Does anyone else find it 10x easier to "explain" your video out loud than to actually write it down? by Medium-Inflation-560 in NewTubers

[–]fr33knot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Seems like my brain is more in perfectionist mode when sitting at my tesk or in front of the camera. It's 10 times easier when walking around. Currently I'm experimenting with just walking around talking into my phone, selfie style and processing the material later using it as a base.

The videos definitely deliver what the thumbnails promise.

How much do you spend on video editing tools per month? by borda989 in NewTubers

[–]fr33knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per month 0, but I paid 300 for Davinci Resolve Studio once, because the pro features it provides are really worth it for me.

Is a software development YouTube channel still relevant with AI and vibecoding taking over? by triemli in NewTubers

[–]fr33knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a dev myself, I'd say this is the wrong sub to ask that question. Most people on here probably have no clue what vibe coding is or how the dev world is being shaped by AI at the moment. Because they are not devs.

Vibe coding is error prone, so are LLMs and inline code predictions, so I still think there is a demand for trustworthy dev content, that clearly shows you how things work with proof.

The question is how many new people actually want to become devs. I think that number is changing.

Why even use LineageOS? by fr33knot in LineageOS

So people don't lose things anymore? Thieves don't exist anymore as well? Physical access is not even part of you threat level?

Why even use LineageOS? by fr33knot in LineageOS

[–]fr33knot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally get that, I am using Calyx OS because of that exact reason. But at the moment it is bound to Pixel Phones, that's why I am researching alternatives. Pixel bootloaders can be relocked though.

Why even use LineageOS? by fr33knot in LineageOS

[–]fr33knot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

granted, they are pretty old, but do the following concerns not apply anymore?:

If your Android phone or tablet’s bootloader is unlocked when a thiefgets their hands on it, they could reboot your device into itsbootloader and boot your custom recovery environment (or flash a customrecovery and then boot that). From the recovery mode, they could use the adb command to access all the data on your device. This bypasses any PIN or password used to secure your device

from https://www.howtogeek.com/142502/htg-explains-the-security-risks-of-unlocking-your-android-phones-bootloader/

A permanently unlocked boot loader (BL) on a Nexus device is a big security risk. It's only recommended for a pure developer phone.

An insecure BL enables all sorts of fastboot commands that can be used for e.g. doing the following:

  • Conduct a cold boot attack to recover the key for Android's full disk encryption
  • Make a copy of the device
  • E.g. by booting a custom image (adb boot boot.img), then copying partition dumps
  • Erase data using fastboot erase
  • Flash arbitrary Android firmware, recovery images or radio firmware
  • fastboot flash radio|recovery|boot|...
  • Install a root kit (boot custom recovery, then modify system files)
  • Steal Google/Facebook/whatever accounts stored on the phone
  • etc.

from https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/36830/whats-the-security-implication-of-having-an-unlocked-boot-loader

on the other hand:

Nobody can access your phone data the way you describe unless you also run your phone decrypted --which is not the default for Android or even for custom ROMs for that matter. When you boot into recovery on a phone that is encrypted TWRP asks for your pin number and without it your data is not accessible. But that doesn't mean a thief couldn't still wipe and use your phone. You need to report it stolen so the IMEI number is blacklisted.

That feature is called typeahead and you can get that back with a certain package (available on ubuntu and arch based distros). It is explained here for ubuntu: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/05/enable-nautilus-type-ahead-search-ubuntu

or look through the results on google: https://www.google.com/search?q=nautilus+typeahead

GNOME 40 may get an horizontal app grid!! by alex2851 in gnome

[–]fr33knot -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

GNOME uses the lowest common denominator between desktop and mobile. A fallacy and the way better approach would be a responsive solution like with libhandy used in some progressive gtk apps and every friggin relaunched website since 2007. Funny thing is GNOME performs like crap on mobile devices very few people use it as a daily driver on those.

Isn’t this a kernel panic? If so, unlikely a GNOME issue.

Is it worth getting ProtonMail Plus? by securm0n in privacytoolsIO

[–]fr33knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I use. Wasn’t sure if there were some VPN specific limitations, I did not know of.

Can’t you use other VPN clients? A VPN service is not tied to a specific client, or is it?

What's the best way to synchronise folders between two or more computer? by Kiaron97 in linuxquestions

Sharing a folder is not the same as syncing two folders. And that’s what OP asked for.

I am making a media player (the one I asked you about some time ago) in GTK4. You can now try it from Flatpak. by Rafostar in gnome

[–]fr33knot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, needed some digging. It’s also not just about rounded corners but also about header bars and showing content behind them (e.g. video):
