Where I live, self checkout is usually behind a gate as well, where you have to scan your ticket for it to open.

When talking about unemployment, I think people focus on wrong aspect. Replacing people with machines is good, that’s why we make them. The problem is with how our society functions. Rather than less work for same pay, we get unemployment as a problem.

As for machines, I hate their weight checking. Sometimes it just needs me picking up the item and slamming it onto the bagging area. In the past, some of them used to show weight difference from expected weight, so I would be able to figure out what to shuffle around.
There’s also issues with permissions. For example, removing items or completely exiting shopping requires employee permission. What for?
Also, recently 2 shops decided to change the UI. In the past, you could type in number of items if you had multiple, especially useful for pastry. The new UI requires repeatedly pressing +/- buttons. Really nice when you have 15 of something.
Lastly, scanner cooldown. They seem to have a large cooldown. I just want to quickly scan the items, but no, gotta wait 2 seconds between each item.

The only places where it’s a bliss are supermarkets with systems like scan&shop. You take a portable scanner and scan everything as you put it into a cart, then just pay at the end in a few seconds.

I also make my weekly backups roughly every 3 months. Which reminds me I should do it… tomorrow.

Anyway, last time I lost some data it was when memory card I thought I had backed up died. I managed to gather most of the data from another memory card, 2 laptops, old HDD and a backup DVD as most of the files were scattered around other devices.

Everything from 9 months ago, including notifications from 9 months ago.

Maybe we had yearly backups?

At this point I feel too guilty to even mention it when Lemmy has issues, as it is frequent. I just wait and see what happens.

It wasn’t just Lemmy. Even sdf.org was inaccessible. Perhaps admin just checked from local network.

Who downvoted you?

Anyway, if you have directory-based music organization, Navidrome won’t take that sadly. However, it will take m3u playlists.

So I can just ls playlistdir/* > Playlist.m3u and get that directory as a playlist. Simple, lazy solution.
Oh, you can also add internet radios to Navidrome.

And one cool trick, which is also pretty good to test out Navidrome without effort, in Termux it is already in the repos, so you can just effort-free apt install navidrome, run it and play around.
