I might get down voted for this, but I’ve honestly found LLMs pretty useful tools for debugging SELinux.

I like Migadu. You must bring your own domain and you can add as many separate accounts as you want

Massively depends on the private tracker. Some have a hard economy where you must seed every byte, but there are plenty of trackers that have bonus points based on seed time and torrent size which you can exchange for download allowances.

Some easy to get in trackers are torrentleech and seedpool, AFAIK both of them have open signups occasionally.

Lol, they did break a lot of backwards compatibility going from 5.6 to 7. That’s why years later you still had people holding out on the migration because it was such a huge change.

Removed by mod

It was in beta for a while apparently

That feature didn’t exist when I started and I haven’t bothered to change it yet. Since this also needs support on all clients, it’s somewhat less portable than my solution.

Edit: Reason 2 I’m not sure how different clients handle the dynamic adjustments

I just started properly tagging new music at some point and now my library is largely tagged correctly.

For tagging I use kid3, great KDE application for that.

I also sort my music into a folder layout like this to know where I got it from and potentially upgrade the quality.

MusicRaw
  - Artist1
    - Bandcamp
      - Album1
    - Tidal
      - Album2
      - Album3
    - Youtube
      - ytrip album
  - Artist2
    - Album1 (not moved to a separate source)
    - Tidal
      - Album2
      - Album3
    - ytrip album

I then have a script to loudness-normalize (come fight me) all music and write it to another subfolder.
A second script takes those normalized files and symlinks them into a structure like this:

Music
  - Artist1
      - Album1
      - Album2
      - Album3
      - ytrip album
  - Artist2
      - Album1
      - Album2
      - ytrip album

I tried switching to Picard, but for somewhat obvious reasons it doesn’t support my insane structure.

In my homelab I mostly don’t bother, most apps are only used by me anyways.

But you probably should separate it. And definitely make a separate account for other people who need admin access.

Trackers that only count login activity are so annoying. Just count my damn active seeding and using your API already!

There’s apparently work going on to have on the fly translations between SHA-1 and SHA-256 as necessary

This probably doesn’t work. Many packages will have glibc as a dependency and pacman doesn’t break that unless you tell it to (IIRC pacman -Rdd)

So instead of 1$ return for 3$ spent it’s now 4$ or 5$ spent.

Not sure how I found it, but the “top stories” feed is https://lobste.rs/top/rss

It does require an account with invitation to comment and upvote

I don’t think he is on HN actually

I used to read HN and find interesting stuff, but stopped when it became ever more flooded with startups and AI this.

In its place I have the RSS feed from lobsters, which surfaces plenty of interesting articles.

• Hetzner: I’ve rented a dedicated server with them for years and it’s been very solid. There are reports of people getting blocked during the first sign up, but I didn’t have that problem nor any other issue since. For bulk data storage their file share offering is also unbeatable imo, I’ve also used that for years and my Nextcloud files plus acquired media still live on such a share.
• Netcup: I have a small VPS here for monitoring, also no issues. It’s somewhat annoying that you need to take the server offline and run a media optimisation task when you delete snapshots (not sure how necessary it actually is, but you get a warning at least)

Some anti-recommendations as well

• Vultr: Years ago I wanted to get their very cheapest VPS offering, but that is only available sometimes in certain locations and at the time they didn’t tell you any of that before you signed up and deposited their minimum fee. I did get the money back though
• Contabo: My previous monitoring VPS lived here. After a while they declared the VPS I was using was a “legacy” product and wanted more money to keep running it. I feel this could have been handled with a forced migration of some sort.
• Digital Ocean: They just donated 3 million USD to a racist’s pet project financing other weird guys

Out of curiosity, what do you podcast about?

Installing it manually will at least give you all the tools to fix your boot loader or troubleshoot an issue that prevents you from booting.

I couldn’t find it for some reason. I’ve messaged you directly, maybe that works?
