I’ve been following this project

https://github.com/epicenter-so/epicenter/tree/main/apps/whispering

They recently got a bunch of investment and hired some staff, and so they’re developing fairly quickly. I saw an update about local Whisper support the other day

Assuming it stays user friendly (currently open source - MIT), it might be a good option for you. Previously it was here:

https://github.com/braden-w/whispering

Some of these posts might be better for communities like !technology@lemmy.world, they’re being reported in this community for not being PC Gaming related

Sounds good! There’s also !linux4noobs@programming.dev and similar communities to ask questions for all the specific issues you are working on

recently i just finished building a new pc. mostly for gaming since my only exposure to linux is steam os and i heard its uses arch with kde plasma so i try to emulate it as close as i can. however soon i realized how different it is and it requires more setup than i initially thought.

It sounds like you’re thinking of Arch + KDE as similar to building a PC, where if you get the same parts you can hook them up for the same experience.

I think their team chose Arch to build their distro off of because it’s very customizable and made it easy for them to add their configurations, interface layers, hardware optimizations etc. That doesn’t make it the best choice for a beginner unless you want to be thrown into the deep end and spend some time to learn a bunch.

IMO you should look into something like Bazzite or some other atomic Fedora, or OpenSuse, so that you can have a running operating system you can game on. Then you can spend some time learning about Linux with the functioning PC. There are ways to run other Linux distros inside your main one if you want to play with them and learn about them.

Unless you have another machine to use day to day, I find it annoying to be learning with the same machine I need for other things.

The developer and the project have profiles in Mastodon, it should be possible to tag the accounts in this thread directly

Neat! Looking forward to trying out the new changes.

By the way, you can use one account to post to all the communities. For example, if you wanted to use your lemmy.world account, the links would be something like the following:

• https://lemmy.world/c/opensource@lemmy.ml
• https://lemmy.world/c/foss@beehaw.org

Some guides here:

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

• https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-open-in-my-instance

You could also keep using multiple accounts, but I find that to be more tedious.

It should be possible to grab the license key before you wipe it. You could also copy it into an external drive and store it away as is

If the company is gone now then, I guess it would harm whoever bought the rights to the apps or the name? In which case they can contact that entity to sort it out

Neat

In practice, SUSE’s Sovereign Premium Support is tailored for enterprises and public sector organizations that require strict data residency, privacy, and operational control within the EU. The service ensures that:

• All support personnel and data are based in the EU, with named premium support engineers and service delivery managers assigned to each customer.
• Customer support data is stored exclusively on EU-located networks and servers, addressing both regulatory and geopolitical concerns.
• Access to sensitive data is strictly limited to EU-based staff, with a commitment to encrypting all data required for troubleshooting.

Cool!

I love the UI for this one, it’s unique compared to the others

I think they’re looking for local “AI” anyway. Since those work directly on your machine, there’s no concern around trust (nothing leaves your device) and the resource cost is whatever your hardware uses, or was already using.

There are some concerns still with local models, such as any biases in the training data that was used, but for image classification it wouldn’t be that bad.

There is also !localllama@sh.itjust.works :)

crossposting between the communities can help grow both

Being able to compare between options would help me pick which one I want to use :)

Alternatively, a way to filter the full list would be helpful. That way I can select the items that I need and see everything that has what I need.

This for example:

https://www.lemmyapps.com/

It would be cool if there was a table to compare them with, since right now you’d have to open each of them to check.

Thank you for putting it together though!

You can add an image to the thumbnail field to get the best of both options :)

Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is another popular one, although I haven’t tried it yet

I think you want a static site generator

We use Vitepress for https://fedecan.ca/en/

https://vitepress.dev/guide/getting-started

If you want to selfhost it, there is https://www.coolify.io/ , but imo you want something like GitHub pages/ Netlify since it’s for your business

What kind of fediverse features did you want for the website? You might be better off making accounts on fediverse platforms and linking to the website

The autofill popup has always been unreliable for me on Android (with Bitwarden)

I use the quick settings tile most of the time instead

I think it’s a mix of the two. There are legitimate reasons, and commercial reasons

Synology does not manufacture its own hard drives but instead certifies and rebrands drives from Toshiba and Seagate, leaving out only Western Digital among the world’s largest manufacturers.

They’re disabling features

Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.
