I did as well, small comfort.

And it’ll be subscription based.

I expect an affinity subscription plan.

Awesome!

I use my airpods with my graphene os device (also a 7a) every day. One thing I’d recommend doing is first connect the airpods to a macos/iOS device and go into settings to customize the double tap/squeeze options for your airpods. This will then be the behavior those actions will have with your graphene device. Then have all apple devices forget those airpods.

Once that’s done you should be able to have your 7a find and connect to the airpods once you put them as n pairing mode.

This is the way.

Got it. I misunderstood your comment. My apologies!

The sentiment isn’t dumb. It’s true. The Democrats don’t give a fuck about us plebs. I voted for Harris and absolutely will vote for/choose the lesser evil as long as I’m still able. Doing so does not mean the Dems give any fucks about me.

Remember when Bernie had real momentum behind him and the Dems sabotaged him because Hillary was determined to have her run at the presidency? If the Democratic party gave a fuck about the voting public they’d have gone whole hog behind Bernie.

It the Dems cared about normies, they’d be doing more than performative filibusters that accomplish nothing. If the Democratic party cared they’d be throwing up every fucking roadblock they could to actually try and stop that motherfucker Trump and his fucking cronies.

Are the Dems a better option than the Republicans? Yes. Do the Dems care about us? No. They’re just the less shitty choice.

I really hope it sticks. Then something decent will have come out of this shit (US) government.

Isn’t this like the third time they’ve done this and it lasts until Microsoft backs a dump truck of money up to the government?

Don’t get me wrong though. I hope it sticks! Fuck Microsoft.

Edit: spelling

I’ve been using Pikaraoke, which is FOSS, can run on a Raspberry pi, and using yt-dlp can add songs to the library from youtube on the fly. I’ve been very happy with it.

As an additional warning probably best to avoid amazon because counterfeits are just dumped in the bin with the actual mfr stuff and you could get burned there too. Buy from B&H or some other vendor that doesn’t have this practice

You can do this with the dd command. To prep:

Set up a live boot USB stick with your distro of choice.

Install another SSD/nvme/HDD at least the same size as your bookworm install into your bookworm machine. If that’s not an option connect a USB drive that’s at least the same size as the drive with your bookworm installation.

Boot into the live USB on the bookworm machine.

Make sure the partition(s) from your bookworm install are unmounted.

Quadruple check the drives/devices for the dd command. Here’s the basics of the command:

dd if=/device/where/bookworm/is/installed of=USB/or/second/drive/in/machine bs=8M status=progress

So, if your bookworm install is on /dev/sda, and the USB or secondary is /dev/sdb, then the Cmand would be:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=8M status=progress

Do you have a revese proxy setup?

I’ve been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It’s been a lot of fun. I’m currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.

The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there’s multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.

Heh. I haven’t started exploring other shells yet.

Perfect. I’m feeling comfortable enough with bash that next on my list is AWK. Gonna download this when I get home!

Used thinkpad is an easy choice. If you want new, I’ve been very happy with the framework 13

If it has to be a de, I’d pick gnome. Otherwise it’s hyprland.

WAT?
