I have not fully understood the meaning or significance of these news and the content of this article. I have a Tuxedo laptop, and for now I am happy with Tuxedo OS. But I am of course interested in the ability to change distro at some point.
Am I understanding it correctly that I will have a very hard time doing so without patching the kernel myself to ensure proper hardware support? And even then it will be difficult?
There are some periods where YouTube make changes frequently so that e.g. FreeTube stops working for some time, but for the most part it works reliably well. I would say it provides a much better convenience than watching on youtube.com logged out, as you have profiles, subscriptions, playlist and history. Including adblock, sponsorblock and dearrow, and granular control over what to show or not (comments, shorts, live etc.).

Cheers, I’ll look into setting up SFTP in Dolphin.
Samba shuffles rather a lot of data, quite happily. You have not given us an exhaustive description of the shoddy wiring, dodgy switches and wonky configuration that makes up your network. If it was perfect, you would not be posting here.
The network is by no means ideal. I am transferring from a laptop on WiFi to a server on WiFi located some distance from the WAP. If I owned the place I would do a rewire, but for now it’s the best I can do. I think I assumed that there would be error-checking involved when copying. Since following the advice here of using rsync i stead, I have found that files tend to fail in bunches and I need to rerun several times for it to actually complete. Am I right to assume that comes down to packet loss due to poor signal?
Your issue is probably hardware related. Test your network with say iperf3. Have a look at network stats. Don’t rely on cargo cult bollocks - do some investigations. Nowadays we have nearly all the tools as open source to do the entire job - we did not have that 30 years ago. Grab wireshark, nmap, mtr and the rest and get nerdy (or hire me to do it - don’t do that please!)
This is above my skill level for now, but I’m adding it to my notes to go back to. I have some ambition of upping my network knowledge in the coming year, and being able to do use such tools to troubleshoot would be great.
Windows 11 on a Lenovo Thinkpad for work. No Linux-option, but we are working on it. Would still need Win11 for Office-work, as it is widespread in the organization and interop with LibreOffice or OnlyOffice isn’t flawless.
I can’t help you, but I am curious about your use case. I would hate to write a LaTeX document on my phone :p
Been off Spotify for over a year now after being on for about 15 years (2008-2023 I think). Trying to prioritize buying music from contemporary artists who are not big. Not too sure about the best places to buy from though, after Bandcamp was sold and laid off a bumch of people. Where does Qobuz or 7digital stack up in terms of paying the artists?
I think I will go with rsync for future transfers, but I would like for it to be browsable through the file browser still. Is there a better way than samba I should consider? I guess it is not an issue just keeping them as samba shares for that purpose?
Both machines are WiFi-connected.
I am unsure what logs to look at for this and have not done any filesystem check on the harddrive as I am unfamiliar with these tools. It’s an external Seagate HDD with an ext4 filesystem.
Yes, I should have specified that.
My conversation with any llm tends to go, “you got a, b, c wrong, it should be d, e and f” and it says “sorry, ofcourse it should be d, e and f, my mistake, here it is with d, e, f, g and h”. Then I say “g and h are wrong it should be i and j”. And it keeps going. In the end I write it myself. Huge time wasters.
And yet people at work will take its word when asking about things they don’t know anything about beforehand and have no real way of fact checking without actually doing the research they are trying to avoid.
Can you do the refresh + replace all metadata for a single item, or would that trigger replacement of all metadata? (I asked a similar question under another comment here)
Can you do this on an item by item basis? I have forced some changes before (with much effort and then randomly succeeding after some time, I might add), and I would hate for that to be reverted.
I might need to do this at some point, but then I’d want to resolve all these small issues I have. I really wish it would be possible to just change it directly. I’ll look for an issue on GitHub and submit one if I can’t find it.
Hm, the only metadata I can see on the album level is the MusicBrainz IDs. That could explain why it is behaving this way, because MusicBrainz is the reason they are different to begin with, and I’ve had to force the change. I could change on the song level, and that was indeed the old values. However, changing these also did nothing.
All the three different artist versions have them same MusicBrainz artist ID. I tried to change these now into all using &, and it does change it, but now I have three identical entries instead. Trying to select them all and click “Group versions”, it just spins and nothing happens.
It is what I have tried, but Jellyfin still does not want to recognize the new metadata. :/
I find joy from creation. For a long time (2010s) I barely created anything, just consumed. Now I try to do a lot of different things. 3D modelling, game creation, music composing, writing, coding. My skill level doesn’t matter, as I am not dependent on these skills as a source of income (apart from coding to some extent), and the lower my skill, the easier it is to take some big leaps doing these activities, and that progress can yield happiness. I like having several different things as well, as if I lose motivation for one thing, I am not stuck between having nothing to do and forcing myself to do something I don’t really want to.
The other thing is nature. Slowing down and walking in the forest, in the mountains etc. Listening to a waterfall, to the birds etc. Fresh air. Good stuff.
Good to know! I mean, their WebFAI-installer does support installation of other distros as well, so I would imagine it should work better than I originally feared after reading the latest news.
