I’ve been using Pikaraoke, which is FOSS, can run on a Raspberry pi, and using yt-dlp can add songs to the library from youtube on the fly. I’ve been very happy with it.

As an additional warning probably best to avoid amazon because counterfeits are just dumped in the bin with the actual mfr stuff and you could get burned there too. Buy from B&H or some other vendor that doesn’t have this practice

I was not aware of fuck. That’s fabulous

You can do this with the dd command. To prep:

Set up a live boot USB stick with your distro of choice.

Install another SSD/nvme/HDD at least the same size as your bookworm install into your bookworm machine. If that’s not an option connect a USB drive that’s at least the same size as the drive with your bookworm installation.

Boot into the live USB on the bookworm machine.

Make sure the partition(s) from your bookworm install are unmounted.

Quadruple check the drives/devices for the dd command. Here’s the basics of the command:

dd if=/device/where/bookworm/is/installed of=USB/or/second/drive/in/machine bs=8M status=progress

So, if your bookworm install is on /dev/sda, and the USB or secondary is /dev/sdb, then the Cmand would be:

dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=8M status=progress

I just installed Tumbleweed on my laptop alongside my main install (arch btw) to try it out, but I haven’t had a chance to mess with yast yet.

Amateurs use the up arrow. The real pros use history | grep 'something I remember from the command statement' :)

gasp how dare you suggest nano over vim! /s

Do you have a revese proxy setup?

I’ve been learning bash and working on scripts to automate stuff in my homelab. It’s been a lot of fun. I’m currently working on a script that will rename the movies and TV shows I rip from my DVD collection.

The script queries the tmdb api, presents me with a mwnu of matches if there’s multiple matches, renames the media files according to jellyfin spec, and then places them in the proper folders to be indexed by Jellyfin and Kodi.

Heh. I haven’t started exploring other shells yet.

Perfect. I’m feeling comfortable enough with bash that next on my list is AWK. Gonna download this when I get home!

Used thinkpad is an easy choice. If you want new, I’ve been very happy with the framework 13

If it has to be a de, I’d pick gnome. Otherwise it’s hyprland.

Most of the “militias” support this tyranny. They’re celebrating

Nah. Ubuntu gets hate for some good reasons, but it’s still a fine distro, especially if you’re happy with it.

That’s what pisses me off. I’d never give my data willing, but it’s unwillingly given through any relatives that did do this.

+1. Audiobookshelf is fantastic.

Rsync and NFS for me.

Vibe coding is a hilarious term for this too. As if it’s not just letting AI write your code.

Hahaha. Was about to comment nearly the same thing. My NFS share has a different mount. ~/Documents is an empty directory
