To explain it a bit further: when you move a file/directory on the same mount point, moving the file/directory is essentially just a rename operation, which doesn’t involve copying the data itself and is a very cheap operation. If you move a file/directory across mount points, you need to (recursively) copy the file/directory, copy file metadata and (recursively) delete the old file/directory, which is slow and error-prone.

the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu

This isn’t some “idiotic principle invented by Ubuntu”, it just follows the freedesktop.org Trash specification. For many users, it can be really beneficial, see also the spec’s introduction:

An ability to recover accidentally deleted files has become the de facto standard for today’s desktop user experience.

Users do not expect that anything they delete is permanently gone. Instead, they are used to a “Trash can” metaphor. A deleted document ends up in a “Trash can”, and stays there at least for some time — until the can is manually or automatically cleaned.

Whether an application like Prism Launcher should use the trash can or delete the files directly is an entirely different question.

I never heard of Cozy, but it looks quite nice. The Self-Hosting Documentation ist a bit lacking, but https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack-compose contains all required information to set it it up yourself.

I originally used Nextcloud, but it has a lot of features not related to file hosting

Cozy seems to be in a similar situation, where file storage is just one of many features that it provides. If you want just files, it might be the best idea to just use any WebDAV Server or something like File Browser.

The error message is very detailed and there is nothing to add to it.

If you want to install an application/CLI tool, use pipx or your system package manager. If you want to install a library, use a virtual environment (e.g. by using python -m venv) or your system package manager.

I love FairEmail’s simplified mail viewer that doesn’t render HTML mails completely and they look more like an enhanced plain text mail instead.

Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

SPRIND GmbH is also known as „Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen“ and owned by the Federal Republic of Germany. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesagentur_für_Sprunginnovationen and https://www.sprind.org

It supports any ONVIF compatible IP camera as well as USB cameras and the raspberry pi camera module

MotionEye used to be the go-to solution.

I am not sure about the current state of the project (the python 2/3 transition took a long while, there are only pre-releases using a modern python version).

They even implemented it in Firefox: moz://a redirects to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/

It think this comment explains it really well: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/13239406

I don’t like it. He is just perpetuating the endless stereotypes that plague linux and harm linux adoption.

If you are using a somewhat stable distro and don’t have weird hardware, you don’t need to “write your own driver” etc. A lot more people “punch themselves in the face” by using a buggy, ad infested, data harvesting operating system even though they just need a web browser.

I think Germany’s done it twice now.

It was Munich and they switched back to Windows after M$ moved their German headquarters to Munich.

Thanks for the explanation

I don’t know moonlight and don’t know what you mean by “certain typed documents”, but AFAIK, OSMC is just Raspbian with some additional stuff. What I am saying is that media playback works just fine performance-wise for some media formats.

I run OSMC on a Pi 4 and it plays h.265 & h.264 videos at 1080p and h.262 at 576p just fine.

Some people also swear by other measures, like changing the SSH port to something else. Most people end up using 2222 to easily remember. This is borderline useless, as you can see for yourself.

While being useless against a sophisticated attacker, there hasn’t been any bot activity in my sshd logs since changing my ssh port to a different one.

Declaring the use without a paid license as “Unlicensed” is very misleading since the project is also licensed under the GNU AGPL v3.0.

You can symlink /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop (if you are using a system installation) or ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/org.gnome.Lollypop (if you are using a uset installation) to ~/.local/bin/lollypop and run it as lollypop.
