Is there a tool that will either
- let me run a script over files in a directory tree in parallel
- re-encode a directory tree of music files in parallel
while being robust about interruptions (don't have to restart if I interrupt it and run it again), etc.
I'd rather not write this even though it would be a good little exercise.
(I need to recompress my music collection, for my car's stereo, and it needs Very Particular metadata.)

We are receiving reports that Google flags our repo as "having dangerous apps" or being a "dangerous site" – texts being very vague, no proof given (nor did they inform us). They also link to a page they call "Transparency Report" – which is of the same vagueness, but definitely not transparent (transparencyreport.google.com/…)
We're not aware of any such dangerous content. All apps on our repo are properly scanned, see izzyondroid.org/about/security…

yeah and there are still some bugs lurking from many many years ago that are only resolved with a VNET jail, IIRC. I reported this one in 2012 lol
Recently, for Digital Wellbeing we merged notification improvements. Other feature work that will allow parents to better set their kids screen time by not allowing kids to unlock the screen and allow parents to extend screen time as needed is under review.
Digital Wellbeing helps parents encourage safe and healthy habits for their kids. These are features that are funded by the GNOME Foundation. #DigitalWellbeing #FriendsofGNOME

You can read here how to migrate to a new relay: support.delta.chat/t/how-to-mi…
How chatcontrol will be implemented and what to do against is is hard to predict without a concrete proposal, so let's see.
Let’s say you have initially created a profile on the default relay and want to migrate away from it. Update at least to 2.33 on all your devices: Help testing upcoming Delta Chat 2.33.Delta Chat

I cannot say this authoritatively, but I inquired about the scope of the gpg.fail vulnerabilities that affect GnuPG (and at least one also affecting Sequioa, a Rust PGP implementation) to see if any of these things are a concern for DeltaChat and the response was that they are all out of scope for how DeltaChat uses PGP.
also DeltaChat uses rpgp, not GnuPG or Sequioa, and rpgp has been audited a couple times.

If I put dishes in the dishwasher and unload it when it's done, I'm not "doing the dishes".
But when you do the same with the laundry using the washer and dryer you're "doing the laundry"

Menschen:

- "Für Menschen mit Sozialphobie geht das nicht."

in reply to Ben Zanin • • •@gnomon I'll need mp3 and was thinking of batching all tracks in an album, which kinda matches my laptop's number of cores.
I need to experiment a bit with the stereo first; it doesn't pick up the track number field, so if it just sorts an album's tracks in alphabetical order I'll need to tell ffmpeg or whatever to output track numbers as part of the track name.
(everything is in flac; I need mp3 smaller than the bitrate I used initially, or music won't fit in an USB stick)
