Cachyos is fantastic. I installed it 7 months ago and I can never go back (I previously used Mint for years). It’s the best distro I’ve used. Best of luck.

Android@lemdro.id•Uninstalling Google Play System updates is finally possible, right from your phone
2·2 days agoI’m also on the search for a different phone that is more open and onto which I can install de-googled android or linux. Maybe Jolla phone? or Fairphone? I don’t really want (or like tbh) a Pixel.

Android@lemdro.id•Uninstalling Google Play System updates is finally possible, right from your phone
1·3 days ago@baatliwala@lemmy.world @TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works
So Canta (https://github.com/samolego/Canta) is the app that uninstalls and Shizuku (https://shizuku.rikka.app/) is the app that allows Canta to access the system.
Together they’re basically just a UI ‘easy to use’ alternative to direct adb via terminal. Canta displays a list of all apps on the phone system conveniently marked with recommendations for removal - e.g. Recommended | Unsafe | System | Advanced | Expert
I know it’s more work to setup however for ease of use after that I like it. There are lists available (on Github for example) of apps that have been installed on most phone models and I would use these lists anyway if I was using adb+terminal. Now using Canta IT checks the lists, and provides me a visual interface to the apps that are installed on my phone, compared to the compiled lists, and then marks them … then it lets me remove or not as I see fit.
In summary, it’s seems to be a nice(?kind of) UI to adb designed for ease of use.

Android@lemdro.id•Uninstalling Google Play System updates is finally possible, right from your phone
7·4 days agoI stumbled upon Canta & Shizuku which when combined can enable removal of (system level) apps on Android devices. I haven’t gone crazy removing stuff however I am following cautiously the lists of recommended and safe apps.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns
2·4 days ago@dingleberrylover@lemmy.world
It’s a domain I’ve had for 15 years (I keep renewing) and I registered with 123-reg.If you 're in the EU definitely check out Bunny. They’re based in Slovenia. I used their free trial, to test it all out. After that their pricing is competitive, and mostly if you’re a single user homelab type you’ll pay nothing. At least, that’s been my experience for the past 8 months. My use falls well under their provided no charge tier.
I looked at using nginx however I liked what I read and saw of Caddy (it seemed easier for me). I don’t do anything very clever and Caddy is working great for me.
*I’m not associated with them other than to be a customer. Prior to switching to Bunny I used Cloudflare free level but I wanted to get away from anything associated with the USA and their (lack of ) data protection laws.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Own domain for Jellyfin and privacy concerns
3·4 days ago@dingleberrylover@lemmy.world I have a static IP provided by my ISP. I own my own domain name. I use BunnyCDN to manage my DNS.
On my server I run Jellyfin and reverse proxy with Caddy, I also run Fail2Ban. Caddy has built in SSL certification.
After I set it all up (which took me a few tries to get it all right as I was learning on the go) it just runs with no apparent problems. I check logs and monitor it regularly however so far I haven’t had any problems.
The Jellyfin address is shared only to a few family members.
I’m in the EU so GDPR applies and none of the involved companies is datamining my stuff. Their policies are to be non-invasive.

Linux@programming.dev•YT-Feeds: a cross-platform ultra lightweight YouTube application with playback via MPV, saved watch history, search functionality, zero distractions, video downloading, and much more!
2·5 days ago@nate@programming.dev [System: Cachyos, latest updates]
Installed yt-feeds Run as <user>: play doesn’t work for any videos
Run as sudo: play works for videos but there is no sound. mpv not detected as a sound source, selecting different output devices makes no difference
I took it. I’ve got a few like this however this one was decent enough without any editing to use as is.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients
2·11 days agoI used a 3040 to run a vaultwarden install and a web server. I switched to something more powerful (more ram, more ssd, faster CPU) and added jellyfin, a file server, and some *arr apps. I still have the 3040, thinking about putting pihole on it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone have experience cutting their own hair? Should I cut my own hair?
1·11 days agoI’ve been cutting my own hair for 30 years. I’m pretty good at it now but it’s still not easy (I’m also autistic). i use ear plugs to block the sound of the electric clippers and I just try to get it over with quickly. I don’t do anything fancy, keep it short and neat, and if I mess up I’m okay with shaving it all off. blank slate haha

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what country would you never go to again?
26·1 month agoThe US. I’m Scottish, 56 years old. I’ve been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.
I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.
I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump’s first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can’t stomach racism or any of the hate shit.
Seeing what’s happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.
I installed Cachyos in June this year after years of Mint (Cinnamon).
It was a zero problem install and everything works with my hardware. I chose KDE and it runs with Wayland perfectly. it’s the best distro I’ve used since i started with Linux in 1995. So my experience with Arch is excellence so far. pacman is already my favourite package manager.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•New home server, NixOS vs Proxmox vs Arch
4·2 months agoI’m running Debian 12 bare metal on my home server, for over a year.
it just runs, no hassle or craziness.
I switched to Cachyos KDE a week ago. It’s the best distro I’ve used (previously I ran Debian KDE, and Mint Cinnamon before that). I have a GTX 1070 ti and it set up with zero issues. Steam installed perfectly, and I used AUR to install the gaming-meta package.



When I was 19 - 21 I sold drugs in the club scene. Early 90s. I did it Thursday - Sunday. I made £1k per week minimum.
It was not fun but … I couldn’t make surviving money with the shitty jobs I had (I’d been working since I was 15) and this was easy. It was 90s clubs, they practically sold themselves.
Decent money but lots of stress.
