  • Just discovered #spotdl (https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader). It's a great way to download songs from #youtube with metadata and lyrics, or to just quickly listen to that one song somebody

  • This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.

  • Debian 13 Will Aim To Include GNOME 48, Debian/Ubuntu Begin Packaging GNOME Papers

    Jump

  • By Debian themselves, testing does not receive security updates and for unstable, Arch is way way better.

  • No it's not, we are still on Plasma 5.27. I always start going desperate after 1 year. I wish Debian had yearly releases.

  • GTK Drops X11!

  • Good, it's great to see more people moving to BlueSky11

    OpenWrt 24.10.0 - First Stable Release

    Jump

  • I bricked a (very annoying) router trying to update its packages, so I am really looking forward for a sane package management system instead of the absolute manual mess it was before (and seems like still is).

  • What is a service you host you never knew you needed?

    Jump

  • Definitely firewall things. Do you connect your personal phone to your work's Wi-Fi? I would really not.

  • Arch gets $600K, Flathub separates from GNOME, Firefox drops Do Not track: Linux & Open Source News

  • They federate, meaning that you can search for this post on Mastodon and it'll find it; but these are not the comments on the tilvids video, this and tilvids' video are separate posts.

    I'm moving to another city soon. What are some good apps that could help? Inventory, logistics, etc

    Jump

  • I support this idea. Moving is the perfect opportunity to classify your stuff into useful and wasteful, specially clothes, shoes, and some older electronics. Recycle and donate.

    Also, if you have a phone you can turn any document into a digital one, find manuals online and trash the paper ones, etc.

    It's amazing when you suddenly feel lighter, and you didn't know you had all that psychological weight on you.

  • What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?

    Jump

  • That's on you 😅

  • I may sound like an asshole, but before Linux Mint, I would seriously think to go with Debian with KDE. I don't see any downsides, and there are many upsides.

  • In what sense is DuckDNS unreliable?

  • Does crates.io have a backup plan?

    Jump

  • What about stopping the bullsh*t of TLD nonsense and doing something like crates.rust-lang.org? It's the most sensible solution.

  • Linus Torvalds Asks Kernel Developers To Write Better Git Merge Commit Messages

    Jump

  • I thought conventionalcommits.org was very well known.

    I made my company use it and now it's so much easier to navigate git history. We also get automatic, humanly readable changelogs for free.

  • This is why it's not mainstream

    Jump

  • Turns out that is your experience, and it cannot be extrapolated to the rest of the world.

    In fact, my experience is actually opposite. Everytime I go back to Windows to do some task... Wi-Fi has trouble finding my access point, and when it finally connects (sometimes after having to reboot) the connection is simply not as strong. Oh, and some bullsh*t software got reinstalled and it even set itself up as launching-at-start-up, after I had to almost hack the OS to allow me to do that.

    So, do I extrapolate to the rest of the world?

  • Any AI tool to analyse a git repo for malicious code?

    Jump

  • AI doesn't do feelings

    How can I have a serious conversation with these annoying answers? Come on, you know what I am talking about. Even an AI chatbot would know what I mean.

    Any AI chatbot, even "general purpose" ones will read your code and will return a description of what it does if you ask it.

    And particularly AI would be great at catching "useless", "weird" or unexplainable code in a repository. Maybe not with the current levels of context. But that's what I want to know, if these tools (or anything similar) exist yet.

    Thank you.

    Jump

  • I just want a report that says "we detected in line 27 or file X, a particular behavior that feels weird as it tries to upload your environment variables into some unexpected URL".

    Jump

  • I don't care if the solution is AI based or not, indeed.

    I guess I thought it like that because AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code in a few seconds/minutes without you having to review it. I don't know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

    Edit: so many people against the idea. Have you guys used GitHub Copilot? It understands the context of your repo to help you write the next thing... Right? Well, what if you apply the same idea to simply review for malicious/unexpected behaviour on third party repos? Doesn't seem too weird for me.

  • Asking for donations in KDE Plasma

    Jump

  • We are talking about one single notification per year that serves as a notification for the hundreds of KDE programs that you normally install on a Plasma desktop.

    So, yeah, it's pretty fair. And it's free software, so you can fork it and delete those lines of code anyway. It's KDE so they'll probably even let you disable it at some point in the settings.
