What method/software did you use for the ear training?

An app (functional ear trainging) and then mostly trying to replay melodays of songs on my guitar

Lack of IPv6 is especially disappointing. Means you'll need IPv4 connectivity for your CI servers and other such infrastructure. :(

Meanwhile there's unfortunately still plenty of maintainers refusing to use version control systems...


Does anybody know of a feasible alternative to Google Timeline?


Half of the solution at least on Android is https://gpslogger.app. Then you need to find a way to render the data to a map, such as with https://dawarich.app. Looks like the last time I looked at that project (and wasn't quite sold on it) was 1.5 years ago, so time for a second look.


I have set up Owntracks with a self-hosted server, and the android app reports my location to it periodically over MQTT. I would prefer to use https://dawarich.app/ but last time I tried it it was clearly very beta-quality and not ready for reliable usage.


Hi, what were the issues you have encountered in Dawarich? Any feedback appreciated!


I tried it for family location sharing a few months back and, I don't remember exactly, but I remember the UI/UX feeling a bit slow/clunky in general, eventhough setting things up was user-friendly. Definitely potential there, though.


Access to the private video doesn't sound necessary. The AI seemingly runs in a context where it sees the private videos so comments on public videos can instruct it to generate links containing such info.


> I know Clang struggled to ship improved sorts for their C++ implementation

Clang has no built-in sorting algorithms. I imagine you're referring to the LLVM project's libc++? Though all common distributions of LLVM default to GCC's libstdc++.


macos is not common?


Fair enough, I'm not from the US. Globally they're at a roughly 10% market share and where I'm from closer to just 5%. It's a rarity to see any here and I've never gotten to try macOS outside a shop.


10% (and even 5%) is still significant.


Gnome has a "Always on Top" toggle for each window. I imagine there's a protocol for an application to set it by default but the OP's window manager might not implement it or there might be an incompatibility.


Gnome has the same problem, that's why this exists: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4691/pip-on-top/


But users do not want to have to toggle that for every PiP video they watch. Its why I am still on X11


I can't speak for Gnome, but KDE makes it pretty easy to create rules that apply automatically to any new window that meets whatever arbitrary criteria you set.


That's terrible. That's an "unbreak my software" preference. User's shouldn't have to mess with that; things should just work in ways they expect, out of the box.


I disagree. With how KDE handles this, I'm not at the mercy of the software vendor's whims on what windows stay on top and which ones don't. I have complete control through a standardized interface that can even be automated if I wish.

Does it require a little more knowledge on the part of the user? Yes, but it's worth it because with that knowledge comes power.


Plasma/KDE always had it.


Did you report it and did it ever get fixed?


Worth noting is that in Debian experimental coreutils defaults to coreutils-from-uutils [0]. This came as a big surprise and as far as I can tell there's been no discussion. A Canonical developer seems to have unilaterally overwritten the coreutils package without discussing with the maintainer. All the package renames that are in Ubuntu aren't in Debian so you can't switch to GNU utils either without deep trickery in a separate recovery environment.

I'm used to running experimental software but I wasn't ready for my computer to not boot one day because of uutils. The `-Z` flag for `cp` wasn't implemented in the 9 month old version shipped in Debian at that time so initramfs creation failed...

that... seems newsworthy on its own merit.


It's in experimental only, not unstable or testing. That said I'm surprised it hasn't even propmpted discussion on debian-devel (sans [0]). I would've thought that at least enough Debian developers run experimental to have noticed and raise the issue, but no. I thought about starting a thread myself but couldn't be bothered.

Considering how Ubuntu seems to influence Debian development, this is only slightly surprising.

While I understand that by making the quiz app the author had learned everything and had no use afterwards, it's unfortunate to see it not published. My friend is learning Latvian and it would be perfect for her!
