Also depends if FFmpeg supports it. Wayland is not mentioned in the Documentation.
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-devices.html
Edit: Different comment mentioned the wf-recorder, which uses FFmpeg’s libraries but not the CLI utility, so I guess that’s the closest you can get to using FFmpeg. They also show some CLI usage.
last time it got posted here people dismissed it. I don’t get why it got a positive reaction this time. It’s a kinda cool app but also completely impractical. If you already know if you want systemd on your system or not, you aren’t a noob and you already know what you want, or at least know what to search for.
This thing is more like one of the “What Power Ranger are you?” type of surveys.
If having a community is a requirement for OP, then I’d say Odysee kinda sucks because it’s full of National Socialists. Though I primary go there for watching videos, so a few nose emoji spammers don’t bother me.
I also dislike that it shows recommendations/related videos. That’s an anti-feature of YouTube for me, so I don’t want it on Odysee either. That can be fixed by using a desktop app without recommendations like https://github.com/trizen/lbry-viewer (not sure if that’s the correct one, I haven’t installed it yet on my current system.)
You can tell Open Interpreter to run commands based on you human-language input. If you want local only LLM, you can pair it with Ollama. It works for “interactive” use where you’re asked for confirmation before a command is run.
I set this up in a VM because I wanted a full automatic coding “agent” which can run commands without my intervention and I did not want it to blow up main system. It did not really work though because as far as I know Open Interpreter does not have a way to “pipe” a command’s output back into the LLM so that it could create feedback with linters and stuff.
Another issue was that Starcoder2, which is the only LLM trained on permissive licensed code I could find, only has a 15B “human-like” model. The smaller models only speak code so I don’t know how that would work for agentic usage and the 15B is really slow running on DDR4 CPU. I think agents are cool though so I would like to try Aider which is a supposedly good open source agent and unlike Open Interpreter is not abandonware.
Thanks for coming to my blabering talk, hope this might be useful for someone.
I hope for that too
This is why I use foot in its client-server mode. It allows basically instant startup because the server is already running in the background (even on my Core 2 Duo Thinkpad).
Most Linux users never use anything CLI
Indeed but I’m not talking about “most users”.
Why would Linux phone users use CLI?
You want to automate something with a script or want to create some workaround for something.
But (what I said is that) all of that you can get in various Linux distros too
Sure, but these distros aren’t the go-to choice of tinkerers. As I said for the normal Ubuntu user LineageOS is completely fine. “Proper” Linux phone’s target audience are Arch, Gentoo, Void,… users.
the basic difference for devs is Google/Android SDK
For devs sure but “tinkerers” aren’t always devs. They can just start as someone who just “pokes” into their system and eventually dives deeper, or stays forever at the “fix a thing here and there” level. In my opinion you don’t get this granular spectrum of skill. You either are an Android developer (be it Android app or Android system developer) or Android user. Maybe that isn’t true but the original topic was “why Linux phones when AOSP forks exist” and I think “tinkerers” might think this way about Android.
I honestly did not give much thought to the difficulty of pulling such attack off. With “not sophisticated” I just meant that it’s not complex to grasp. “You just have to pretend to be a different person”. I guess yeah that is pretty difficult.
Yeah I mean it’s often said that any second factor is better than just password so it’s probably not a big deal. My issue is mostly that it’s an attack vector that could easily be eliminated. For example if banks allowed third party 2FA apps. I think I’ve read somewhere, that some banks even only allow hardware keys for business accounts which is honestly absurd.
I stated why OP is painting a misleading picture about xbps-src in my other reply but I guess the only thing you missed is xi. xi is tool that allows you install both source and binary packages. So it’s kinda like yay with the caveat, that there is no central place for user submitted packages.
xbps-src is both a tool to build official packages from source and a way to install Void’s “official AUR packages”. Meaning packages that are maintained by Void/Arch devs but for whatever reason do not belong to the main repository. That’s the only way it’s comparable to the AUR.
But saying that xbps-src is like the AUR is very misleading because it lacks the “U” part. Official AUR packages are only a small part of the AUR.
The difference between Android and “proper” Linux? You said it:
Android is a semi-immutable (heavily modified and basically owned by Google) distro that runs app in sandboxes.
That is not what “tinkerers” want. They want access to the system. I have not tried it but can you even run an android app from the command line? I guess you can somehow but that just brings me to my other point. You kinda have to be an Android dev to tinker with Android, while on “proper” Linux the learning experience is more granular.
edit: indeed running Android apps from CLI is not very tinker-friendly:
It’s nothing sophisticated. You just steal someone’s phone number by calling their phone service provider pretending to be them. I don’t know how serious this threat is but for this reason SMS is not considered secure in the “security circles”.
https://www.howtogeek.com/358352/criminals-can-steal-your-phone-number-heres-how-to-stop-them/
The issue is that the banking app is often the only way to get 2 factor authentication. The other way is to use SMS but that can be hijacked by social engineering attacks so it cannot be considered secure.
I worded my comment badly. I was not talking about supply chain attacks, rather the ability to tinker on “proper” Linux which you don’t get on Android.
The “know it better” is, I think, a big argument, that’s imo often a bit overlooked. Android does not have that much “tinkers” as “proper” Linux has. For the average Gnome DE @ Ubuntu user, Android forks are fine. But if you’re the kind of person, who optimizes their Arch system with cool scripts from Github, you won’t get the same experience on LineageOS. I know Termux is a thing but that feels more like a workaround.
Edit: Had to reword the comment, because people thought I was talking about malware and supply chain attacks.
Edit2 to clarify my point: I think big downside of Android is that if you want to tinker with it, you basically have to be an android developer. With “proper” Linux the barrier to entry is smaller and the learning experience is more granular. Hence why we think “we know ‘proper’ Linux better”.
It does not matter how powerful the phone is as long as the drivers suck. The original Pinephone would have been fine if it had proper standby mode. If this makes it to production, it’s going to be ewaste. Judging by the fact that they don’t mention software challenges and only focus on privacy/foss buzzwords and le epic HW specs.
What CPU do you have? Have you enabled hardware accelerated virtualization in the BIOS? Did you do any tweaking when running the VM? I had a Windows 10 VM on a 2013 laptop, so what you are describing might just be bad configuration.
Enabling virtualization in the BIOS is required for usable performance. Tweaks are optional but I highly recommend them because out of the box Windows VM feels pretty sluggish mainly because of bad graphics configuration. For that I use Quickemu which is a script that automatically sets up your VM for optimal performance. (Works for MacOS VMs too but I have not tried it) Finally you can try debloating your Windows 10 installation with Chris Titus’ Winutil, which btw also includes some useful Windows tools like a GUI for package manager.
CLA is basically a requirement for any larger scale open source project. It would be mental to add a “this single edited line is licensed under X license” to every tiny commit. Microsoft’s CLA does not tranfer rights btw, it just licenses your contribution to M$ under “basically BSD 0 clause license” terms.
I guess sure they could do a ragpull but it does not make much sense. Reasons:
they have open sourced it themselves
It’s made by M$ for M$. They don’t have competition in the Windows space, so there is no point to hide the code.
Also what would be the worst thing that could happen if they did that? You would either use a fork, because WSL2 is basically feature complete at this points, or you would be have to use a proprietary app on a proprietary OS. Imo the licensing of WSL specifically is the least of Windows’ issues.
I actually do know what I’m talking about. See https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
Many people believe that the spirit of the GNU Project is that you should not charge money for distributing copies of software, or that you should charge as little as possible—just enough to cover the cost. This is a misunderstanding.
Though I advise you to read the whole article. They for example explain why you should charge “substantial fee” for redistribution of Free Software.
I used to do this (before my server died). You can for example use this to bypass Proton’s free tier one user per account limit.
Basically it’s about correctly setting the wireguard’s AllowedIPs and DisallowedIPs. Your laptop wants to send everything through wireguard. Your home server wants to send everything through Proton (or Mullvad or aVPN) except the communication with your laptop.
(I did that by marking the packets from one VPN with fwmark and sending marked packets to the other but that is a dumb solution for such a simple problem.)
