Modern electronic music is the spiritual successor to classical music (and modern-day “classical” compositions are just rehashes).

poVoq, 3 days ago

Mostly because electronic music is made by a single composer and that the performance by the musicians itself is not as central to the composition.

And that Mozart would be probably making electronic music if he was born in this era.

The composers are usually not the musicians though when it comes to classical music, especially since most of the composers are already dead 🤪

But just imagine a Beatles cover band becoming more famous than the Beatles themselves. Something like is common when it comes to orchestras that play classical music though.

Sure, there is some personality cult around famous conductors and so on, but that is really more comparable to DJs that remix but do not compose their own electronic music.

Impossible to say without providing more details. But somewhere between 10€ and 200€ a month depending on your setup and how you calculate in hardware costs.

Well, I am paying less, but if you realistically calculate the costs of hardware over its lifetime, this is certainly not unrealistic for many homelabs.

You can do something similar, but much easier with btrfs and btrbk.

Of course ZFS is even more advanced than btrfs, but unless you are doing professional datacenter level stuff btrfs will likely be sufficient.

It’s relatively popular in DACH countries.

I use it sometimes. It has its fair share of issues, and the back end is not open-source, but it is OK for the most part. Main benefit is that you don’t need a mobile number to sign up.

But if you are looking for an alternative IM to use with friends and family, I would rather suggest XMPP, specifically Snikket.

Maybe not enough bandwidth? 😅

We just had a very similar topic here: slrpnk.net/post/9408197

But if you are especially interested in gardening: I am currently thinking about how to DIY a simple automated irrigation system for the tomatoes and pepper plants in my little greenhouse so that I can do a camping trip later this summer without them dying.

I use Arch btw. 😅 (well, actually I don’t any more, but this had to be here)

As it seems to double as a balcony solar inverter if you add some PV pannels the price seems to be not so bad. A 2KWh LiPO4 battery, charge-controller and inverter alone will cost you at least half of the asking price.

It works nicely, but for some weird reason spammers really like it, so never open registrations on it.

Is it possible to set the old navigation style as the default via an ENV parameter?

My first impression is that it doesn’t work very well on desktop. Maybe on mobile it is better, but there are many other mobile apps for Lemmy…

Maybe there could be an option to only enable it on small screens?

Can you please document how (via ENV) in the readme? Thanks!

Thanks, will try that now 👍

Gogs started it originally, but was forked into Gitea years ago and hasn’t seen much development since.

Forgejo is a newer fork of Gitea after the IP rights to Gitea were (secretly) transferred to a for-profit company and some of the developers started to turn the project into a commercial open-core one.

Not yet, but they are the ones actively working on it, so it will likely arrive there first. Still a few months out though.

I recently looked this up again and it looks like the person who started the federation work in Gitlab got a new job and isn’t really working on it any more. So sadly this seems to be on hold as Gitlab the company is not themselves investing staff-hours into federation.

Maybe once the US sees significant number of climate IDPs, they will get a bit more empethatic to other climate migrants, but sadly the opposite will probably happen.

Step one was completed, but the main OS upgrade I will probably do this evening instead.

Edit: All complete now, but I found another issue that will need another downtime in the coming weeks. Nothing major though.

You get focus time?

They need to give you some time to answer emails from management 🙄
