👍 Readeck looks nice. https://readeck.org/

This person blogged about it and offers two ways of making it work https://www.dongdongbh.tech/setup-hp-1020-priter-on-linux The second method doesn’t need a GUI it seems, and for the first method you could use VNC, or ssh -X, to have the pi’s desktop on your computer for the hplip GUI.

The openprinting page has another thing to say about it : https://openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_1020

The firmware of the printer must be uploaded after turning it on. You can use a hotplug/udev script which comes with foo2zjs, or do it manually: "cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0".

What you can do is pretend to reinstall (–reinstall), download only (-d), for example for xfce4 meta package :

sudo apt-get -d install --reinstall xfce4

Then stop it after it shows you which packages it is about and copy and paste all the packages it mentions in a simple file (myfile) and execute that.

For Gnome it could be like this (leaving out a lot of packages to make the example fit on one line) :

sudo apt-get remove --purge baobab chrome-gnome-shell folks-common fonts-cantarell gdm3

As you can see do note which display manager you’re currently using. Executing the file you made can be done with :

bash ./myfile

👏 Fireworks! 🎆

This article is about Mobifree https://f-droid.org/en/2024/05/24/mobifree.html As far as I can see F-Droid mentions that it will be a contributing partner :

For more than 14 years, F-Droid has been developing solutions which act as pieces of the alternative mobile ecosystem puzzle. So it was a natural fit for F-Droid to become a contributing partner in the broader Mobifree project.

F-Droid playing a role :

F-Droid will play a major role in this project, tasked with creating a decentralized distribution system for developers to deliver apps to Android users.

Help to create the NGI funded project Mobifree :

F-Droid is one participating organization who has joined forces to help create this new mobile ecosystem. However, additional input, expertise, inspiration and work will be needed in order to break the traditional framework established by Big Tech. From community outreach to legal support, from developers, to researchers and end users, we welcome all forms of support.

I don’t read that F-droid will force ads on F-Droid on users any time soon. I can imagine F-Droid will continue to exist as it is but I could be wrong.

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.

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
