  • Alternative to Spotify - Linux client?

    Jump

  • I use an alternative to Spotify called "a folder full of mp3s". If you are into selfhosting you could also stream your collection using Navidrome but putting audio files on your phone works as well. If you need a recommendation algorithm you can sync your listens to listenbrainz.org or lastfm. There are quite a few Linux audio players that support the scrobble API.

  • Debian demands Rust or rust in peace for legacy ports

    Jump

  • I think it is perfectly reasonable to drop some CPU architectures that haven't been relevant in the last 20 years. It seems to me there are a lot of new people eager to contribute who have no interest in touching C any more than necessary, and a project that can no longer attract new contributors will sooner or later die.

  • Anyone have any favorite diffing tools?

    Jump

  • I like the merge and diff tool integrated in the various Jetbrain IDEs.

  • ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS

    Jump

  • I would not recommend it. Session is a signal fork that deliberately removes forward secrecy from the protocol and uses weaker keys. The removal of forward security means that if your private key is ever exposed all your past messages could be decrypted.

  • I am sorry, but everyone is getting syntax highlighting wrong

    Jump

  • Everybody is arguing about color themes and here I am just using the default light theme of my IDE.

  • Busy day

    Jump

  • Playing poker when you are all knowing and all powerful seems like cheating to me.

  • Backup recommendations

    Jump

  • I use Kopia to do encrypted incremental backups of my user directory.

  • The only way one should code C btw.

    Jump

  • Are you sure the f is supposed to mean file and not format, as in print a formatted string?

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • New Jetbrains Update Dropped

    Jump

  • This is misleading. For people paying for the IDE nothing changed, data sharing remains an opt-in option. For users of their free licenses data sharing was enabled by default. Still a shitty thing to do especially as it hits a lot of OSS developers but lets criticize that instead of creating memes that are misinformation.

  • Aurora immutable KDE Plasma workstation big, slow, confusing

    Jump

  • It isn't, the author is quoting distrowatch without checking. The two main contributors are from the United States and Finland.

  • The Programmer Compass

    Jump

  • There is that weird conspiracy theory that soybeans contain an estrogen adjacent substance which makes men more feminine. Complete nonsense but it gets especially funny when these people are advocating for cows milk instead of soy milk, because the former actually contains mammalian estrogen.

  • Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers

    Jump

  • What does switching from the default name 'main' back to master achieve; and why are they advertising this on xitter? On an unrelated note, do you know what a dog whistle is?

  • Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers

    Jump

  • I do in fact mind as non-political is usually just code for "lets be horrible to women and minorities, and if you say anything you are being political"; besides I don't think you could describe both the free software software and the later open source software movement as anything other than political.

    Jump

  • Cunts like DHH are trying to turn Linux into yet another nazibar and you are questioning me on calling it out?

  • Fireship’s latest vid spreading the Linux desktop to 500k+ viewers

    Jump

  • This issue represents all you need to know about omarchy.There is also this:

    DHH proudly advertises that the main branch of their repository is called master instead of main, to own the libs or something.

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • Don't worry about being an introvert in a big city; I've lived here for three years and have never seen my next door neighbor, let alone spoken to them. You don't get this kind of privacy in a village.

  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • Honestly, I would go with a managed Nextcloud solution like Hetzner Storage Share or another reputable provider. No hassle of updating and securing the server, no data stored at Google or Microsoft, and easy to administrate by people who aren't expert system administrators in case you are no longer available. I also went with that route for my personal instance because it was actually cheaper than hosting it myself on a VPS.

  • I must have died and gone to heaven [nushell]

    Jump

  • This might be unpopular in Linux spaces but I consider Powershell for the most part well designed. I think its better suited to writing scripts than bash, but worse at being an interactive shell.

  • Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes

    Jump

  • As for the listenbrainz/last.fm that is kind of a solution, but it takes a very long time to train up your profile to actually be useful.

    This isn't a huge issue, listenbrainz supports importing your spotify history.
