I have searched the settings in the app, but didn't found such a setting. I want to have bigger thumbnails for posts with images and link previews. Is that available or if not can this be implemented? I have added a screenshot from "Thunder" with exact such bigger thumbnails. Can this be done?

Creating *.desktop files for WIndows/Wine applications, specify sometimes a Icon like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Game to start
Comment=Play this game on Steam
Exec=steam steam://rungameid/738520
Icon=steam_icon_738520
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game;

with Icon=steam_icon_738520. Is this extracted from the *.exe file and how do i get the name mentioned here? I know, that i can use the path to a *.png, but i would prefer to use the *.exe file itself.

In einem Projekt schiebe ich Video von meinen Kameras in ein Verzeichnis auf den Rasperry Pi4. Ein Cronjob geht dieses Verzeichnis dann durch und konvertiert diese Videos mit ffmpeg. Seit letzter Woche schlägt dies fehl. Folgendes Kommando wird dabei benutzt: ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/4B9A9487.MP4" -vf format=yuv420p -c:v h264_v4l2m2m -b:v 8M -c:a aac -movflags +faststart "/tmp/4B9A9487_cv.mp4". Für einige Video klapp dies, für andere erhalte ich die Fehlermeldung: [h264_v4l2m2m @ 0x558fae9600] Could not find a valid device.

Das es aber für einige funktioniert, für andere nicht, glaube ich nicht, das dies am fehlenden device liegt. Denn wenn ich die Auflösung des Videos reduziere, funktioniert es durchaus. So klappt folgender Befehl mit den bisher fehlgeschlagenen Videos problemlos: ffmpeg -y -i "/tmp/4B9A9487.MP4" -vf format=yuv420p -c:v h264_v4l2m2m -b:v 8M -s 1280x720 -c:a aac -movflags +faststart "/tmp/4B9A9487_cv.mp4".

Geändert hat sich nur die Angabe der Auflösung mit -s 1280x720. Das Input Video hat hier 3840x2160. Ich vermute daher das der Rasperry Pi hier irgendwo mit 3840x2160 nicht mehr klar kommt und daher abbricht.

Was ist denn die maximale Auflösung die der Rasperry Pi hier unterstützt?

On Samsung Phones. there is a function called "Auto Blocker". If this is enabled, this blocks installing apps from unknown sources and via USB and ADB. In principle, this is a useful feature, but it also prevents the installation of updates via F-Droid. Even if F-Droid is classified as trustworthy in general and can therefore theoretically install apps and updates automatically, activating this function prevents automatic updates. If this function is deactivated, new apps and updates are installed automatically on request.

Is there a way to activate this function and still receive automatic updates via F-Droid? Does the installation of the F-Droid.apk via ADB/USB change anything in this constellation?

As my time with linux, I created a lot of scripts. Some of them have input parameters and sometimes I just forget this parameters.

So I wonder if there is some way to create autocomplete parameters, like i autocomplete a path by pressing the tab key?

For example a script. ./test.sh can be completed with parameter-one, eg. ./test.sh parameter-one or ./test.sh parameter-two. If i type now ./test.sh followed by tab it should add parameter-one if i press tab again it should change to parameter-two.

How can I do that? I'm on bash…

When I send a notification with notify-send -i /path/to/my/icon.png "title" "message" , it appears wonderfully in Gnome 47.4. However, the icon is very tiny. According to the screenshots I saw, the icon can be very large. It is also obviously displayed in addition to the app icon. Is there a way to send such an icon in the message or another way to create desktop notifications?

A new version of Roundcube Photos has been released. New in 1.5.6 is the feature to share images with Mastodon, including multiple images. The manual generation of tokens has been removed, as the plugin now logs on to a Mastodon or Pixelfed instance as an autonomous app. The Timeline view and various internal improvements and bug fixes are also new. You can find the new version, as usual, on https://codeberg.org/Offerel/Roundcube_Pictures

I have problems with Formfill and i don't understand how Firefox works here. Obviously, no form data is saved for me. The saving of form data is activated in the settings under Security, in the History section. No data is deleted when closing the application. Even in a freshly created profile, without special settings and plugins, the saving of form data no longer works.

I have also tried to fill out the form at https://www.roboform.com/filling-test-all-fields. No data is saved. With Chrome, however, this is not a problem. Is there a hidden setting or is this a bug?

For me, the browser is by far the most important software on my computer. After all, I use it about 80% of the time on my PC. At the moment, it's more difficult than ever to find the right browser, at least for me. Until about a year ago, it was usually using Firefox. But for some time now I have lost all trust in Firefox. What the vendor promises is in complete contrast to what the software does by default. User tracking in various forms, unsolicited telemetry, remote installation of add-ons are just the very top reasons why I no longer want to use Firefox. Brave is an alternative, but I don't feel very comfortable with it. The default settings are not ideal here either. What's more, it's packed with extras that nobody needs. In the end, I currently use Ungoogled Chromium, fully aware that I don't always have the latest version installed.

Now there's also Midori. I can't figure it out. What should I make of it? To me it looks like a forked Firefox that lags far behind the current version. I think it's currently Firefox 128.xxx. Doesn't this mean I'm getting the same problems as with Firefox itself, plus an outdated version? What about tracking, telemetry and security problems? What do you think of this browser? In Wikipedia, i read that Midori uses WebKit? Is it not Gecko? And what is a Floorp? The Infos about this browser are really confusing.

Somehow I still seem to have a hard time dealing with Fediverse and Co. Currently with Pixelfed. I'm looking for hashtags like #eosr7 or #irishwolfhound on my instance, but no results will be found. But I created such posts myself with these hashtags. If you can't find results through the search, you can't add the hashtag to the "followed hashtags". If I click on such a hashtag in my posts, I can subscribe to it.

Why can't I find posts via the search forhashtags?

I try to build a tower for fuel generators. I could get 4 generators at the bottom running. The fuel is inserted from the top and splitted 2 times to support the 4 generators. But now I would add another 4 generators on top of the existing 4.

But what ever I try, I don't get the fuel pump high enough. According to the height of a generator, the next floor is 4 walls above the current floor. If im right, this is 16 meters and pump mk II should pump 20 meters. But it doesn't work.

Has someone a idea?
