Hello all!

I'm looking for a simple to use GUI for my FOSS python project.

I have tried tkinter which is, uh, usable but seriously oldish? Good point seems to be it's basically inbuilt in python so not hard to distribute.

PyQt is on the heavy end, I just need windows, scrollbars and buttons (basically, see below), also I wonder about the license of Qt (it's always a PITA when trying to do C++ Qt) and also what you must package when you distribute the soft.

Must haves:

• Frames (I need two independent lists of files and another with global info)
• Text, buttons & colors, an "open file" dialog. Editable text field.
• Scrollable lists, with clickable icons (ex. "Filename [Delete icon] [Update icon]")
• Async behaviour (so that a thread can update one part when it sees fit)
• Works on most popular Linux
• FOSS (I don't want to change everything when the soft dies, or be on the enshittification ride)

Nice to have :

• Possibility to make pop out windows (like a settings manager)
• Mac & Win support

Cheers and thank you!

I heard the news on the grapevine and digged just the slightest so this is the first link I found.

Maybe true or just another stalling technique?

Hello all !

I have a docker image that you can run with:

docker compose -f compose_10f.yml up

The compose_10f.yml looks like this: ``` services: setup: image: tenfingers_10f:v1 volumes: - ./:/data working_dir: /data/

```

Which makes the image believe it runs in ./ so if it saves "./hello" it will be saved in the folder where it's launched (it works).

The thing is, it's a command line program (named 10f.py), not a server or such, so I'd like to run it like this:

docker run -v ./:/data -w /data/ tenfingers_10f:v1 10f.py

And it works with the exception it doesn't get to run in the mounted ./ folder.

It confuses the "mount" (or I'm just lucky the compose file works?) and it believes it lives in /data/, not in ./

``` python3: can't open file '/data/10f.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

```

I did struggle to set this up in the compose file, but I'd like to make the images run in a specific directory thinking they are in ./

Any ideas how I can figure this out?

Cheers and thank you so much!

Hello everyone!

I switched to 100% Linux not long time ago (Serenity + 5) but I'm struggling with the replacement of the last but seemingly simple workflow, that I have used an overpowered photoshop for when on windows.

I'm an 'ol game dev and I love firing up some compiler or IDE or game engine and have fun, today its Godot 😊😅. Long live FOSS!

I'm doing about everything in 2D pixel graphics, mostly because I have a stock of unused and also because I like it the most I guess.

So to the workflow!

Modifying pixel graphics:

The pipette must take only one value, not some mix of say 2x2 pixels

The pen writes 100 percent to pixels, or zero (so no smoothing stuff).

Possibility so make selections with 100% hard edges, and the possibility to erase (so creating transparency).

Saves with transparency to .png.

Bonus:

Resize without smoothing

Changing the hue in a selection

Aand that's it!

Is there a such simple soft out there?

BRW. Tried Gimp, it's just not working out for me.

Thank you so much 💖

Hello all,

I'm playing Knights of pen and paper for the second time, it's a nice time waster IMO (free part is better than the paid one, again IMO).

Last cRPG I really liked was Neverwinter Nights, but it has sure aged a little bit.

Would love a lazy rpg on android or a slightly more story rpg on linux (no graphic card 😅).

Any recommendations?

Thank you all 💖 !

Hello everyone, I hope I'm not in the wrong place here.

My fiber connection went down thursday, and after some debacle (team 1 changed the broken hardware but didn't plug in my FTTH :-/) I'm back in business.

Thing is, my lemmy.mindoki.com, where I probably live all alone, is now no longer updating. All posts are about 5-6 days old...

I don't even know if I'll see your answer to this post (so please leave at least one answer, even if it's an empty one 💖 if there are no answers).

Any information greatly appreciated.

Valmond

Edit: at least I can see this post, the next after a 7d old one :-)

Edit2: the instance was running all the time, with a network connection but without access to the internet. Maybe it decided everyone was like stale?

Hello!

I love making games, have even had the privilege to do it "for real". I'm looking for some game engine that I can use to make a 2D turnbased rpg game, that would compile for pc and android.

I have tried out lots of engines since a long time, and whats bothering me the most is that windows changes breaking stuff, the engine going paid or cease to exist, or it uses like javascript. So I'm wondering if there would be, today, something you could recommend that is FOSS, 2D, has sound&music maybe a menu interface, effects..., isn't an obscure, old or too new language (like Lua or Rust, sorry!) and works out of the box for PC and Android.

I'm willing to ponder web instead of PC but I'm not willing to go the javascript route :-).

Thank you for your time!

Cheers

Hello all!

Have there been some discussions about tagging posts, like [Drawing], [Painting], [Digital] etc?

Maybe there are not enough content to care yet, but what do you think?

Hello all!

I hava a xiaomi (redmi note pro 9) and its battery seems to start to flake out a bit, or I'm using it more or why not both?

So from time to time, like now, I'm at 19% but it's 22:36 and it will most probably be OK, but if I want some more time before bedtime I tried to hook up my old 5Ah (or as they cleverly say 5000mAh) powerbank to charge up a bit during important scrolling and film viewing.

It works, but almost by just slowing down the deteriorating of the charge level...

Is there some small battery packs that can actually deliver, and also allow that delivery to said phone (I have a couple of wall chargers, usb cables that interdicts the real fast charge)?

I have only found big powerbanks that seems to deliver.

Thank you all!

PS. Like a smaller one than the 5Ah one ❤️

Hello,

Is there a good place to host a little FOSS project elsewhere than github?

I'd especially like an open source community.

Cheers

Hello!

I'm thinking about to make some sort of simple lemmy-crawler. The api seems to respond in json so that should be quite simple in python.

So before I dig in and set up sockets and stuff (maybe overkill?) has someone already done some dead simple "hit up a lemmy server and query them" boilerplate code that they'd share?

Cheers

Hello!

I have some weird problems since I upgraded from 0.18.4 to 0.19.1 (I did it incrementally).

Posts doesnt seem to show up any more, for example if I, on the web (just to illustrate, its the same with Jer oa or Voyager) go here:

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/permacomputing

I can see a bunch of posts.

But if I go through my server:

https://lemmy.mindoki.com/c/permacomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

There is no pists at all (I have refreshed, waited, reloaded...).

I do see the page of the community on both links though.

Anyone having an idea about what could be wrong? Am I banned everywhere (I have never been to lemmy.sdf.org before and I usually don't behave bad online at all).

I'm asking here because the lemmy.ml and lemmy.world support has tge same problem (??).

Cheers

Hello!

This question is not about backing up your data; like git, photos & videos etc.

I have a Lemmy server running Linux Mint and I wonder if there could be a way to backup like the OS data (and installed packages) so when the mobo fries (for example) I can just back it up into a spare server (installing Mint)?

Obviously the premise is that I can backup that important stuff correctly.

I'm asking because I'm a Linux noob and was confronted with the Mint backups and rollbacks. Very smooth BTW, for a virgin system anyways. Also because I hate installing and configure stuff (like Lemmy docker + nginx) and would love knowing the downtime would be minimal.

So sort of having a hardware backup.

Hello,

Longtime windoze user (because work, gaming, programming, lazybess, ...) I'm switching over to Linux Mint (a slow long process that might finally end up with just a little win-box for the printer and a soft or two) on all my everyday pc:s so I'm trying to get more into the nitty gritty stuff here, and I have long time heard that the:

UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook (4th Edition)

Is like the Linux Bible...

Is it still so? Is it still worth the money or are there better books out there?

Cheers!

Hello fellow Lemmyers or what ever we are!

Today my Lemmy server went sort of down (uptime is OK, but the server seemed having problems to serve requests), so I restarted the docker and everything is back to normal. I use the docker version, I haven't upgraded to the last version.

How frequently should you relaunch the docker, if ever? Should I be better and upgrade faster?

What do you think?

Cheers!

I have a good A4 scanner, but those papers are just a wee bit too big, and my mobiles camera is just this bad.

Anyone knows haw to scan a bigger page in a smaller scanner (stitching them together is another story), I get wildly different lightings and so when trying to scan 3/4 top and then like 3/4 bottom...
