Synology Drive debug messages [NixOS, Hyprland]
  • For anyone that stumbles on this, try ‘QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=Fusion QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb synology-drive autostart’ for your startup command. That worked for me.

  • OMG are you fucking kidding me!!! Your comment got me thinking. So I looked at my desktop to see what I had in the startup command and it was 'synology-drive autostart' instead of 'synology-drive start'. #livinthatlinuxlife #killmenow

    Sigh... Thank you!!!

  • I use a bash script because I don't know of a way to start a program minimized to tray using the hyprland config. If there is a method of doing that, I'd be happy to give it a try.

    Synology drive doesn't start on boot even though I have it in my bash script like all my other startup programs which load fine. I get the following debug messages when I run synology-drive from terminal: debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_app_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_data_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_working_dir_path" debug.message: Cannot find path by key "user_cloud_station_drive_ui_path" QApplication: invalid style override passed, ignoring it. Available styles: Windows, Fusion Mynixos.com doesn't say that I need to include anything special in my configuration.nix file for the synology-drive-client. What am I doing wrong? Are these debug message related to why it's not loading on startup?

    Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • Nova launcher - there isn't a good one for one FOSS replacement. Every launcher I tried from fdroid has at least one shortcoming (if not more).

  • How do you get those inverted bottom corners on your Waybar?

  • Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?
  • Thanks for the suggestion. After getting some weird behavior with Appimage Launcher and reading this reddit thread, I decided to install pamac-flatpak from the AUR, but plan on leaving AUR dissabled on the app. So far so good. I think it's a keeper.

  • Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?
  • I like the integration with Timeshift and the into packed interface with ability to click on details. On the downside, the themes are limited and it's kind of hard to use for browsing apps that you might want to install.

  • Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?
  • In that case, any one stop shop on Arch that will search the Arch repo, the AUR, and Flathub?

  • Does the legacy of AppOutlet live on?
  • Thanks for the link. That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you.

    I noticed the AppOutlet repo has been archived, but I really liked the idea of one store to rule them all (I.e. snaps, appimages, flatpaks, etc. in one place).

    Any current recommendations for an alternative?

    Anyone migrate from PlayerPro to a FOSS alternative?
  • Thanks for the recommendations and for sharing your wisdom. I'll give them a shot.

  • Alternatives to Nova Launcher?
  • Lawnchair and Neo Launcher are close seconds but, unfortunately, there is no one for one alternative. Just use a firewall to block Nova's internet access.

    Looking for a music player that will do a good job of loading album art. It all looks great in PlayerPro, but I tried Auxio and Aplayer but they didn't do a great job of pulling in the album art. Tracks were also incorrectly lumped together with mixed albums/artists.

    Any recommendations?

    Anyone working with 345 MHz devices/sensors in home assistant (e.g, 2GIG devices)?

    I'm in the same boat as this Home Assistant user / Redditor, but it looks like some of the key replies to his question have been deleted.

    I moved into a house and it looks like Vivint had rewired the original security system with a 2GIG TAKE-345 wired to wireless converter (transmits on 345 MHz). Can anyone recommend a RTL-SDR dongle that's compatible with HAOS, preferably plug-and-play?

    Exodus Bitcoin Wallet: $490K Swindle
  • I don't recommend downloading from unofficial distrobution channels without verifying a hash. That said, why doesn't Exodus give Linux users a PPA? Mac and Windows both have auto updates for the Exodus wallet.

  • Voice Input Privacy Concerns on GrapheneOS?
  • Yeah, I just tried it out and it works really well. Even works with AnySoftKeyboard.

  • Voice Input Privacy Concerns on GrapheneOS?

    Any privacy concerns with using the futo-whisper open source voice library?

    I was able to add their apk repo to Droidify, but am hesitant to install Futo Voice Input. Although it looks like it integrates nicely with OpenBoard.

    The other option is to install Sayboard, which works with the native Graphene keyboard. Although OpenBoard with Futo Voice looks like a more streamlined experience, IMHO.

    Any thoughts on privacy here?

    Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app.

    I heard the Phillips Hue works well but I'd like to be able to install and configure the bulbs with Home Assistant (or another open source app at a minimum). Any suggestions?

    Aqara Devices' ZigBee Keeps Dropping. Any Tips?
  • It is plugged directly into my HA server. I'll try adding an extension cable, since i haven't tried that yet. But if it's a matter of reception, it seems odd that it's isolated to the Aqara devices.

    Thank you for the suggestion. I appreciate the tip.

    Aqara Devices' ZigBee Keeps Dropping. Any Tips?

    I have an Aqara water leak sensor in my kitchen and weather sensor in my living room. I added them to the ZigBee network while they were in their permanent locations - heard that should help them stay connected. For some reason they keep becoming "unavailable" in Homeassistant. I've readded them four times now.

    I have other ZigBee devices from other brands and haven't had any issues with them dropping. My ZigBee dongle is a Sonoff. I've never connected the Aqara devices to any Aqara app, and was also wondering if these get firmware updates. Any ideas why these two Aqara devices keep dropping?

    Recommendations for the best, low-heat, GPU with ray-tracing in 2023?
  • The TitanX was always power hungry. Shortly after it was released, Nvidia released better GPUs and they got some criticism for the TitanX branding considering the newer cards were faster and ran cooler. I was disappointed because the newer cards came out a couple months after I picked up the TitanX.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I'll add these to my Christmas wish list.

  • Recommendations for the best, low-heat, GPU with ray-tracing in 2023?

    I have a Nvidia TitanX in my HTPC, which is known for its high heat output, and it keeps overheating when I play 3D games. The case has two intake fans on one side and two exhaust fans on the other, but lacks ventilation on the top panel. I'm tired of the random shutdowns during game play and was wondering if anyone had any recommemdations for a more efficient GPU.

    Best FOSS alternative to Nova Launcher?
  • That was fun and different. Thank you for the suggestion.

  • Best FOSS alternative to Nova Launcher?
  • It's a closed source luancher on Google Play. It works really well, but the developer recently sold out according to someone in this thread and it now contains trackers according to the Exodus app.

  • Best FOSS alternative to Nova Launcher?

    Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they're all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher ...but open source. !

    Retro quick access on GrapheneOS???

    Yo how'd our hommie sideofburritos get old school quick access on GrapheneOS? Is this just an old version? The video's only a year old! So I'm on GOS Android 13 (aka big dumb quick access button purgatory), totally confused and totally jealous. I can only imagine an out of touch board testing a new android version and telling the developers to make the buttons bigger and dumber while they tell their managers "okay, we can do that" while they die a little inside. This is the most egregious design offense committed in the history of AOSP.

    Please tell me this can be fixed with System UI Tuner or some other bullshit that doesn't kill my battery life or privacy.

    Best VOIP service and FOSS app combo on GrapheneOS in 2023?

    Currently looking at:

    • jmp.chat with the Cheogram app - at $3 a month for each number, it's a little pricey.
    • VoIP.ms with either the linphone app or one of the other FOSS apps in their softphones list - $0.85 a month but calls and messages are a la carte, which is not my favorite but it's less expensive.

    I know a lot of people like using MySudo or Grandstream, but I'd like to keep it FOSS and not reliant on google play services if possible. Battery considerations are also a plus.

    So what are you using and would you recommend it?

    My ideal app would have crypto rewards for reporting hazards or uploading dashcam footage that you could redeem for discounts at merchants that pay for in app ads. If anyone makes something like this, cut me in on the IPO lol.

    Personal Finance @lemmy.ml guttermonk @lemmy.ml
    Credit card round-ups to buy stocks?

    Like Peter Lynch says, invest in what you know. It would be cool if your round-up could buy a fractional share of whatever business you shopped at. If that company isn't publicly traded, you could set a stock for it to default to.

    So if I go to Chipotle, my round-up goes to a fractional share of Chipotle. If I go to my favorite local hole in the wall, my round-up would go to a fractional share of $SPY or whatever I set my default to.

    I know Cash App and the Robinhood Cash Card both have round-ups to buy stock, but they only buy one stock. Anyone know a card that's more inline with what I want?
