Doesn't sound like you shiuld care about one or two gigs ๐Ÿ˜…

 

Which convertible / tablet can you guys recommend?

I am looking for a replacement for my laptop.

It should run smooth. I don't run games on it. It's for writing prose and analysis with vscodium.

Microsoft surface go?

https://github.com/DLopezJr/fp may help until flatpak solves the usability issue

forge is awesome! Currently, I love PaperWM. Here are some suggestions

This is how it could look like from now on https://fedoraproject.org/silverblue/

May I ask what's filling uo that space since you respond to my comment about having moved all media to a server which I can access instantly from anywhere.

Hmm? You lose the namespace isolation, and by extension the chroot, but that's it. It's definitely nice to have, but to say it's "most" of the sandboxing seems a misrepresentation. Note that some distros disable the kernel support for them by default, so that's what they currently get regardless of Flatpak.

To firefox it doesn't seem to be too bad.

On nautilus you can't even click the address bar. On dolphin it still works as you say.

I didn't even realize this until you wrote it down. That is bad. It's the same on mobile. Consistent behavior is good. At first you select the box and then write into it. It's good that it selects everything, otherwise you would have to select everything in order to be able to use it as the search box. It would be very annoying if it were differently.

That leads me to the question: why aren't we using the path box to search stuff like on browsers? Dolphin even opens firefox and searches for "http://test" when I type just "test" into it. Why is http the default protocol?

Because the Firefox browser is open-source, we know Firefox inside and out

Ok

Tip: you will still need to restart Firefox for the latest version.

That shows who the target group is

  1. To state that firefox is fully compatible with flatpak is great! That is a reason to use the flatpak version of it.
  2. Nice
  3. It's nice to see better performance but you could've just told distro maintainers what to do
  4. Updates are fast even if you use the flatpak or distro build.

I use firefox btw

Edit: I compeltely forgot that ubuntu replaced firefox with the snap version. Is this the reason why they do it?

And, I don't like that ubuntu replaced the distro firefox with snap but at the same time I don't like that fedora still sticks with the distro firefox and not the flatpak version on atomics. I am nuts.

Edit2: I am not nuts! Ubuntu let's you believe you install the apt version of firefox. Fedora shall replsce firefox with flatpak but it shall not pretend that it's installed via rpm-ostree / dnf.

@cypherpunks@lemmy.ml do you need help? It looks like you are the only one who's active on lemmy

 

Flatpaks aren't huge at all. This is a debunked myth. I can't recommend reading this article enough.

Does someone have a script that converts all videos files from 264 to 265 and changes the name?

Even an attempt at it would be appreciated

looks like I will not convert anything at all.

It is definitely not worth converting x264, even less x265, to av1, if you are the only consumer. Just think about it. To get any "significant" space gains, while keeping a close to original quality (you will inevitably lose some detail), you need to spend maybe at least 3-4x more time encoding than the actual total video length, probably more, maybe 5x. Taking an average of 3GB/hour, 2TB is about 650 hours. x5 that's like 3250 hours. An 8 core ryzen will have like 150W total system load encoding av1. 3250h * 0.15 kWh =~ 500 kWh. 500 kWh * 0.15$/kWh (I took an optimistic electricity cost for these days, might be a lot more depending where you live) = $75 in electricity costs. Setting encodes, moving files around, will also take up some significant amount of time. You will gain maybe 1TB, if compressing audio to opus as well, less than that you will have significant video quality losses. 1TB of hdd space is worth $15 these days. And you don't waste time/electricity+money/video quality.

So it's only worth to get existing published encodes of the material you own, of if you are planning on publishing yourself. Or just for fun, if you want to experiment and encode one movie to see what's the best you can get out of av1.

Why is there #Mastodon and #Pixelfed?

On pixelfed there's only images but you can filter mastodon for images. Why would I make two profiles and when do I post which image to which platform?
