Go to whichever comment/post on a lemmy instance you’re trying to comment on and copy the link in that little colorful icon below/above the comment/post (that’s the fediverse icon and the fediverse-wide interoperable link).
Then just paste that into your search field on your mastodon instance, and the rest is self-explanatory from there.
Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....
If your winamp is still functional, I’d just suggest you convert all mp3pro to wav using the disc writer plugin and then use ffmpeg to convert to mp4 or normal mp3.
Then you won’t need to worry about the mp3pro codec issues.
The onion router was a clue in itself as to how you connect to the Internet, especially when you need to hide. Add more than a normal vpn into the mix, proxies, ssh tunnels, dns tunnels, net cat, and maybe i2p. Once done, you could even fire off an ion cannon in a particular orbit if you fancy.
Just bear in mind that some vpn companies are owned by companies who also own other companies that own large networks, so they don’t necessarily need the vpn to log traffic to get your meta data.
Well known KDE developer Nate Graham is out with a blog post today outlining his latest Wayland thoughts, how X11 is a bad platform, and the recent topic of “Wayland breaking everything” isn’t really accurate....
Until my distro forces wayland on me I’ll stick with xorg+XFCE. I’ve played with sway and hyprland but I need my application choices to actually work well. (no I’m not going to list them).
As for the cube desktop in the image: We had this with compiz and learnt then that this is pointless.
Further if this technology is open-sourced; can it be extended for use cases beyond that(Dual Motherboards sharing Compute power with low latency for working on a single process?); I know such solutions probably exist for servers and enterprises but i am talking about amateurs who don’t have 10K lying around for specialty...
From the way linus framed what’s happening, 4 pcie lanes linking frame buffers between both gpus and this being Intel makes me think this will remain closed source but if it catches on we could well see open alternatives.
I don’t think open alternatives exist currently, though.
Why do we need to know why yet another person has decided to stop using some Linux distro?
This is pointless content for the sake of it. You even made one previously about why you started using the distro back last August, and that was just as pointless.
Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
This seems like a good place so far tbh
Is there any way I can make an old XMMS plugin work in any modern player?

You SHOULD connect to Tor via a VPN, actually (yewtu.be)
