Damn i still say that like that sometimes, and i totally forgot where it came from

As someone without an electric car, i always assumed it was for something to do while charging.

Linux is unix-like, and not from the same family really. ChromeOS is based on linux, so similarly unix-like. Mac is Darwin, which is actually unix. Also all BSDs are unix

Yeah, reading these comments, it looks like they are not legally able to call it unix, despite having direct lineage. Linux however is a complete re-write, making it more obviously not proper unix by most definitions.

Im using freebsd on my nas because it has better zfs support than linux does. Or at least was the case as of a couple years ago.

Originally i just threw a few extra drives into my old Arch machine, but i noticed my package upgrades were being held back because zfs on linux (or whatever they called it) was dependant on older kernels or something. I cant remember the exact details.

sudo flatpak upgrade

Does anyone know if i need to be concerned about updating my yuzu flatpak? Apparently nintendo is taking control of all assets, and im not sure if they'll brick the flatpak or not.

What i usually do is set up a wifi hotspot from my phone, and connect the pi that way

dadarobot , 4 months ago

No, your laptop also connects to the hotspot. If you have available wifi at your location, you can then setup the pi to use that wifi and disconnect the phone hotspot, and just use the local wifi on all devices.

Ive just found this to be the simplest setup. I briefly had serial over bluetooth set up, and it was an easier way to change the pi's wifi, but it broke pretty quickly for me not sure why.

Probably the most elegant solution is ethernet over usb, but thats a bit of a pain to set up.

For me a hotspot has been the least headache

Everyone saying Android is completely missing the point. I mean yeah, it runs the linux kernel, but i feel like most of yall wouldn't call ChromeOS linux on the other hand.

The obvious connotations are privacy, choice, wayland/x11 support, a useful terminal, a rich foss ecosystem, and arch btw.

Hell, I think even Raspberry Pi Foundation getting into the phone market would be a game changer too.

dadarobot , 4 months ago

My point is really just that it is an entirely different software stack than the traditional linux experience. I cant just download the source for a standard linux app and compile it for android, it needs to be ported.

I think pinephone and librem are the closest we have gotten to a proper linux phone. But the specs suck, and the mobile optimized app ecosystem isnt there yet. Thats the point of the op meme.

Waydroid runs decently on the pinephone. On a phone with better specs, it might be downright usable for proprietary apps.

Potentially a proton-style layer could really ease transition, like on the steamdeck

dadarobot , 4 months ago

Thats a fair point, i never tried banking on waydroid. Most of the stuff i would need on the go seemed fine though.

Although, as far as tap to pay goes, i could see that getting baked into linux properly. I dont believe apple pay and google pay tap pay are using a different protocol. I may very well be wrong though.

I have a pinephone and a pinephone pro, and they are basically just fun linux toys. I keep it in my bag in case my regular phone breaks during travel. It does text and make phone calls. Battery life is pretty bad, but i always have battery banks on me.

The only real daily use ive found is as a security camera monitor at work. Also I run easytether on it and my android to skirt tethering fees when needed.
Occasionally when on the road, i need a proper linux install to do something. Ive used it to troubleshoot networking things as well.

If anything its been more of a raspberry pi replacement than a phone replacement for me.

Something ive noticed from using wireguard from my phone is my traffic across the board slows down significantly while connected because everything is routed back home.

With tailscale can the user be connected, and only have a specific ip/domain routed through it? I also dont have access to the dvr's internal system to run tailscale from it.

Anyway thanks for the lead, im reading up now

dadarobot OP , 4 months ago

Oh that makes sense because when i originally set it up, i did want all traffic routed through it. I guess i didnt realize it didnt have to be

dadarobot OP , 4 months ago (edited 4 months ago)

Edit: just looked at your link. I think for the time being im going to use tailscale. Its a restaraunt, and they dont have a self-hosted server. Im trying to get around opening ports, so using an existing service. Your link did make me aware of cloudflare tunnels whick looks like it allows 50 users on a free plan vs tailscale's 3. Although the 3 might work for them, I'll have to check. Ill probably drop in an ngrok tunnel too so i can maintenence the pi remotely. (They are in a different state) i was mostly looking for advice on how to connect a port on one machine to another over a lan, and socat looks perfect

Actually, i found socat which seems to work just fine so far, and appears to be a standard linux command.

socat TCP4-LISTEN:8096 TCP4:192.168.86.2:8096

Thats a test i did with jellyfin at home
