Hi guys.

I have an android head unit for my car that only manages multimedia, navigation and stuff. it also has multiple physical buttons and knobs. It’s offbrand so can name the particular brand or model.

can I for example upgrade the OS?

I forgot to mention, I am using lineageOS with no google/Gapps.

How can I use it like my Linux comluter?

 

Hi everybody. I have a rooted phone and I was thinking, If I can spin up something like Samsung DEX on my phone, alongside my android, that uses Linux, I can do 80% of my work just with my phone. Is that doable? Can someone provide me with more information?

Don't focus too much on tools (languages,ide, editor, etc.)

Get strong fundamentals in math and software, code with C and a high level language like python for a couple of years and you're good on the tooling side.

Focus on your mathematics, logic and philosophy. These are what separate legendary engineers, scientists and visionaries from people who are only amazing at programming.

Remember that you are an engineer/scientist/philosopher not a cog in the machine that gets told what code to write and writes it.

I highly recommend reading the works of Feynman, Dijkstra, Turing and other greats to better see how they think and approach things.

(Maybe these aren't the direct answers to your questions, but wisdom. damn I wish someone told these stuff to me sooner)

My take is, don't do explicitly bad stuff, like, don't create malicious software of work for military, or DARPA, cia, NSA, google, etc.

But also, your work shouldn't be necessarily divine. No work is. If you look Into it, even being a Linux kernel Dev isn't that divine. Just don't be a direct cause of bad things, and I think that is good enough.

And get payed good and use that money for good stuff. Kind of a robinhood job. If you can earn for example 200K from a not super evil company and give 30K to people who need it, is much better than earning 100K working in a open source startup or whatever and not help other people, and also be poorer.

Of course, it's really important how much you enjoy your job and if you are excited to go to work everyday.

One of the worst news I've read lately.

Why aren't Israeli maintainers removed? Oh because linux is basically owned by IBM now.

The linux kernel isn't free anymore. It's open source, but not free.

Releasing apks in github isn't a viable option? Syncthing without the android app is pretty much pointless.

It's good for new, unrelated stuff. For example if you're just starting to work with python, or just want to test some project, its much easier to setup than nvim or emacs. I also like intellij idea. I think in terms of just works, it is much better. But it is more resource intensive

Hi guys. I want to deploy focalboard as a replacement for trello in our company, my confusion is : How can I manage the focalboard instance? (Doccker) For example manage boards, manage users, limit user access so anyone from the web can't just register and use our instance.

I asked in the mattermost groups but the support groups are totally dead. No response.

 

Hi guys. So I'm wondering, is it safe(privacy wise) to integrate my google account into my GNOME desktop, only giving mail and calendar permissions to it? It's nice to have my calendar events into my top bar. (Please give technical answers)

How to monetize services? (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by somegeek to c/[email protected]
 

Hi guys. how can I monetize my rustdesk servers? like, imagine I tell client X to pay 1$/month for using my server, how can I authenticate users? (prevent others from using the server so only people who are paying can use).

CONTEXT: I live in a country with very limited internet (like china) so using public servers is not good. I would also have to be able to maintain the costs of the server. so this is not illegal and not unethical.
