Linux Desktop Migration Tool 1.5

After almost a year I made another release of the Linux Desktop Migration Tool. In this release I focused on the network settings migration, specifically NetworkManager because it’s what virtually all desktop distributions use.

I hacked the first implementation of that feature in the UWP XAML framework in the 2017 Hackathon, less than a month after I started at MS. Diving into unfamiliar code like that and getting a proof of concept done was fun. I don't think any of my code from that hack made it into production though, and I don't remember how long it took for a production version of that feature to actually be released.

So I'm working on this hybrid audiobook/ebook setup. The page scrolls to follow the audio, keeping the section being read roughly in the middle of the page. Continuous scroll made me queasy, so instead it scrolls every few seconds.

I made a custom chapter selector rather than a dropdown box, because I'm an eejit prone to reinventing the wheel, when the wheel isn't aesthetically pleasing to me. Do you think it works? Or should I go trad on this part of the UI?

I'm really sorry, please take no offense, but it seems you're inventing the wheel. Have you ever considered DAISY? It's a format especially designed for this purpose, have text or/and audio at the same time, with as fine-grained navigation as you wish. daisy.org/

I take no offense 😄 I set myself projects because I want to do them. It really doesn't matter if they have been done before.

One time I dived into a difficult problem and invented a technique that ended up getting taught in ARM processor classes for the next twenty years, but now I'm retired, I just do things to keep my mind active.

I do appreciate the link!

We're absolutely thrilled to announce a new era of high-speed syncing for the open source ecosystem!

DAVx⁵ 4.5 will ship with full Push support (instant sync) for your Contacts, Events & Tasks!

We've worked on this for almost 3yrs from the first line of writing a draft for a (hopefully new) standard, to the work on a @nextcloud extension until the final DAVx5 implementation.

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

Using Gemini to write me a script to fix a Python error I was encountering took me about an hour. Writing the script myself would have taken me about an hour (I have to look up the syntax for tar and invoke-url and friends every single time). However, as a lazy programmer, Gemini's code is actually better. I wouldn't have bothered with any error checking, and I would have hard coded all the paths I needed. So I guess in this case, AI wins. The entirely #AI generated script, if you're curious: share.interfree.ca/app/open/5WidkTfzuPp-EsRM6XcBvpG-UWbmvCrW28H-tmjf28qCYjH?view=1

Purism Featured in Fortune- Secure Linux Phone Made in the USA- No Surveillance, Data Mining, Targeted Ads, and No Clicking on "I Agree"

Big Tech claims U.S. smartphone manufacturing is “impossible” or “too expensive,” Purism CEO Todd Weaver is proving otherwise.

In a recent Fortune feature, Weaver shares how Purism’s Liberty Phone—built near San Diego with U.S.-made electronics—delivers security, privacy, and sovereignty without relying on any foreign supply chain.

Monday.
A weekend of medical mayhem as my daughter manages to slice her eye open with the tiny, pointy shaft of a bicycle pump, my mother-in-law ends up in crippling pain whenever she eats, and the wife continues to balloon as baby grows.

It's not been relaxing, by any stretch, although we did have a delightful couple of hours in Worcester at the baloon festival on Friday, where a gentlemen blew himself up in a coffin as a crowd pleaser.

I hope she getts better very soonish,
kindely send her my wishes for her to get better soon,
a virus, is that a genneral virus or something in the eye it's self?
as for my eyes, left has high pressure compared to the write one, you can tell, if you put a finger on the left eye it's alot harder than the write eye ball.
the left eyeball has less give compared to the write.
how bad was the cut?
I am hopeing not that bad?

good call with the eyedropps,
they should also keep that eye loobricated.
pardon my spelling sir.
considdering my eye situation and wateing at the nhs for 7 hours 5 or 6 months ago, I feel your pain.
my situation was a really red left eye it was due to having a really hot shouer eyes and heat don't go well that much, they prescribed me some eye drops antibeotic ones along with some eye dropps that would loob the eye it is the left eye that has higher air pressure than the write, this may be inhibiting correct tear ducting.
hence the dropps.
odd if i don't sleep for a night the pressure in the left eye is greatly diminished which kinda helps but does not at the same time.
i'm not sure where you are based but nhs wateing times really suck it's most likely gotten worse since my last visit.
I hope your daughter getts better soon.
one question is your daughter a little one?
if yes then waiting at the hospital must have been hell a?
curious.

#AudioMo Day 23: I've been thinking about this for a few days, and finally got around to making it happen.
I decided I would take an electromagnetic pickup, plug it into my recorder and capture the sound of my electric toothbrush directly.
I take that sound into an audio editor, top and tail it, add that to Ableton Move as a sample, then turn it into a melodic instrument.
This is the result of that.
It's not long, but it's an idea of sorts.
