Raspberry Pi 1b > DietPi > Pi-hole > Unbound <3

I have 1/3 of a 1 TB SSD for Windows, Linux and a free partition for random stuff each. With home finally on a second 2 TB SSD. This is great, so far.

Rogue empire

My playlists get sprinkled with a little Ancient FM: Music of the mediæval and renaissance eras.

Impressive! I’ve quoted this from memory for at least a decade. I used to listen to him when I went to sleep. :)

“My Chancellor said we should not indulge in superficial anti-Americanism now, but I assure you:
Mine is not superficial at all!”

Thanks! This sounded very promising but I don’t get any errors from git fsck, so I have to keep looking for other solutions.

Since the update my pi-hole is stoll blocking stuff, but I can not reach the interface anymore. I’m on DietPi and use Unbound as well.

I can’t decide between Fooyin and Rhythmbox. I’d love to stick with Rhythmbox, but I really miss waveform view.

Wanna watch it with my 6 and 9 year olds soon. Is it that sad?! I skipped through it and it looked nice.

I’ll once again post this, keep swiping

Say the word!

I read an interview with the guy, he said that there are only a few fallen civilizations left to talk about and that he wants to end his podcast with an episode about us and our (first time ever) global civilization. Looking forward to that.
On the other hand, I read and listened to Kim Stanley Robinson a lot. In this podcast, he explains why he doesn’t want to write dystopian novels, that they comfortably trap our mind. That we need utopian stories to not give up and let them™ win. I think he has a point.

Let’s talk about that!
I was running Mint 21.3 using THIS script (tutorial) and it was incredible! It one-stop turned my (rather powerful) computer into an audio workstation. I just installed Bitwig and couldn’t have been happier. All my VSTs worked with Yabridge, which came with the script. It was super snappy and my projects where huge! I edited big projects in Davinci as well.
Then I switched to Mint 22, looking forward to using PipeWire and … it’s not great. I have latency and my old projects stutter. I feel like in missing something but I don’t know what it could be. Davinci is giving me errors as well, so can not use it right now. Need to look into it, don’t want to. It’s frustrating, but I don’t want to downgrade!

My country looked up to the US as a charismatic winner with a big ego and an anger problem, who turned full coked up psychopath now. I listened to the Fall of Civilizations-Podcast a lot and this feels like one. It’s scary to watch and I feel sorry for all the good people living in this mess. But I agree, there is no sympathy left. Let the raging insanity humble the evil empire.

Probably no, as its firmware auto-updates and they closed the jailbreak a year or two ago. But who knows, put it in airplane mode and check it.

Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn’t sincere?!

I absolutely agree. I use it at home for lots of different tasks and put it on my parents laptops as well. It might not be the hottest, most modern disto for the cool kids but it’s a great experience.

I have been buying second hand Pixels 4a’s for my family. To me, they’re the perfect phones. I put LineageOS with MicroG on them and use them without Google. I logged in my throwaway Google account to check if some of the IMEI qualify me for a battery swap, but it gives me an error when I enter an IMEI. Do you guys have an idea why this might happen? I’d love to get new batteries for free in them and use them another 6 years or so.

Ah sorry, I edited this out before I read your comment. I get what you are saying, but insults solve no problem. People will just feel insulted and hurt you back, pushing society further apart. Maybe we need to talk more about what we fear. And this might work better if you talk to your family than some random.
