Also Cryptpad.fr is a great collaborative and fully encrypted MS and Google office alternative. It even has a drawing tool embedded 💪

Nice overview! You could add self hosted location trackers like OwnTracks or FMD (Find My Device) as alternative to Apple’s “Find My” or “Friends” app and Google’s device find apps.

Also, Bazzite (Fedora Silverblue Gaming distro) would be a good addition to the gaming Distro category. Running that for about a year really stable, with Steam, Lutris and on Nvidia 3070.

Please keep updating the sheet! Im sharing it to friends and family.

In the Netherlands, bicyclists were always second place in deaths just behind people in cars. Most accidents which causes death are between a car and a bicycle. When the e-bike got trendy. We’ve seen a big spike in bicycle deaths in 2023 causing it to be the nr 1 cause of death in traffic. The Fat-bike is a big problem here. Its trendy among kids and realy easy to disable speed limiters. Percentage wise I couldn’t find anything this fast but it does look like people in cars just don’t see them or pay attention to them as the drive faster. I think cameras checking the surroundings is the best hope in getting those numbers down.

I’m really glad this is implemented! My kids both have an old revived laptop with Bazzite (Fedora Silverblue derivative) and GNOME, and the experience has been really good! With this I hope I can give my kids an alternative digital experience to big tech as part of a guide to better digital wellbeing.

Agreed.

French alternative: Vivlio. Ebooks, ereadera and cloud sync.

A good addition would be Cryptpad. Europeans hosted (french) fully encrypted and complete office suite as well as PM tools (Kanban, whiteboard), Diagrams (visio) and Code editors.

I bought a distiller for €60 capable of distilling 4 liters of water (about 1 gallon) en generates some heat. The electricity cost is way lower than buying 4 liters of distilled water, don’t need to throw away a 4 liter plastic bottles every time and the distiller heats up my room in the winter (when the air is dryest here).

The camera would need to have its IR filter removed which some mobile optical zoom lenses seem to have removed?! If the lidar would be stationary it would render the lidar beam unsafe for human eyes as well. Most lidars have a beam that is harmful if pointed directly for a longer period than you would blink if looking directly into something rally bright. Because they are infrared you don’t have that reaction. Therefore it is mounted on a very fast moving rotary disc. Most of the time the disc itself is also tilting up and down or refracted by a mirror or glass to get a bigger field-of-view". This article is saying, you can destroy a camera by pointing a laser in the sensor. Yeah, dûh but the lidar won’t break it, unless using a zoomed in sensor which seem to have its IR removed in some mobile cams. So yeah it can happen… Edit: looked at the reddit video some phones with IR filter removes from zoomed in lensen can have problems.

Yes! You can provider any path available to the user

I use Syncthing for this. This is peer-to-peer syncing so you don’t need a cloud service in between. Works well on all platforms.

I also use filen for encrypted cloud storage and nextcloud for mulitfunctional cloud storage and can work fine as well but nextcloud is much more complex and CPU intensive so the pi might struggle with certain operations as it retains much more information (databases and such).

Rpi4 can work with Syncthing (tested) because it works as a local webserver so you only need an OS with a browser (or do it all in the terminal). Doesn’t really matter which OS you use, most will work so Raspberry Pi OS for the pi is fine. Syncthing is in the official repo of Fedora and Opensuse.

That domain isn’t in use (yet?)

If reviews are good i’d definitely try it as an upgrade to my trusty Logitech Ergo M575

I know at least one kind that had a high degree of aluminium in it. But you also have cheaper kinds that dont have that.

What about heatsink thermal paste?

Did this using iodéOS which is a LineageOS distro with more degoogling and os level adblock and filtering build in. Works very well and has been stable for about the 4 heads that its running on my FP4.

I use Qwant, which is an actual alternative instead of Bing fronts hosted in France. Searx (like on disroot) is also an alternative but lesser relevant searches.
