I'm newish to Linux, wondering if you can point me in the direction of an easy way to sync files across devices (Android, Linux, maybe Windows). Internet advice suggests syncthing but recent articles show it was pulled from Android play store. There's is a fork listed there but is that going away too, who knows

What would be some easy alternatives? Nextcloud? Thanks in advance.

I recently got a Thelio Mira. Do I have to worry about this MS secure boot UEFI issue I've been reading about the past few days?

Same question for my old laptop (Lenovo x220, originally Windows and now pop os).

Hi, I've been fiddling with PopOS the past year on an old laptop and I like it. I'm getting ready to convert my windows 10 desktop to Pop and leave windows behind entirely, before I do I want to be sure I understand a few security concepts.

I've read suggestions that say don't run as root, create a separate user account and only use root when necessary. Do you give that user account sudo privileges? If so, is that any different from just being root?

Also I've installed the ufw firewall but left it with default settings. Is that something I need to look into more?

Thanks in advance!

I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.

Very cool application of LLM to screen potential protein-drug interactions.

Pretty cool demo

Interesting article, I wonder how much longer new language models will be detectable like this.

I'm new to Lemmy, just popping in here to see what's up. So far I'm the only subscriber, and I hope this community grows.
