wheresmysurplusvalue , 15 days ago to linux in How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?

There are some browser based solutions like sharedrop.io and file.pizza. I haven’t had the latter work for me though, not sure if it’s still functional. They work through WebRTC to discover local candidates for receiving files, the same way that video calling typically finds the best connection.

Security

ShareDrop uses a secure and encrypted peer-to-peer connection to transfer information about the file (its name and size) and file data itself. This means that this data is never transfered through any intermediate server but directly between the sender and recipient devices. To achieve this, ShareDrop uses a technology called WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication), which is provided natively by browsers. You can read more about WebRTC security here.

wheresmysurplusvalue , 22 days ago to asklemmy in What was your first operating system or Linux Distribution?

For Linux I started with Wubi to install Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. It installed Linux as a program in Windows and added some kind of hacky boot entry to boot into Ubuntu from your windows partition. Pretty cool, and I’m still pretty nostalgic for the GNOME 2 aesthetic with compiz effects from that time.

wheresmysurplusvalue , 2 months ago to asklemmy in What happened to "You're welcome!" as a response to "Thank You"? It's not even included in the canned answers on an apple watch. Have we as a society abandoned it?

Swedish says “varsågod” (literally something like “be so good”). Finnish developed social courtesies relatively late, and so translated the Swedish literally to “ole hyvä”. Russian on the other hand uses пожалуйста (pozhaluysta). Don’t know exactly where this last word came from, but nowadays it’s used the same way as “please” as in “please, no thanks needed”

Can I please (pozhaluysta) have this cake?

Yes, here you go.

Thank you!

Please (pozhaluysta)

How hard is it to put openwrt on any old commodity router if it’s on the compatible devices list? Is it basically just using the old router’s firmware update page and loading the openwrt firmware image?

Thinking about gifting a new wifi access point for one of my friends with a crap router that doesn’t even support 5ghz channels
