Got a 486 DX4 to sell you 🤣

Knowing myself, I shiver at the idea of my nix config… It’ll probably have more ductape than a 3M distribution center

Yes, you kinda can disable suspend, but it will still cut off spdif transmission even then. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue but my receiver is super old and takes its sweet time to start actually playing audio after it gets a signal

Got fed up of Pipewire suspending (old receiver takes ~2 sec to work again after spdif stream is cut) that now I auto-run aplay to play a silent .wav on loop

I’d say keep that machine as is, and whenever you build a new one, just put whichever distro you like. If possible I’d roll back to win10 and after support ends, keep that machine VLAN’d off the internet. This way you turn it into a music production appliance without disrupting your workflow

Who would dare to ask why

The archive file, right?

RIGHT???

Here, have a Bucket

If you’re on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it’s a mess

Safari is the new ie6

Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

Took the poop challenge to heart 🫡

Ojcar!

I’m using TelegramFOSS right off F-droid and until I read this thread I didn’t even know there was a stories feature

There’s already a bunch of platforms running like this for years. None of them are legal but stuff like the descendants of Popcorn Time keep vast libraries of high quality video files available through just p2p networks

The main drive for normies is avoiding friction. From chat platforms to the phone brand or OS, they simply don’t want to learn something new, unless “everyone’s using it”.

The only reason that people stick to GAFAM is because it’s made super convenient, no learning required, and if there’s a problem or limitation, they can bypass it for a few bucks per month.

I’m all in for a decentralized self-hosted future, but the barrier to entry right now is too high for the average normie.
