#Linux #MediaPlayer #MediaCenter #CoverflowMP

Es gibt ein Update auf Version 2.0 für meine Linux-GUI-Applikation "CoverflowMP"

Es handelt sich um einen MediaPlayer/ein MediaCenter im Vollbildmodus (angepasst für die Darstellung auf großen / TV-Bildschirmen)

In der neuen Version ist ein Konfigurator hinzugekommen. In diesem Konfigurator kann man (derzeit) das Hintergrundbild der App dynamisch festlegen und mehr als einen Video-Ordner konfigurieren

Installation:
curl -fsS websocket.bplaced.net/install.… | sh

I'd forgotten this...

Matthew Broderick, as David Lightman, in WarGames (1983) is seen playing Galaga, one of the best early fixed-shooter video games.

A version of said game is available in the present day on Debian based distros as xgalaga (and probably most other distros, too).

PS
The movie is great, albeit the technology is really out-dated. 😃

I don't know about NoMachine, I have been using "Remote desktop connection" on Windows or Remmina on Linux.
I hope they're both equally secure, hopefully the #Linux people around here can confirm this?

#Superbooth26 is in about a month.

It would be nice if we had a little more activity around it here on the Fediverse.

I'm planning on going this year and I have a little project (a little hardware box based on the adafruit feather... ) that I'll be carrying around with me. Yes, vibe coding definitely involved - but it helps my music creation, it's a tool, I'm using it.

I would really like to connect with people doing audio on #Linux

I found this neat set of plugins for #Linux, but they run into a typical #Debian / #Ubuntu problem.

They need a library that Ubuntu has dropped, libgl1-mesa-glx

Hey fellow nerds.

How do you handle large-ish volume backups between Linux hosts? About 1TB of data. Source has 100Mbps upload. Receiving end is Gbit.

Incrementals will be essential, since full backup is nearly a day's worth of upload.

FOSS suggestions only at this stage. It's currently performing backups put of my control with Veeam and I'm a bit nervous about the whole situation being out of my hands.

Spielt jemand das Linux Game Oolite?
Ich habe bis vor kurzen noch EliteDangerous gespielt - aber das wird alles so aufgebauscht und träge...

Oolite ist so wunderbar am 80er Jahre Original gehalten - obwohl ich mir Mausunterstützung wünschen würde.

Bei 700-1.000 Erweiterungen... weiß jemand, was sich lohnt zu implementieren? Vielleicht Maussteuerung und deutsche Lokalisierung?
Ich habe bisher keine Tipps gefunden.

There used to be an operating system called "V" that ran the "W window System".

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(opera…

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W_Window…

W was ported to #Unix at MIT and switched to an asynchronous protocol. It was renamed to "X".

XFree86 and Xorg are implementations of X version 11, or "X11".

If there would be an "X12", this is what it might look like:

x.org/wiki/Development/X12/

In case you're curious about Wayland and not "Y", it's because it already exists:

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

I keep hearing from more and more random people that they switched or are at least trying out #Linux .

And I am afraid that Linux adoption is getting to a point where most people who could / would switch to it already did. The rest won't be able to clear the "barrier to entry" or some issue / missing feature will be a deal-breaker for them.

#FOSS community should make some sort of desktop-Linux-wide issue tracker / knowledgebase in order to analyse and document the common Linux complaints.

@SalemsLot Hahahaha. Seriously? You decided to use a distribution made by Big Tech containing tons of anti-freedom software (including Snap, based 100% on Canonical's commercial, proprietary, corporate-controlled, monolithic "app store"), and now you want to get rid of it because its upstream added an optional field to a JSON file 🤣😂🤦🤦🤦.

Ooooh, this world is such a circus.

Given the ridiculously stupid things happening in the world now, I had this sinking feeling that it would be for real. But after reading FloofyWolf's full post, I'm fairly certain it is satirical.

(See lists.debian.org/debian-legal/… )

For me #Linux is the last bastion of computing freedom, now that MS and Apple appear to have become largely just #enshittified marketing/surveillance/fee-charging engines. I can certainly imagine a future where Linux (of all flavors) is under all-out assault from the tech-bros.

How can anyone reasonably say that music can't be created in Linux, when we have tools like this available to us?

Systemd merged age verification to comply with California state law.

If you want to enter a birth date, I recommend "Friday, 13 December 1901 20:45:52".

I like this for a few reasons:

1. This is the earliest date possible for a 32 bit datetime integer in C.
2. It's malicious compliance.
3. It's obviously faked.
