Swizzin est une solution pour Ubuntu et Debian pour ceux qui galèrent pendant des plombes à installer et configurer un seedbox. Cet outil est hyper léger et modulaire ce qui lui permet de fonctionner même sur un Raspberry Pi !

L’empreinte est minimale, vous installez uniquement les apps dont vous avez besoin et le choix est vaste : de autodl à ZNC en passant par Deluge, rTorrent, ruTorrent, Transmission, qBittorrent, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, NZBGet, SABnzbd, Nginx, Let’s Encrypt, Tautulli, Rclone…etc y a de quoi faire.

L’installation, c’est quelques commandes à copier-coller en tant que root et c’est parti mon kiki !

bash <(curl -sL s5n.sh) && . ~/.bashrc

Selon votre CPU (amd64 ou arm64) et les packages choisis, votre seedbox sera alors opérationnelle en quelques minutes à peine. Pas besoin d’être un crack en informatique, tant que vous savez utiliser SSH et lire de la doc, vous êtes parés.

La philosophie derrière ce projet est vraiment cool puisqu’on est loin des usines à gaz bourrées de fonctions inutiles. Là c’est plutôt stabilité, rapidité et simplicité. Autre gros point fort : la personnalisation. Grâce à l’outil en ligne de commande « box « , vous pourrez gérer votre seedbox au doigt et à l’œil, installer et supprimer des packages, mettre à jour le système, gérer les utilisateurs… c’est un vrai bonheur.

Vous l’aurez compris, ce système est entièrement ouvert et customisable et avec un peu de motivation, vous pourrez ajouter vos propres scripts et applications. C’est l’avantage du logiciel libre !

Bref, si vous cherchez une seedbox simple et efficace pour télécharger et héberger vos fichiers « 100% légaux » évidemment, foncez sur Swizzin .

Si vous avez très très envie de faire tourner des applications Android sur votre Linux, ne cherchez plus, Waydroid est là pour réaliser votre rêve !

Waydroid peut fonctionner en multi-tâche et grâce à son mode multi-fenêtres, vous pourrez utiliser vos applications Android et Linux en même temps, côte à côte. Et si vous êtes plutôt du genre « une app à la fois », pas de problème, Waydroid propose aussi un mode plein écran pour une expérience 100% Android.

En utilisant Wayland et la version AOSP de Mesa, il tire également le meilleur parti de votre matériel pour une expérience fluide et réactive. Donc, fini les lags et les ralentissements que vous avez d’habitude avec vos émulateurs Android, même avec les jeux les plus gourmands. C’est comme si vous aviez un vrai appareil Android entre les mains.

Avant de vous lancer, assurez-vous d’avoir une distribution basée sur Ubuntu ou Debian . Ça tombe bien, c’est ce qu’on utilise tous, non ?

Ensuite, ouvrez un terminal et tapez ces petites commandes magiques :

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install waydroid

Et voilà, Waydroid est prêt à l’emploi ! Maintenant, passons aux choses sérieuses : installer une application Android.

Première étape, récupérez le fichier APK de l’application que vous voulez installer. Vous pouvez le télécharger depuis le Play Store ou depuis des sites spécialisés comme APKMirror .

Une fois votre précieux APK en poche, retournez dans le terminal et entrez la commande suivante :

waydroid app install chemin/vers/votre/fichier.apk

Et boom ! L’application est installée et prête à être utilisée. Vous la retrouverez dans votre menu d’applications habituel.

Maintenant si vous voulez épater vos amis en lançant l’application depuis le terminal comme un vrai pro, c’est possible aussi ! Il vous suffit de connaître le nom du paquet de l’application ( com.exemple.app ) et de taper :

waydroid app launch com.exemple.app

Un petit conseil quand même avant de vous lancer : les fichiers APK qu’on trouve sur le web sont souvent uniquement compatibles avec les processeurs ARM. Donc si vous avez un processeur x86_64 , ça risque de coincer. Mais sinon, vous êtes parés pour profiter d’ Android sur votre Linux adoré !

Bref, avec Waydroid, vous avez le meilleur des deux mondes : la flexibilité de Linux et la richesse de l’écosystème Android. Pour plus d’infos, je vous conseille de jeter un œil au site officiel de Waydroid

Allez, amusez-vous bien et n’oubliez pas : dans le doute, sudo !

Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) Daily Build ISOs Are Now Available for Download

The blog It's FOSS is "pissed at the casual arrogance of Ubuntu and its parent company Canonical..... The sheer audacity of not caring for its users reeks of Microsoft-esque arrogance." If you download a .deb package of a software, you cannot install it using the official graphical software center on Ubuntu anymore. When you double-click on the downloaded deb package, you'll see this error, "there is no app installed for Debian package files". If you right-click and choose to open it with Software Center, you are in for another annoyance. The software center will go into eternal loading. It may look as if it is doing something, but it will go on forever. I could even livestream the loading app store on YouTube, and it would continue for the 12 years of its long-term support period. Canonical software engineer Dennis Loose actually created an issue ticket for the problem himself — back in September of 2023. And two weeks ago he returned to the discussion to announce that fix "will be a priority for the next cycle". (Though "unfortunately we didn't have the capacity to work on this for 24.04...) But Its Foss accused Canonical of "cleverly booting out deb in favor of Snap, one baby step at a time" (noting the problem started with Ubuntu 23.10): There is also the issue of replacing deb packages with Snap, even with the apt command line tool. You use 'sudo apt install chromium', you get a Snap package of Chromium instead of Debian The venerable Linux magazine argues that Canonical "has secretly forced Snap installation on users." [I]t looks as if the Software app defaults to Snap packages for everything now. I combed through various apps and found this to be the case.... As far as the auto-installation of downloaded .deb files, you'll have to install something like gdebi to bring back this feature.

Canonical Says Qualcomm Has Joined Ubuntu's 'Silicon Partner' Program

An anonymous reader quotes a report from GamingOnLinux: After repeatedly suffering issues with scam apps making it onto the Snap Store, Canonical maker of Ubuntu Linux have now decided to manually look over submissions. I've covered the issues with the Snap Store a few times now like on March 19th when ten scam crypto apps appeared, got taken down and then reappeared under a different publisher. Also earlier back in February there was an issue where a user actually lost their wallet as a result of a fake app. Multiple fake apps were also put up back in October last year as well, so it was a repeating issue that really needed dealing with properly. So to try and do something about it, Canonical's Holly Hall has posted on their Discourse forum about how "The Store team and other engineering teams within Canonical have been continuously monitoring new snaps that are being registered, to detect potentially malicious actors" and that they will now do manual reviews whenever people try to register "a new snap name." On top of that soon they will also be releasing a new policy regarding "crypto-wallet and other sensitive snaps" with "guidelines for how to publish such a snap." Currently all of this is not supposed to be long-term, as it's an evolving situation.
