Maybe for most personal users, but in B2B (where the money is) …

Why is it just exposed like that. That seems needlessly dangerous.

I have an HDD at my parents place and manually bring over snapshots when I visit. Off site does not necessarily mean cloud.

Looks gorgeous. I love the colours!

It seems like the choice was not made out of mallice, but legal obligations (reply stolen from reddit):

2026-09-21 - Update by Qobuz support: Hello, thank you for your message.

Following the recent changes made to the QBZ repository, we’d like to provide some clarifications regarding this decision.

QBZ was an independent application developed by a third party and was not developed, maintained or distributed by Qobuz. We know that QBZ was a really convenient solution for our Linux users.

However, we have strict legal and contractual obligations toward rights holders to ensure fair artist compensation. Unfortunately, the app placed Qobuz in a non-compliant position, which left us no choice but to ask the developer to stop its distribution.

The use of the unoffical app unfortunately leads to streams not being counted with us and thus the artists end up empty-handed.

We completely understand that this situation is frustrating for the Linux community. This was a difficult decision, but it’s necessary to protect both artists and our platform.

We are actively working on releasing an official Linux application as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding in the meantime.

Kind regards,

Marina

Qobuz

I agree with the comments here, that this could have been handled better, providing an open API that ensures streams are counted, taking over or building on qbz to release their own client, etc. But I think this is not an issue with Qobuz, but moreso with the music industry.

Anyhow, I guess I’ll get a seedbox subscription instead now :/.

If you are using aptitude (apt) it is quite simple: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/how-to/software/automatic-updates/

If you just want security updates and are fine with the default configs:

# apt install unattended-upgrades

Are the parties young people have nowadays just less wild because everyone has cameras?

I believe so.

Is this why Gen Z thinks hedonism is cringe?

I think part of it might be the (reasonable) fear of being caught and it haunting you forever increasing overthinking. But I think the main reason is excessive access to everything online desensitizing and removing the enicing part of exploring ‘taboo’ stuff. Under that aspect I think, the internet as we have it today has also just reduced curiocity overall.

I think a more significant part though is that sex, drugs and the like are just not that taboo anymore. You are not hooking up as an act of rebelion against your parents if your parents lived hookup culture and are open about it.

And a lot of us are just more lonely/less social which loops back to the original post I guess.

Somehow it was still less bad:

Each black guy you see in this catalog was, in fact, photographed at one point.

Eh, for a toaster it at least makes some sense to have ‘smarts’ for ensuring various types of bread reach the desired crispynes (Lathough none of that needs internet or anything close to 400$ in value). So it would still be more usefull then smart fridge.

Just for the moment

Can I buy an account on a device that has no Play Services?

Not yet. We have plans to add more payment methods, but currently only offer Play Store in-app payments, which requires Play Services.

You can test that on this site:

I did not know homeassistant could et alarms, that’s so cool!

I feel you, I wanted to buy a B50 for my homelab and was waiting for prices to drop, but …

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. You are right, Syncthing does not support local sync.

Only diet pepsi

3 days later: damm, I should have done X by yesterday, but also F needs to be done every two days, and I have not done that in a week, so maybe I should start there. But that would be so much better if Y was done already. Maybe I’ll just do a tiny bit of H (which is not urgent at all) and call it a day (it is 2 am).
