This is about as likely as them buying NXP (who bought Freescale, which used to be Motorola PowerPC)

Looks like it’s too easy to delete. I click on the link and I get a not found exception

Welcome

Depends what you want to play it on. In my house we have:

3 laptops 2 tablets 2 mobile phones (1 android, 1 iPhone) TV

Not all these devices support local storage for music and it’s a pain to sync files between them. With Jellyfin the complete library is in one location with a consistent interface. It can also be made available remotely if I choose.

Not how it works- licensing will be through a third party agency

GitLab just doesn’t compare in my view:

To begin with, you have three different major versions to work with:

• Self-Hosted open source
• SAAS open source
• Enterprise SAAS

Each of which have different features available and limitations, but all sharing the same documentation- A recipe for confusion if ever I saw one. Some of what’s documented only applies to you the enterprise SAAS as used by GitLab themselves and not available to customers.

Whilst theoretically, it should be possible to have a gitlab pipeline equivalent to GitHub actions, invariably these seem to metastasize In production to use includes making them tens or hundreds of thousands of lines long. Yes, I’m speaking from production experience across multiple organisations. Things that you would think were obvious and straightforward, especially coming from GitHub actions, seen difficult or impossible, example:

I wanted to set up a GitHub action for a little Golang app: on push to any branch run tests and make a release build available, retaining artefacts for a week. On merging to main, make a release build available with artefacts retained indefinitely. Took me a couple of hours when I’d never done this before but all more or less as one would expect. I tried to do the equivalent in gitlab free SAAS and I gave up after a day and a half- testing and building was okay but it seems that you’re expected to use a third party artefact store. Yes, you could make the case that this is outside of remit, although given that the major competitor or alternative supports this, that seems a strange position. In any case though, you would expect it to be clearly documented, it isn’t or at least wasn’t 6 months ago.

It’s very mass market, not particularly well informed general news source and this is a specialist community where this is relevant to its specialist field

Zim desktop wiki? I’ve used it for years. Cross platform, open source, lots of features. Bear in mind that there are a lot of plugins, including one specifically for journaling

Coming from what looks to me like a different perspective to many of the commenters here (Disclosure I am a professional platform engineer):

If you are already scripting your setups then yes you should absolutely learn/use Ansible. The key reasons are that it is robust, explicit, and repeatable- doesn’t matter whether that’s the same host multiple times or multiple hosts. I have lost count of the number of pet Bash scripts I have encountered in various shops, many of them created by quite talented people. They all had problems. Some typical ones:

The thing about Ansible is that it can be modular (if you want) and you can use other people’s code but fundamentally it runs one step at a time. You will know for each step:

• Are dependencies met?
• Did that step succeed or fail (in realtime!)?
• (If it failed) what was the error?
• (Assuming you have written sane Ansible) you can re-run your playbook at any time to get the ‘same’ result. No worries about being left in an indeterminate state
• (To an extent) It is self-documenting
• Host architecture doesn’t really matter
• Target architecture/OS is specified and clear

Plus one for zim. No lock-in, cross platform, etc.

Is there some cache on your old phone from some previous ‘activate on this device’ required?

Are you able to provide an example as to how greater complexity makes it easier

Edit: Thanks for the explanations. I get that multiple languages use gendered nouns to mean something that is clearly not ‘gender’ in the biological sense but key to understanding context. Seems strange as an English speaker where noun gender is vestigial if it even exists at all and even then it doesn’t matter if someone gets it wrong

Thanks for explaining. I guess this would be comparable to e.g. Blu-ray key revocation. I suppose it’s possible but I’m not sure how likely it is considering the potential downsides, e.g. legal liability, for anyone doing this, compared to I’m not sure what upsides where there’s no profit to be found and all costs sunk

Oh no, I understood the watermarking concern. This sort of thing is famous with with Oscar screeners and electronic books. I was asking about OP’s suggestion that the font might be effectively withdrawn by a third party

Please excuse my lack of knowledge here. Am I under to understand from your post that software that you have purchased from another supplier will check from files that you have bought from this supplier and refuse to use them based on their attestation?

LOL, easier interface, sure, but:

HandBrake uses FFmpeg under the hood

Actually these days I would recommend using ChatGPT to get the ideal settings based on source medium and target quality/device

Look into ssh

Maybe time to look into load balancers, e.g. nginx
