FLAC’s on NAS. Bluesound Node to stereo system, controlled with Roon. PlexAmp when remote.

Tidal is actually giving their lossless plan to their lower tier subscription, just got an email about it. Pretty nice.

It’s working now. I did reset my router today to get IPv6 working for me, so unsure if that changed anything or in was on your end, but FYI.

I am on Android mobile. Firefox only prompts to download downloadfile.bin. Duckduckgo browser actually opens the file contents. I’ll post it here, since I’m getting it from public I’m hoping that’s okay. This is the content…

I can erase the direct post link and then the site loads, but then if I click the post title it loads the text again…

Also prompting me to download a .bin

So not “everywhere,” and you call me lazy. Hyperbole taints your message.

Are you sure the US is not a puppet of Britain, or Israel? I mean you really can’t say exactly who’s pulling the strings.

And still, what does this have to do with Tucker and Putin?

Use your words. Where else in the middle east have we installed dictators? You said “everywhere” so I’d like some details and not just hyperbole…

Everywhere in the middle east? Where else?

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu

As a power user of windows I’ve lost faith in Ubuntu, though. Their DNS implementation alone is a disaster. So I’ve switched to Debian and KDE, but then I saw there is a Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) so that’s probably what I would recommend if anyone asked me. I personally haven’t used it yet tho as I’m enjoying KDE.

It makes adding space easier down the road, either by linking disks or if you clone your root drive to a larger drive, which tends to not be something most “end users” (I try not to use that description but you said it heh) would do. Yes, using LVM is optional.

Just became a first time user (~48 hours ago) of KDE on Sparky distro and I’m pretty impressed.
