Android question:

When I got a new phone, all my Google Play apps were automatically installed from a backup, and, crucially, the icons were arranged into folders in the same way.

On the other hand, I needed to manually reinstall all f-droid apps and recreate the layout of my home screen.

Is there a way to back up the organization of non-Google-Play apps on my home screen? This would make getting a new phone a lot more convenient.

Note that I am NOT asking about backing up app data: I already have backups of all app data I care about.

I have an unrooted Pixel 6a.

To expand upon my previous post:
tech.lgbt/@Tourma/114395266121

I have another question. What is a good, full image backup that will run on Windows and Debian-based Linux?

My current thought is that I will turn my machine fully into a Linux Mint one with no Dual boot. But. I still want a 100% backup of my current machine in case I fuck things up. Something that I can load and it will fully replace my "C:" / "/sda1" with what is saved.

Like, I install Linux Mint, and something isn't working right. I can boot this software, hit load or install or something, and it will put Windows back on my machine just as it was.

I hope to never need it...but.

LGBTQIA+ and TechDawn Tåke 🌙 :sparkletrans: (@Tourma@tech.lgbt)Thinking about having to move to Windows 11 again. On one hand, I'd like a dual boot with Mint. On the other, I'd like to just buy a really fast thumbdrive use this program I've seen than makes a portable Win11 boot and just have Mint on my good PC. The downside I've been thinking of thus far if using the portable is that I wanted to do that *and* minimize the spying Windows can do on me. But thinking atm, if it's only plugged in when I need it, do I give a shit on the few things they're spying on me for? In all likelihood, Steam or EGS already know what I'm doing because those are the few games I have that are Windows-only. Hm. #Windows #Windows11 #Win11 #Linux #LinuxMint #TourmaLinux

My workstation crashes hard, whenever I leave it alone for long enough for the monitors to turn off. Once that happens, the machine is hard-locked. NumLock doesn't toggle, SSH'ing into the machine is not possible any more.

I'm running Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.

Does anyone know how to diagnose this? There's nothing in the dmesg / syslog, it just fully hangs.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an existing technical solution for this:

I would like to run something like a #DokuWiki internally to collect and manage #information for employees.
On top of that, I'd love to have a #search system where users can ask questions in natural language, and the system would either:
+ understand the question and answer it based on the knowledge stored in the #wiki, or
+ point users directly to the relevant section or page within the wiki.


Does anything like this already exist?
#Recommendations are very welcome!

I need an eReader, and looking for suggestions for what I should get. Currently I have an old kindle paperwhite that I would like to discontinue using because Amazon is uuuuh, not good. Not good at all. But using actual books are too heavy for me and causes my joints to sublaxte while I'm reading. So I need an eReader so im able to still read as much as I want without causing injury to myself.

my computer nerd army: my power button in my zalman z11 case is broken down, to the point i have to jumpstart the cables themselves to turn on my pc sometimes. i have other methods in place currently to get onto my pc but i'd like to have a functioning power button again. can anyone give me recs on either 1) how to DIY fix it, 2) a new case that would fit my current equipment, or 3) a workaround that allows me to turn off my pc without too much trouble?

i will be replying to this post with my current stuff

Hey Mac folks, have you ever used the sweet little app called "Grand Perspective”?

It's been in my toolkit of free and extremely useful tools for years.

It shows the files on a harddrive represented by large blocks... you can hover over them and see what they are.

The two biggest here are my iMovie Library (no “big” surprise) and iPhoto Library.

But there are also some I forgot about... like the Windows 11 partition (orange double block in the middle), or how big Civilization 6 is, (yellow on the right edge)

Love this app!!

I’m new to Discord as my university and a club I joined use it. I have some questions about the iOS app:
• How do I join servers? There’s a list from my university, but nothing happens when I double-tap them.
• I have two mentions, but I’m not sure how to view them while in a channel.

Any other tips on how Discord works and how to use it are most welcome! #Discord #TechHelp #Accessibility

hey, a forum i'm helping with has been being hit with a lot of non-bot-identified activity from guest browsers. this forum is pretty well established, but has not been active enough to warrant 50 guest users in 4 minutes.

assuming it's scrapers, does anyone have tips for circumventing them? i've provided a list of some entries for robots.txt already, but would love more tips.

Edit: I have now been given a couple of links explaing what I need to do and how to do it.
Thank you.

WordPress advice please.

Is there a way to temporarily take my website off line while I have a think about what I have it for and where I want it to go?
I don't want to delete anything, but I do want to be able to shuffle stuff about and make changes but without any of it being 'live' and visible until I am ready.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with my self-hosted setup using Caddy 2.9.1 and Authelia 4.38.19. All domains except auth.laniecarmelo.tech return a 401 Unauthorized error. Journald logs suggest issues with insecure schemes ('') instead of https or wss.

Details:

  • Setup: Caddy as reverse proxy, Authelia for authentication
  • Domains: AdGuard Home, Forgejo, LinkAce, MiniFlux, TheLounge, Homepage, Beszel, Glances, Uptime Kuma, Tandoor Recipes, BookStack, Watchtower, Portainer
  • Logs:
    Authelia:
    Feb 24 21:01:47 stormux authelia[2932]: level=error msg="Target URL '/' has an insecure scheme '', only 'https' and 'wss' are supported"Caddy:
    Feb 24 21:19:41 stormux caddy[48845]: {"msg":"handled request","method":"GET","host":"adguard.laniecarmelo.tech","status":200}

Configurations:

Curl Output:

HTTP Request:

$ curl home.laniecarmelo.tech -v
< HTTP/1.1 308 Permanent Redirect
< Location: https://home.laniecarmelo.tech/

HTTPS Request:

$ curl https://home.laniecarmelo.tech -v
< HTTP/2 401 
< content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
< server: Caddy
401 Unauthorized

Does anyone know what might be causing this? I suspect it could be related to forward_auth or trusted proxies.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hello, #Rstats people: I'm on linux and use #R2U for installing most packages. Well, right now I'm getting a timeout/not-found error for r2u.stat.illinois.edu

I'm trying to figure out the problem, but for now it would be really helpful if there was another r2u mirror/server. I am searching online and only finding this one. Is the whole r2u project really managed by only one server in Illinois? I am assuming there are other servers, but I can't find a list.

Any hints?
