and i am fully in to groove salad classic. A fine soundtrack to get your geek on!

Since pretty much the beginning (still post millenia) I’ve been trying to get somafm to rip via the terminal in Debian.

turns out, it was the user agent string, which you can append with the -u flag:

e.g. streamripper https://somafm.com/gsclassic.pls -u mozilla

and it got it, finally I can check that one off the bucket list. Like I said, pretty much sine the turn of the century.

NOTE: streamripping may be illegal where you are, and since IANAL: use at your own risk.

I got my s7 tab back!

is ruining everything, and is really dumb.

I don’t know why, I’ve had debian installed previously, Even Gentoo. But debian is much more stable and supported by the community, so until I rename it:

This will be my workhorse until I can replace it. Not a web server though. That remains the relm of my i5!

the new stuff (AKA ubuntu). I’m sticking with the OG distro, debian, as ubuntu has failed me again.

or is it the second distro? as I believe slackware is older?

Yeah, google solved that Q: “Yes, Slackware is considered older than Debian, being widely recognized as the oldest still-maintained Linux distribution, with its development starting earlier than Debian’s; both were initiated around 1993, but Slackware is generally considered slightly older. “

And I adopted linux around the millenia. So it only took me about 7 years to adopt linux.

I don’t blame you for ditching x/Twitter. I made that choice previously.

thing Ive noticed since trump assumed the office.

The influence of the tech bros is noticable.

The ads. Especially on ‘social’ media sites. Yes, I’m looking at you you tube.

For shame.

Shame on you you tube. We certainly need a second player to enter the game.

And it won’t even get into the Schwanzlutscher that is the zuck.

for my old downstairs computer. The old Athlon II is not keeping up. It is constantly pegged at 100%, both cores. So I’m looking into obtaining a 6 core phenom II processor for it. Here’s to hoping it’ll be a drop in replacement. Maybe after the holidays? I’d have to turn to ebay for it. The default 2 cores of Athlon II is not cutting it anymore.

Or perhaps I need to retire that machine?

So I finally took the time to resurrect the old workstation. It is running Debian 12. Yes, I have contentment now that that machine has nearly finished it’s renewed setup. Ya know it was my main workstation before the attack. Now for the customization.
