tl;dr, podcasts are expensive to produce, about $1000/hour with video, hosts (local and remote), and post-production. TWiT is going through hard times and some shows and hosts have to go. Sadly, FLOSS was on the chopping block.
Advertisers just aren’t interested in podcasts anymore. If you still want to support the network after this, give Leo $7/month and join Club TWiT. I don’t give a rat’s ass about Discord, but I do want to prevent stuff like this.
I tried Linux when I was younger. I decided to try Gentoo on underpowered hardware with zero Linux experience. I credit that uphill battle for teaching me Linux! I used that until I got into dependency hell and switched back to Windows for a while. I needed PowerShell and stuff for my old job, before it went cross-platform. It was fine.
A few years later, I was dual-booting again. Then, Windows 10 began blue-screening randomly. I couldn’t figure out why. Reinstalling didn’t work. So I started using Linux full-time and I’ve never looked back.
Even when I found out that one of my memory sticks had been half-inserted for months, and that’s probably what made Windows crash all the time. How did Linux handle it? Obviously, because it’s better.
Instead of sharing the image, why not share the scripts or steps used to make it? Other people raised some fine points, but for me, my German is very poor.
It’s lined up with the main portion of the keyboard. Ergonomically, it makes perfect sense, even if it looks wrong.
I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.
Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.
How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?
I came here to complain about Flatpak vs. .deb, and left with a new thing to try.
Sounds like a great excuse to fork the project and start its own community. Of course, keep integrating upstream fixes, but maybe make the logo a trans pride flag.
I’m not sure if this is legally binding, but it’s a way to prove that someone said “I signed this document and it has not been modified.” While S/MIME certificates are most commonly used for this purpose, getting one (especially for free) is nearly impossible. Signing with a GPG key is just using another tool, one whose ecosystem doesn’t require CA-sanctioned trust; the reader decides which keys are trusted and verified.
Thanks for the warning. I’ll keep my eyes open. Perhaps it’s time to start distro-hopping.
I use the Windows version of Scrivener 3 on Linux. It works almost perfectly. Sometimes it’ll freeze after opening a file, but force-quit and restart the app, and it’s fine.
Good point. It was quite the adventure trying to find drivers for my T470’s fingerprint reader. It’s been working great ever since, but it was a long road.
Awesome! Now, if only I could move my Mastodon toots or PixelFed photos to another server. Sure, I can redirect my accounts, but then I’m stuck with the old content on another feed.
The project would have to support reproducible builds somehow. For example, supply a Makefile and a hash of the generated executable.
Interesting. Mine sometimes fails to wake up with ZFS. I wonder if automatic snapshots are the culprit.
If you have CGNAT, you’ll need to use IPv6 to get connections from the internet at large. The downside is that IPv4-only instances won’t be able to communicate with you.
I love Thunderbird, but I wouldn’t recommend it for Microsoft 365. You can add the mail account via IMAP (if you turn off Security Defaults), but I don’t believe there’s a way to get Microsoft’s contacts and calendars to sync up, since they don’t support CardDAV or CalDAV.
The states can’t even agree on hot dogs and pizza. A meal representing everyone could feed a neighborhood. (And if you do make it, invite me!)
Apple tried it a decade ago. It was called the Fusion Drive. It performed about as well as you’d expect. macOS saw the combined storage, but the hardware and OS managed the pair as a single unit.
If there’s a good tiered storage daemon on your OS of choice, go for it!
