If you don't let the work pile up, then management thinks that your workload is fine

Love that this is still going, spent literally hours and hours on this for MSN a long time ago

Why so much work when you get back? Don't other people in the business handle it while you are away?

What kind of illness causes that? Radiation poisoning?

I haven't checked, but the Clementine one might work as strawberry is just a fork of clementine.

Does anybody know why there was such a huge influx in December?

Very cool to see someone building tools for low end devices

I had assumed that was both but not sure

I didn't know this either! Just seen their site, they have several packages: https://www.zrythm.org/en_GB/download.html

I think it is fair enough that they need to make money somehow but looks like they have only made £155 in November which is a shame. I have been a low-level donor for Ardour for 12 years now, and you can see they make something like £4000. I will check out Zrhythm properly as they obviously put a lot of effort in.

Got to say I strongly disagree, I have used Ardour and other DAWs extensively. Ardour is a very good DAW but it's MIDI capabilities are still improving. Zrhythm and Ardour came from different angles and seems like they are both becoming more modern.

Why does nobody maintain PPAs anymore? (feddit.uk)
 

When I first started using Linux 15 years ago (Ubuntu) , if there was some software you wanted that wasn't in the distro's repos you can probably bet that there was a PPA you could add to your system in order to get it.

Seems that nowadays this is basically dead. Some people provide appimage, snap or flatpak but these don't integrate well into the system at all and don't integrate with the system updater.

I use Spek for audio analysis and yesterday it told me I didn't have permission to read a file, I a directory that I owned, that I definitely have permission to read. Took me ages to realise it was because Spek was a snap.

I get that these new package formats provide all the dependencies an app needs, but PPAs felt more centralised and integrated in terms of system updates and the system itself. Have they just fallen out of favour?

Radical New Discovery Could Double The Speed of Existing Computers - simultaneous and heterogeneous multithreading (www.msn.com)
 

Does anyone know more about this? Sounds like distributing tasks to other processors that are not really designed for the job? Articles are making it out to be a miracle and not sure whether to believe it

How to route transmission through Mullvad? (feddit.uk)
 

Does anyone know the best way to route traffic from transmission through Mullvad?

I have transmissionset up on my plex server which I control using tranmission remote and want to download my Linux ISOs with privacy.

I have downloaded the wireguard config and can connect to it using wg-quick, but I don't want all traffic going through it, only transmission.

Nextcloud alternatives (feddit.uk)
 

So far my experience with Nextcloud has been that it is a pain in the arse to install, and once it's installed is slow as anything. Literally couldn't run it on my pi 3b, now got it up and running pretty nicely on a NUC but it's still not great. Have caching set up.

I have the notes app installed on my android phone and I can never used rich text editing because it gives timeout error.

This shouldn't be this complicated. All I want is to de-Google my documents and notes, and self-host my kanban. I don't really need the rest though it's nice to have the options.

Do people use alternatives? Am I doing something completely wrong? I set it up using nginx which I know is not supported, but the alternative using Docker AIO didn't allow me to use custom port easily.

What's your lemmy app of choice? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm currently using Jerboa but curious to know whether any of the ones popping up are a better experience!

Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.

Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.
