Hi @tuxedocomputers on your website you mention that Ubuntu & TuxedoOS are currently highly recommended for the Infinitybook 14 Pro AMD due to fixes that are not yet part of the mainline kernel. Do you have a way to notify customers of when these fixes are part of the mainline kernel? I'd prefer […]

Moved all my domains away from Transip, sadly I now have some DNS issues with some domain names...not all. I assume these have to do with either 1) Me doing something wrong in the not so clear DNS panel of OXXA 2) My failing Pi-Hole 3) DNS propagation not being done yet. Disabled the Pi-hole & […]

People of a certain age will probably remember the weird, arty & adventurous musical (EU version?) MTV with the pioneering animation artworks. Well some people decided to outdo the old MTV in the Fediverse. Checkout:

As far as I can tell there is no information shared on the mentioned platforms on this downtime. Perhaps @internetarchiveeurope knows more?

I find it a bit strange & perhaps too coincidental given that […]

'High House' by Jessie Greengrass.

A story written in simple, beautiful, poetic yet effective prose about people & the impact of #ClimateChange.

I could so easily visualize the bleak, melancholic universe, that it felt a bit too close to reality at times. The story could double as […]

Testing #qobuz as a replacement for #spotify:

- Signup was a bit wonky, prices vague

- Listening to the same album on Spotify & Qobuz. I might be imagining it, but Qobuz HiRes version does seem to sound a bit better.

- How many of my playlists, tracks, artists & albums from Spotify are […]

Many thanks to the authors of free, libre #opensource software!

Currently working on some non-academic research in which 'basic' tools like: ls, bash, cat, wc, time, uniq, sort & vim were very helpful in combination with lesser known tools like yq and parallel.

Do I know people using #qobuz? What are your experiences? Please share

With regards to:
- their mobile apps
- does it work with your car
- does it work with stuff like Denon/HEOS
- does it have all music teenagers want 😉
- does it have a policy around genAI music
- does it have podcasts
etc […]

Discontinued a few old vanity domains. Moving others to a provider not charging an arm & leg for simply providing a domain-name & dns.

Still quite some other stuff needs to be done as well, but it feels good to clean up this stuff, knowing it will save me time & money.

PS: If you discontinue […]

Highly recommended read the story 'The Colonization of Confidence' by Robert Kingett aka @WeirdWriter

His prose reminds me a bit of Robin Sloan. The story is about the impact of (gen)AI on the creativity & confidence of writers. I won't describe it further, because you really should read it […]

Been listening to Jim Kirkwood's 'The Apocalypse of a Soul'.

More than 10(!) hrs of Berlin School inspired electronic music. His work seems to be driven by self-developed magic realism & fantasy stories. It reminds me of video game soundtracks. Quite the ambience & it helps me focus.

If you […]
