smileyhead , to technology in Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

We can say that for any kind of drivers needed to run a mobile phone.\ Manufacturers of components are less and less providing any documentation, just throw a binary blob and say “put it in your Android build”.

smileyhead , to technology in Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

A reminder that if something can run Android or ChromeOS doesn’t mean drivers would be available for Linux. And usually they aren’t.

smileyhead , to technology in Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore

Linux can run Android apps since we have Waydroid too and it’s universal, no need for single device - single OS nonsense.

smileyhead OP , to linuxmemes in mv Windows Linux

To be honest I do not like PDF readers being bundled in browser’s binaries, I see web rendering engines themselfs as a pile of legacy impossible to rewrite spaghetti.
Qutebrowser for example has PDF.js as an optional, installable dependency. I guess Firefox can be recompiled without PDF support, if someone wants to save those… 3MB. But just that my Linux mind has slight aversion to bundling stuff in single binary, because on Linux installing 1 or 100 programs if they are packaged takes the same time.

Ah. And some commands for PDFs are really useful :P.
For example I used convert file.jpg file.pdf to upload couple of documents I had scanned as pictures but website required a PDF extension.

I2PD is an implementation is I2P, a way to anonymously share Disney’s IP without showing anyone IP to the ISP.

What I am trying to say, partially. But they are not even “Linux”.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

I had to migrate shop from WooCommerce to PrestaShop.
The store is for both Poland and Germany, so two countries, two different currencies, languages and tax zones. With WooCommerce every simple thing like multicurrency requires a plugin. Then you need a plugin for multiple languages, then for multiple tax zones, then multiple client bases (retail and B2B)…
With PrestaShop all of we needed for that basic but two-country store was a payment plugin.

smileyhead , to selfhosted in How do I setup my own FOSS shopping website for my business?

I have created a couple of small stores and being FOSS lover myself I can give some advice.

First, your options are WooCommerce or PrestaShop and alike. Don’t fall into being idealist and JS-free now, because there is no software suite on the market that is going to give you that. Except payment provider, it can be done, but you would need to write e-commerce software from scratch yourself and I guess this is not in your capacity. Both of them have no trackers, just choose a lightweight theme because some third-party themes include fonts or scripts from Google-alike because of lazyness. You can use build-in ones and modify them. PrestaShop themes are much easier to modify, because those are Twig templates instead of full PHP scripts. WooCommerce is GPL so plugins must be free software too, but many of them are from shitty devs who provide only obfuscated scripts, so you must check each plugin by yourself. PrestaShop plugins are more often proprietary, but you need much less of them, as almost everything internal is out-of-the-box. With Presta you need payment provider plugin and basically that’s it, while on Woo every single thing like different tax for a region would require a web of plugins.

After some time with both my scheme is: WooCommerce if you have a blog-style website and just want to sell something as a bonus. PrestaShop if you start a real small or big businesses and selling is the primary goal.

As for VPN, what can I say other than this is not sustainable. You are literally selling stuff with your name so there is no privacy or freedom benefit with additional routing. Just get an ISP offering a public IP (not beind a NAT) and open a firewall port. Or if you cannot do that, rent a VPS. I don’t see a point in anonymity here, pure clearnet is more than enough for shopping for physical thighs.

And I say this as a quite hard level FOSS person. My machines are all on Linux, being able to connect Yggdrasil, I2P, Tor at once, with seedbox running 24/7 and tracker blockers everywhere.
In commerce, there is no point to fight here, just use the popular thing and not make it worse than vanilla, that’s it.

iframes?

smileyhead , to linux in Linux is now an option for safety-minded software-defined vehicle developers

And so what?

Many things are based on Linux that does not mean anything for the customer, because those end up being heavly modified version being able to run just on this specific chip and only support vendor provided software on top.

My TV runs Android, so Linux kernel, but can I reinstall it and run some Debian with Kodi bypassing all the spyware Android crap? Heck no.

smileyhead OP , to linuxmemes in mv Windows Linux

Progress bars are handled by the applications themselves

Yes, but OS must tell the application how much of the operation is done

immediate flushing does not increase storage lifespan

I was trying to say the opposite. Caching/buffering is what longers the lifespan and can speed system up

Data that someone don’t have.

smileyhead , (edited ) to selfhosted in Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

May be lightweight, but why there has to be one?

Just joking.
