On his YouTube channel he claimed that FLAC is different from WAV[1]. No need for any of that in my subscriptions anymore. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QNXQ0KOWyc

The beta installer was completely unsuccessful in setting the TPM-backed disk encryption on both a ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Intel 258V) and a ThinkPad P14s (AMD 300-something). Hopefully they ironed that part out in the release, but it seems sti

that's how it works. point a free-to-air dish at the right place in the sky, demodulate the DVB-S2 signal, and it's often IP traffic moving through mpeg transport streams.

Tossing in a suggestion for Vallum[0] here. It's not FOSS but very polished and a fraction of the cost of Little Snitch. [0]: https://vallumfirewall.com/

I've had two SSDs "die" over the years, both of them went read-only, but I was able to recover all data. SSD failure modes are weird.

Highly recommend downloading the .isos and playing them in mpv with deinterlacing. Lot of great native 60i footage in this doc.

We build bespoke servers installed at client properties to support our service. Since August, our unit cost has jumped from $3,500 to $5,500. It’s a bleak situation and will directly impact many businesses.

Yeah, a password manager/autofill would have set off some alarms and likely prevented this, because the browser autofill would have detected a mismatch for the domain npmjs.help.

Given my understanding of Debian, I don't believe this can be attributed to a "marketing strategy."

People have this strange concept that weed is supposed to make you see rainbows and stuff lol. I'd say your experience is about normal.

I use both the Windows and macOS version almost daily (work vs home), and I'm happy to report that the macOS version is just as efficient as the Windows one when dealing with huge directories. I regularly have to deal with thousands of

I believe it's still used. Whenever I print anything (Sonoma 14.4) I have to allow connections for 'cupsd'.

Too Many Records is awesome -- just installed it and I think this will help me in selecting records for my weekly vinyl gig. Great work.

Seafile is fantastic and I'm surprised I don't see more discussion about it around here. I've been running it on a VPS with MinIO as my object storage for about two years now, ~4TB of data just shy of 100,000 files. It syncs

While the mixing process is certainly a frustrating one, it’s also the part I’m most addicted to. I mix something almost every day, whether it’s my own work or other multitracks “acquired” from the internet. It’s so much fun working backwar

I'm interested in knowing more, but after a few minutes of searching, I can't seem to find a modern macOS implementation of the reference Fraunhofer codec. All my tools (Audition, xACT, ffmpeg, and even dbpoweramp) use various ver

I can answer about the audio. YouTube (and most other streaming sites like Spotify etc) use something called ReplayGain. It's essentially a tag that specifies the calculated average loudness of the video/song/whatever (this n

Do you mind sharing this? Sounds like it would solve the exact problem on my ultra-wide monitor.

Could be mistaken but I think my Mac already does this -- it has "true tone" and when I open the lid, my main external monitor changes color temperature. I wonder if there's a way to scrape that data and then send it to Home

The thing is, this is a pretty standard playbook for many intelligence-turned-civilian types. They become "consultants" for basically every industry. Not defending it, but it's not really unique to TikTok.

For a long time now, imgur simply hasn't worked for me unless I whitelist JS for medialab and a bunch of other 3rd-party domains. Even direct image links get hijacked back to the tracking-infested page. Good riddance, imgur, you won&#x

I think there may have been a misunderstanding. There are many of us who regularly switch to a different stylus depending on the record or genre we're playing. I haven't heard of anyone treating a stylus as single-use.

and if you're encoding an x265 file, it needs -tag:v hvc1 for iphone/quicktime to recognize it.
