Oh damn, I didn’t think I wouldn’t be the first to post about Evoland 2 of all games in this thread, it’s pretty obscure, isn’t it. Great game though.

Here’s a demo one that works on rooted Android: https://github.com/Hirohumi/RustyRcs/

(Also iOS 18+ Messages lol)

It’s not RCS’s fault Google locks down the API on their OS.

No it’s not. Get the spec here: https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/networks/rcs/universal-profile/#download

I’m fairly sure you can do this with Wireplumber hooks. https://pipewire.pages.freedesktop.org/wireplumber/design/events_and_hooks.html

It’s very funny you say MOV and HEIC are proprietary and then list MP4 considering

• HEIC is just H.265, the video codec, used to encode images
• H.264, the codec used for most mp4 files has the same license as H.265 with patent bullshit license fees going on
• MP4 container is pretty similar to MOV, and is also not an open standard
• this also means MOV and MP4 can be losslessly converted
• Apple provides documentation for MOV format free of charge while ISO really wants you to pay to get official standard PDF
• All this doesn’t matter anyway because ffmpeg can decode everything (though I guess it might matter in bizarro land where software patents are a thing)

Also Android can totally read at least HEIC images. Not sure about MOV. Any of this is also not related to the problem the OP has.

QtWidgets uses software rendering. It’s completely fine on my 4K display except for a single application, KOrganizer, where it actually takes a while to redraw the UI. You can implement hardware rendering badly too (see QtQuick which is noticeably less responsive than QtWidgets)

Not an app, but one thing I can recommend that is pretty much “for free” is to turn on iCloud Advanced Data Protection, that gets you end-to-end encryption for pretty much all iCloud storage (photos and so on).

Everything else I would recommend is probably not going to happen (such as deleting Discord) or of questionable benefits (such as using the web version of Discord instead of what is probably the app) :^)

I’m in a similar situation. Before I had to move all was fine, I had a single ethernet port I plugged my router into. It even had a static IPv4 (even though no IPv6 but I could just use tunnelbroker). Literally perfect.

After I moved I’m now stuck in this horribly designed network that has a stupid internet cafe tier login portal even for wired devices, unencrypted wifi, seemingly every single device from every student on the same network (I am getting blasted with other people’s broadcast packets and I’m pretty sure the network congestion from that is where my weird intermittent packet loss comes from). And now I don’t have any public IP address at all.

Whoever they hired to set this up is an absolute moron who has no idea about network security or how to make an efficient network and considering the internet cafe login portal probably likes to cause as much suffering as possible. (Not saying I’m necessarily qualified but the fact alone that I can connect to other people’s AirPlay devices means they failed at both.)

And the reason all of this is a problem is that they also don’t allow putting a router/firewall in front so I can get a sane network. Had to tear down pretty much all the infrastructure I set up in the old place because a lot of it was relying on me having control over the network. Of course, I knew none of this before I moved in, I was explicitly looking for internet shenanigans in the contract.

I now have a janky Wireguard mesh network setup with one of the machines being the IPv6 gateway. Awful but at least I have public addresses and IPv6 (and with that a bit of my own network space) again.

Me too, Intel

This is designed for Gentoo but I’ve used it for Ubuntu before: https://github.com/TheChymera/mkstage4/

I don’t use a computer from the 90s. It can handle it.

For files? I like title case (like in article headlines). For example, I have a “Shell Tricks.txt”. I’m not really consistent though, sometimes it’s all lowercase or whatever really.

Are they implying the police are accountable for anything?

I agree about Sourceforge but there isn’t really anything better than Bugzilla still, at least not that I’ve seen anyone use.

Well, it’s now an issue with Rust since Cargo makes it a pain in the ass to do. It’s one of the big things that makes me very reluctant to write any sort of system tools in Rust despite being a big fan of the language itself.

Ah, yeah openrc is nice and I used it for a long time with gentoo, but it does lack a lot of the useful features like this one.

As far as I know, that only stops out of date versions of grub that have a certain vulnerability from running that would allow escaping Secure Boot. Meh. It doesn’t touch any Linux files or anything and you can boot if you turn off Secure Boot so you can fix it. Long shot from what used to happen where you could only have one boot loader installed at a time so installing Windows would wipe what was there before.

(and by fix it I mean replace grub with systemd-boot)

Windows doesn’t mess with the Linux install anymore, that was with BIOS boot. Just make sure the EFI partition is big enough so you can fit both.
