Thank you for writing this. The past month I spent some time trying to look for a way to import listenbrainz playlists to jellyfin/navidrome but I was not finding anything. Explo is awesome!

Another tool I discovered yesterday is sptnr, which leverages the spotify API and converts Spotify’s popularity to Navidrome star ratings. This allows me to go to an artist and sort by rating descending, which actually becomes popularity descending.

Now I’m using jellyfin mainly because the listenbrainz plugin allows scrobbling favorites, while navidrome does not support this. If anyone knows a way to scrobble favorites from navidrome to listenbrainz I would really appreciate it.

Ever since i switched to zen browser i hace not thought of coming back for a second.

did you mean crowdsec instead of crowdstrike?

ventoy is what has worked best for me

Well, I do. In fact I’ve installed Linux on 4 classmate’s laptops, after insisting for some time.

VSCode or JetBrains Rider are good options for .net development, both available on Linux.

all you had to do, was enabling rpm fusion cj

I wish more apps where officially supported, instead of saying it supports Linux and providing a .deb. Good thing the community provides unofficial flatpaks at least.

I understand your perspective but the steps you mentioned are what you’d expect when installing an os. Even windows 11 would require you to turn on TPM which, for some, might be a super painful experience.

I use flatpak for all GUI apps I use.

I have a zenbook as well (not the same model) and I only had problems with Windows. When coming back from suspension it would be hot and the screen had like white fog on the edges. I tried to fix it but with no success. Frustrated with that I decided to give Linux a try and never had that problem again.

I assume you changed the ssd, I didn’t know that was possible, I thought it was soldered to the motherboard. Is it possible you received a faulty drive from WD?

ffmpeg

If that is a true priority, then you do not want Android TV.

Not even a raspberry pi with lineage os?

You would also be hesitant with youtube and netflix

I know. As I said, I’d be using Jellyfin for the most part.

check fd-find, “A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to ‘find’”. Really good trust me

in my case if I use mkv it starts transcoding and mp4 works fine on every device (desktop, android app, Chromecast, browser)

that surely is the issue. you can convert it to mp4 with ffmpeg: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy output.mp4 If you want to keep subtitles this will probably work: ffmpeg -i input.mkv -map 0 -c copy -c:s mov_text output.mp4

you could double check the codec with mediainfo. also check it is mp4.

Neovim

orgmode with neovim on PC and orgzly on phone. syncing with syncthing

Edit: I’m actually using orgzly revived, a community maintained version of orgzly, since orgzly is no longer mantained

For anyone who is interested in note taking in your everyday editor like vim or emacs, orgmode is an emacs tool (in neovim there is a clone plugin) for note taking, todos, agendas, etc. It uses a format similar to markdown, and a good part is that with the orgzly app you receive notifications for your events. So basically you can use orgmode as a calendar as well (I do!).

why not just evaluate the apps themselves
