Shit, I've done that!

bypassing the package manager (especially installing with curl | sudo sh

I'll admit that I've done this with a few things that I wanted to install but weren't in my repo...

It's pretty amazing isn't it?! There's no way that I would have had the time and patience set up a server without it.

Check out Ardour for music production. You should be able to get older versions for free on most distributions or get the current version for a donation via their website.

Will I be OK updating from the Debian repo?

[–] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Thanks! Looks like a really interesting app as well.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Is that controlled by the operating system or something else? I'm curious about whether my Debian laptop does the same.

This is awesome - nice work! Are you on Pixelfed?

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were travelling abroad and needed a place to sleep for the night. They stopped at a farm and asked the farmer if they could sleep there. The farmer said "Yes, you can. But all of you must promise not to have sex with my beautiful daughter." They all solemnly agreed and were shown to their room for the night.

One by one though, each of them was overcome by temptation and sneaked down the hall to farmer's daughter's bedroom to have their wicked way with her.

I'm the morning they came downstairs and were greeted by the farmer. "Good morning!" he said, "I hope you all slept well. Take a basket each and go out and pick something from my farm to eat for breakfast". Being very hungry from their travels they all eagerly went out to look for their favourite food.

The first to return was the Englishman. The farmer was waiting for him - with a loaded shotgun. "I know what you did last night!" shouted the farmer, pointing his gun at the Englishman. The Englishman threw his hands up in the air, dropping the basket of strawberries he'd picked for breakfast. "Bend over and put those strawberries up your arse and let that be a lesson to you!" The Englishman did as he was told and pushed the strawberries up his bum. Seeing that the farmer was satisfied the Englishman ran out the door and off into the distance.

Next to return was the Scotsman. "What did you pick for breakfast young man?" asked the farmer. "I picked carrots" answered the Scotsman. "Well put them up your arse you dirty bastard!" screamed the farmer, pulling out the shotgun "I know what you did last night!" "Please dont shoot me sir!" Cried the Scotsman, as he painfully pushed each of the carrots up his bum before making a break for it and running out of the house.

Last to return was the Irishman, carrying his basket on his back. "You dirty lying son of a bitch!" screamed the farmer "You had sex with my daughter last night!" "Now tell me what you picked for breakfast."

The Irishman heaved his basket onto the floor with a thud.

They both looked down at its contents.

"I picked a pumpkin sir."

Recently at work I set up Windows to open spreadsheets and word documents in Libreoffice Calc and Writer instead of Excel and Word. Nobody seems to have noticed yet.

Either that or they don't know how to change back again.

I tried a few out and found that Flowblade worked best for me. If you're only trimming and combining video though, you MUST check out Lossless Cut. It's ridiculously fast.

 

Does anyone have experience with a good privacy-focussed VPS provider? What do you recommend?

I've been using 1984 for quite a while and they have been solid but they have just put their prices up. It's still affordable but I thought it would be a good time to have another look at what else is out there.

 

I'm thinking of getting a new laptop which uses Coreboot. The reason is that I'm into FOSS and would also like to not have IME installed. Currently I'm looking at Starlabs' Starbook, which can optionally be bought with Coreboot.

Can anyone help me evaluate it? I would likely use Debian 12 as my OS.

Many thanks

 

Does anyone know how I can merge/deduplicate contacts in a .vcf vcard file?

A nice easy graphical option would be ace but I have some terminal experience if necessary. I've tried vcardtools.py but I couldn't work out how to use it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

 

Anyone got some good recommendations for Peertube channels to watch or even whole instances?

I'm open to suggestions on any and all topics; broaden my mind! I probably have enough tech ones in my feed already though.

Thanks!

 

Any YUNOhost people here? What are your thoughts about it? Does it fulfil it's purpose of broadening accessibility to self-hosting? Is it secure? Interested to hear what you think.

 

Life is very complicated and that can make us sad.

What have you done, which has successfully simplified your life and made it better?

 

Whatever we might think of the new Labour government's leadership, I think this shows why we need a successful few years. Perhaps I'm being paranoid but if the country is disappointed with Labour I don't want them to resort to electing an even more right wing version of the Tories further down the line.

 

Does anyone know of a reliable source for streaming England matches at the Euros? In particular, the ones that ITV have the rights to? Bonus points if it has English commentators.

I had terrible problems with their website last time

Thanks :)

 

I have some video files which have stereo audio tracks that were created from a mono source. I think the mono signal got sent to the right channel and not the left because when I created the files in OBS I forgot to select mono audio recording. When I play the videos all the sound is on right side only. Hope that makes sense...

How can I either mix down/combine the stereo tracks intoto a single mono track or replace the empty left channel with the audio content of the right channel? Is there a way to do this without reencoding the whole video file?

I could do it in a video editing gui by copypasting the audio track to the other empty channel but I wonder if there might be a more efficient way of doing it. An ffmpeg command perhaps?

Many thanks

 

Is anyone aware of an existing framework or educational tools for delivering in-person FOSS workshops?
