Wow this is amazing. I can't believe shoutcast still exists too!! I have fond memories of hosting a shoutcast stream at very low bandwidth over dialup! There seems to be a few decent apps in F-droid and lots of stations with no ads and

Regarding Bandcamp, I find following small labels to be a great way to find new music. Small labels tend to release music of similar style and quality. They often also have deals on bandcamp where you can buy an entire label's discogra

I wish git worked like some of the other dvcs (bazaar/breezy). The default merge type from a branch should be a merge commit and git log should only show the first parent (commits directly on the current branch). This gives you a very

As a user, I really don't care for magic links. The whole, start the log-in process, switch context, wait for email (sometimes up to a minute), click on it, have it open a new tab in a different window than where I started is just a pa

I don't look at the logs of my personal site very often as it is a static site, but just went to check, and yeah, it's almost all ai crawlers. Note sure what is going on here, but I hope this isn't really anthropic: 34.12

Yeah burned discs wore out much earlier but it depended a lot on the brand. Fry’s great quality brand (or whatever it was called) did not last long. But my memorex and verbatim still work fine after 30 years of mistreatment!

Agree with the siblings. I have hundreds of CDs in binders. They have lived in the unconditioned storage, very hot and humid attics, and on the floorboards of cars and for the most part, very few have any issues. It is quite incredible. But

I like vinyl (any physical media, i still listen to new bands that only release on cassette) because it is cumbersome and purposeful. You have to flip through a collection and make a conscious decision on what to listen to. You don’t get to

A friend in his 40s had a 90s birthday party so I burned some mix CDs as party favors. Those CDrs were 20 years old and have been sitting in a hot, humid attic for the last 10+ years, but still recorded fine. The real problem was almost no

This is surprising to me and the exact opposite of what I want for a few reasons: 1. I don't like surprise breakages. I am not prepared to fix a service my family uses midday on a Tuesday when I am working since it auto updated. I&#x27

You can always use something like this [1], which will make sure any file removed on the command line via rm (or other utilities, like git rm) ends up in the trash instead [1] https://github.com/faratech/trashd

I’ll agree with some parts of this as I have some big issues with parts of systemd. But writing service files with systemd is so much better and having a unified interface into logs is really really nice.

I think it is amazing that Linux has reached such an audience that the knowledge of what windowing or desktop system being used is unknown. But at the same time it makes me a little sad. Part of the draw of Linux was being able to understan

I worked at a company that had a powerful legacy software that was meant to be configured once and run full screen. At some point it needed a custom interface and the ability to reconfigure itself on the fly. Adding in a GUI was not a reaso

That’s like saying movies should have to rate every scene so a 7 year old can watch the “safe” parts of an R movie? If a site is really mixing so much content (like Reddit) then they should really be separating their sites into different su

Every app submitted to the App or Play store already has to do this. If parental controls are on, then users cannot download those apps. The only hard part for the web is that a site could lie since there is no gatekeeper, but some black li

We approach tickets that match with our development strategy. A ticket is tied to and represents a branch of code. When that code is merged the ticket is done. It cannot be reopened, you open a new ticket and link it and there will be a new

I find the problem is that engineering wants one work flow, product wants another, another department wants theirs, and so on. As a CTO I have declared that Jira is owned by engineering and it is our developers’ process.

I’ve found being able to share passwords with my spouse very valuable which we couldn’t easily do with keepass. Also the syncing strategy on iOS is a disaster and corrupted my wife’s keepass db causing her to lose everything.

The problem isn't having cameras. Its that these cameras should be closed circuit with data residing locally, not being sent to a 3rd party that has full access to the video streams, and who processes them, combines them with other par
