I use Exaile. It has queue(s) that you add tracks to, and the library search is outstanding. I have some albums with various artists, and Exaile can group the library by the album artist.

I used to have the files on my NAS, and “syncing” them via smb. Then I reinstalled my NAS, and for some reason decided to not install smb. I was tinkering with the idea of doing a small http server/client thing instead. But to be frank, my library never changes any longer. I just copy it from the NAS once, and that’s it.

I used a player called Listen back in the days. I loved that one so much.

TIL that Mono is a Microsoft project. I always thought it was an open source reverse engineered .NET

I acknowledge that there are probably many books that are longer than the longest book I know of 😄

Thank you for the link!

My first thought was to pick the longest book I know of, which is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky. I think the PDF version is 2000 pages. Not really sure I want to reread it, though. So maybe the book I’ve reread the most times, which would be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. What a fantastic book.

Coming back half a year later to see this comment. Thank you for thank link. I would love to help out!

There’s also LiteIDE

I think you are correct about the mental health issues. It scares me that the health care is private, and not all can afford it

Aha, I see, thank you

+1 for LXQt. But what do you mean XFCE is not ready? Never used MATE, so I cannot tell, but XFCE seemed solid when I used it

Table locks can be a real pain. You know you need to do the change, but the system is constantly running queries towards it. Now days it’s a bit easier with algorithm=inplace and lock=none, but in the good old days you were on your own. Your only friend was luck. Large migrations like that still gives me shivers

Two things pop up

• I once left an alert() asking “what the fuck?”. That was mostly laughed upon, so no worry.
• I accidentally dropped the production database and replaced it by the staging one. That was not laughed upon.

Speaking of LaTeX, I really recommend LyX. You don’t need to know any LaTeX to use it, and the result is always satisfying

Yes! I just could not stop reading this book. Stayed up way too late. Easily worth it

Blockbuster, simply because they (at least used to have) the best pricing, though the app is not very good. Now days I tend to use YouTube more since the prices on Blockbuster has gone up. This is probably a local thing. I guess prices probably differ between diffent regions.

The Brother printer I bought recently was easier to install on Linux than on Mac. I think that says something. Always works too

I use this one for all my work related notes. It’s simply great. Unlike many other note taking apps CherryTree is not made with Electron. So it’s both powerful and very light

I really like Taskito, and have been using it for quite a while. I think the widget looks very nice too, though I relied more on the notifications.

Recently switched to Microsoft To Do, simply because I realized it works more in the way I think. I make a plan for the day, and tick off the tasks I finish. Some tasks might not be finished (happens a bit too often, I admit), and those tasks will be suggested when I make a plan on the following day. The widget looks OK, not too exciting, but clean enough.
