My understanding is that the cost of Extended Security Updates (ESU) goes up every year.

I beg to differ. If it’s not a CoViD test, where would you urinate?

I run my own email server using mailcow-dockerized. Ironically, the problem is not enough volume.

They all have their quirks, but until airsonic-advanced catches up with the latest opensubsonic API, I’ve been trying out Audinaut, DSub, and Ultrasonic. I had to reorganize my whole library, though.

I’m not a fan of these album-based apps. most of my music falls under “Various Artists”. As such, I’ve been playing around with Musicbrainz Picard to try different tagging in an attempt to try to find something that works across both at the server and client end.

Subsonic doesn’t work for me, I’m guessing because it refuses to fall back to earlier versions of their API. I could be wrong.

There are many examples of this, but one that comes immediately to mind is the evolution of my favourite LDAP-enabled music player, airsonic-advanced

Subsonic begat libresonic

Libresonic begat airsonic as well as a whole bunch of other projects.

Airsonic begat airsonic-advanced

Airsonic-advanced begat kagemomiji/airsonic-advanced, however the maintainer of the parent codebase, randomnicode, wants to do the right thing and get their code up to snuff with the opensubsonic API (not sure where that fits in to thr history) so kagemomji can take over.

[In my best nature documentarisn voice] Behold, what appears to be moving goalposts to the outside observer is actually a side-effect of the first-past-the-post system’s tendency towards two dominant parties.

I don’t think they’re suggesting taking it away from the rightful owner.

I once realized so many of my favourite businesses were cooperatives. I started thinking of what other co-ops I could start and grow. The excitement faded once I realized it would have to not be about the money.

I edited for clarity to explain that I’m referring to the subgenre pop punk, which one could easily argue is not punk.

I’d disagree. Stuff like this springs out of acts of popular piety. When you teach that the relics of people in heaven can work as prayer aides, it’s a foregone conclusion that some may want to decorate (or even wallpaper, like the photos of the skulls) a prayer space with the highest class of relics.

It’s an unanticipated reaction to authority, ergo punk.

Was it one of the segments in Square One Television?

Also, it was grape flavour, not cherry flavour Flavor Aid.

It’s the other way around in Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba, isn’t it?

I have no experience in this specific matter, but you could look up how to switch the sector size from 512 bytes to 4096 and, you know, just do the opposite.

This was definitely an unnecessarily gendered post. My wife’s secondary function is transforming food into heat energy.

That’s partialism, Patrick.

Ten 9/11's?

Jesus, that's… 8 and 2/11.
