Is it actually running snap or just unpacking its content and running it as a normal flatpak?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

It's unpacking the snap and running the contents.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Neither. The Flatpak is built by unpacking the contents of the snap, after which it's a completely normal Flatpak.

Snaps are just squashfs images with that package and its dependencies, so if the snap isn't doing something fancy like using patchelf or depending on content snaps, it makes a lot of sense that the snap would be extractable and usable for Flatpak. It's probably doable the other way around too, though as far as I know snapcraft doesn't have an official way to use a Flatpak as its source like Flatpak does with snaps.

Is that necessarily bad, though? I always felt that the infrastructure around snap, and not the underlying technology, was what people had problems with.

Also, this feels like an appropriate time to shill for Aegis instead of Authy. Or any foss 2FA solution, really.

I never liked the technology of snap. I'm pretty broke and technically could waste money on a new PC but I rather not. So all my laptops and PCs have been stuff I've found in the trash or on the 2nd hand market for under $100. Snap has always ran much slower on older systems that I use. And by much slower I mean MUCH slower. Flatpaks also run slower than native packaging but at least it's usable.

Huh. I gotta admit that I never tried using it, but that does suck.

FreeOTP+ is a good TOTP app for mobile, if anybody is looking for a TOTP app. It's a FOSS fork extending an internal Red Hat app. https://f-droid.org/packages/org.liberty.android.freeotpplus/

I personally used to use AndOTP.

Ahahah sorry, I know what Authy is.

Mine wanted to be a way to say that after I discovered Ente Authenticator (the link I attached), which is another 2FA app that keeps an encrypted backup of your codes and lets you access them on multiple platforms and it's foss, I "almost forgot about Authy" since Ente Auth replaced it perfectly for my use case.

I thought that since is not a very famous project others could have found it useful

It has been requested for so long and they still won't release a proper package!

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

didn't they announce ending the desktop app?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Already happened as of March 18th

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That sucks. Time to find an alternative.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I went for 2FAS, authy doesn't have option to export the codes so it took some time.

That was the reason I didn't hesitate to choose 2FAS because there is an export option, so if I change my mind it won't be so much of a struggle

They don't exactly have a desktop app but there is an add-on to autocomplete the codes via phone pushed request

Nah don't use authy. Use Aegis if you're Android or Raivo if you're ios. Both of these are open source and you can back up your secret keys.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Spotify too lol. What's so bad about that? It's just a special source form, after it's packaged as flatpak, there are no ages-long startup times or Ubuntu-specific security
