  • Headaches with signal propagation when piping in a Docker container

    Jump

  • But I don't actually know what the new behavior is. I think it is that it never receives a termination signal, and is then just killed instead, and if that is the case, how can I modify it do catch that?

    What I intend to do tomorrow is to rewrite all the output (which I had hoped to avoid having to do for this) to write directly to a log file instead of trying to capture the print statements for this initially "only-meant-for-me" piece of code. That way I won't have to do anything but run the Python script and it should receive the termination signal as intended. But as I said, I would still like to understand what is going on.

  • How do you manage private phones with work necessities?

    Jump

  • I am actually used to the company buying you a phone that you use as a personal device, but must then be enrolled in Intune or something similar. It is considered a perk of the job, and a taxable one at that. So the saving is not as obvious in this case.

  • How do you manage private phones with work necessities?

    Jump

  • Yeah, as far as I am concerned, there's a direct conflict of interest between myself and my company when it comes the usage of a device that doubles as a personal and professional device. I understand the company's need to take measures to control sensitive information, and when I do whatever I do on my spare time, I am unnecessarily (from the point of view of the company) endangering the information I have access to. And because of the safe-guards they put in place, they are taking an unacceptable amount of control of a device I keep my personal sensitive data.

    Because of this I find it a bit baffling that BYOD ever became accepted practice, both from the employer's side and the employee's side.

  • I have a separate, company-issued phone that is used exclusively for work related activities and that is not even connected to my home network.

  • This looks really cool! Thanks for the share

  • I was recently introduced to this and I am very glad I found it. I was once recommended it, but then I thought they meant to attach a physical screen to my headless server....

  • Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

    Jump

  • I use this for archiving news and magazine articles as well (with snapshots), sorted on topic so that I 1) might be able to remember where I read something and easily find an article again if I discuss it with someone and 2) have a good starting point for researching something I don't have time for or the will for now.

    I have set up the file sync on a self-hosted WebDAV server as well as it quickly racks up storage space with all those snapshots and you fairly quickly reach the top tier storage plan they offer.

    Zotero 7 brought some good UI improvements, but it is really resource heavy (at least on Linux). A CLI-interface as was mentioned under here would be interesting.

  • You should be able to achieve that with scrcpy (at least with Android). Never got around to test it myself, so I can't vouch for how well it works though. My usecase for it died with installing a mini-PC in my living room, and now it would only be a curiosity for me.

  • Online Piracy Almost Died. Now It's More Popular Than Ever. - YouTube

    Jump

  • While most of my library is pirated, I make it a point to buy directly from the artists whenever possible - whether that’s digital downloads, vinyl, or merch, direct support goes much further than streaming services ever will.

    You might already do this, but I'd suggest to further prioritize buying from up and coming and independent artists. You don't need to support whatever random person/corporation owns the rights to the discography of a dead musician unless you have a compelling reason to so, and you don't have to deepen the pockets of already loaded superartists/bands. Is there a Bandcamp Friday coming up, then you can wait until then to make sure a larger chunk of your money goes directly to those who made the music.

  • Oh boy, I can see I really need to get my dashboard game together.

  • how are my fellow peeps hosting your music collection these days?

    Jump

  • Hosted on Jellyfin, Feishin on laptop and Finamp on mobile.

  • The Terminal Question

    Jump

  • I am perfectly happy with Konsole, and sleep well despite perhaps missing out on features I don't know about.

  • Are you talking about baloo, the file indexer?

  • Better music management

    Jump

  • I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.

    ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn't want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.

  • Has libremdb been blocked by amazon?

    Jump

  • Ah no, it's not - I have been fooled by this community-driven approach. They are in a position to enshittify, so this might not be a good long-term solution.

  • I was actually unaware that IMDb is owned by Amazon. I will redouble my efforts to use TMDB instead.

  • They can't really say no to a free app

    A co-worker was told (verbatim) by the head of IT that " we don't use open source". So yeah...

  • What helps people get comfortable on the command line?

    Jump

  • tl;dr: Gradual exposure over time.

    I got used to it through work, as I had to ssh into a server to run simulations. That mainly involved navigating the file system and text editing (which I used vim for) to make some basic Python and bash scripts, including sed and awk. The latter two I never got comfortable using, and haven't really touched since.

    I was using macOS at the time, and after using that for work, the terminal in macOS got at first less scary and then a preferred way of accomplishing certain tasks. On my work Windows computer I started missing having a proper terminal around, and I eventually found Cygwin and later Git Bash to give me that terminal fix in Windows as well. Especially with the latter I noticed few differences and could use it to a large extent as I would have on my then Macbook.

    2-3 years ago I was in need of a new computer, and at that point a laptop with Linux on it was not a very scary prospect. That is by no way saying I went into Linux as an expert, far from it, and I am still very much a newbie - but opening the terminal to work with things is not at all a barrier, which helps a lot if you use Linux and want to be able to do some changes from the defaults. If you don't want that, I think you can go far these days without opening the terminal, but it is certainly a good skill to have.
