Arch package manager here, there is ongoing work behind the scenes to support multiple architectures (aarch64, riscv, etc), but as our volunteers (myself included) are doing this in our free time, progress is up in the air.

Arch package maintainer here; we generally encourage building from source for packages provided by the official repositories. As far as I know, we only ship pre compiled binaries if there is no source available, i.e. commercial programs such as reaper.

Apple (and other streaming services) have been caught out replacing people’s local songs with censored/blessed versions. That is the main reason why some characters will not stream music; because they do not have full control over their own files.

Arctic Code Vault 3 years ago

Does anyone know how to access any of the repos listed in this vault? I’m after a particular one that was deleted earlier this year; has zero forks and does not show up in the way back machine.

I don’t know what I would do without sieve, I use it to manage my mailing list subscriptions, eg move to folders, mark emails from specific chatty users as read, etc.

It automates a lot of manual cruft and I’m endlessly thankful for it.

I do wish it was more widely supported, and I try to do my part to encourage adoption (I maintain several sieve related packages for Arch Linux).

Do you have a PKGBUILD available? I'm currently running into this particular issue when installing the requisite chicken libs:

The optocoupler also works like a cheap (although somewhat hard to replace) fuse which is probably a good thing if you want to connect you Roland Jupiter-8 / Fairlight CMI to some dodgy equipment.

In this case, the older synths are more likely to have failing/dodgy components. I have a DX-7 that I'm going to have to replace a lot of components in, and this sort of knowledge/understanding really should be more common along synth enthusiasts.

I have a Z97 board from ASUS that exhibits this behavior. It’s a bit ridiculous because there is no Secure Boot option in BIOS other than disable/enable.

This kind of stuff really needs to be made explicitly clear in any/all API documentation as it inevitably leads to underlying issues later down the line. It's amazing how something as "simple" as official time/date libraries still have footguns like these.

I'm not bashing anyone that's involved as I realize we're all human and prone to mistakes, I just wish we could all do better.

This is still occurring? I remember the original incident and just assumed that Google had sorted it out with Drew/Sourcehut.

This is absolutely shocking behaviour, and I’m mortified at the precedent that it sets.

Sort of like how retro IBM Thinkpads have all sorts of modifications from new motherboards to screens? I can see something like that happening, I was on the verge of purchasing a Pebble when they announced their doom ^W acquisition via Fitbit.

You can add this to the list: - An update to ca-certificates due to Let's Encrypt's X3 certificate expiring.

That broke Plex on my LG TV.

I'd love a browser extension that automatically redirects all twitter URLs to the nitter equivalent.

From one of the blog posts[0]:

There is also the threat of lawsuit. As I’ve later learnt, 51nb was sued by big L on the pretext that the images and website contained trademarked terms. However, the real reason was revealed that 51nb actually owned the tp.cn domain name and big L wanted it for themselves. Even though 51nb actually won the lawsuit, it hurt their financials badly and they were very reluctant on continuing these projects.

Your post is extremely misleading and full of false information.

I’ve been using a small VPS (sub $10/month) to self host mail for at least 10 years, and I’ve migrated hosts a few times without issue.

I’ve even migrated to a “polluted” IP on a different provider and getting that removed from RBLs took a couple of emails and the entire process honestly took less than a week.
