  • That's link rot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_rot I warned you that it's expected for such an old device. If noone mirrors the links in the thread you are out of luck to find old roms. Maybe you can try to message the original uploaders, maybe they still have the files on some old drive. Maybe look at the end of the thread.

  • This phone is 3G only, so it's possible that mobile data won't work anymore, shutdown of 3G networks are ongoing worldwide. Here where I live all carriers switched off their 3G networks. Wikipedia has a list with shutdown dates per country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G#Phase-out You can still use this phone with wifi though.

    I found some threads about this phone on xda, there are some tutorials on how to get started with no rom flashing experience. But these threads are old, so expect rotten links. https://xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s-duos-2.4723/

    I recommend this one after a quick glance through the threads: https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-5-1-1-cm-stable-unofficial-cm12-1-galaxy-s-duos-2-trend-plus-s7580-s7582.3225297/ It has detailed instructions, stable and 5+. Most Android apps nowadays require Android 5+.

    The official name of this phone is Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus, and it's really similar to S Duos 2, also search for those.

  • This is a gem:

    Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it was a good idea to read things ONE FCKING BYTE AT A TIME with system calls for each byte should be retroactively aborted. Who the fck does idiotic things like that? How did they noty die as babies, considering that they were likely too stupid to find a tit to suck on?

    But my favorite is not from a mailing list, but a google+ post for opensuse developers:

    If you have anything to do with security in a distro, and think that my kids (replace ‘my kids’ with ‘sales people on the road’ if you think your main customers are businesses) need to have the root password to access some wireless network, or to be able to print out a paper, or to change the date-and-time settings, please just kill yourself now. The world will be a better place

  • That's install dependencies (in PKGBUILD they are called makedepends), python programs usually need them for runtime (depends in PKGBUILD). On the main page of a package they are listed together, but on the PKGBUILD they are separate

  • Beside what @fatihozs@mastodon.social wrote:

    • If the package wants to install an awful amount of dependencies it means those dependencies are only used by that package on my system. Flatpaks contains all dependencies, so the required disk space would be similar to the flatpak.
    • My feeling is flatpak install time is quicker in this case, to install 1 flatpak vs 138 AUR packages. I never measured it though.
    • I only do this if an insane amount of dependencies needed. Some dependencies are normal, if more than 50 than I think AUR is not an ideal way to distribute a software, or also include a -bin package.
    • If no flatpak available I still install the 137 dependencies, so nothing wrong with that, it's simply the way I like to manage my system.
  • Yeah, that's what you put in a compose file, and you shouldn't care about anything else, port mappings can be read from the Dockerfile if it's not documented, and if the container was built correctly you shouldn't care about config files.

    I never met a container with 0 documentation. You can read the Doockerfile at least, it's not magic.

    I mean, I can understand why someone want to use HAOS and neber deal with such things, but if someone can set up HA in a container, the second and third container from there is not an unbelivably big step.

  • You still haven't answered to the question why, so follow the other general solutions, and I still think something is inherently wrong with your workflow, but for some reason you won't tell us.

    Also search for bookmark managers, you can sync pages with them between browsers.

  • Can you check the package names of the apps? On F-droid website you can see it in the url, for example https://f-droid.org/packages/com.jens.automation2/ the code is com.jens.automation2. You should see the same name on the page of the app in settings if you scroll down.

    If the names are the same than nothing nefarious should be happening behind the scenes.

    Unknown source can mean it's not from a built-in store. If you would be rooted and install the F-droid Privileged Extension it should show up there correctly. Maybe they just block reading this kind of info from F-droid.

    On common Xiaomi phones the rom cooking community is very vivid usually, you can just replace the shitty default rom really easily. Start to look for roms and tutorials about rooting on xdaforums

  • I'm running official Lineage, and it saves this data and I found no button for it, so I guess it's not just Samsung only..

    You can automate stuff like this on android, Easer and Automation are well known FOSS apps for these kind of tasks. IIRC in Easer you can call terminal commands

  • There's no rational reason

    I don't share screenshot frequently, and I store them for a long time, in 10 years in the future this data can be useful, I won't remember what phone and rom I had, so it can be useful for some people. I also store gps data in my photos' exifs, but again I never share them on the public internet.

    But a button to switch it onoff would be useful, that's true.
