There is some stuff that I hate, but I tend to come back to it for my home server just because of livepatch, which is nice to minimize the amount of reboots necessary and having a patched kernel for all my LXCs makes then also automatically protected.

A technical debt escapist.

I thought the same thing, will be interesting to see if that can be done.

Bring back standardised headlight, and a maximum height allowance on vehicle’s headlights so that they’re not right in a sedan’s driver’s rearview mirror when a pickup is tailgating.

That requires way too much effort and money from elected officials.

And instead of doubling-down in denial, they embraced the openness.

That, and the inflation making most of us broke-ass.

Meh, just need to find an instance that seems friendly and stable enough then try to keep it afloat.

I’ve never said that, I’ve said that it would be a better option than pulling out the article worldwide. A geoblock would ensure the article remains available outside of India, and could be retrieved somewhat trivially through a VPN or a proxy, making Reuters in compliance of the court order, which only applies within India’s border. It’s definitely better than not complying, which would lead to Reuters office in India being shut down and risking some of their employees going to jail for not respecting a court order.

Reuters is appealing the decision, but for now they have to comply.

Sounds like something a geoblock could have dealt with, but they likely weren’t ready to put it in place so this was the easiest solution to be in compliance.

Thanks for the tip :)

Just to clarify some points to give the correct advice

• The downloaded file is an mp3?
• You need the trimmed song to be in m4a?

If that positive for both, then some form of transcoding is inevitable, and since mp3 is a lossy format, and m4a is normally a lossy format as well, you might encounter some quality loss depending on how high the mp3 bitrate is compared to the m4a. You can select an higher bitrate for the m4a, but you’ll never achieve an higher quality than what the mp3 contained. For that situation, a relatively easy and visual software to do so would be Audacity.

If you are able to keep the trimmed song as an mp3, then there are some utilities like mptrim that pick the portion of audio you want without retranscoding, which avoid degrading the signal.

It only sends the following during the update process, which can be disabled during the software install: Audacity version, OS name and version, country of IP address.

If there is a serious error it will let you generate an error report to help them debug the issue, and will not send anything without the user’s consent. Seems reasonable to me.

I suppose FlatHub is the primary repo for Flatpak and where the updates comes from?

And also the Steam Deck natively supports them, which is noce.

And ultimately to be replaced by chatbots without them knowing.

To be fair this seems like a good time to implement those change in dev before it hits in prod…
