Kylie Minogue - Step Back In Time (Official Remastered HD Video)


Remastered in HD to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Step Back In Time.

Kylie’s homage to the 70s disco scene, β€œStep Back In Time” was the second single from 1990’s β€œRhythm Of Love” LP. It reached number 4 in the UK singles chart and number 5 in Australia and is a mainstay of Kylie’s live repertoire to this day.

Lyrics:

I want to funk
I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k
I want to funk, I want to funk
I want to f-f-you f-you-n-k
Non stop dancing the bus stop
To the funky music
Hustle, pumpin the muscle
Blame it on the boogie
Remember the old days
Remember the O'Jays
Walkin' in rhythm, life was for livin'
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Keep on truckin' along
Riding on a love train
And then we can float on
You'll never go wrong
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time
Step back in time
Step back
I want to step back, step back
When you can't find the music
To get down and boogie
All you can do is step back in time
Ball of confusion
When nothing is new, and
There's nothing doin', step back in time

The video was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Nick Egan. It features Kylie and an entourage of 1970’s dancers driving around downtown LA in a big red Cadillac.

Songwriters: Mike Stock / Matt Aitken / Peter Waterman

Return of the AMP!


Finally it is back! Our AMP! I did sort of miss listening to recorded music. My family had to live with me doing the funk on flute and piano and percussion while it was away.

Now it has been cleaned inside for the first time in thirty years. They didn't need to replace the potentiometer, just clean it, but they (J.A.Radio at Frederiksberg) replaced some resistors in the mumblewhatnotmumti circuitry.

Obsidian offers the ability to link notes together, it uses markdown and plain text to store your notes, it has a plugin ecosystem, and the visual knowledge graph that lets you explore topics and the relationships between your notes. BUT it's proprietary, so we have Logseq. It takes notes as markdown files, it has more than 150 plugins, and a bunch of themes, it has mobile apps, it's private, and it does have the same linking features and knowledge graph.

It even lets you create queries to generate tables with all the information you need, based on the links and data you entered in your notes.Logseq even offers their own syncing solution if you want that. It's available for Linux, as an AppImage, and for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.

Another really powerful app is Notion. While it's free of charge, it's also proprietary and doesn't have an official Linux version.

The closest thing you can find in the open source world will be AppFlowy, and while it's really close, it's not as feature complete just yet. You can create your own structure, with pages and subpages, and you have a few page types, like calendars, boards, tables, or documents. You also can mix these types on the same page, like having a board with cards, that you can also present in a table, or on a calendar, but you won't get as many templates as what Notion offers.

If you want a more full featured app, there's AnyType instead. It's also open source, and has a Linux client and mobile apps, but the interface is a bit more involved and less clear to start with than AppFLowy.

Now this one, you might not have as much control over, generally, a company or project will impose Slack or Microsoft Teams on you. But if you have all the power, then you might want to take a look at Mattermost.

It's a fully open source Slack / MS Teams alternative, that you can self host. It lets you create channels, and chat, with side threads, file sharing, screen sharing, and audio calls. It can be integrated with a bunch of developer tools to automate things, you can format messages with markdown, or code snippets, and all messages can be archived, with full history search.

If all you need to organize yourself is a board, you might use Trello. This one is pretty easy to replace: you can just use Focalboard. You can either self host it if you want to let multiple people access the same board, or you can just use it as a personal app, with a macOS, Windows and Linux application.

If you need to create and edit PDF documents, you might use Acrobat Pro, from Adobe. You can always open them in GIMP, Inkscape, of LibreOffice Draw, but these tend to either open a single page, or break the document's formatting. Libreoffice draw does a great job IF you have all the fonts used in the PDF installed on your system , but editing text is generally handled in a line per line basis, instead of recognizing things as paragraphs, which can be a pain to deal with.

Visual Studio Code's ... code is licensed under the MIT license, so it IS an open source / free software project, but the binary you can get from Microsoft isn't open source. The alternative, thus, is easy: VSCodium. It's built on the open source parts of VS Code, but removes all the tracking, telemetry and proprietary components. It's compatible with VS Code's plugins and extensions, and has the exact same interface and features, but in a nice open source form.

Trying to recreate a version control system for my music collection, with one crucial difference ... 🀯


I want to have a mirror of my local music collection on my server, and a script that periodically
updates the server to, well, mirror my local collection.

But crucially, I want to convert
all lossless files to lossy, preferably before uploading them.

That's the one reason why I can't just use git - or so I believe.

I also want locally deleted files to be deleted on the server.

Sometimes I even move files around (I believe in directory structure) and again,
git deals with this perfectly. If it weren't for the lossless-to-lossy caveat.

It would be perfect if my script could recognize that just like git does, instead of deleting and reuploading the
same file to a different location.

My head is spinning round and round and before I continue messing around with find
and scp it's time to ask the community.

I am writing in bash but if some python module could help with it I'm sure I could
find my way around it.

TIA


additional info:

  • Not all files in the local collection are lossless. A variety of formats.
  • The purpose of the remote is for listening/streaming with various applications
  • The lossy version is for both reducing upload and download (streaming) bandwidth. On mobile broadband FLAC tends to buffer a lot.
  • The home of the collection (and its origin) is my local machine.
  • The local machine cannot act as a server

in reply to A_norny_mousse

you know, you could also either include a lossy copy next to the lossless ones, then rsync only lossy extensions, or, if that pollutes your collection, have a separate but identically-structured directory tree, where all your lossless files have lossy copies. Then, you can rsync both folders (send-only) to your single remote (lossy extensions only).

but, yeah, Git really isn't the tool for this, agreed.

FBI reveals there's video to prove Jeffrey Epstein killed himself


FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody β€” and there is video that supports it.

"There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case β€” and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly... there is video. That is something the public does not know," Bongino said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

Bongino clarified that the video in question does not show the "actual act" but proves that Epstein was the only person who came in or out of his cell on the night he died, on August 10, 2019.

BREAKING: @PennMedicine has announced that it is ending its practice of providing certain s*x-related mutilation surgeries on kids under 19.

However, officials have reportedly stated that they will still provide genital & breast mutilations, voice augmentation, and facial surgeries to children. They will also still be providing children with hormones and puberty blockers.

All forms of "gender affirming care" for children must be abolished. This is not enough.
