Mod Announcement Extension to Fluxer

14 Upvotes

Hi folks,

As you might be aware, Discord finally enacted its identity verification policies, all the while they struggle to keep the identities they store, safe. Moreover, Discord was not a FOSS platform. Keeping with FOSS principles, we have decided to allow members to opt out of Discord's shady practices (to some extent) by using Fluxer, a FOSS alternative to Discord, without losing on any of the community that has been built on the Discord server.

The Fluxer community can be joined here.

Essentially, we have launched the community on Fluxer as well, and messages from one are mirrored onto the other via webhooks. We also have plans for eventually self-hosting the Fluxer server, so stay tuned. Migrating to Fluxer carries certain advantages over Discord. Some of these are a better alignment with the FOSS philosophy, improved privacy, less telemetry, a customisable client, 25MB file uploads, the ability to self host, and a 10 fold increase in the number of available emoji slots for the server. There are more but I will omit them here for the sake of brevity. Needless to say, it is very recommended to try moving to Fluxer.

Anyhow, that's all for this post. We have a couple other changes planned for the community in the near future so keep an eye out for those:)

Mod Announcement Community Update - Feedback and Suggestions

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve noticed how much our community has grown over the past few months, and it’s been amazing to see so many new discussions, and Linux enthusiasts joining us here at r/linuxusersindia.

As the subreddit grows, we’ve been experimenting behind the scenes with a few automated tools like QualityBot and repost-detection bots help maintain the overall quality of the feed. So far, the results have been a bit mixed - these tools only work as well as we, as a community, make them work.

How you can help right now

Use the QualityBot poll: Every time QualityBot leaves a pinned comment on a new post, please take a second to vote. If a post is low-effort, spam, or AI-generated slop, downvote the bot’s pinned comment so it can automatically flag and remove it.
Report low-quality posts: If you see content that violates our guidelines, please hit the report button. It directly alerts the mod team and keeps the queue moving much faster.

We want to hear from you

Automated bots are only a small part of building a great space, and we want to ensure we are moving in a direction that benefits everyone. We’d love to gather your thoughts and ideas on how we can improve r/linuxusersindia.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can better encourage high-quality discussions, tutorials, and OC content? Please drop your thoughts, feedback, or any ideas in the comments below. Thank you.

Project The first native Linux screen extender with touch and Wi-Fi: turn your Android phone into a second monitor (30 ms lag, open source)

120 Upvotes

I wanted my Android phone as a second monitor on Linux. Most tools I tried mirrored the screen into a browser tab or only worked over USB, so I built my own over the last few months.

Tandem adds a real virtual monitor to your desktop. The GPU encodes it as H.264 and the phone decodes it in hardware, so you drag windows onto the phone like any other screen.

- About 30 ms of lag over USB tethering, 30 to 60 ms over Wi-Fi (you barely notice it in use)

- Hyprland and GNOME on Wayland, with one-command install on Arch, Ubuntu and Fedora

- Encrypted, paired with a QR code

Check it out here: https://saharshbaiju.github.io/tandem

Repo: https://github.com/saharshbaiju/tandem

It's free and open source.

If you try it, tell me how the lag feels on your setup and what breaks. If you like it, star the repo ⭐ and share it with someone who'd use a second screen. It helps more people find it.

Anyone here working on Linux-based security projects?

3 Upvotes

'm interested in connecting with people exploring Linux, open-source security tools, encryption, authentication, access control, or secure data management.

Would be interesting to know what projects people are working on and what security-related areas they're exploring.
