I’d recommend setting your printer into LAN only mode and continue using OrcaSlicer

I disagree that Nix is a solution in search of a problem, in fact it solves arguably the two biggest problems in software deployment: dependency hell and reproducibility (i.e. the “It works on my machine” problem)

Every package gets access to the exact version of all the dependencies it needs (without needless replication like Flatpaks would have) and sharing a flake to another machine means you can replicate that exact setup and guarantee it will be exactly the same

Containers try to solve the same problems, and succeed to a somewhat decent extent, although with some overhead of course.

I’m not trying to criticize you or your setup at all, if Debian alone works for you, that’s fine. The beauty of open source and self hosting is that we can use whatever tools we want, however we want. I do though think it’s good practice to be aware of what alternatives are out there should our needs change, or should our tools change to no longer align with our needs.

Small setups can very easily turn into large setups without you noticing.

The only bare-metal setup I’d trust to be scaleable is Nix flakes (which I’m actually very interested in migrating to at some point)

Doing this is generally a bad idea, because audio exported from YouTube is pretty poor quality, and music videos often have bits of talking or silence that make sense in context of the video but aren’t part of the actual song (designed to prevent exactly this). There was a cli tool I used last year that could download music from Spotify directly.

Edit: The tool I was talking about is Zotify

Make sure to set the --download-quality flag to very_high if you have premium to ensure it downloads in max quality

If you have long playlists (more than a few hundred songs), you should also use the --skip-previously-downloaded and --song-archive flags as per the docs to make sure you can start again from where you left off, as Spotify will start to rate-limit your connection and downloads will fail (if this happens, just kill the tool, wait a few minutes and start again)

Navidrome can scrobble to ListenBrainz which starts giving you recommendations playlists after a couple of weeks :)

I bet this has something to do with them being sold off last year and the new owners not seeing the cross platform app as being worth it

Not heard of this company before but I’ve set up to be notified once the UK keyboard for the Horizon is in stock

I did a keto diet for a bit back in the summer. It worked very well for me and I lost 10kg in about 7 weeks. The diet made me feel full for a long time so I was also on one meal a day and not snacking. It’s not something I think I could keep up long term, the variety in what you can eat isn’t enough for me, although since coming off the diet, I haven’t put any of the weight back on so my metabolism must have changed somehow as a result.

Not saying it’s for everyone, but I was surprised how well it worked for me.

Thanks for the recommendation, it certainly seems like an interesting project, although it’s current capabilities are almost backwards from what I actually want. My current workflow is:

• Listen to my library in Navidrome via Feishin/Tempus
• Scrobble my listens to ListenBrainz
• ListenBrainz generates my weekly recommendations playlist (things not in my library)
• I listen to the playlist on the ListenBrainz site via YouTube embeds
• Any songs I like, I download high quality FLAC files of using slskd by buying legitimately

Just being able to see my recommended songs in Tempus would remove some of the barrier of having to log in to ListenBrainz every week (which I often push to the bottom of my to-do list and end up missing recommendations). I don’t even really need to stream them directly in the app, just being able to see them and open the YouTube link would be a good start.

I get that this might be a bit of a niche way of doing things and everyone will have a slightly different idea though, I don’t really expect my exact personal workflow to be catered for by open source devs.

Windows 11’s UI is fine.

I have so many issues with Windows: the privacy invasion, the ads, the upselling of MS’s services, the need for an online Microsoft account, that I haven’t used Windows in over 2 years. But I see so many people saying it has an ugly UI - it’s UI is literally fine, I would have no problems using it if a Linux DE happened to come up with that design before Microsoft did.

It might be a bit out of scope (at least for now) but something I’d love to see eventually is the ability to pull down weekly recommendations from ListenBrainz and view them natively in-app. Even if they just linked to the YouTube video, it would make self hosting music feel like it had the last remaining benefits of streaming services.

Oil companies in particular loved hydrogen because it was so easy to watch it fail while continuing to sell fossil fuel burning infrastructure as “hydrogen ready”

I remember playing this a few years ago and laughing at the names of the items and enemies, they all really tickled my sense of humour in just the right way.

£12-ish a year on mailbox.org

I made the switch about 6 months ago and I’m very happy with them

It supports HDMI CEC so I just use the remote that came with my TV

It’s a little bulkier than a Chromecast but for my TV at home I use a Raspberry Pi 5 with Konstakang’s Android TV LineageOS images installed. It works pretty well and I could see it being fairly portable.

Thank you for your work on this! I switched from Tempo to Tempus after seeing one of these updates a few weeks ago. It’s great to this is being maintained!

Broken clocks are right twice a day and all that. When you say as much utter shit as Trump does, just by sheer chance, some of it might sound somewhat reasonable occasionally.

I mean they kinda are, just in a different way. Russia claims that all Ukrainians are actually Russian and they don’t deserve their own sovereignty. They essentially want to commit a cultural genocide of Ukraine and any Ukrainians that refuse to relinquish their culture or identity as Ukrainian.

I’m no expert though, so I’d appreciate if someone with more in-depth knowledge could expand on this a bit.

It might be too late for you, but for anyone else who stumbles across this:

The easiest way to transfer emails is just log into a client like Thunderbird, let it download them all, select all, then drag and drop them all to your new provider. If you have a lot of historic emails, filter by year and do one year at a time
