This is my first FOSS code project. If anyone has any constructive suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

Sounds interesting, but the requirements say it needs gnome-desktop. I'm using Hyprland on NixOS, so it doesn't sound like this will work for my setup unfortunately. Thank you for the suggestion. Hopefully this helps others.

According to this issue, it looks like there are no plans, understandably, for making a version/fork of nsxiv but with native Wayland support.

Any recommendations for a simple image viewer in Hyprland?

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?

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).

I noticed the AppOutlet repo has been archived, but I really liked the idea of one store to rule them all (I.e. snaps, appimages, flatpaks, etc.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

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?

Looking for a FOSS way to backup my encrypted Blueray disks so I can stream them with Jellyfin and not worry about the disks getting scratched.

Much like the linked post, I hope this thread serves as a snapshot or "state of the industry" as of April 2024.

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?

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?

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?

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.

You are brave. Good luck lone traveler.

Looks like the stable channel hasn't received an update in years, and the alpha channel hasn't received an update in over a year. Is this launcher abandoned?

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

No you don't. You used to, and then the WiFi and Data buttons were both put under an Internet button. It's aweful design. All of it.

If your country gets warrant happy, wouldn't having a VPN in a more privacy friendly or non-five-eyes country be better? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

Here's a similar post with a lot of comments. Hopefuly that's helpful. From what I can tell, it's TINA at the moment.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.

As a GrapheneOS user, I want to make sure I'm not overwriting graphene files with google files.

Firefox has one of my favorite privacy extensions that creates containers to group your tabs into, and I haven't found an equivalent for chrome based browsers: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

But if you like crypto, I'd go with Brave. Firefox recently broke a bunch of browser wallet / hardware wallet integrations by ditching U2F on the latest release without giving any of the big wallet programmers a heads up.
