That’s a pretty good idea. However, I removed individual keys and will make something with those letters.

A Teensy board would cost a lot more than a really nice new keyboard. Thanks for this guide, though. It helped me learn a lot.

I was literally picking my nose when I saw this! 😭

I have a cheap controller that has 2 modes, xinput and dinput, which automatically gets selected. If I plug it into a Windows PC it gets detected as X input and the controller shows a blue light and everything works including the rumble motors and pressure sensitive triggers. If I connect it to a Linux PC or any Android device via an OTG or if I connect that dongle directly into my Android TV, the controller shows a purple light and it gets detected as D input.

However, there is a small workaround that works for me is that when I connect that dongle into my PC when it is turned off and then I turn it on while the dongle is already connected. The controller shows a blue light and everything works normally. It is not detected as a D input device, it is detected as an X input device and everywhere, including steam, it is detected as an Xbox 360 controller.

This workaround, I did not know before but it is available or written on arch wiki. Here is the link. There is another way to always connect that device as an xinput device rather than relying on turning the PC on or off. It requires sudo permissions but I never got it to work properly, I always have to rely on rebooting the PC.

Mullvad. It’s cheaper than Proton. But Proton has more servers. Like Proton even provies Indian IPs, but the servers are hosted in Singapore, which may be something people need, as Mullvad do not have any servers with Indian IPs.

You can also try IVPN, it is almost same like Mullvad, no email for account, pay using Monero etc, but you can get a one week subscription for $2.

From the scratch?

You must first invent the universe.

If your ISP blocks port forwarding, this guide can help.

It is there in Other Options. But IDK why OP says it’s Russian. Ascensio System Ltd is British.

I have been using Mullvad Extended for a long time. It is great, but does have many false positives. They sometimes block some Indian government domains.

I would say DoT is more than fine. Here are their official instructions.

I would recommend using a native app, rather than a web app. If on Android, you can get Element or Element X from f-droid. Or you can also get third party apps like Fluffy Chat.

TeleGuard is not FOSS. We cannot be sure what they do. Plus, the control of their servers is centralised.

When using Element, you can decide which server to use. Also, all the appa are open source, the servers are too. You can host your own server too. I think vector (to identify people using email and phone number) is not libre.

I use Element with chat.tchncs.de as my server.

There’s a lot of reasons why I think Signal on an iPhone may not be as private as on a FOSS Android ROM.

First thing is that you are probably getting your notifications from an Apple server. While Apple cannot see the message content, it os possible that they are still collecting some metadata, as when is the user receiving messages, etc.

Second, the usage of keyboard. I cannot prove that Apple is keylogging your every keyboard stroke, but I don’t think anyone can disprove it either. On Android, we always ask users to use a FOSS keyboard, as some keyboard apps look at the screen and read messages to “provide better text prediction”.

Last is app usage metadata. Apple is still storing all the information about how many times you unlock the phone and how much you use Signal, how many times you open the app in a day, when and (maybe even) why you open the app. Which photos you are sharing through your photos app with Signal, such information is also valuable.

I would say most of your conversations are private, as Signal’s developers are very knowledgeable and they know what they are doing.

But if you have a skeptical mind like I do, or even like most people here do, I would not trust them a bit because of their proprietary code. You cannot be completely sure what they are doing. You just have to trust Apple, which most of here don’t.

This guide can you help you expose your services in a relatively safe way.

Thanks! I will definitely look into it.

My app is nothing compared to the features Open WebUI. I just wanted to make a simple native app. Honestly, I made this just because I wanted to see if I can make something like that.

Also, Open WebUI is slightly complex for someone who is not into self-hosting. My app is for someone who just installs Ollama on their laptop or any computer and has exposed it to on the local network.

That’s odd. I did test it on Mint.

Can you run it via a terminal and tell me if it shows any errors?

If setting up official docker container looks hard, check out linuxserver.io’s docker container for Jellyfin. Even HWA is very easy.

I have used an old MacBook Air as a home server with Fedora for about 2 years. Fedora with Podman can be great, especially when you can use Cockpit (a GUI for managing containers), which is pre-installed and perfectly integrated.

Another option is to use TrueNAS. I can also recommend OpenMediaVault.

For exposing your services on the internet I suggest caution. If your ISP does not let you forward your ports, you can read this. https://blog.aiquiral.me/bypass-cgnat

Wow. You either have a very good memory, or you have a lot of time.

I-

I don’t get it. What’s 24? And why is the first dialogue on the right, considering English is a left to right reading language?

And no, I don’t think you’re a bad artist. No one’s a bad artist. Everyone has their own way of expressing and drawing.
