I started with Opensuse Tumbleweed about 2 years ago from almost 0 knowledge and never looked back.

What is it with Android, that it constantly wants me to use Live Wallpapers?

I switched to a plain android device from Xiaomi and I really like the calm experience. No ads, no duplicate services etc. But one thing still bothers me: Live Wallpapers.

Why is Android so keen on activating live wallpapers? I didn't want them on my old device and always thought it was a Xiaomi thing. But now I still get a screen every once in a while and after each system update. Why? What's in it for Android that it is so obsessed with fucking live wallpapers that I constantly have to reaffirm that I really REALLY don't want them?

First thing, disable all auto backup on your phone. This is step 1 for anything.

I did, but turns out, it either did not save the setting or has more than one place to deactivate. I tried again and after turning backups off, there was an option to delete all backups from the cloud, wich I did after saving the photos to my pc and I got back some space. Thanks for your help.

I made a backup from my phone. When I tried logging out of Gphotos, the app did not show any photos at all, so I guess I assumed that there are currently no local photos. I was wrong. I just made a backup and found a "delete photos backup from cloud" button and it worked. Thanks.

edit: Also, my second child was born a week ago, so my brain probably/obviously suffers from too little sleep.

My research has been on surface level, but immich was one I was looking at. I'd like to try something without payment, but in the end, a safe place for all my kids photos would be worth it I guess.

edit: Solved.

The title is a bit theatrical. My google account tells me my storage is full and urges me to buy more storage. The problem is, that on my new phone G Photos just started to put all my photos into the cloud.

How can I remove my photos from the cloud without losing them locally on my phone? I tried logging out of Photos, but then I cannot access my photos. I just requested an archive download via takeout.google.com so I hopefully have a backup, but I still need to get rid of all the photos in the cloud to free up the storage.

I recently started a home server and want to move to selfhosted services, but that will take it's time, so for now, I am forced to continue google services.

Can you help me?

What do I actually need? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm in the means of buying a mini pc for selfhosting stuff. My main reasons are sailing the high seas for movies and series and hosting my families photos, videos to escape gdrive. I'm thinking about some kind of DMS / digitalizing paperwork and mail in the future.

I casually look into all kinds of software that could do the task and now I'm a bit overwhelmed. Is owncloud or an alternative enough, or do I need something more elaborated like TrueNAS? But all the NAS Foss stuff seems to run on their own OS. Can my Pirate Ship run on that? I feel like the diversity of solutions is making this very opaque for me.

E-Reader recommendations (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hi,

My Kindle won't boot anymore and keeps getting stuck in boot screen, so I thought this might be a good time to get away from Amazon, even though that device was great.

So, what non-kindle readers would you recommend?

It should have color and background light and it shouldn't be huge so I can keep it in the back pocket.

And, since I don't have any experience outside the Amazon ecosystem: how is the experience of buying and transferring books to non Kindle readers?

Update: I did research based on your recommendations. Thanks for all the input, that was way more than I expected! I settled for the Kobo Clara Color since it seemed to almost perfectly match my needs and Kobo and the model itself got heavily recommended here and on the web.

Hi folks,

I got a new Xbox Series X Controller (Model 1914). I had Xbox One controller before.

With xpadneo installed I had basically no problems running my xbox one controller. It connected via BT with no issues and workes in games really well wired and wireless.

The new controller on the other hand, works really well via cable, but does not connect via BT. I can find it, I can pair it, but I cannot connect to it.

xpadneo readme says Series X needs a BT stick with BLE so I bought one, but that did not solve the problem (I'm not sure if BLE needs to be activated or how to do it rn).

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.

Found some very special "make it look hacky" bash in criminal minds.

But it acts as a Login for the page instead of registering a new account? How would Google do that without the page owners permission?!

Why is my tmux borked? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I've been trying tmux and followed a video that showcases and offers a prebuilt config for styling and plugins. Something happended (guess I did something wrong?) the styling broke and I decided I'll go bare bones and customize to my needs when needed instead of using preconfigured stuff. I deleted all configs and caches I could find with fzf and even reinstalled tmux, but still some broken styling is present and makes it unpleasent to work with. Some of my configs seem to be present even after uninstall, as the prefix is still C-Space instead of the default. There are some oh-my-zsh subfolders that contain tmux. I don't know if those have been there before and I also don't know, if I can delete them without breaking the next thing.

I'm on a MacBook and installed tmux via brew.

Two piles of the same bullshit.

betrachten einige Organisationen wie Behörden das Faxen weiterhin als sichere Methode zur Übertragung von vertraulichen Dokumenten, da die Übertragung einfach direkt von einem Gerät zum anderen erfolgt

Das spricht wirklich erschreckende Bände über das allgemeine Verständnis von "Sicherer Kommunikation".

Hi,

I'm in the weird spot again, where I want to update my Tumbleweed system and am lost in a dependency hell. It more or less occurs once in a while when updates drop and the prompt asks if I want to install stuff from vendor "obs://build.opensuse.org/home:wolfi323" replacing the obsolete stuff from the official openSUSE vendor.

As soon as I read wolfi323, I get fucking Vietnam flashbacks, because it means I will have to decide for ~100 services if I keep the current obsolote version or install the one from wolfi323. Either way, it's gonna fuck up a myriad of dependencies.

All that hassle just to do the same shit all over again because at some point, the official opensuse repos catch up with newer versions.

I could probably wait for the official updates, but it's uncertain, when they are going to drop and I'll just pile up thousands of updates in the meantime.

How do the Tumbleweed Folks among us deal with this?

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago

You're right. Giving 30% for really fucking good platform services is way worse than having to find a publisher that takes in 70 to 90% of revenue and pushes devs to release unfinished games.

Hello, I just startet up my PC and Latte-Dock seems to be gone, not only my local installation, but also the package from zypper. Does someone know whats happening here?

[-] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 71 points 1 year ago

I need the colored one as a sticker to cover that weird square thingy on my super keys.

I just noticed, that my SSD is almost full and I think it is because of all the zypper packages I got installed. I've got another ~100gb SSD thats just for stuff (mounted unter "Misc" says it all) and would like to move some (or all?) of the packages like vscode, podman or other stuff on that second SSD. Is there a way to do that with zypper without removing and installing them again under the new path?
