Yeah my steam input configs are crazy
I have a whole system for desktop navigation which I've grown to really like
I've recently taken to using touchpad touch as a button chord modifier and it is soo nice.
Yeah, that's really the most straightforward solution unfortunately.
In case you're not already familiar look into sunshine/moonlight for quick access to the windows machine
If you need to use abusive windows software while retaining some privacy you really have 2 options:
-
Have a separate PC with windows and your games installed. Isolate your activities so all your normal work and personal stuff is on linux, and then you switch input on your display, or use sunshine/moonlight to access windows when you want to.
-
Use linux and do all your gaming etc. in a windows VM. This is what I do but it is not easy to set up, if you're interested in this idea keep it in mind and come back to it later.
If you're using VM hostile software though which it sounds like you are, #2 becomes even more complicated so I say bite the bullet and do #1.
Dualboot is pretty ass and breaks all the time. I strongly suspect that was part of your issue
If you know what you're doing yes (not guaranteed to work in all games), but you're always at constant threat of being potentially banned.
The info is hard to find but I assure you tons of people play anticheat games in VMs all the time. I personally avoid those games so I don't know the specifics of all the tricks they do to hide the VM.
Being it's a VM I could see some people just restoring from a template if they get banned and not really caring. No way to be hardware banned afaik.
This VM detection and VM anti detection is a reguarly evolving arms race, and some games invest a LOT more effort into staying on top of it than others.
There is no evidence. safety is about staying multiple steps ahead and risk mitigation when possible.
Centralized servers are a single point of failure that could be compromised in the future.
My contact's devices they use signal on are insecure and could be easily compromised in the future.
SMS/Cell network in general are insecure as hell and I avoid it as much as possible.
Why would I expose all that sensitive data when there's literally no need to? Simplex works great for me.
stremio works on ios dude you just have to add the web ui to homescreen and use external player
Yeah, for me personally I'm sticking to simplex. I can get an anonymous sim card, but none of the people I'd be talking to would do that. I don't want this relationship/network map out there at all if I can avoid it.
Huh? You mean manifest v3?
LocalSend can also send installed .apks if you're on android.
Localsend is just awesome in general, use it if you need to send files wirelessly over lan
Since you asked
It's a proprietary closed source flavor of chrome which supports google's monopoly and does not respect your privacy or freedom.
Here is some quick info if you're interested: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/opera

If you don't like that I'd suggest looking at librewolf (firefox/gecko based) or ungoogled chromium (chromium based)
ya the desktop gui is pretty ram hungry as well. It's not perfect but weighing the pros and cons of all available options I have come to like and appreciate simplex quite a bit. The client has also gotten a lot better recently.
The main downside on android for me is the battery drain but I think that is a consequence of me not using google push notifications
Simplex is an option, you can host your own servers and it has crossplatform GUI + CLI
I think it's pretty cool, and it's pretty easy to set up (there are a lot of options you may wanna look at though)
Just wanted to say I'm still using and enjoying this, thank you for providing an onion to us
You don't have to download a cracked .iso, you can download legit windows from microsoft's website, and then use massgrave MAS (Microsoft Activation Script) On github to activate it
Interesting, thank you for letting me know about that.
I wish KDE Connect was able to integrate this feature but I'm sure if it was easy it would already have been done
EDIT: Got GrayJay Fcast set up, pretty cool! Thanks.
As far as the HDMI cord I use that all the time and young people ask "is that aircast?" lol
Hi all,
What do you use to wirelessly project your screen?
I have sunshine / moonlight set up and that works alright but I'm told there are simpler ways and I'm behind the times :p
Is this a thing in FOSS / Linux land? All suggestions welcome and appreciated.
EDIT: I use Graphene on a Pixel 8A
Maybe look into residential proxies
I have a w11 KVM with a 4080 passed through it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be
I highly recommend you try, it's sweet
Hi all, hope you're doing well,
I do a lot of work in various VMs and pass through USB devices to move data around
I would like to be able to instead use localsend and other LAN stuff like SMB/moonlight
What is the best way for me to do this? I thought about doing a wireguard tunnel to the host but figured I'd ask in case there's a better way
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I'm having a bad day and did something colossally stupid, deleting everything from /boot/.
The system is still running. What do you think my best course of action is?
My current idea is to create a timeshift backup, reinstall debian from USB, then restore from backup in timeshift
If this won't work or you have a better idea I would really appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I’ve recently moved to pixel/graphene and I’m looking for a more open replacement for spotify.
I installed a bunch from F-droid to test (newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic, etc)
I'm testing them all but I'm a bit overwhelmed with choice.
I've heard of 'cracked spotify' apks but not sure what the deal is with those or how trusted they are
I’d like to find something that lets me control the music from my desktop, either through KDE connect or a standalone app. FOSS / F-droid preferred.
I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts

EDIT: I'm not interested in a paid subscription service, if I was ok with that I would have stayed on spotify. Thanks for all responses.
Hello all,
I have recently moved to pixel/graphene, and am looking to dump spotify.
On desktop I use Freetube and Nuclear which I really like, but I haven't found a good way to sync with mobile.
On the android side I have newpipe, pipepipe, libretube, RiMusic, SpMp, SimpmMusic, InnertTune, ViMusic.....
I'm a bit overwhelmed with options.
I've heard of cracked spotify apks but I'm not sure what the deal is with those
With that in mind please give recommendations or explain your solution. KDE connect integration is a nice plus some of these apps have but I'd be ok with using a standalone application as long as I can somehow control the music on either device.
I plan to start maintaining my library locally but I still need some kind of streaming solution.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
Hi all,
Sorry for the foolish question but I have to make a quick decision here and trust you to point me in the right direction.
I am about to buy a google pixel phone second hand with cash. (for graphene, not gonna use a sim)
1: What things do I need to be on the lookout for? How can I quickly verify it is unlocked/rootable?
2: Any recommendations on where to buy? I've never used stuff like FB market, craigslist, etc. but I think those places would be my best bet. Please tell me if you have a better idea.
Thanks in advance and hope you have a good rest of your day
EDIT: Graphene in hand! Good to be back on custom roms, rocked cyanogenmod for a long time
Thanks guys

I know this is an outrageously bad idea, I don't need convincing. I am just looking for some more information and discussion on what exactly the exposure and surveillance risk is.
I'm asking both for my own education (I am still very green to networking), and to better explain to people in my life if and why they should care.
-
Is it true that traffic can be tracked and logged by ISP through DNS lookups, as these routers are preconfigured to use their internal dns service?
-
If this is changed (like base.dns.mullvad.net), how much does this actually mitigate the risk here?
-
What about when a VPN (mullvad) is also being used at all times? Would it then be "overly paranoid" to fear this untrusted box all the traffic goes through?
I personally take a conservative approach to things like this and assume it's an unacceptable risk, but I don't really understand what the truth is.
Thank you in advance for your time and thoughts.
EDIT: I'm asking about US and US adjacent areas

Hello all,
Just wondering if there are any projects involving lemmy and .onion
I searched and didn’t see anything but I figured I’d ask
If not is there a reason this isn’t possible? Or has nobody cared to do it yet?
When I have to visit r****t I use a libreddit hidden service, and there are quite a few to choose from. Am I correct to think a similar mirror should be about as easy to implement for Lemmy?
an onion only instance where it never touches the clearnet would be really cool too but it would probably be a ghost town (sadly).
Love to hear your thoughts
Thanks

Hello,
I'm trying to send something to my gf's friend (~50gb)
I tried creating my own torrent and was able to dl it on another device, but on her machine it stayed at 0% and wouldn't let me connect to seed
Is FTP a good option? I set up a proxmox server last night but I don't really know what I'm doing yet
Any guidance greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hello,
I set up Stremio + Real Debrid for my girlfriend and we have been really enjoying it.
Since we use different VPNs at the moment, I had the idea to create a VM with stremio and a connection to the same server she's connected to.
The idea being we could use the debrid account simultaneously and have the same IP.
I quickly realized that the last digit of our client IPs were 0-3 digits off from each other, IE:
185.243.218.89 vs 185.243.218.90
Upon seeing this I stopped and checked the debrid account/email to check for a warning and saw nothing.
Question 1: Is this safe/acceptable, or is this considered breach of debrid TOS?
Question 2: Would configuring a VPN on our router solve this issue? Or would it be the same situation?
I'm a bit of a networking idiot as you can see but I'm on a journey to learn.
Thanks in advance
