Does this work for flatpak version? Keep in mind this app is mostly installed as a flatpak nowadays.

AI Comes to Open Source eBook Reader Calibre in c/linux@programming.dev

AI is not only capable of definitions. In fact... You wouldn't use it for that. But It's terribly good at context. So it can interpret a whole phrase, or paragraph. Maybe calibre even passes the book metadata so it can infer characters, places and broader context.

This just makes it faster, and convenient, you don't have to get out of your book.

Well, have you ever read something and went "what the hell is this?", "I don't get this", "what is an abubemaneton?". Well, now you'll be able to quickly ask AI about it.

You know it doesn't take 0 seconds. Record yourself. If you are studying or something (and need AI comments somehow), it's a good feature.

Okay, see you when inevitably all the Android forks keep working fine with sideloading allowed. 😘

I think main actually makes more sense. Talking about archetype, prototypes, "original"... Makes no sense in branch development.

Just call it main. This will make sense for any kind of development.

Are OpenShot and/or Shotcut good video editors? in c/foss@beehaw.org

I am a Kdenlive lover. It works great. Has plenty of options and even a "community store" of effects, render configs, etc, but for your case you won't even need to go that far.

If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Mind that I am very noob into self-hosting, reverse proxies and the like

When I saw that Caddy automatically handled the HTTPS thingies I was like "this is my moment then to go into self-hosting". Caddy seemed so simple.

Turns out... I am suddenly discovering that the connection between the caddy machine and the Home Assistant machine (both in the local network) is non-encrypted. So if another appliance in my local network went rogue... bum, all my info gets leaked... right?

This might sound weird because it might actually be super-duper complicated but... how come in 2025 we still don't auto-encrypt local comms?

Please be kind. Lot's of love. Hopefully I'll dig my way to self-hosting wisdom.

Is there a way I can make my XMPP (Conversations) messages synced to my desktop? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.

I am really considering moving from Arch to Fedora. What's your experience with this? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

Is there something like Torrentio without Stremio? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

Could someone publish a torrent under I2P to avoid being identified? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

That's basically it.

Are you excited about the new voice product? Any leaks? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

It could be the thing that makes Home Assistant suddenly interesting for many ""normies"".

What's the command to keep screen awake (prevent lockscreen)? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

What's up with Overture Maps? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

Any AI tool to analyse a git repo for malicious code? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

I am talking about this kind of livestream.

It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.
