The solution to too many unnecessarily-connected devices is more connected devices?

They didn’t brick it, but the Nest thermostats that customers bought before Google acquired the company will be offline only now. No opening of the firmware, so they’ll become useless at some point, and already have lost major functionality.

It’s the robust and verifiable logging I can’t give up. It’s an addiction.

Yeah, FLAC. EAC has numerous checks to make sure the rip was flawless. I then either listen from my computer on speakers attached to a stereo, or I stream via Plex/Jellyfin. I have wired and wireless headphones and earbuds I use depending on what I’m doing when listening.

I already had lots of CDs before streaming was a thing, but still (more often than I’d expect) I come across albums that aren’t on any streaming platform.

I own a lot of CDs.

EAC is the only thing holding me back, and I don’t trust it on a VM since it does some deep hardware voodoo.

It’ll probably live on its own machine I only use for that purpose.

Thank you. I was wondering which you (and others) typically use.

Paid, self hosted, etc.?

Do you ever remote into this machine? What do you use for that?

Fediverse mods have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.

As part of the negotiations, mods at lemmy.world conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, “s” will be used instead of the soft “c”. Also, the hard “c” will be replased with “k”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers will need one less letter.

There will be growing kommunity enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replased by “f”. This will make words like “fotograf” 20 persent shorter.

In the third year, akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.

Mods will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “e”'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” by “v”.

During ze fifz year, ze unesesary “o” kan be droped from vords kontaining “o”, and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and employes vil find it ezi to kommunikat viz eash ozer.

Ov kors al supliers vil be expekted to us zis for all busines komunikation via DaimlerKhrysler.

Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
