Well. Upgrading bofh.social to the latest Sharkey was definitely a roller coaster.
It took FOREVER to come back up to the point where I thought there were other problems. Rebooted the box several times. Rolled-back system updates. Fucking hell.
Good experience though for the next 4 instance upgrades over the next couple of days.

Remastered in HD to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Step Back In Time.
Kylie’s homage to the 70s disco scene, “Step Back In Time” was the second single from 1990’s “Rhythm 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.

2 homeless dudes just emerged from th3 hedges near me, a couple of minutes apart. One was adjusting his shorts and the other putting on his over coat. I wonder if those hobos were having bum sex?
Those are all good points though I disagree a bit with the brown coats/confederates but I get what you mean.
I think I'll let that show sit in my memory as it is. Without rewatching any of it I can definitely see the issues. Especially Jayne thinking more on it

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.
Works perfect! I've already listened to Napalm Death, Debussy and Red hot chili peppers.

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.
Hi, I'm Nick, and I run The Linux Experiment, a Youtube Channel and Podcast where I talk about Linux, Open Source, and privacy. I make 3 videos per week, including a Linux …
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.
Make a script. I'd use xonsh or python with sh.py.
create a dict for remote to local filename map
walk your local collection
for each file, determine what the correct remote name (including a valid extension) would be, and add the pair to the dict, with remote filenames as keys, local filenames as values
make a set like local_munged_names from that dict's keys
walk your remote tree, and store the filenames in a set like remote_names
And thanks for the coding tips. It seems git is not the best option here because it keeps a full history of all files in their fullness - a gigantic waste of space in the case of a media collection.
I am now thinking more rsync minus lossless formats, then deal with lossless formats separately.
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.

The #reliability of AI tools needs to increase dramatically if #developers are going to produce a model that can meet or surpass human #intelligence, commonly known as artificial general intelligence. #Researchers seem to believe improvements at that scale are unlikely to happen soon.
Artificial intelligence needs to be a lot more reliable to catch up with the hype cycle. A computer science professor says the industry has been "overly optimistic."
On 15 February 2022, at his joint news conference with Vladimir Putin which concluded his visit to Moscow, former German chancellor Olaf Scholz called ‘risible’ the Russian leader’s denunciation of the Kiev regime as neo-Nazi run.
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 — and there is video that supports it.
"There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — 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.
The #administration of #Trump – himself a prolific and often confrontational social media user – has also sharply criticized #Germany and #Britain for restricting what the US allies’ governments term #hate and abusive speech.
