What's a Chinese firewall?

The beta installer was completely unsuccessful in setting the TPM-backed disk encryption on both a ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Intel 258V) and a ThinkPad P14s (AMD 300-something). Hopefull…

that's how it works. point a free-to-air dish at the right place in the sky, demodulate the DVB-S2 signal, and it's often IP traffic moving through mpeg transport streams.

Tossing in a suggestion for Vallum[0] here. It's not FOSS but very polished and a fraction of the cost of Little Snitch. [0]: https://vallumfirewall.com/

I've had two SSDs "die" over the years, both of them went read-only, but I was able to recover all data. SSD failure modes are weird.

Too Many Records is awesome -- just installed it and I think this will help me in selecting records for my weekly vinyl gig. Great work.

Seafile is fantastic and I'm surprised I don't see more discussion about it around here. I've been running it on a VPS with MinIO as my object storage for about two years now, ~4TB…

While the mixing process is certainly a frustrating one, it’s also the part I’m most addicted to. I mix something almost every day, whether it’s my own work or other multitracks “a…

I'm interested in knowing more, but after a few minutes of searching, I can't seem to find a modern macOS implementation of the reference Fraunhofer codec. All my tools (Audition, …

This might be interesting for those of us supporting legacy hardware in our environments.

I can answer about the audio. YouTube (and most other streaming sites like Spotify etc) use something called ReplayGain. It's essentially a tag that specifies the calculated averag…
