  1. I wonder if KDE Connect/GSConnect will ever have the option of starting a phone from your PC?

    #KDEConnect #gsconnect #foodforthought

  2. I have an open question.

    I currently use LocalSend to move files from my computer to my phone. Usually map files, and music.

    How does KDE Connect impact battery life on the phone?

    It does more, but since it's always running, I'm curious how significant it's impact.

    Personnellement, je trouve Drawio beaucoup plus pratique que #Freeplane .

    Je détaille aussi comment utiliser #KdeConnect comme télécommande pour faire défiler le diaporama lors d'une conférence.

  9. thanks to #kdeconnect / #gsconnect and #unison I have a #syncthing like experience.

    I only have to start the sync manually via terminal, which actually is ok.
    Because my wife uses only her smartphone, I can sync weekly my digital heritage (all the important files in #cryptomator) to her phone.
    This way she has all the stuff she needs in case a an accident or death.

    #linux or #foss is so great, because you find easy and family friendly solutions without the cloud

  10. Man... #Android

    Ok, I have this love/hate relationship with #mobile #hardware. I... mostly ignore my #phone. I have an R8 and a #DAC and I ignore most of my phone calls. Since I've been using #LineageOS with no google apps for so long, I don't really care about banking apps or payment apps. I have plastic cards. Don't we all?

    It's for this reason I was so ready to accept #Matrix and #XMPP, considering between them and #kdeconnect, I can continue any discussions on my desktop that I had on my phone, and mostly leave my phone behind, hell, even my steam deck.

    So when it comes time that I probably, really, responsibly SHOULD upgrade my phone, I'm such a groaning old boomer about it, because I couldn't possibly care less about what phone I carry and I'm never ready to forcibly spend $300... again, for something I'll immediately hate, because Android hasn't gotten better since 2016 due to enshitty #google.

    So, I think... this time, I've decided to just keep ignoring it. I carry a #Oneplus 7 pro, and I have a Oneplus 6 that's solid that I can use as a backup if the #OP7pro dies. Sure, there's the whole issue that maybe my device drivers have a bug that's been exploited by hackers at this point because #Lineage only updates Android, not firmware... but, really, even the companies you buy your phone from are maliciously #spying on you. Why should my care start at random hackers, but stop at everyone everyone else that fingerprints me?

    The real use I have of my phone is my mom letting me know if she or the place we rent are in danger while I'm at work, or out and about, or if I get lost or mauled by a bear in the woods because my natural safe-place is a hiking trail. That's about it. Does it take decent photos? Don't care. Screen? Don't care. Performance? Don't care... to a point. Base, utilitarian performance is well and good. I'm not gaming on it.

    I'm just so jaded with it all. Maybe I'll go #motorola this round so I can have a Lineage-capable phone that doesn't cost me much to have recent hardware.

    >why don't you buy a Pix-

    Because it pays #Google and I'm a cheapskate.

    >...with an R8

  11. Tech Care makeover on a budget #1

    As we establish our co-op, we bring with us our philosophy of technology. Our approach is based upon principles of privacy and sustainability. The best way to show off our style in the early days of our co-op is to generate a hypothetical scenario (based on upon experiences with clients). In the future, we'll hopefully have permission to illustrate actual client makeovers so we can take some nice photos of their setups. Early days! Hypothetical client Jamie, 57 is a unionised postie for […]

  12. No estoy familiarizada con el vocabulario que usan y tardo en comprender a qué hacen referencia cuando me explican.


    Eso es normal.
    Asi es aprender.
    Descuida, acceptalo y sacate la ficha de que eso sea raro, malo o negativo.
    Es asi.
    Observalo y disfruta ver como tus neuronas generan nuevas conexiones y "se te prenden las luces".
    Tu mente no se gasta, solo crece y se interconecat cada ves mas!

    Preguntaba si al formatear el pendrive queda como nuevo o se pierde espacio de memoria.


    Queda siempre como nuevo, no se gasta.

    Ambas computadoras tienen wifi con #Windows.


    Ta.
    Instala en todos los windows y tu cellular #KDEconnect. Con eso intercambias archivos entre equipos de la misma red WIFI con dos clicks.

    fue fácil conectar internet desde #Linux, aunque Mozilla no anda.


    bien, tomate una semana con el #USB asi como esta para investigar el linux que tiene. para conocer, comprender y familiarisarte. Despues probamos la superficie #XFCE.

    Había dejado de usar la #notebook con #win7 para el trabajo porque tiene 12 años y es lenta la placa de video. Pero tuve un problema con la licencia de #Autocad en la #PC de escritorio y ahora necesito usar ambas PC.


    Desinstala de la notebook todos los programas, incluyendo antivirus, navegadores, email, todo todito y daja solo autocad.
    Terminaras usando un pendrive por si acaso cuando viajas con tu laptop o visitas clientes para poder usar #internet con LINUX y punto.

    Consegui un disco usado barato pero en buen estado para la compu para instalar en el linux. Asi tendras el disco de #win10 existente como esta en un disco y linux en el otro. Cuando arancas la compu te preguntara arancar LINUX o windows y ta. Borra las conatrasenias de wifi de las instalaciones windows, asi no pueden entrar mas en internet y estaras seguro ante ataques externos. De ahi en adelante el unico peligro sera a traves de archivos que tu envies desde KDEconect o ingresen desde USB o CD\DVD.

    Mi temor es que deje de funcionar en ambas con esto del fin del soporte.


    Despreocupate.
    Lo que funciona funciona.
    Mas aun si no tienen mas accesso a tu instalacion desde internet.
    Lo de fin de soporte es respecto a virus y bugs. Sin internet el peligro es practicamente cero. Sin programas "comunes" como #Office y #Excel dificil que te lleguen archivos malignos o que dichos archivos tengan angulos de ataque.

    Solamente tenes que asegurarte de que las "descargas de modelos 3D de muebles, etc." sean de fuentes fiables.

    No estoy segura de invertir todo el tiempo que veo requiere hacer funcionar Linux.


    No lo dudes, no te arepentiras jamas. posta

    Ya es molesto intercambiar archivos de una PC Windows a la otra para pasar de Autocad a 3D y viceversa


    KDEconnect resuelve eso. La ventaja es que siempre tenes copias de seguridad en diferentes equipos. Eso vale muchismo.

    para además agregar un tercer escritorio con Linux.


    Simplemenet tenes que entender y acceptar de que:
    LINUX = Internet
    Windows = trabajo de escritorio e diseño

    Cuanto vale manejo de dinero seguro?
    Internet es manejo de dinero.
    LINUX es internet seguro.

    Cuanto vale tu privacidad y comunicacion privada y comercial?
    LINUX es privacidad y comunicacion privada y segura.

    Gracias por la paciencia! 🙏

  13. I cannot get my #GooglePixel9 #Android to connect to my #Kubuntu #2404 #desktop with #KDEconnect. They do not see each other, even with both VPNs off. I even entered the IP but, still nothing.

    Brad Linder of Liliputing published an article titled How to use laptop or tablet as a touchpad (and keyboard) for a Windows PCHe turned an Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet into a touchpad and keyboard using a proprietary app called Unified Remote (which also required setting up Google Play Store on the Fire tablet). I was surprised he did not mention my preferred solution. KDE Connect is free, open source, and can allow Android devices to function as touchpads and keyboards (I previously covered some of my favorite open source Android apps). I seldom use it for that purpose (my main KDE Connect use-case is sending and receiving SMS messages from my computer), but it works well. Moreover, people with Fire tablets can install KDE Connect without needing to mess around with Google Play Store.

    I will note in a small aside that I have only used KDE Connect on Linux PCs. While I understand that it is available for Windows, I am not certain that it works exactly the same as on Linux.

  17. Shell two-liner to watch your phone battery via KDE Connect while charging (or discharging):

    alias kcbatt='qdbus6 org.kde.kdeconnect /modules/kdeconnect/devices/$(grep -Em1 "^\[[0-9a-f_]+\]" ~/.config/kdeconnect/trusted_devices |tr -dc 0-9a-f_)/battery org.kde.kdeconnect.device.battery.charge'
    
    ob=0; while b=$(kcbatt); do if ((ob!=b)); then date "+%H:%M $b%%"; ob="$b"; fi; sleep 5; done

    I am almost certain that you are never ever obligated to provide the actual messages, because this seems to be an network communication error totally unrelated to the SMS in question.

    Do be so kind to at least check out what you have to provide in the bug reports without doing anything. Please tell me if I am wrong or correct with my assumption, when you have had the time to do so

  21. This is one of the many powerful Network tools that you get when you install KDE connect on your Android devices.

    As you can see here I am playing back AntennaPod and controlling it over the network which is built with a battery powered Wi-Fi router / gateway connecting my Android devices.
    So I literally have a mobile Wi-Fi routing Network where I can control through KDE connect many features of those devices transparently as if I'm on one device only

  22. Also #KDEConnect ist schon was feines und macht #Warpinator schon überflüssig. Beides ist tolle Software und #FOSS. Vorteil von Warpinator ist, man schaltet es ein, überträgt die Daten, schaltet aus. Spart Strom.
    KDEConnect ist dauerhaft aktiv und verbraucht Strom. Vorteil hier: Vieeel mächtiger und mehr Möglichkeiten.

  23. Stavo pensando: da ora che ho la tastiera più piccolina per il #PC, e mi sa che mi trovo parecchio meglio ad usare lo #smartphone come #touchpad (per certi versi più comodo del #mouse normale per me) rispetto a quando avevo quella grossa, potrei quasi quasi comprarlo un touchpad #USB… 😁️

    E però oh, non si trovano a un prezzo decente, né su Amazon né su AliExpress, eccetto per uno micragnoso brutto minuscolo (che comunque per il #prezzo è un insulto eh)… #mannaggia!!! E persino da alcuni cinesi locali non ho trovato; forse dovrei cercare meglio in tutti, ma a questo punto neanche ho la certezza di trovare qualcosa, figuriamoci di bono. 😩️

    Altrimenti, questa è forse la volta buona che trovo un utilizzo pratico per il mio vecchio #Huawei distrutto, che sta nel cassetto a marcire (il vetro c’ha lo #spacc, ma il #digitizer funziona, e al tatto non c’è problema perché c’è una pellicola intatta sopra)… perché certamente col telefono primario, che mi serve per altro ed è pure bello cicciotto non posso andare avanti così. Preferirei comunque un vero touchpad però perché #KDEConnect #lagga, a meno di trovare #app alternative (o forse mi basta collegare il #telefono al PC con il #tethering USB?) 🐁️

    Alors ce soir j'esaie de connecter mon /e/ teracube à mon PC linux Mint avec #Warpinator : impossible, #Rusdesk : impossible, #KDEConnect : impossible ! Ç a me met dans une rage folle, ça fonctionne parfois mais souvent, ça ne fonctionne pas !
    C'est pas le bon point pour /e/ ou #teracube !

  25. #google #kdeconnect #fdroid #playstore #monopolisation

    Google tut mal wieder so, als wenns die digitale Weltherrschaft anstrebt...
    Macht mich supersauer, sowas.

    golem.de/news/play-protect-goo

    Ich hab schon beim Lesen, bevor überhaupt der Absatz zum Wettbewerbsrecht kam, gedacht, dass das Wettbewerbsverzerrung ist und Monopolbildung, was rechtlich unzulässig ist.
    Jetzt weiss ich, warum ich die meisten Google Sachen an meinem Tablet deaktiviert hab und unter anderem froh bin, ein Tablet zu haben ohne neuere Softwareupdates (weil halt alt). Manchmal ist alt echt viel besser als neu... 😅
    Für mich wär das ne Katastrophe, wenn KDE Connect nicht mehr gehen würde. Ich mach superviel mit der App und nutzt die jeden Tag mehrmals.
    Macht mich echt richtig sauer, sowas. Auch wenn ich ein Glück nicht betroffen bin.

  26. Sagt mal, gibt es so eine Art universelle #floss #MPRIS #media #key #Fernbedienung für #Android? #GMote und #Remuco scheinen echt 'ne Lücker hinterlassen zu haben... ? 🙏

    #KDEconnect ist mir zu viel (#xfce4 hier).

    Alternativ nehme ich auch Tipps entgegen, wie man den #SayonaraPlayer fernsteuert, Browser URL zeigt nur Gibberish an, 🤷
