I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
I wish more projects delved into this amount of detail in regards to donations and financial plans. Thank you for the effort and for using Open Collective.
Fair enough. Do you know if leadership prefers the offer of hardware donations handled a certain way or can I just make an offer here on Lemmy ?
That's good to hear. Are there any specific team members who are working on the device ports or are they in more need of hardware donations at this point ?
RISC-V Support
Are there any plans to support RISC-V devices in PMOS ?
Can Anybody Recommend a Dock ?
Normally I use Mate with Plank but on Alpine I couldn't find Plank. Can anybody else recommend a dock replacement that Alpine does have ? Currently I am using XFCE in the mean time as it comes with a dock but I do miss Mate and prefer it.
Error When Trying to Use Pmbootstrap on EMMC for RockPro64
I plugged in a blank EMMC to my system via the Pine64 EMMC-USB adapter. I ran pmbootstrap and got to the step where I typed
"pmbootstrap install --disk=/dev/sdb --fde".
The error I got was
"ERROR: Command failed (exit code 4): (native) % cryptsetup luksFormat -q --cipher aes-xts-plain64 --iter-time 200 --use-random /dev/installp2"
Any ideas ? I'm using version 3.1 of pmbootstrap and am on an Artix system. Some other info:
Channel: v24.12 (pmaports: v24.12) Device: pine64-rockpro64 (aarch64) UI: mate systemd: no (not supported by pmaports branch)
I also attached a screenshot.
I use BTRFS on my Artix system, Ext4 on my Librem 5, Ext4 on my Devuan laptop and Ext4 on my Pinebook Pro. Basically when given the choice in the installer I choose BTRFS but if the installer doesn't let me pick I don't care enough to manually partition. I have had no negative experiences with any file system luckily so I just roll with whatever.
One of the reasons I prefer GOG is that I don't want to use a client. I prefer to download offline installers and then run my games through Lutris or Heroic Games Launcher.
Psensor Alternative
I usually use Psensor to monitor temperatures but it's not available on Guix yet. Can anybody recommend an alternative that does work on Guix ?
Installing Over Ubuntu Touch
If I had a device that I wanted to install Droidian on but it had Ubuntu Touch on it currently would I need to install Android first or will the installer still work ? Specifically asking regarding the Volla 22 and the OnePlus 6T
I could say I know because i'm an elite haxxor but it would be a lie. I'm not even at script kiddie level.
I've never had this happen to me but I am always on a a Degoogled version of Android such as GrapheneOS, DivestOS or /e/ OS.
Still using KeepassXC on desktop and laptop and KeePassDX on mobile.
I have never used Discord and never will. No project has ever been able to change my stance on it.
I used the automatic options for disk partitoning so i'm unsure.
A libre version of Devuan. It uses the libre kernel by default and doesn't ship with any closed source programs or drivers in the repos.
Yep that is accurate.
Error When Booting GNUinos
I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.
Any Way to Use Plank on Guix ?
I had installed Guix with Mate as my DE but a big part of my desktop experience is having Plank as my dock. I don't see it in the package list on the Guix website. Am I mistaken or is Plank not usable on Guix ? Any recomendations for alternatives ?
I use KeePassXC which doesn't charge a cent for this.
I don't know if Firefox's is safe but I use and love KeePassXC:
Red Eclipse or Xonitic for me
Does it do this for uBlock Origin ?
I am wondering if I understand this right. Does this mean that all blobs will be loaded regardless of your hardware ?
No worries about digging up the wording. Thank you for your response. While I do prefer Open Collective I don't fault you for their rules. I see you accept donations using Github and Liberapay so those work fine for me as alternatives.
Open Collective Donations
I see that ntfy has an Open Collective but I don't see the option to donate using that. Will ntfy change this in the future ?
Question About Updating
I recently installed Guix in hopes of learning to use it. I wanted to update the system and gathered from the reference card that the proper command was "guix pull". My issue is that while no error message is given this didn't seem to update anything after. One thing that makes me think this is that I'm still on the 6.0.10 kernel as I was before. Am I doing this wrong ?
I use Pragma-Messenger. It's based out of Switzerland. Never seen it go down and I use it daily so i'd call it stable. The site's in German so you may have to use a translate extension in your browser if you don't read German.
Linux System Store in Africa; Russia; or Latin America ?
I had a person ask me the other day if I knew of any stores that sell hardware with Linux preinstalled in Africa; Latin America or Russia and I couldn't think of any. I know plenty in Europe; U.S.A. and Canada but none for those places. Do any of you know of any ? They didn't mean stores that will ship there but stores that are based there.
Dasharo Update Question
I recently received my MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 motherboard from Dasharo. It came with version 1.0 which from what I understand has a different update process than later versions. Am I correct in understanding that I need to open a Terminal and type in "flashrom -p internal -w [path] --ifd -i bios" substituting the path bit there with the actual path to the file I downloaded ? Figured I would ask first before diving in.
Swiss Based Server
Does anybody know of a Swiss based server for Matrix ?
FOSS Alternative to PastPerfect
Can anybody reccomend a FOSS replacement for the museum software PastPerfect ? Needs to be available for Windows 10. I was able to find CollectiveAccess and CollectionSpace but neither seem very easy to get setup. “CollectiveAccess” for instance needs to be built from source. This museum has novices at best when it comes to tech.
