And the tweet:

I’ve definitely trimmed some artists from my personal music library over their politics.

I still think that’s why Vance thinks Haitians are eating cats.

The US doesn’t want that either.

Be quiet, resident of “Further North Dakota”.

Yup, xmpp is the way to be still IMO.

Yes but it wasn’t marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.

Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.

Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.

With no server-side transcoding, yeah the nuc is plenty, but I also run my media server (JF containers, to be specific) on Debian.

If you do end up needing transcoding, the newer Intel stuff is great. I’m considering arc actually for other reasons, but ideally anything skylake (for HEVC) or Kaby Lake (hevc 10 bit) on up is a rock solid choice, no external GPU needed.

That’s what I do, nieces and nephews. They are a bit older than my kids, and their parents are not tech savvy.

I basically have a kids library for anything under PG, and I grab common sense media ratings for a decent estimate on appropriate age, and let them go from there. Then I use tags for what we find appropriate for our kids.

Some of them still use other things I wouldn’t go near (YouTube kids, ffs that place is wild and weird), but that’s their decision not mine.

FWIW I run mine off an 8th gen Intel, igpu for transcoding (though mostly I don’t need to transcoded), on a little lenovo tiny workstation I picked up on the cheap. Storage is on my NAS.

Yup.

I’ve got two kids, the amount of time they get consuming content is limited, the content they have access to is only from my media server (so very curated), and occasional extras like crafting/drawing/etc when we are sitting next to them. And even that I’m moving to the media server due to the ads, which are impossible to really curate and can be very, very odd…

The physical presence of a screen being on is not an issue. Using it as a replacement for parenting is an issue. Especially under 2.

I just wish it wasn’t so much effort to manage content that other parents could do it more easily.

Oh I’m not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don’t need flash, I need function.

I wouldn’t mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I’m not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.

A core developer quit and forked it to make freenginx, based on a claim of corporate interference in security practices.

This was about 6 months ago and probably what you are thinking of. Its still open source, there doesn’t seem to be anything that’s come of the issue that was the cause of the split, and nginx is still actively developed.

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user… Its the same in 2024.

Got that one! Great book.

Along with “I need a new butt” / “I broke my butt”

So… Just Robert Picardo then?

I’m not exactly the typical user here, but honestly Resolve is the best option on Linux. My caveat here is that I run Resolve on my stable box, which is a Debian box, and works beautifully.

codec support is the issue as a free version, but two things there - if you’re editing, mp4 is generally not what you want anyway, and you can just use ffmpeg (or any variety of tools that use ffmpeg underneath but give you a gui) if you’ve got a file you need that its the only container format.

If you’re doing it professionally, its $300, and worth buying. Much like buying Reaper for the whopping cost of $60 (personal)/$225 (commercial).

Regarding Wayland support, I think the first release addressing it was around March or April, and is fully supported in Resolve 19. I haven’t tested, because my Debian Stable box is not using Wayland, so I personally won’t test probably for a few months (or if I get an itch to try it on my 1700x Arch box).

GPU just needs OpenCL 1.2, so despite some previous snafus (needing nvidia) with GPU, AMD works just fine.

Well, this goes on the old birthday wishlist… Awesome stuff!

Windows? Mouse without borders

Linux/Mac/mix of that and windows? Barrier.

If, of course, you can install things on your work laptop.

Yes, Jingle.
