I still rock XMMS almost every day. It simply does the job I want it to do and it’s so lightweight it might run on a toaster.

If you want something more modern, qmmp should be great.

Whow. This is both amazing and funny. It is also musically blunt and uninteresting, but still amazing.

You can look into inform6 and inform7 (totally different beasts, they are not older/newer versions of the same thing), TADS, or something like Quest perhaps. There should be more but these are the first that come to mind.

It’s called “education”. It takes a few decades to get some results though. Unfortunately nobody tried it yet.

Last time I checked, homebrew on Linux only included cli apps. GUI apps are only available on mac. So you couldn’t use it to install a browser anyway.

No, the original Pi B can play 1080p video just fine. The video is not decoded by the CPU. H264 and older codecs play just fine. It cannot handle h265 videos as it doesn’t have a hardware decoder for those. Kodi works just fine in fact. The interface is a little bit slow, but actual video playback is fine.

Not for me. Just updated 3 minutes ago.

Hey! I have a fat cat too!

I’ve been using namecheap for about a decade too. But, be careful with their free email forwarding service. They do not forward all emails. The ones that they consider spam, they proceed to drop silently. There is absolutely no way to access those emails. The service is essentially useless. I have lost several important emails like that.

FreeOTP+ from fdroid is what I’m using.

This is the way.

Example: I need to enable ntp client on a machine? Just enable and start the service and done!

You don’t need systemd for that. It has always been the case before systemd even existed.

I noticed it’s missing some Arduino examples, so I’ll look into adding some if you’d like.

This doesn’t exactly fit in your examples page, but here’s an one liner I used last night to notify me when the DNS changes I made to my domain have propagated:

while true; do ping -c 1 example.com | grep $IP && curl -d "DNS changes have propagated" https://ntfy.sh/mynotifications && break; sleep 1m; done

I have only discovered ntfy.sh a month ago and it’s absolutely amazing. Does exactly what it says, it’s amazingly easy to use. So far I’ve used it to get notifications from my Pi, a Jenkins server I’m running on a VM and to control a NodeMCU module at home. It’s absolutely awesome, thank you so much!

Been using duckduckgo for years. At least for the type of content I’m usually searching for, mostly tech related stuff, it seems to me that it has always had great results.

I’m mostly lurking at HN, but I do like it. I find the submissions interesting and most discussions are high quality. There are some subjects that are… let’s just say not HN-friendly and any discussion ends up in the same echo chamber. But overall a thumbs up from me.
