I have a standing fatwa on snap only because it comes installed and enabled by default on Ubuntu server. Maybe it's good for grandmas laptop but it's kill-on-sight in a server environment. Every Ubuntu server I've seen has eventually been taken offline without any warning because of snapd doing some auto update.

Ubuntu server should have snapd disabled. Ubuntu shouldn't be the default distro for VPS providers. AFAIK its only the default because its the distro most people might have prior experience with.

While I'm at it, Fedora is also on my shit list as dnf requires over a gig of memory to do a major version upgrade.

I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it.

With no explanation of what happened, the conclusion is almost certainly Internal politics.

It seems like forgejo split from gitea because it looked like gitea was going the route of gitlab. Idk if NixOS is going to commercialize though. Based on recent gossip it sounds like they're overly adverse to commercialization. IE banning people for having DoD connections. Aux's talk about special interest groups makes it sound like they're going embrace that like redhat.

MPD. Is the way. Queue is playlist. Save queue as playlist. Playlist in folder. Load playlist to queue. Load playlist to queue. Playlists con...conc...concatentatetded. Concatenated.

There's programs like kdesu which you can use. Idk if you can (or should) hack a context menu for a run-as-root option on everything. But you can make aliases or specifically application menu items for the specific apps you want to use.

We must first ask What GUI program are you trying to run as root?

Just highlighting how simple of a player it must be to reach a stable state so quickly.

Yeah they won.

Sounds like deadbeef

I remember using foobar2000 on windows and then trying out deadbeef on linux. The problem is it falls into a demand gap on linux. People drawn to foobar2000 tend to be power users but on linux there is way more options available for power users.

Like how the author enjoys the directory based music browser for the exact same reasons I did. My music wasnt tagged correctly but it was manually sorted correctly by me. On linux the solution is to use beets to automatically sort and correctly tag all of your music.

Then there's the issue of the player. On linux the titan is MPD, a music player server. MPD has no UI but and client can have any UI it wants. Then you get stuff like, mpc, ncmpc, ncmpcpp, cantata, etc. Once you learn about all the possibilities of MPD, you dont want to use a foobar2000 clone unless its a MPD client.

Also writing plugins in a custom language (fooscript) is usually a bad idea. Just use Lua. Its literally what lua is built to do.

Last item omits Cuban interventions in Africa, ie Angola.

Hmm. There's qrcp but thats desktop to mobile. Something like that for android....

It sounds like you just want a generic file hosting website. Does it need to have an app on your end? At most, you need an account on that website to ensure your the only recipient. If you dont need that though something like mega should be fine.
