In the Lemmyverse for self-hosting Immich looks very popular (despite their warning : The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!)

The old skool Piwigo might do for you ? https://piwigo.org/

You should be able to use nmtui tool in the text terminal to activate your network connection. From the terminal you can also use the startx command to try and see if that would show you a GUI or other useful errors.

Also post ifconfig -a or ip addr show.

ifconfig is deprecated for a long time I think. Not even sure if some Debian package still provides it. I’ve switched to ip a and ip r and cat /etc/resolv.conf to look at such issues as OP has.

This one ? https://github.com/ProtonMail/inbox-desktop/releases

v1.0.3 Latest Fixes

Fixed an issue that led to opening a new Desktop App window when users clicked on the Update button of the Calendar Drawer in Mail. Uninstalling the application on Windows removes user data from the application data folders. The application is placed to a correct application category on Linux. No need to refresh the other application (Mail or Calendar) to apply changes when switching themes.

Muting posts and comments is possible with PieFed https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi For Lemmy I guess you or others can check Lemmy’s GitHub issues to see whether this feature has been requested already.

A much better choice in my opinion is the newer Soothing Noise Player : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ie.delilahsthings.soothingloop/

Here’s Noice in F-Droid which I stopped using after I saw it asked to make Internet connections :

Anti-Features

This app has features you may not like. Learn more!

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-changeable or non-free network service

You can try to follow the build instructions like mentioned in another comment but be aware that you are trying to build for a platform which has as far as I can see no official support compile instructions for the software. YMMV.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.

Making people unhappy

A marketer I know has a mantra, that successful sales are all about dissatisfaction - making people aware just how their situation sucks, and then offering a way to relieve the pain.

Interesting read.

Yes. Haiku is quite light weight, small and snappy. One drawback is that it has not yet multi user implemented (everything still runs as root! But so do old DOS flavors :-) ) but imho it is fun to play with and check which software packages it has (it has several emulators packaged).

You want to try something interesting but want to dual-boot. That last bit could be difficult or “impossible” but using a VM or running from USB stick are options.

• https://www.haiku-os.org I’ve run it from USB stick on some older laptop.
• https://chimera-linux.org FreeBSD user-land with a Linux kernel.
• https://nomadbsd.org FreeBSD which can be run from USB stick with persistent storage. Has a version with ZFS support.
• https://nixos.org Very interesting concept.
• https://www.gobolinux.org GoboLinux is an alternative Linux distribution which redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy. Doesn’t seem up to date but quite interesting. If I remember well you can have different versions of software installed at the same time. Let’s say (making this up) Bash 1.1, 3.1 and 5.2
• https://bedrocklinux.org Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which allows users to mix-and-match components from other, typically incompatible distributions.

Dunno. GDPR is a Europe only thing, and isn’t it only related to how your private data (like name, IP address, phone number) is cared about ?

On routers and modems the DHCP range is usually not allocating the full range for IP addresses to hand out to devices. If I were you I would configure the pi-hole to have a static IP address on the pi-hole itself so it will be independent from your router’s DHCP server. For example let’s say

• the DHCP IP range is 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.254
• then you can pick for example 192.168.1.19 for your pi-hole

With that approach you will avoid IP address conflicts and the pi-hole should be fine. If you’re using systemd on the pi-hole that is maybe easiest, here an example :

• https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd/systemd-networkd#Static_IP_address

Another option is to use nmtui from NetworkManager

Thanks! They have indeed several blog articles about that. Here’s a few :

The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can’t decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.

Well, if you read some more of jwz’s blog posts about the horrible security bugs that others have added while creating derivatives of Xscreensaver you might think twice before doing so. https://www.jwz.org/blog/2021/01/i-told-you-so-2021-edition For me a screensaver is no longer about trying to prevent dead pixels (or something like that) but being able to safely lock the screen when being away from it for a while.

No worries. When I saw the image on Mastodon I thought I did not get it but still looks funny.

• “RunAs” is apparently the Windows equivalence of sudo in Linux.
• Administrator in Windows == root in Linux.
• Furries are popular among some users on the Fediverse, for reasons.
