I suggest renaming it the Gulf of How Does This Help Grocery Prices Again?

If it wasn’t on your phone, I would point to yt-dlp: simply type yt-dlp -F <Youtube URL> to list the available formats, then yt-dsp -f <format ID> <Youtube URL> to download the audio in the format of your choice:

E.g.:

security updates are for cowards, amirite? 😂

The server isn’t exposed to the internet. It’s a local IMAP server.

That was my family’s email server 5 months ago:

So roughly 2500 days today 🙂

Isn’t it the same as tuning?

Although it’s unclear what tuning is because it depends on who says it:

• It does mean doing modifications to a vehicle for actual performance improvements
• It’s used extensively by ricers to describe themselves and their hobby and they think it’s a positive term
• It’s used extensively by people who dislike ricing and most definitely as a derogatory term

Yet for all its faults, I believe that’s the closest word to ricing you’ll find that is universally understood, neutral and isn’t rendered hopelessly bland and meaningless by the process of political correctness newspeak.

A lot of those BT adapters are cheap shit. Like the aforementioned RTL8821CE: it’s a nasty hack to do wifi and BT using a single 2.4 GHz transponder. But here’s the thing: however bad they are, they’re made to work well in Windows - possibly with a lot of awful engineering shortcuts and hackery, but in the end, Windows users will never know and that’s the point.

When open-source developers try to make equivalent Linux drivers without documentation or help from the manufacturer, reverse-engineering their way around the general crappiness of the products, you get… well, not very good drivers. And it really is nobody’s fault but the unhelpful adapter’s manufacturer.

So there is that, and the general bugginess on BlueZ on top of it.

My experience with Bluetooth support in Linux is: you’re either using one of the very few problem-free BT controllers and it works okay most of the time, or you have more or less problems all of the time.

The least problematic controllers I own are ASUS USB-BT500. The most problematic are ASUS USB-BT400 and Realtek RTL8821CE.

The state of Bluetooth in Linux is completely terrible, it has been for many, many years and it’s hardly getting any better. Bluez, like Pulseaudio, needs to die, and sooner rather than later.

Sure why not.

But there’s notthing spectacular or out of the ordinary here: it’s just a boring-ass, bog-standard i3 installation. What I spent time configuring isn’t visible - stuff like keyboard bindings, how it starts, how it handles multiple monitors… things like that.

Aah yes, appimage, flatpak, snaps, progressive web apps, electron apps… The cross-compatibility of the lazy 21st century developer, where a simple IRC-like chat client comes with an entire operating system or an entire browser (which itself is an entire operating system too nowadays), takes up half a gig of disk space, and starts up in over 10 seconds with a multi-gigahertz multicore CPU.

Just perfect…
