Update for the post two weeks ago: https://lemmy.ml/post/5814564

They've reverted the attempted license change and made it crystal clear that the entire project is under the AGPL now.

I do not wish to use Google's Messages anymore. I've come across QKSMS, but I feel like I'm losing some features with their premium service. I've tried looking for the default AOSP app, but they're not available anywhere on GitHub, which makes it really hard to update periodically via Obtanium. I'd love to see apps similar to "Material Files" by zhanghai - which is almost similar to the AOSP File manager. I was also considering Signal, but I don't appreciate the fact that I'm supposed to provide a phone number.

Ps. I'd also appreciate contacts and dialer alternatives.

Hi there, simply looking for alternatives to Canva. I use this to make quick and easy presentations for Uni. But would like to find opensource alternatives. I am aware of the Libre and OpenOffice Suites ofc, but are there any other ones more similar to Canva?

Appreciate any suggestions.

Edit: For those who stumble across this with the same issue, I eventually got it working by adding “default-runtime”: “nvidia”, to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting the docker service and Jellyfin container.

I am in the process of setting up a new media server on an old PC using Ubuntu Server and CasaOS and have run into my first major roadblock.

To give some background, I formerly had my media server running on my main gaming PC on Windows using Plex and the *arr suite. I’m now trying to do things the right way and set everything back up from scratch on some spare hardware with Jellyfin and all the rest in dockerized containers. I chose CasaOS because I’m not overly familiar with Linux and thought that would be a good way to ease into things.

Everything was going well until I tried to get hardware acceleration enabled in Jellyfin. For the life of me I cannot seem to get the Nvidia drivers properly installed, much less give Jellyfin access to the device. I’m using a GTX 960.

I’m not sure exactly what additional info I need to give here, but here’s something I hope helps:

*****@home-server:/$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

If there’s anything important I’m leaving out - and I probably am - let me know. Also if there’s anywhere else you recommend I post this let me know that as well.

Bibliogram is being discontinued, and Barinsta doesn't work anymore too..

Is there some good soul providing an instagram frontend or app? I really need it to see events, but i don't want to get caught in those useless post suggestions and ads, i just wanna see the content i chose to see.

Lemmy, federation and activity pub have taken my brain to some weird places in these last few months.

What if the world had a federated, activity pub based, passenger transport and delivery app?

Anyone with enough tech literacy to have their own WordPress blog could also start their own local (as in, for their neighbourhood) instance of uber/lyft/doordash, effectively for free. Moderating and establishing quality and trust between customers and providers on their own communities.

Customers could use fronted like jerboa to add as many local instances as they'd like. Or drivers could subscribe to multiple sources of passengers. Or, anyway, networks between restaurantes, delivery and customers.

Some form of opencollective project/format could be use to fund development teams working on it.

I know it's a huge endeavour. Can you please challenge my initial thoughts? Is the logic sound? What am I missing? Do you know of anything like it?

Hey you all, i started using LibreOffice since i switched to Linux, but i didn't used it often yet so I'm still getting the hang of it. Since I'm gonna start College next week, I'm interested in what extensions you can recommend. Some weeks ago i read that it's recommend to install some fonts, so when you exchange documents with other students that are using Microsoft Office, there will be less of formatting issues.

So can you recommend me some useful Extensions, e.g. fonts for the situation above, that can help me in everyday life (as a student)?

I'm looking forward to your suggestions :)

So Recently I came across stirling-pdf through this community only and i was wondering if something like this but for images exist

This is a complete reimagining of the Open Book Project, but the original mission remains:

As a society, we need an open source device for reading. Books are among the most important documents of our culture, yet the most popular and widespread devices we have for reading are closed objects, operating as small moving parts in a set of giant closed platforms whose owners' interests are not always aligned with readers'.

The Open Book aims to be a simple device that anyone can build for themselves. The Open Book should be comprehensible: the reader should be able to look at it and understand, at least in broad strokes, how it works. It should be extensible, so that a reader with different needs can write code and add accessories that make the book work for them. It should be global, supporting readers of books in all the languages of the world. Most of all, it should be open, so that anyone can take this design as a starting point and use it to build a better book.

Does anybody know of any free/OSS software for volunteer/distributed computing aside from [email protected]? I've tried setting up BOINC server side and man is it frustratingly complex even for somebody with sysadmin experience.

There's a lot of under-utilized hardware out there, and there's a lot of people who will donate their CPU cycles to scientific research or other volunteer computing projects, but complexity of the BOINC server-side software creates a very high barrier to entry to scientists.

I know that HTCCondor exists, but if I understand correctly, you need to be able to somewhat trust the hosts which do your compute. I'm also aware of various client software (folding@home etc) but I am looking for server-side software.

Ideal situation:

• Can distribute workunits to clients on a variety of OS and hardware platforms. Obviously the server operator would need to make an app that can work cross-platform or make different versions of the app for each platform.
• Can validate workunits either using its own simple validation or passing the workunit to a custom validation script you write

Hey,

My thunderbird client(s) just got updated to version 115, with the new UI. Personally, I dislike it, and find it disruptive to have all my toolbars moved.

Does anyone know if there's a way to revert to the old, pre ver 115 appearance?

Thanks, -- Pat

In association with the release of curl 8.4.0, we publish a security advisory and all the details for CVE-2023-38545. This problem is the worst security problem found in curl in a long time. We set it to severity HIGH.

While the advisory contains all the necessary details. I figured I would use a few additional words and expand the explanations for anyone who cares to understand how this flaw works and how it happened.
