Others have pointed to the very slow development pace. I’ll point out something else. When I was first starting out with desktop, Linux enlightenment 16 was one of the desktop options but apart from looking very ‘different’ to KDE or Gnome, it was damn difficult to get it to look anything other than default. Other desktop managers came on in leaps and bounds but enlightenment just stayed where it was and from what I can tell still is where it was. Meantime, kde and gnome have had multiple major versions and forks. These days I use either xfce or cinnamon, depending on whether hardware acceleration is available. Fundamentally I want my desktop environment to be a launcher for my applications and a way to manage my peripherals and UI preferences. I don’t want to be looking at it or dealing with it or spending time thinking about it. I suspect that enough other people feel the same way

The advantage with the Gripen is that the Americans can’t turn it off on a whim

I have a Rocku streaming stick and it won’t work without an internet connection

Maybe they unzipped the archive? /S

This sounds like a client problem. Modern Lemmy has community blocks as part of the insurance user profile. Have you tried web client or another app?

Cron already exists and is established as the solution in this space. It’s also used as the model for a lot of other timer services outside the Linux kernel.

How are systemd timers not a solution looking for a problem?

Strictly speaking, you cannot make an ISO from an audio CD. Yes, you can make a bin cue file pair as another commenter has suggested. But realistically what you’ve then got is uncompressed wav audio with the metadata in separate files. The only real advantage this gives you is something that theoretically allows you to recreate precisely the original layout of the audio CD, together with the appropriate length of silence in between the tracks, etc.

When you convert to FLAC there is no loss in audio quality, you use approximately half of the storage space compared to wav, and you can have all of the metadata such as tags and art images embedded in the file itself.

Bin/cue is not really very useful unless you’re not listening directly from a computer or burning to a CD and listening to that. For every other use case, it’s better to have a file that you can play directly and index directly.

FFS! Yeah, right. Let’s all learn about init.d , Xfree86.conf, samba, and how to recompile a kernel using curses.

Yeah, those old books were out of date when they came out.

Unsurprisingly it’s available on the seven seas. Unfortunately it’s not worth the voyage.

Ok so almost 20 years ago, great. What about now?

These are on the decline these days in favour of gender neutral terms, e.g.

• Chair/chairperson
• Spokesperson
• Actor
• Firefighter
• Police officer
• Paramedic

If you’re transferring Linux to Linux then I really wouldn’t recommend samba. Why not SFTP/Rsync? Compression, and error checking built in.

Yes there’s a lot of them

Looks like it’s too easy to delete. I click on the link and I get a not found exception

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it’s a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.
