| IrcsomeBot_ | <Remstar> To keep the privacy on Linux while using apps such as Telegram or discord which is the best way to get these apps through distro or flatpaks? I ask cause I saw someone state that one of the methods stops the actual app from doing other accessing or just use apt to install? | 00:19 |
|---|---|---|
| oerheks | there is telegram snap, snap is native on kubuntu https://desktop.telegram.org/ | 00:34 |
| oerheks | discord i don' t know | 00:37 |
| Lore | It's `telegram-desktop` just in case. | 00:44 |
| Lore | The most safe is to download a Deb from their official site. | 00:45 |
| sarnold | depends what you want from 'privacy' -- if you don't trust the packager or the site, be careful, they get to run arbitrary code as root in the package maintainer scripts | 00:56 |
| Lore | Some do, but `snap` doesn't require root normally. | 00:59 |
| Lore | AppImage, and FlatPak, too, can operate without root. | 01:00 |
| Lore | Though, what sarnold states if sure valid. For instance, in case of Apt. | 01:00 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Remstar> Got it, thanks and also anyone use a backup up for there system? If so what's a good one? | 02:14 |

| oerheks | not tested it myself.. | 14:30 |
| oerheks | better: use the snap version | 14:30 |
| oerheks | https://snapcraft.io/spotify | 14:30 |
| Lore | mparillo, how are you sure it's Russian? | 15:26 |
| Lore | I mean... it looks like Belorussian or Ukranian even | 15:27 |
| Lore | Or doesn't it? | 15:27 |
| Lore | Remstar, regarding the backup mentioned. What level of backup is required? | 15:28 |
| veliyankode | google says it's russian | 15:28 |
| Lore | E.g. User files, the whole OS, the whole storage/drive? | 15:28 |
| Lore | veliyankode, I see. Amazing how easy it's today to determine a language... | 15:29 |
| veliyankode | Lore: i ordered an item from banggood in china. the seller used a translator to write to me | 15:30 |
| Lore | It's normally possible to differentiate simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, and even Taiwanese (though can be traditional Chinese) and the most common versions, but those interrelated versions alongside those is another level of wisdom... E.g. Mandarin vs Hakka | 15:37 |

| conor | hello | 19:00 |
| diego897x | Hi! Could someone help me with the following? I am running kubuntu 24.04 with Plasma 5.27.11.installed VS Code snap | 21:30 |
| diego897x | ...and everything works perfectly except when I try to open a folder or open a file from VS code itself. (I can open a folder in VS Code from Dolphin without any issues) | 21:30 |
| diego897x | Could this have something to do with the snap? Couldn't find anything on the googles. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks! | 21:31 |
| Lore | diego897x, greetings. The issue seems still unclear. | 21:34 |
| oerheks | folder outside your home? | 21:36 |
| diego897x | Hi Lore. Thanks for the reply, let me try again. VS Code has an "Open Folder..." option, which would normally open a file browser. In my case, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't freeze, nothing happens. | 21:37 |
| diego897x | Not a specific folder, I can't select one because the file explorer doesn't open | 21:38 |
| Lore | diego897x, I see. The selector does not open. | 21:38 |
| diego897x | Yes | 21:38 |
| oerheks | how did you install it? snap connections code # would show permissions | 21:40 |
| Lore | diego897x, is `xdg-desktop-portal`/`xdg-desktop-portal-kde` installed? | 21:40 |
| oerheks | sudo snap install --classic code ## would bypass all | 21:40 |
| Lore | `--classic` disables security snap defaults to. | 21:42 |
| oerheks | yes, or see what to do manually by; snap connections code | 21:43 |
| Lore | I'll try now installing it using snap, too. | 21:44 |
| oerheks | some post gives; systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon# not default enabled. ( but not sure about that) | 21:44 |
| Lore | I see... | 21:45 |
| Lore | > This revision of snap "code" was published using classic confinement and thus may perform... | 21:45 |
| diego897x | I installed it through Discover | 21:46 |
| Lore | Disovers allows selecting the source | 21:46 |
| Lore | Discover* | 21:46 |
| Lore | I would install such quite a project as VS Code, which updates quite frequently, thought their official references. | 21:47 |
| diego897x | *Distributed by Snap | 21:48 |
| Lore | I see. Discover shows only Snap option for VSCode. | 21:48 |
| Lore | diego897x, i.e. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux#_debian-and-ubuntu-based-distributions | 21:48 |
| diego897x | "Is `xdg-desktop-portal`/`xdg-desktop-portal-kde` installed?" - Yes on both counts | 21:49 |
| diego897x | Ok I see | 21:49 |
| Lore | Roger that. May I ask what does `snap connections code` show, o erheks mentioned? | 21:49 |
| diego897x | I get nothing in the terminal wehn running snap connections code | 21:52 |
| Lore | That's the reason then I believe. | 21:54 |
| Lore | diego897x, does `snap list` show `classic` in the "Notes" column for `code` package? | 22:00 |
| diego897x | Yes. code fabdb6a3 179 latest/stable vscode✓ classic | 22:01 |
| Lore | Then it should work regardless... Interesting. | 22:01 |
| Lore | Have you tried reinstalling it just to be sure? E.g. `snap remove code && snap install code` | 22:02 |
| Lore | If the same happens, I would definitely try stracing. | 22:03 |
| Lore | E.g. Launch VSCode, get its PID, prepare for the moment to open a folder/file, start stracing via attach, try opening, stop stracing. | 22:04 |
| Lore | A command for strace could be: `strace -ffs 999999 -o '/tmp/strace_vscode.trace' -p "$pid";` | 22:05 |
| Lore | Then search all the strace outputs files for anything relevant. | 22:06 |
| diego897x | Thank you Lore, I'll try that and if not I'll see to use the .deb | 22:28 |
| IrcsomeBot_ | <Remstar> For file backup on KDE it would be best to use one that works with KDE right? | 23:04 |
| Lore | What does mean "file backup on KDE"? | 23:08 |
| Lore | What does it mean to "file backup on KDE"?* | 23:09 |
| Lore | Remstar, so... I'll presume "just data", regardless the OS. In such case, have you tried the standard `tar -cvpzf /mnt/remote/backup.tar.gz --one-file-system -- /` and `rsync`? | 23:51 |
| Lore | If not, have you tried more custom modern options like Restic? | 23:52 |
