Dear fellow enthusiasts,

my wife and I finally got stable enough in our living situation, that we can buy some new hardware (ours is 7+ years, while hers is a laptop). So I went out into the wild wild web to catch up with 7years of hardware progress (I am technological affine, but not following the trends in any way) and wanted to run by my first iteration of a setup with the infinite wisdom of this community.

For the background: both of us only use Linux at home and at work and do not plan to change this. We do not play AAA games, the most demanding game we play as of late is probably Dota2, ARK and GTNH (a Minecraft mod pack, that eats your ram for breakfast). Hence we won't need cutting edge hardware, more like an upper end budget setup. Anyway, with my last PC I had tons of troubles with the mainboard, the GPU (nvidia) and other stuff, even though I thought I checked stuff in advance, so I wanted to have an outside opinion.

TL;DR: here my draft, with prices from an online store:

• Mainboard: ASRock B650M-H/M.2+ 97.90€
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7™ 7700, 8 core, 3.800 MHz base, AM5, 32 MB L3 cache 227.90€
• GPU: XFX Radeon RX 6650 XT Speedster SWFT 210 Core Gaming, RDNA 2, GDDR6, 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI 2.1 249.90€
• RAM: ADATA DIMM 32 GB DDR5-4800 (2x 16 GB) Dual-Kit, 84.90€
• PSU: be quiet! System Power 10 650W 61.90€
• Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB, SSD PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe, M.2 2280, Reading: 5.000 MB/s, Writing: 3.600 MB/s 69.99€
• CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black 39.89€
• case: generic 50.00€

sum: ~880.00€

we don't mind to pay a little bit more here and there, but I do not see any real benefit to it. Even storage should be fine for our purpose and can be easily expended (the MB has two M.2 slots, and even Sata3 should be fine for raw storage).

ah, and we would buy two of those... My first idea was to buy one PC with two GPUs with passthrough of GPU and USB input (sitting anyway close), but I got the impression, that is at this moment more something to tinker, then to run "in production".

Best wishes, me

PS: if this community is not correct, I apologize and would kindly ask for the better fit.

the code related to the video is a faily basic implementation using BabylonJS. it can be found here.

id like to see if i can get handpose-estimation to work well enough to be able to add to the BabylonJS render engine.

im working on something i hope will work like the 8thwall demo here. i couldnt find an open-source alternative to this. my progress so far is as described here. i dont have much experience in creating games or graphics, so any guidance/help/advice is appriciated.

disclaimer: its a proof-of-concept app. for testing and demo purposes only. maybe this article helps clarify some details.

I recently made a post about Shinigami Eyes and BlockParty and started thinking about activist tools.

The ones mentioned are of course merely mitigation tools, but speaking of activist tools more broadly, like some people suggest Signal and Tor Browser for activists, as a fine balance between security and a low technical bar for entrance.

I am not really sure that any of these differ substantially from Matrix and Firefox and why they are so special.

The ActivityPub protocol. the one Lemmy uses, is a mature protocol and people have put thought in various aspects of it.

Apart from Lemmy, there are ActivityPub applications that foster activist and IRL communication, like Framasoft's Mobilizon.

The main issue I would think of about ActivityPub instances for community organizing is the lack of specialized features for this type of work, like polling.

And the major issue of course is the pseudonymity/anonymity and completely open signups renders existing apps like Lemmy untenable for community activism organizing.

In your opinion, what would it take for an Activity Pub application to be a secure, efficient tool for community activism?

Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund unveils a program to fund maintainers of open source projects that's expected to be operational by year's end.

Are there any AI open source software / tools / projects that can do image manipulation such as removing backgrounds, or isolating/cutting out a subject or person, or similar things? Manually cutting out things in gimp is a massive PIA and i see there are online tools that seemingly accomplish this using AI but they are locked behind making accounts/credit card/other barriers to get the full size processed image. Surely there must be something out there.

Edit 1: After I made this post I looked for the app everywhere, turns out the developer removed it from Fdroid and Google Play Store and even deleted the community.

I guess the client is done.

Edit 1: Sadly, I have to settle with Summit for lemmy for now.

Hopefully Jerboa add this functionality later.

Updates in code base, interface, mobile development, plus improvements to the look and feel on Linux. Pretty cool to see!

Hi all,

I’m looking for something to automatically tag some old music files I have sitting around. I’ve been working with Picard, but a lot of albums are not in MusicBrainz, and adding them has been a serious PITA. Is there any kind of software that either:

1. Can apply metadata directly from a streaming service (like this script for adding albums to MusicBrainz does)?
2. Can simply allow me to manually edit metadata with an interface that isn’t completely awful to use?

or even:

3. Two separate tools, one to grab metadata and another to manually add it (maybe a CLI interface for batch operations?)

Appreciative of any advice—I just hope there’s a better way, with how tedious this can be.

EDIT: Just to specify, I’m on NixOS.

If you love Chess use this instead of Chess.com

I'm currently using Daylio. It works fine, but, given the sensitive nature of the information, I want something more private/trustworthy. The following is what I am looking for in the app:

Essentials:

• Android app.
• Support custom tags and notes when recording a mood.
• The ability to add a mood for a specific day/time other than current (for example, if I miss an entry).
• Support multiple entries per day.

Nice-to-haves:

• Visualizations of the moods, and other data, over time
• Data exports/backups

Today I opened the App Store on my GrapheneOS to see, that Accrescent is now mirrored in it.

I know, that GrapheneOS devs have addressed F-droid very negatively it the past (and they still do that), but imo, including Accrescent as a part of official GOS App Store is very harmful for FLOSS movement, as Accrescent does not support any third-party repos, claiming that they are "breaking the Android security model", and also allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo.

This unlikely to be the reason for me to change OS, as GrapheneOS is still amazing, but devs rhetoric and actions become more and more concerning for me.

Yes this is a Telegram client and yes it will break the Lemmy's downvote world record but I still find this one very nice and "actively" maintained. There are not many good Telegram FOSS forks without Google integrations and similar stuff out there.

I've been using it for a long time and it's been a good experience (except for 1 or 2 crashes) so here I am sharing it I guess.

DroidFS is an Android application providing rootless support for gocryptfs and CryFS encrypted file systems. It features an encrypted camera, biometric unlocking, integrated secure file viewers and allows decrypted files to be exposed to other applications. It is 100% FLOSS and developed voluntarily.

This new version...

• aims to improve the user interface
• implements a foreground service to keep volumes open in the background
• allows tweaking the file export method used for sharing content with other apps
• adds new Turkish, Simplified Chinese and Hebrew translations
• and of course, fixes a few bugs

Official APKs are available for download now. It should land on F-Droid very soon, with a new per-ABI APKs split which will reduce quite a bit the download as well as the installed app size.

Feel free to give some feedback, open bug reports, ask for help, contribute, or just discuss about the project!

Hi !

3 weeks ago, I dicovered glassdown here.

It is great and I added it to obtainium.

But it looks like the repo moved.

It originally could be found at https://github.com/Sinneida/glassdown

Now I can only find it at https://github.com/RomanK2311/glassdown but it has no releases.

Where is the official repo now ?
