I’m guessing this is a new feature.
That is a very fascinating feature and I think I’ll look into it!
