Ah yes that makes sense. I do have a small number of flatpaks installed

I actually use Hyprland and I also have Hyprcursor installed, but for some reason there are like 3-4 different cursors depending on which program I’m using

I don’t know if these are wayland cursors or not, but I’m using Polarnight

Ebay

I imagine their source code is such an unmaintainable mess that it’s impossible to modernize

Can’t speak for OP but I was also attempting this and couldn’t get it working. My use case is that CF tunnels make multiple of my self hosted services available on the Internet via HTTPS and without directly exposing my home IP.

It does however mean that even when I use a service on my home network, everything is being proxied through CF which makes things much slower than they need to be 90% of the time. So my idea is to use caddy in parallel to CF and have a local DNS server point to my homelab, thereby circumventing the proxy whenever I’m on my home network.

But like I said I could not get this working just yet.

I switched from Android to iPhone a month ago and the Nextcloud app can definitely access & sync all photos & videos just fine.

So far I have not noticed any problems with background sync but I do also open the Nextcloud app frequently so that might have something to do with it. I guess a workaround could be to set up a shortcut which opens Nextcloud whenever the phone is connected to a charger during the night, for example.

Lastly I just want to add that it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows on Android either. From my own experience photo sync never worked reliably on whichever phone I was using (Huawei, LG, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, …). And let’s not forget that each manufacturer is also trying to push their own gallery & backup solution to lock you in. Even worse, some manufacturers like Microsoft have this mishmash where you have OneDrive for photo sync but then also Google Photos which you can’t uninstall and keeps begging you to please back up all your stuff and then pay for more storage. It’s the same BS as Apple with their iCloud tbh.

What about OneDrive or NextCloud? They offer photo uploads

I have the same experience unfortunately in Europe. Was looking for a new hairdryer the other day, and it’s just endless pages of the same Chinese crap with made up brand names and fake customer reviews.

Gave up and drove to the store instead.

Thank you! I had no clue what to even search for but your comment pointed me in the right direction.

I spent the past hour setting this up and it almost works, but for some reason when I boot I only see something like “Loading initramfs” and then just a black screen and nothing happens. If I mash the escape key before I reach the black screen then plymouth works and I see the logo and LUKS password prompt.

In the past I wanted to use auto unlock via TPM, however it seems quite complicated to set up and the Arch wiki advises against it anyway, so I just enter the password during boot.

The one improvement I would like to make here is to have a nicer input (visually) like Fedora but I’m not sure how this is done and how I could replicate that on Arch.

ICYMI the “simple” apps were sold to some shovelware company and will require a subscription soon (or maybe they already do). So you might want to look for an alternative if that’s what you are using.

Literally everyone I know uses WhatsApp. It’s probably been over a decade since I last sent or received an actual SMS (except for 2FA codes).

It’s on my todo list I swear

Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem. On the left is Firefox and on the right Thorium (Chromium). I’ve had this problem on Windows before but now I’m using Linux and it’s the same unfortunately.

Because bold fonts look weird in Firefox and I have not found a way to change that

I keep reading this all the time but I have the same setup and I don’t understand what’s supposedly wrong or broken with it. It just seems to work fine. What am I missing here?

Well, if you visit Youtube to watch a video, it will serve both the video and the ads from the same website. Ads are not necessarily being loaded from another website. If they were, we could just DNS-block YouTube ads, and they would be gone in your entire home network, for instance.

Of all the reasons I’ve heard for not using Manjaro, this is definitely a first

Does screensharing even work at all? I could not get it to work so far on Wayland KDE

I did not own one before, this is my first ever Samsung phone. So I can’t tell what they might or might not do in 6 years. Owning a phone for that long would be a first for me though. So far, all the Android phones I owned would stop receiving updates long before that.
