• KDE connect stops working after suspension

  Hi guys! Seems my KDE connect will stop being able to connect with my phone after my computer goes to sleep. After it wakes, it dectects no devices anymore. It seems to work again after a reboot. Any idea why might this happen? KDE Neon, based off of Ubuntu 24.04, kernel 7.0.0-28-generic. Thanks!

• Help... Stuck with cloudflare loop. Firefox only so far

  Hi guys! Most of my pages today are not working, as I’m stuck on a cloudflare loop. This seems to happen in Firefox and waterfox, so far. I’ve tested the ‘troubleshooting mode’, which opens with all defaults and no extensions, but still the same issues. Ungoogled chromium seems to work, but that’s not a browser I’d like to use. What can i test?

• Recommendations for a universal TV remote?

  So…this is very tangentially related to Self Hosting, but hear me out… We travel frequently, either for work or leisure. As a self-hoster, I always bring an Nvidia shield player on my travel bag, to connect to my Jellyfin host from whichever hotel we might be staying at, to watch at night for example. But increasingly, this is becoming a pain in the butt. As most TVs aren’t directly hooked anymore to just the antenna or the hotel’s connection. No, they usually will be hooked to an Android bo...

• Use CachyOS-style ZRAM on Ubuntu?

  Hi guys! I’m a bit tired that my system sometimes completely becomes unresponsive while running things that could fill up the memory. I have 32GB of RAM, a bit of a swap file in my SSD (I think something like 5GB swap), but this clearly isn’t cutting it. I was having a few browser windows opened, a handbrake encoding that was paused and decided to open Death Stranding 2, which is optimized to take around 5-6GB of RAM. And the system became once more so unresponsive that I had to literally reset...

• Help with...Adobe Acrobat DC Pro

  So…yeah, I know about the ragebait. So…my gf is testing the waters with Linux, moving away from Mac. I have a cute Chuwi Minibook X laptop in which I installed KDE Neon for her, with a bit of a Mac theming. Could have chosen ElementaryOS, but ah well. At any rate, her pain point is ADobe Acrobat, which she uses constantly to edit PDF files in all sort of ways, adding pictures, cutting/pasting parts on other PDFs, modifying paragraphs and changing the arrangements and so on… I’m having a bit of...

• Editing PDFs contents

  Hi guys! I’m considering some tool to edit the texts and images within a PDF. What would be some decent recommendations? So far I think the only with a semblance of working has been Libreoffice Draw, but it messed the formatting quite a lot (the arrangement is very much off in many pages, the text splits incorrectly, some images pop up duplicated and so on). But so far it’s the only one I’ve seen actually allowing me to play with the PDF contents. Are there any other/better options? Thanks!
