I'm using Mint Cinnamon. This is my last roadblock to using Linux and not Windows. Over the last few weeks I've managed to find ways to configure linux versions of programs to work closely to the w...

Anyone recommend a video app for Android?
Yeah, sounds weird, every phone comes with the ability to record video, right?
Problem is the lack of settings, I'm pretty sure the videos I'm uploading here are far bigger than they need to be, I don't need 4K here, I don't need anything fancy, 1080 is fine, heck 720 would prolly be fine here, but I don't get any control on my phone. I do have an editing app that could prolly do it, but it'd be easier if'n it was just built into the recording app in the first place.

looking for a #foss program that allows me to draw in a pdf without annoying "splitting it into pages -> exporting it as an image -> doing the drawing -> converting back to pdf -> unite all the page-pdfs" workflow.

I just want to use my drawing tablet to fill in some forms that were made for printing the pages.

any recommendations?

EDIT: xournalpp works for me!

Hiya nerds,

I need a software recommendation. I'm looking for a file comparison tool, sort of like Meld for GNOME but a little more tailored to the experience of reconciling duplicate files on multiple hard drives.

The requirements
- #FOSS / #FLOSS
- Compares Files, tells you if it is on Drive A vs Drive B

The Nice To Haves
- Recursive
- Bitwise comparison (in case the paths or file names aren't exact)
- Multiple drives? Might be a stretch.
- MacOSX compatible, but failing that, Linux only is fine too

The Use Case
My partner has multiple hard drives that have acted as her ad-hoc digital backup solution for years. But not every drive has everything on it, and she's pretty sure some of it is redundant, sometimes even within the same drive.

She'd like to slim down her storage needs and KNOW for a fact where and what she has, and how many copies.

Hey fedi, is LUKS over iSCSI over the web a good idea?

Usecase would be personal storage for mostly media.
Exclusive mount is not really an issue, but still feels kinda meh.

My main concern is: does this work good enough in practice over not super-reliable links?
secondary: does it perform well enough?

Are there other setups with data encrypted on client that do not statically leak a ton of metadata like file structure?

Going nutty, anyone know of a free (preferably open source) remote support app for android? I'm on a Linux PC but need to support an Android device in another location.

Love RustDesk but it has to be side loaded and I'll be damned if I can get remote input to work on android.
