Local ones with eyes and brains do hit my very dirty window sometimes. Natural selection I suppose.

But I enjoy fucking around with Linux

I try, I do often use rdp on work computer (windows 11) to access private computer pc (Linux)

LinOffice looks promising, thanks!

Me too!

Plenty of memory, CPU I think is still pretty good.

No never heard of before, but everyone here is suggesting it so I will check that out. Thanks

What I’ve heard is it’s mainly very single core CPU heavy, GPU not very relevant. Thanks I’m going to look into Winboat for sure, being suggested a lot here

I will look into Winboat, thanks

Bingo on the used as database ;) It’s very hard to move them away from that, I have insufficient impact on that

No, I need to work in excel so much it wouldn’t make much difference

No web version doesn’t cut it. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that Winboat

The wind generated energy is super cheap, but maintaining balance on the network becomes more expensive. You pay for energy and network.

For processed foods it is a scam I think. Combined with subsidies and lower scale production. A veggie burger is objectively a lot cheaper to produce than a meat burger, but the meat is often cheaper still for the consumer…

I think the grip is tighter on social media then it was ever before on any other media…

Old events are not frozen. There are these things called historians and archeologists who are, to this very day believe it or not, still researching “old” events and updating the facts as they find new sources or correct old ones.

Pi works fine for trying and if you only want to stream 1 thing at a time in 720p. Just try it.

If it somewhat works but you find it slow, buy an old SFF office computer < 50 € and experiment further… Either pay close attention which integrated GPU it has or buy a cheap PCI videocard with it.

Musicbrainz Picard, there is no better user friendly solution.

Yes, it can seem like a lot of work, but you can also look at the flip side: you can learn a whole lot about the music you like in the process.

If music metadata is missing for stuff you have and like, add it to musicbrainz yourself. No, it isn’t particularly fun, but someone has to do it. I do it sometimes for more “local” albums of which I own the physical record or CD.

If shit is really messed up and you have a historic collection of mp3s from back in the days when getting a full album took a long time: don’t be scared to throw stuff out and source it again. It’ll likely be much higher quality for same or smaller filesize and have better metadata from source already, which makes using musicbrainz a lot easier. And what took many hours back then takes seconds to minutes now.

The only thing I’m looking/waiting for is a jellyfin audio player that automatically goes to full screen visualisation or lyrics after a determined amount of seconds of music playing + no user inputs… Wish I could do it myself and contribute to the project, but alas.

How cool would it be to out of nowhere see Valve come out with a SteamPhone based on Arch which does everything you ever hoped for and runs on high quality hardware including all the features that others took away (colour alert pixel, 3,5mm jack, replaceable battery), complete with dual boot or a containerised Android-mode for running apps that would never work like banking or eID. Would buy instantly.

Those are heavy LED bulbs you got there at 12W or more. Typically LED bulb is only like 3 - 5 W??
