Yeah, if the software is supported and your hardware is sufficient. I don’t run home automation so I don’t know. But evcc works great!

Agreed. The tagline “lightweight justice” always sounded strange to me as well. They could definitely go with a friendlier, more mainstream design.

I use Syncthing to sync DCIM and Pictures folders from Android to my computer. Every six month or so, I move pictures from these folder to the folder for this years pictures: home/pictures/2025. So they disappear from my phone as well, which is great to free up space. This works great for me.

2: I’m a Bitwig fan-boy. Buy this great piece of software, have tons of fun and never use third party VSTs again. Sound design, modulate everything, wow! You can run many Windows VSTs using yabridge. Reaper might be a good choice for a DAW as well, it’s a little more classic and has plugins and scripts for everything.

Off-topic:
I’m always tempted to write it out. The word is in everybody’s mind while we read the text. It gets so powerful if people decide to talk around it. But if the context is not hurtful, it’s just a word. Nothing happens. It becomes an insult if the mind of the one who says it or the one who reads it decides to make it one.
Plus the assholes who use it as a slur will say it anyway. We’re not achieving anything by erasing it from our bubble.
Well, that’s what I think about it. :)

This is offtopic, but I switched from Alpaca to duck.ai. I try not to use AI too often and even though I like the idea to run it locally, duck.ai is way easier to use.

I started on Mint and liked it so much that I never distro-hopped. Every now and then I think about trying an immutable distro. But then I remember how much learning I had switching from Windows to Mint and I get scared of losing so much time to learn about Aurora. What would your say to me?

This is propaganda, there is no evidence that Russia did this. We should not turn every random act of vandalism into a headline, hinting at russian involvement.

Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.

I just talked to a friend a couple days ago, we’ll take a weekend off, do a hackaton to rebuild our sites in this style. Dithering the images looks really cool, I’d like to do his as well.

They use Hugo since 2023.

I would love this to become a thing. Like a race to the bottom, how much information can you cramp into 2 watts and make it as stylish as possible. Take pride in a minimalist webpage.

I hate them so much. I want a chinese EV painted with their tears. I hate them so fucking much it hurts my brain.

I use it since v2 and became an instant fanboy. Back then there was only the full version. I probably don’t use all the features all the time, but it’s so much fun to play around, discover sounds, modulate stuff, chain up effects and build little machines. It’s such an advanced piece of software, compared to any other DAW. So if you can spare the 300 bucks, then go for the full version! It’s definitely worth it and on summer sale right now.

I had many VSTs on Windows. After making the switch to Linux, ported them using Yabridge. But I kept using them less and less. Now I’m on Bigwig and I hardly use any third party VSTs at all. Hell, I don’t even use 99% of my samples because Bitwig is so versatile. I usually take their native stuff and tweak it to my likings, and fast! So even if that is not what you asked, I recommend leaving it all behind and start fresh with just Bitwig. It really doesn’t need anything else to make music on Linux. And it feels great to let go of all the digital baggage.

Didn’t we laugh at how bad the Russian army is for years? Now they want to attack Germany?! Schroedingers Russia is always on the brink of collaps and invading Europe. At least one of these takes must be … propaganda?

So they wanna bet against exponential worldwide growth!? Good luck, boomers.

Use a random second hand Raspberry Pi with DietPi. It installs from a script, very easy.

Block it with your Pi-hole!
