How are you using it remotely? VNC?

Perhaps the server config started defaulting to XFCE. Maybe what happened is entire XFCE DE got marked as a dependency, installed during update, and then when some config defaulting to XFCE thanks to this became valid, you ended up here.

If it’s VNC, what do you have in ~/.vnc/xstartup? Maybe a line like xfce4-session &?

Mine is

AppImage > Native repos > AUR > Manually compiling from source > Finding an alternative

I don’t like installing software that doesn’t need to be installed, thus I like AppImage. Pretty portable. That also applies to compiling from source. Yes, my home directory is a mess.

But is it an SD card.

I mean, the directory name says so, but…

<span style="color:#323232;">~ $ realpath /sdcard
</span><span style="color:#323232;">/storage/emulated/0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">~ $
</span>

…it may also not be.

user224 , 11 days ago

I am talking about some devices using /sdcard to mount internal storage.

user224 , 11 days ago

something that isn’t an SD card to the /sdcard directory?

Could be.

On my phone (Poco X3 Pro - stock Android 11, MIUI 12) the /sdcard is a symlink pointing to /storage/self/primary which itself is a symlink pointing to /storage/emulated/0, which is /data/media, the user-accessible portion of internal storage.
Though from what I can find it anyway is just emulated FAT filesystem which is actually ext4 under that.

Something about backwards compatibility as the directory used to actually be used for SD cards in the past.

Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.

Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.

Based on what I’ve heard about the US’s 988, it may rather be negative.

Oh, you’re thinking of killing yourself, let us reinforce that by being absolutely rude, or better yet, time to get taken away by cops into a psych ward.

Let’s see what’s out there with some example (Reddit)
Summary: Person called 988, police showed up 90 minutes later, got taken for mandatory psychological evaluation, forced to stay 2 days in ER, ended up getting billed $6,470.

I would recommend actually getting into contact with your crush. You could then establish means to use OTP and won’t need to trust your friend at all.

You know, exchange each in and out OTP keys each of you will use, agree on a checkerboard to use, write a codebook for common words/phrases you will use, how you’ll notifiy the other party of potentially compromised key(s).

Termux on Android.

I’ve got some videos on my phone I might want to watch on random computers, so I serve them up with NGINX. I’ve got wget-created mirrors of some old websites on my phone, so I serve them up with NGINX. Other files I may want to move out from my phone to untrusted computers on the network can too be served up simply by NGINX.
I’ve got the full Wikipedia zim file from Kiwix on my Micro SD card, so I run kiwix-serve (behind NGINX).
I’ve got all the music on my phone, naturally the phone is then running my Navidrome server (behind NGINX).
Of course, I may want to manage this from a computer, so it’s running SSH server.
My phone is always connected to VPN and uses NextDNS, naturally I may want to use this with other computers, but I can’t install software to computers I don’t own (I mean, I can, but … it would be disliked), naturally it is then running Tiniproxy HTTP proxy server.
Some desktop GUI apps can be useful on a phone too. noaa-apt, Kid3, Audacity, desktop Firefox, Handbrake because I am too dumb for ffmpeg, so I run XFCE DE on it. Naturally, I can access it from a computer (I know) too, after all it’s accessed via a VNC server.
Am I stupid enough to expose something using HTTP protocol running on my phone to the internet? Of course I am! I can use cloudflared.
Do I want to encrypt a file? I can use GPG.
Do I want to create a compressed archive? I’ve got TAr and GZip.
Do I want to browse Gopher? I’ve got Lynx.
SSH or telnet somewhere? The clients are there.

user224 , 23 days ago

Because… I can.

And it’s portable.

user224 , 23 days ago

I feel like NGINX is simplest to configure. And it’s in the repos already, so I don’t see the advantage here.

Easy to do redirects, directory listings, serving a static website, setting mime types of specific files, basic user authentication, using HTTPS, using it as reverse proxy, limiting request types, limiting bandwidth, and making the directory listings far nicer with fancyindex module. That’s all I need and it’s pretty simple to do with NGINX. I don’t know what the Python HTTP server does, nor how to use.

user224 , 24 days ago

Exactly.
The internet is kind of like second world. You probably wouldn’t cut your children from the real world, but neither should you let them grow up in it unsupervised.

It’s part of the life nowdays, and you can adapt to it, not deny it. Just like with book reading in 18th century.

Hear me out, the entire universe is most likely temporary, so technically all the code you write is in fact temporary.

lemmy.dbzer0.com says “Profanity is encouraged”. Perhaps it could fail on that, at least with some AI.

As an AI language model, I am unable to use profanity. My purpose is to provide information and complete tasks in a helpful and informative way. Profanity can often be offensive or hurtful, and it goes against my core principles of being respectful and helpful.

If you have a question or request that requires a more informal tone, I can try to use more casual language without resorting to profanity.

Android doesn’t natively host any remotely-accessable service

What about ADB? It’s disabled by default, but can be used over network as well.

user224 , 1 month ago

It’s also a bit unstable.

Try to transfer files via MTP instead and then tell me what’s unstable.

Anyway, the most reliable way of file transfer I found so far is KDE connect. Haven’t had that fail yet.

But it also works with touchscreen taps, and randomizing tap position, duration, and delay is fairly simple.

Bank and government website behind Cloudflare???

Fuck, I just checked, my bank is also behind Cloudflare, what the fuck…
I kind of assumed a bank wouldn’t put another company with ability to view all transferred data between customers and themselves.

How much of the internet is not behind CF?
I should probably try blocking their IPs and see what will still work.

I prefer optical media if possible. Should survive a few decades, assuming good quality discs.

But I’d much rather use LTO tape if it wasn’t so expensive to get the drive.

With LemmyUI that also applies to videos and audio. With images, you can put them inside a link text field to get a button.

Nah, stick to VPNs. Don’t overload Tor with pirate media. Tor network isn’t meant for large data transfers like that.

OK, I’ll get stoned for saying this, but I’d welcome it if done properly.

It’s a large user base, lots of niche communities.

The more complicated part would be moderation, as that’s already a problem now. Also, resources may be a problem.

Perhaps it would better fit MBin.

If integrate Lemmy with something, that should be Mastodon first.

user224 , 1 month ago

I think there might be some unaddressed confusion here. I see you mention “lemmy world”, however that is just one instance running Lemmy software. It is open-source, so maybe somebody could fork it, but I don’t think it’s something to ask from lemmy.world. Maybe from the official Lemmy devs, but do keep in mind they’re just volunteers.

As for posting on your profile, that’s something for the side of micro-blogging. Standalone, that could be Mastodon in the Fediverse. But there’s also MBin (active KBin fork) which is compatible with Mastodon.

Kbin/Mbin show votes too.
