Does that effectively hide root? Because the parent repo says it's only "guaranteed" to work for Google apps.

And now, even when your WiFi is off they still turn it on to "help with location tracking." And they're talking about taking away the ability to turn Bluetooth off.

They should just harvest a huge block of ice from a comet and drop it in the ocean.

I've been self hosting for 2 or 3 years and haven't been hacked, though I fully expect it to happen eventually(especially if I start posting my blog in places). I'd suggest self hosting a VPN to get into your home network and not making your apps accessible via the internet unless 100% necessary. I also use docker containers to minimize the apps access to my full system. Best of luck!

I use the Nextcloud News app. It's not as fully featured as others, but it does the job for me. Just requires a lot of setup and has a lot of extra stuff with it if you don't want to actually use all the Nextcloud features.

Overall, Smart Launcher is great. The things that annoy me are mainly things like: Not being able to add multiple app screens and have home in the center, lack of gestures(compared to Nova), and there was also something to do with setting the wallpaper.

My only near dealbreaker is that it's not open source.

I can't wait to see what they come up with next, feature wise, though.

Same, been using Smart Launcher since I heard they were getting bought. No lie, I miss Nova's customizability, and some of Smart Launcher's quirks annoy me; but I vastly prefer it to being data harvested. Smart Launcher is good enough for me, and leaps and bounds better than ANYTHING else I tried.

Learn docker. That should probably be #1. That will open up a world of self hosting options.

If you think they're not going to fight tooth and nail to enforce it in Texas, you don't know Texas. It would probably have to go to SCOTUS.

That depends. How new are you? What do you already know?

Technically a Satanist does too.

edit: though you'd have to "really believe"

Yes, it's unconstitutional....buuut, the shitty way our political system works, somebody would have to sue to get it removed in Texas. Until someone does, they're going to enforce it.

edit: in Texas

I like your moxie. You've got my vote.

We have a law in Texas that an Atheist can't hold office. Really stupid, but it would have to be challenged to get rid of it.

edit: went and looked it up

Article 1, Section 4 of the Texas Constitution states, "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall anyone be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."

I homelab to study and practice, and I switched around 1.19. It's been very smooth for me. Literally just had to change the docker image I was using.

Yep. It's great. Check out:

Awesome job. I watched most of the video and it looks really cool.

This is awesome! Is there a practical use case? Or was this just a fun learning project?

Doubtful. More likely somebody took the sight and put it up there for the pic.

Not sure about the rest of those, but Obsidian isn't OS either.

Yeah, I follow him on Mastodon.

That's who he is!? I just followed him because I liked his posts lol.

Oh totally. I've actually, off and on, been going back and reading some lower reading level books that I missed as a kid. Loved A Series Of Unfortunate Events and The Spook's Apprentice.

After all, I love The Black Cauldron.

I've never read these, but it sounds like I should.

Called it!

I think Rocketchat is what you're looking for.

See, that's the situation where we just don't use them. I'm talking about wiping the original OS and putting something that's really FOSS in its place.

All I'm hearing is that we might be able to hack these devices and put full Linux on them.

Correct, btrfs is a filesystem format.

Just started getting back into Tasker. Glad to see somebody created a community for it before I did!

Nice. I still need to get one of those and get my cameras set up. My server is better equipped to handle Frigate, but that's not all I want to do with it.

That sounds awesome! I just made my first esphome project a bit ago. Seems like that would be a pretty fun one to set up.

Self hosted Bitwarden out of my house. I bought an old server a while back and it's been running like a champ. The official version s a bit cumbersome, but it seems to work really well. No complaints.

Has there been a problem with bad actors on this server yet? I certainly haven't noticed any.

Now just make sure to "keep it secret, keep it safe" by not telling anyone what it is. Still a good chance you could be hacked, but it will keep you somewhat safer.

I may not have enjoyed using their distro, but I'm really happy to see this. They're really popular in the desktop Linux market and it may help to get more users over here in the Fediverse.

I do think that the open sign up could become a problem in regard to bots. That being said, they could just as easily open their own instance.
