It is cruel irony that I find vim the most comfy terminal based text editor. No other compares to it. But is so fucking complex and overloaded with features, that every time I need to correct my workflow it's major pain the ass.

Anyone know a free VPN add-on for Firefox with lots of IPs/servers? I only know UrbanVPN.

I don't know if this would fit your use case, but whenever I need to access a website as if I'm in another country, I just use Tor and configure it so the exit node is always in the country I want to access the site as. I've been doing this a lot lately to access Niconico as if I'm in Japan, since they recently applied a lot of restrictions to overseas users

I wanted new wallpaper and ringtone for my new phone, but nothing seems worthwhile, so I just stick to defaults, which is kinda sad.

Init freedom by itself is a good enough reason to not use systemd.
>>
>>869 yeah sure, its fun to use alternate software
>>
>>870 Soon you'll be unable to. Actually, the problem with unportable/unreplaceable software isn't usability, but when the software causes lockdown, it declares complete monopoly. After that, whoever owns the funds that pay the developers, owns the entire ecosystem and is free to bind it any direction. The whole point of software freedom is that when a part becomes poorly maintained, it is replaced by something else. But soon you'll be unable to do it. If nothing changes, in another 15 years linux ecosystem will be completely locked down and most likely made unusable to such an extent, that it won't be an option anymore. Then they'll bring in paid or closed sourced solutions in the game and you won't be able to do anything about it.
>>
>>860 >>871 You (samefag) are the first in the history of humanity to say that "using software is fun" and that makes sense because its so dumb that all of the dead people would laugh at you. No using software is not fucking fun, you dont have because you are using krita, you have fun because you are drawing, you dont have fun with your init system... ever, you maybe get a serotonin hit after tinkering with configs for 2 hours to fix your broken system retard

>>872 You might pwn my system, but you'll never pwn my soul. You'll choke on me, corporate piece of shit.

mp3 player Anonymous 09/08/2024 (Sun) 09:34:25 No. 742 [Reply] [Last]
I want to buy an mp3 player but I don't know which one is the best, so I'm asking you to help me choose one, please. I found this: https://www.amazon.fr/AGPTEK-Bluetooth-Enregistreur-Supporter-T%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone/dp/B0CKV9HDP2/ but I don't know if its true or false. xhat do you think of it?

>>810 The reason it's harder is because they haven't implemented support for it in the utility by the way, so you have to do it manually. It's not like it's inherently harder, the port is just not considered "stable" yet, even though it's very useful and has been so for a while. I think a big reason why it's considered unstable is because there's no support for Bluetooth yet despite the player having that, but there's no such support in Rockbox at all.
>>
I got reminded of those 'plug and play' MP3 Players USB that you connected to any pc, drag the files and disconnect. Sometimes i think of getting one of those again because having my phone on the streets is a mayor danger to me lol

>>813 ,hy? do you fear getting your phone stolen (me too)?

I use the Sandisk Clip Jam and it's great. - doesn't require to change batteries all the time, can be charged like a phone and the battery works for days on end with heavy usage - can sort by metadata (album/artist/name/...) - doesn't break easily - can run OGG, MP3 and FLAC (FLAC!!!!) (maybe it can do more, I just haven't tried) - storage space 8gb, but can be extended by arbitrarily large Micro-SD card
>>
just go ipod classic or eros q. both runs rockbox. ipod is easy to upgrade, if you take gen 5th. they might be a bit expensive but its almost the same than a spotify subsciption during a yr. also if you got an old android phone, you could just use that and load it with tons of flac/mp3s

What's the best SD card for a RasPi 5?
>>
>>718 Sandisk is what I use. Use a micro SD card with at least 8GB, maybe even 16GB storage space to avoid it bricking itself after a year due to not being able to allocate bad sectors.
>>
>>12 my Pi 4 sits next to my desktop and plays downloaded Youtube videos and music it also does a handful of LAN web things like running a few local instances of some web applications (in particular, poti-board for oekaki!) and SMB and the lot it's very useful having another computer next to your actual computer, although I do want a Pi 5 since doing web browsing anything is unbearably slow (although I don't expect a major performance bump) >>718 using an SD card with a Pi is probably a bad idea if your use case can boot from USB running over a cheap SSD over USB with a SATA-USB cable has been way, way, way better, just head and shoulders faster if you do need an SD for your specific use case, prioritize speed and then size a too slow SD card on a Pi 4 or 5 will cause extremely painful UI stalls, found that out when moving my old Pi 2 card to a 4 and although technically everything was faster when you measured the times, the UI was vastly less responsive while a too small one will absolutely brick itself since you need some buffer space to spread out writes, and a boot drive will absolutely be hammered by regular writes

>>734 Pure facts. Librebooted tards are psychotic, because using librebooted thinkpad is overkill for buying their acid. Even if you're using windows 11 they probably don't know anything about you except a few basic obvious things that can be sold to advertiser. I bet you could buy drugs using windows 11 and get away with it, prove me wrong.

What is the main advantage of Gentoo ? In your opinion, what are the main advantages over Debian or Arch-based systems?
>>
it is source-based. in my experience this means mainly three things: - if something breaks or doesn't compile I can fix it myself without having to search internet forums and such - I can set compilation flags to adapt programs to my needs and environment - it is easier to create and maintain my own packages for the package manager I use it mostly for Recreational Programming, I often browse github for libraries for my projects and most of the time they aren't popular enough to be in the package repository of any distro. with gentoo I can write an ebuild and have the library installed and maintained by the package manager in less than 5 minutes it fits my use-case well but I don't know if I would recommend it to other people. it isn't hard but you need some experience with c/c++ toolchains, autotools and cmake for it to be anything more than just another distro with less support than debian now that I think about it, one notable thing is that gentoo doesn't do stuff behind your back so to speak, so there aren't as many opportunities for things to break unexpectedly. I guess that can be a plus even for inexperienced users
>>
and yes, I'm too dumb and lazy to learn nix/guix
>>
>>694 Advantages? No. There is none. I've spent one entire year with Gentoo and three months with Funtoo, and, these two are simply distros for enthusiasts. That's it. Don't get me wrong, Portage is a good package manager, but you'll probably spend a lot of time with it, and it's just not worthy.
