I use Exaile. It has queue(s) that you add tracks to, and the library search is outstanding. I have some albums with various artists, and Exaile can group the library by the album artist.

I used to have the files on my NAS, and “syncing” them via smb. Then I reinstalled my NAS, and for some reason decided to not install smb. I was tinkering with the idea of doing a small http server/client thing instead. But to be frank, my library never changes any longer. I just copy it from the NAS once, and that’s it.

I used a player called Listen back in the days. I loved that one so much.

I did! I feel proud of myself. Thank you for asking

This is me, right this moment. About to put the phone away. Any moment now. I promise.

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

I do use EWW from time to time

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

Tumbleweed user here. I have no idea how to compile additional kernel modules. I do keep track of what’s changed on every update, though, but that’s because I find it exciting. Seeing that update icon in the morning makes me happy. I am sure you don’t need to care as much about it as I do. You can upgrade every now and then without looking too close, and be very happy

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Two things pop up

• I once left an alert() asking “what the fuck?”. That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
• I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

Hah, even!

Been using Qwant for maybe a year or so. Recently found Swisscows too. I am not sure if Qwant uses their own index. I remember that they said that they were to create their own index, but the results looks suspiciously similar to Bing. Swisscows for sure runs their own index, and I find the results to be rather good
