I <3 FOSS software. These are my daily drivers:

My PCs: #Arch, #linux, #kdelinux, #kde #plasma, #kmail, #librewolf, #darktable, #gwenview, #dolphin, #konsole, #okular, #kate, #kdeconnect ... And LOTS of stuff under the hood, holding all that togeather!

My (fair-)phone: #e_os, lots and lots of #fossify lots of #Nextcloud #fdroid. And a phone running #postmarketos and #plasmamobile.

Maps and navigation: #openstreetmap, #comaps

Selfhosted: #yunohost with a few apps,, #nextcloud

Velocità di #KDEConnect tra 2 pc connessi via cavo su rete lan 1gbit

GSConnect auf Linux Mint installiert. Läuft nicht, weil keine Gnome Shell. Also wieder deinstalliert und KDEConnect drauf. Daraufhin crasht der Celluloid Videoplayer. Auch wieder runter damit.

Natürlich sind noch ein paar Abhängigkeiten übrig geblieben. Jetzt hab ich bei jedem Start die Auswahl zwischen Cinnamon, KDE und Gnome.

@simsus
Weiß jemand, ob bei Custom ROMs auch eine #AirDrop Unterstützung eingeführt werden wird? Ich meine damit nicht #KDEConnect oder ähnliche Technologien.

#lineageos #eOS #IodeOS #CalyxyOS

OK, recently #KDE #KDEConnect has been a bit weird, it refuses to send multiple files from my phone to #Windows laptop, can only send one at a time.

Now, I'm trying to send files from my junk #Debian PC to my Windows laptop.

*the files aren't transferring*

*connection dies*

Fucking hell.
NONE OF the software packages available have yet mastered this evil black art known as "transferring files over network".
Microsoftware is useless.
Googleware is useless.
I hear Appleware is expensive *and* useless.

But even open source solution? Hella useless. WHY. WHY IS THIS SO HARD.

😮‍💨
I'mma gonna go grab my USB stick after all, I guess. 🙄

آگاهی دریافت عکس با #KDEConnect چه خوب شده!

Kann mir jemand sagen, ob kde connect nur unter der KDE Oberfläche läuft, oder ob es auch bei cinnamon lauffähig ist?

Bekomme Devuan mit KDE nicht ohne Probleme ans laufen. Möchte aber gerne KDE connect nutzen.

My next test will be installing Cairo dock on MX Linux which I also have on a microSD card for the SBC Raspberry Pi5

https://mxlinux.org

#Cairo #dock #library #Wayland #KDE #Gnome #Xfce4 #airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #Raspberry #Pi5 #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

I've just installed Cairo Dock in my SBC Raspberry Pi5, using pi-packages the Add/Remove software utility.

What a mess I created.

Cairo Dock could not work properly. The gfx output indicated that it rendered in a manner that Wayland does not like.
I could see the window borders of the Dock which are invisible on Xorg in MX-Linux. Cairo Dock collapsed and expanded horizontally when you moved the mouse over it, with none of the applets reacting properly. They did not spawn the programs they were representing

I then proceded with sudo apt install cairo-doc from bash, after removal in pi-packages.
All dependecies were easily installed, but the rendering of my beloved Cairo dock still failed, making it still unusuable, in Wayland on the Pi5 SBC with 8GiB RAM

I will investigate, but for now I can't get the gorgeous Cairo dock to easily work on Wayland on the SBC Raspberry Pi5

Hat #KDEConnect bei euch auf #Arch auch letztens die Verbindung zur Android-App (hier: aus F-Droid) verloren?

這就是同步著電腦剪貼簿會發生的事情

Another excellent perspective on the subject at hand

This is what I Love 💕 about the FediVerse. Dynamic and open discussions on various matters in a civil way

Thank you 💕 for the valuable feedback Wouter. Thanks to a have another angle of insight into matters like these

@florke64

I've read your responses to my toot twice. Thank you 💕 for reacting.

IMHO your though process does not justify the hate you've got for localsend.

Your hate towards, the for you unknown program, localsend is **unfounded*"

Cherish the fact that there is choice and diversity in OpenSource programming.

Stable release versions for synchronizing files exist since the 1970s, not the 1990s. You've clearly not been around long enough to realize that fact **

Ever since plain simple sh existed, such programs were coded. One such program was coded more than fifty years ago and is still in active use.

Please be so kind to use wisdom and intelligence when you react and respond to toots. You acted like a typical snobbish Linux user. Reactions like yours don't contribute anything positive, no one learns from toots like the ones you posted in this thread.

I've never had such responses from the people in the BSD range of Operating Systems.

Even here on the FediVerse the diverse responses from Linux only users and programmers were not of such nature and low caliber.

I'm surprised, yet paradoxically expected your motivational chain.

** If you have been around long enough, to know open source code from the 1970s, look in the mirror and ask yourself why you have reacted in such a manner .

I will still wish you a good day / night, wherever you may reside.

Website for Cairo Dock

https://www.glx-dock.org/

#KDE #Gnome #Cairo #library #Xfce4 #airdrop #localsend #kdeconnect #ftp #Linux #ARM #SBC #programming #opensource #technology

In extension of what I said here I want to expand on the joy I have with Cairo Dock coded by the GNOME team **

When you first spawn Cairo Dock it greets you with a friendly requester, asking if you want OpenGL or standard
FX created by your fully personizable Cairo Dock.

The dock defaults with a exeptionally usuable configuration out of the box. The first thing I did was seek how to spawn it from the keyboard. I only use Xorg for gfx output, of my code / programs; Im a sh warrior.

It was as straight forward as it can be
* open up the requester with right mouse
* click Cairo Doc
* choose configure
* tab on configuration
* click short keys

Every configuration tab has a logical layout and this is still in easy mode, just like VideoLan VLC has. You can later play in advanced mode and go super deep into finetuning your Cairo dock. It evan has _backgrounds_ to be confiured, if you choose to.
Cairo dock also defaults to fading out when a program of yours overlaps it, so it's out of the way, without you needing to manually hide it.

I configured a weather addon which uses https://Open-meteo.com I only needed to tell it the longtitude and lattitude of the districts I wanted in SR/SA and was done

Cairo Dock is a real fun dock to play with. Super configurable and customizable. I use it along side my XFCe4 panel and they peacefully co exist. I did much more but now want to move onto another subject

** Note:
Cairo-Dock was spawned in July 2007, when Fabounet proposed a first version on the ubuntu-fr.org forum.

This means Cairo dock has its own independent programming team. So I hereby correct myself

BTW: I entered this toot in a standardnotes window since the web viewport is too small and the android sucks at getting fast input. Nothing beats a physical keyboard

I should note that you can not make the mistake of comparing KDEconnect extended capabilities with those of localsend.

They operate on totally different realms.

KDEconnect has a set of plugins which work like functional libraries. There so many that I will have to include a screenshot, just to give you a sample of what KDEconnect can actually do.

Local follows The Unix Principle; it does One thing in a does it very well.

In case you've gotten curious; you can install KDEconnect with its accompanying libraries on another working environment apart from KDE. You do not need to run a full KDE Desktop Environment.

Over here I run KDEconnect on machines which have Xfce4 running, while it's counterpart runs on a couple of Androids.
KDEconnect also runs on Ancient Android Operating Systems

The programming team of KDE does not care where you run it's wonderful software as long as you can enjoy it.

The same goes for The GNOME programming team. I run Cairo Dock ** and GPartED also on Xfce4. In fact I run many Gnome libraries in Xfce4 to have crucial functionality in many parts of the Xfce4 Desktop Environment. Without those wonderful libraries I would run a crippled version of Xfce4.

I have include screenshots from one of my energy efficient desktop computers where I will show you that I run GNOME software and KDE software in Xfce4 DE

I've just finished configuring the weather applet in Cairo Dock which gets its feed from OpenMeteo (not visible in screencap01)

**Update: Cairo Dock is programmed by it's own dedicated team. They have been doing the awesome work since 2007

In screencap 01 you see
* KDEConnect to the left
* Thunar from XFce4 to the right with important GNOME libs giving it extra functionalities
*Cairo Dock from GNOME at the bottom with advanced launch capabilities
