  I recommend Opus as the lossy audio format.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ethical alternatives to Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TIDAL has a lot over Spotify:

  • You won’t pay military robots with your TIDAL subscription.
  • TIDAL pays artists notably better.
  • HiFi for much less money.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ethical alternatives to Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  TIDAL works well with CarPlay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ethical alternatives to Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  All of three are also available on Deezer and TIDAL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ethical alternatives to Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Vinyl. The answer is Vinyl.

  Enjoy! The developer is happy about any bug reports and/or feature ideas, and he’s really responsive. :-)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future of Vim builds for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have a soft spot for WordStar, to an extent where I wrote a WordStar-to-Markdown converter just to make WordTsar (no typo) even more useful for my daily usage. (Emacs doesn’t just cut it for letters.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future of Vim builds for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re not built with the latest libraries, IIRC not even MSVC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The future of Vim builds for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Emacs.

  Oh! I stand corrected. Haven’t heard news about it in quite some time though. Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have noticed that Mozilla has a long history of bad decisions. I wish that the Foundation wouldn’t just let it bit-rot though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even Mozilla doesn’t really want Gecko anymore, that’s why they started Servo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Selling”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that they are still Microsoft applications. You can’t say “I’ll leave Microsoft!” and run their software in a Windows simulator anyway. That would be … inaccurate, to say the least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or rather, between two AI winters.

  Or use embedded Lisp, like all the cool kids.

  Keep her!

  I don’t want to convert anyone. :-) Just because you suggested it can’t be easier. I warmly recommend anyone to try it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gitlab-the-company isn’t really much different from GitHub-the-company, to be honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Migrating Fossil: scp my-repo.fossil ssh://new/repos- tada

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends on whether Git is a requirement. If it’s not, the infrastructure requirements for Forgejo are still higher than Darcshub or Fossil. If you’d like to have Git with a decent web interface, but you don’t absolutely need pull requests or whatever, Stagit is another lovely option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Fossil (a DVCS that’s not Git-based) for most of my code. The main reason is that self-hosting (and keeping backups of) it is incredibly easy: One Fossil repository is one file. For those who absolutely require Git interaction for any reason, one-way mirrors are perfectly possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He has good reasons, in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNS server⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only downside is the fact that initially it can be quite overwhelming

  On the other hand, Technitium comes with a fairly useful configuration straight out of the box. If you only want to use it on your home LAN (and therefore don’t necessarily need SSL), the only thing you really need to change is the block list field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNS server⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Any other DNS server I might be able to try?

  I use and warmly recommend Technitium DNS. Unlike most other solutions, it uses the root servers by default while still providing an ad blocker, DoH, DoQ etc. - and it does not even require any command-line kung-fu for that (except for the installation, which is one command).
