steam-presence: A script that takes the game you're playing on steam and displays it on discord (github.com)

I just found this cool utility a couple days ago and have found that it’s a great solution to sandboxed versions of Discord being unable to provide rich presence. It’s a Python script that queries the Steam web API to get info to forward to Discord’s API. The “installer” sets up a systemd service that will auto-run the...

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Strongly recommend it. It even automatically fetches icons for the games via SteamGridDB (Even if they could totally just fetch it from Steam). Ain’t really a fix for games using Proton, however, or making sandboxed Discord versions to get those local RPC implementation, just an alternative and more efficient way to show what you play on Steam.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

It doesn’t make use of the games original Discord RPC integrations, and their more-in-depth game details that it can bring. See github.com/…/Enabling-Discord-Rich-Presence or github.com/EnderIce2/rpc-bridge for ways to fix it.

  • Desktop only (The phone app is somehow worse then the Discord app, see the Steam Chat rating).
  • No bots or advanced moderation
  • Steam restricted Are enough reason why it’s usage has been limited. Still decent to use for a couple of people but lackluster to what Discord propose.

I would say this is the Ultimate list. Older cataloging project and still updated to this day with ~>3900 entries. https://www.lebottindesjeuxlinux.tuxfamily.org/en/home-en/Hi @Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux

Exactly, My lemmy client failed the link markdown or i forgot something

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

It is. If well maintained, upstream/identical in features compared to the Windows one, and have some same degrees of support possible with it; I think it’s better than running it via Proton. But both is good, was still worth showcasing that find.

Backup Game Saves Solutions?

Hiya, quick question! Do you have a system for backing up or game save files? I recently discovered GameVault, but the client seems to be a bit unfinished, from first glance, do correct me if I’m wrong. Are there any other similar clients like this? And or simple solutions for easy finding save files and backing them up?...

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Quick question : What is your need of using Windows drives ? (Except if you are dual-booting, in that case, except for specific modding cases, why would you want to use it/mount it on Linux ?)

For my own curiosity, you can generally install all Windows games via wine easily (except counter-claims)

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

*on Lemmy. Except if you really meant to ask for Lemmy contributors.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Interested by that book. Heard about those individual facts but want to learn more about it !

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Spotify Lite for you, and me.

[SOLVED] Games not running

I have a problem with Borderlands 2 and Portal. If I run native version game crashes soon after launching. If I run Windows version with Proton game doeasn’t launch at all. I tried solutions from ProtonDB but none of them worked. I’m new to Linux gaming so I’m not sure what to do....

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Little note, the Borderlands 2 Linux & Mac port as been abandonned …aspyr.com/…/360020727692-Borderlands-2-Linux-FAQSo, do consider switching to the Windows version version via Proton for co-op play, HD Texture pack support and that last DLC too.

Well, i believe in all showcased cases from people here, they are NOT replacing sudo entirely (Except if some are from BSD or if I’m incorrect with this assumption). They are just replacing their user habit with doas and use that command instead. In the end, all unix scripts or apps expect using sudo (If not, su) so… ### What’s even the need to ?

  • Size : Installed on top of the already system present sudo.
  • Security : Only perhaps if you made a sudo alias to doas (But since it isn’t entirely 1:1 identical, if anyone have a cleaner way of implementing that, I’m all hear)
  • Simplicity : You now have two tools. A easy to use keycard, and a key. The second is more complicated to use, so you use it rarely but it’s still two tools instead of one.
  • Less dependencies : Again, unless you can actually replace it ENTIRELY, it’s just an added tool (Still almost dependency free)

Really looking to corrections if i do some

Sadly still stuck on the OG lemmy.ml. Still waiting impatiently to be able to migrate my account to an another smaller instance.

Oooh :c

And even that advantage can be minimized by getting any bundle of privacy products, like Proton which offer all of those (Mail, VPN, Drive, Calendar) or even with your self-hosted VPS (Some VPS seller even allow you to prepare it with Nextcloud and a VPN relay for near no extra paiement).

I see the “pay once to one company”, but you also need to trust them entirely, for EVERYTHING.

Also, there’s already plenty of companies doing such thing (regardless of how practical/private/secure they are)

I absolutly love open ear bone conduction headphones. Really help getting to your surrounding without any audio leak from your headphones. Too bad that i never found one who didn’t broke. Shockz ones broke the neck security thing and the left ear headphone. JBL ones can’t be recharged anymore onto the right one, as it seems that the earphone doesn’t connect fine with the pins in the charging case anymore. And i even tried a cabled one, hoping this one would break as easily. The cable broke connection and it only work if you hold the cable at a specific angle (unusuable in most usages)

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

I mean, it could also just be me too. I forgot the ticket for the shokz. Bought it “reconditioned” by Amazon for the JBL (and not possible to be repaired by JBL in that case). I would suggest you one tip from those with a back ring security thing, don’t lay on the back with it. Even if you rotate it to the entire back of your neck. I didn’t broke it there for those that obviously, but i feel it may have loosened it.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Because most don’t bother with having a billboard for a thing they already paid for. Even if the question of “Wow, what is that phone ?” could just be answered by the one who bought it, by themselves, instead of the interested to check out the logos and markings.

Thanks for the tip ! To be fair, I haven’t even checked the result and missed on it.

Beat the main purpose of GrapheneOS. Open the phone to a broad lot of security issues.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold , (edited )

www.reddit.com/r/GrapheneOS/comments/…/ji54e19/?u…

If you have the UI layer able to grant root access, it has root access itself and is not sandboxed. If the UI layer can grant it, an attacker gaining slight control over it has root access. An accessibility service trivially has root access. A keyboard can probably get root access, and so on. Instead of a tiny little portion of the OS having root access, a massive portion of it does.

In the verified boot threat model, an attacker controls persistent state. If you have persistent root access as a possibility then verified boot doesn’t work since persistent state is entirely trusted.

A userdebug build of AOSP or GrapheneOS has a su binary and an adb root command providing root access via the Android Debug Bridge via physical access using USB. This does still significantly reduce security, particularly since ADB has a network mode that can be enabled. Most of the security model is still intact. This is not what people are referring to when they talk about rooting on Android, they are referring to granting root access to apps via the UI not using it via a shell.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Proove us that you can get better security while remaining able to be fully modified with other phones and brands. www.privacyguides.org/en/android/#divestos

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

That’s the main issue really, as it open the possibility to manage your device for anyone getting hold of it. Probably some debug attack methods also with it.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Sadly, can’t be re-locked. Would have loved to get a Motorola if it was.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Only big manufacturers can really pay to control entirely the hardware inside it, and allow you to modify it. Checkout Fairphone for example. They’ve been forced to stop hardware security updates due to their chip manufacturer, who refused to continue supporting it, despite them trying to support their devices for plenty more years. This explains the choice with Google.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Just logical. If you gain the privilege to modify system bits, then it just open the potential for attacks abusing root access. And it has been done already. You are just removing one step for them. bleepingcomputer.com/…/loki-trojan-infects-androi…bleepingcomputer.com/…/highly-advanced-spydealer-…bleepingcomputer.com/…/new-abstractemu-malware-ro…promon.co/…/fjordphantom-android-malware/

The actual Magisk prompt that ask you if you want to give root to such app. This UI layer. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/2817f64d-a189-418c-823c-5bbaadbc89da.jpeg

Although, i suppose it could be countered by explicitly refusing all requests or enabling a biometric confirmationhttps://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/fbd9b920-0bbc-409b-9cae-1e98b9428ed4.jpeg

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

It still create an attack vector, as it allows a potential extra method to get access to it, in addition of potential hardware exploits that i shared to gain root. Yes, you can minimize the risks correctly, but the user is the only real barrier against it, not the software anymore. The less potential way to exploit your phone, the better it is. You shouldn’t rely on thinking that such feature is fully attack-proof.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Just higher standards.

Doesn’t seems like it. Had some difficulties finding it, because it’s mostly only on Telegram

Two. One classic one and a specific rectangular neck position pillow. I had used only one pillow for years until i met one of my ex. She had around 7 pillows around her bed and used them aplenty, almost as she never wanted to touch the actual bed surface with her head.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Sadly, it hasn’t been updated for more than 2 years, Including the blocklist database. gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker_dataIt seemed to have just used the ShouldIAnswer database, which would have been my suggestion (Even if it isn’t open-source and does more than just block Geo-cals)

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Fairly certain Silence does allow you to block those. If not, it got plenty of other block options. And it’s Free and Open Source !

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Indeed. YACB : Yet Another Call Blocker and SAI : Should I Answer

Same issue. With Gamescope too.

Baldur’s Gate 3, Lethal Company, Sons of trhe Forest. Oh, and there’s Palworld recently too.

github.com/reMarkable/linuxAt that, there are ways to hack it of course (Fairly certain it “ruins” some returns/warranty policies, but if you can in those cases, you can easily revert the modified bits if needed)

tl;dr : if you want to try to hack it safely, heads up to : remarkable.guide

If you would like to run a pre-made Debian chroot on it. Saw other distros from other users github.com/Eeems-Org/remarkable-debian-chroot

If you would like to use (Not fully replace for stability/recovery concerns) another launcher which is MIT licensed github.com/Eeems-Org/oxide

You can install the “vanilla” (minus extra bits) kernel via Toltec https://toltec-dev.org/stable/#section-launchers

Aaaand, if you want to go the full libre way, there’s a port of parabola on it sold here www.davisr.me/projects/parabola-rm/Article here hackaday.com/…/a-free-software-os-for-the-remarka…

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Yes.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

If you want something a little easier to install, and especially, allow fixing a couple of those issues safely, and automatically, you can try antidot .

xdg-ninja do already use the antidot rules natively, it’s mostly for those who don’t want to manually do the safest/easiest of fixes. It should be safe to use alongside xdg-ninja.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Oh, there’s a third way. Like DuckDuckGo & Qwant for example. Just have sponsored ads unrelated to you, or ads related to the specific search only (Without detailing your actual search terms to the one buying the ads) and selected companies in such “store” articles results.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

grapheneX github.com/grapheneX/grapheneXUnrelated to grapheneOS

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

And, that their UPlay (Don’t care aboyt the rename) launcher is probably one of the other companies, useless launcher which work the best via wine.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Also suggest the advice of getting an external audio interface. That wy, no drivers shenanigans, as it should be. For me, an Audio-Technica AT2020 XLR works great. Been using some cheap Tonor ones before too.

PoorPocketsMcNewHold ,

Happy with such announcement. In either case, I would have continued to play it via Community servers either way.
