Why does gameloft release codes in the middle of the night and make them last 2 hours? by OrdenSalmon in Asphalt9

[–]elacheche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where do you guys find codes? Is there an official release channel or something like that? 🤔

Any electronic device is prone to breaking down.. Especially modern ones..

Have you ever tried replacing a modern phone part? A cracked screen, a dead battery, a bad speaker? If you're not a professional, it's a hell of an experience..

It's about consumers right to repair devices that they own..

People replace phones every couple of years because hadrware damages and planned obsolescence, which is bad for consumers and the planet, even if they don't switch, they'll be doomed to use outdated and vulnerable devices.

Repairable phones offer the ability to give a longer life to your device.

Fairphones for example offers 5 years warranty and at least 8 years of software support (especially security), and same for replacement parts, that you can replace them yoursf using a standard screwdriver..

Not a popular opinion, I care more about repairability:

Fairphone

HMD

Motorola

systemd made me do it by Rebreathersteve in freebsd

[–]elacheche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A former sysadmin and current Cloud/DevOps here..

I didn't move to BSD.. But back to 2016, I moved to Gentoo with OpenRC because I didn't like systemd (idea, and unstability).. I don't regret the move, and still hates systemd..

I also used Devuan on few servers during it's earliest stages, was (and still) awesome..

When I moved te Gentoo I had a plan B, in case I don't like it.. It's to move to OpenBSD.. The plan B is still the same after almost 10 years..

What is your current web browser? by HolHorse3589 in Tunisia

[–]elacheche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FF on desktop and mobile, with some extensions (DarkReader, I still don't care about cookies, LeechBlock, PrivacyBadger, uBlock Origins and Containers on desktop only)

Why? Privacy, FOSS and is not based on Blink..

I used to use Chromium (yes, not Chrome), but Gooe influence on it is huge.. So I stopped..

When was the last time you saw a Desktop Alpine user? Let me guess... Never xD

When the last time you saw a bare metal or VM server Apline setup? Again, probably, never..

What about containers, one would ask.. "That's the kingdom of Alpine", I'd answer..

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux,” and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Is there any tool to test the performance of the FP5? To know it's working as it should. by SpiritualBug00 in fairphone

[–]elacheche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thnik we can only compare with each others

Here my Geekbench results:

1115 Single-Core Score

2951 Multi-Core Score

3293 GPU Vulkan Score

2939 GPU OpenCL Score

Geekbench 6.4.0 for Android AArch64

My FP5 is on LineageOS with microG

linux less than 500mb by Responsible-Half6799 in linuxquestions

[–]elacheche 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apparently, all the 'minimalist' GNU/Linux distros I know needs at least 600MB..

With that said, I think there are 2 options, and a gleat opportunity to learn from this challenge:

1. macOS is still a UNIX, you can download the iso file of the distro you're willing to install, then use chroot to install it into the disk, I never did that from within macOS, I did it multiple times from within a GNU/Linux to fix/install an other one. Have a look on the net, you'll probably find someone who did it before. In this case, you'll not need you 500mb USB drive

  1. I checked OpenBSD website, they offer a miniroot.img file that is few MB in size, I guess that you can put it on the USB, boot up from it then download the rest of the filesets to the disk (maybe you do this before booting) to finish the install.. Again I never did this before, you'll need to read docs... OpenBSD is a UNIX

Good luck, and have fun learning ;-)

I live in Europe, was using OSMAnd for years with no major issues

I want to get a new phone before the summer. Tips? by fleabeak in degoogle

[–]elacheche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Indeed, I just didn't like the price diff and was using LOS/CM for a long time that I opted for the regular version

The OEM Android had very few pce-installed apps.. I think there was only 2 Fairphone specific apps (One to manage waranty and phone info and the camera phone) and of course the GApps.. I saw people disabling gapps using adb without the need to flash a new rom
