LMAO at thinking Apple doesn't spy on you

Even OpenAI can't do that lol

Not OK with his behaviour, definitely OK with Apple coughing up 100 million quid for the bloke and his wife

Becoming better at technology is the gateway to fucking with copyright. As if they're going to be able to do shit when I torrent their files over some obscure server in the developing world to over here. Fuck copyright and companies who engage in that. Every game, all kinds of media and intellectual property that these companies own should be stolen from them and distributed freely. This should then be followed by severe cyber attacks on said companies to destroy their infrastructure to the extent that they can never hold creations of artists for themselves. Fuck corporate enslavement of artists and creators. I'd much rather pay $200 a month to be distributed directly to artists than pay a single cent for a game/album provided by Microsoft/Spotify (as an example). Now, some companies are better than others. GOG until recently was something I liked (conceptually anyway, since I don't play games), and Qobuz and Tidal pay their artists better than most. I am OK with these companies. The likes of Amazon and Spotify and Microsoft should be destroyed so badly that they can no longer function in this space. We should spread the word of piracy and digital freedom away from these bastards.

I agree with you, being a system admin, systemd has mostly just worked. It tries to be funny sometimes, but because I work on a server I don't usually deal with some things that a user might have to work with.

Another person mentioned a continued usage of SysVInit on Debian: I'm going to try it myself. See how I like it. If it works for me then I'll drop SystemD completely and even then I get to stick with Debian!

Maybe I should take a stab at it, I knew it was maintained in some capacity but I thought most of userland would break without Systemd

I wish Debian looks towards an alternative init

You're right, except the problem was that I was on an old version of Podman (Debian problems lol) where Quadlet wasn't even available

And I completely forgot to say: wait till you listen to TOTL headphones. I once listened to the HE1000v2 pair, and except for the bright tuning, bloody hell they make you feel like you're part of the sound. It's a tear-inducing feeling, especially if you've never done TOTLs before.

LCDs are also up there, the new LCD-X really hit my warmish-preferences well. I liked that pair. Maybe someday eh?

I will mention that even though I haven't bought the IEMs I mentioned, I have tried them. And every one of them blew me away, bar the ones which are a bit "softer" like the M9/U12t (which I think are better buys for the long-term unless someone has a lot to spend). Also, the M9 is exceptionally comfortable for me

EE Odin was notable alongside the Anole VX as very resolving and fabulously textured. These might be the best TOTLs I have tried. If you have a budget of around $500 I'd suggest looking at the Mega5EST, DMS has a review of it on the Heaphone Show and from the FR it's an insanely balanced set.

No worries, and I'm not all that you think lol. I really just got lucky with knowing what I want, and my wallet forcing my hand.

Edit: I didn't know there were shipping issues with the Chinese brands. AFAIK Hifigo/Linsoul/Aliexpress will ship anywhere really

I once thought of purchasing the big boys (for me, in a relative sense) like the Softears RSV, the IER-M9, the Anole VX and perhaps even the U18T.

Then, I reasoned with myself, and thought I'd settle for less. I began aiming for the DUNU SA6 MK2 (I somewhat treble sensitive and the MK2's graph looked even better to me). Maybe the Oracle OG as a reference set.

Now, I've become cheap. I no longer desire for such luxuries, even though it'd be amazing to have them. I now look at the Audiosense DT600 as my preferred target and IEM, and an apple dongle for my laptop and phone.

I do sometimes wonder about the whatifs...the thing is, amidst all of the thinking I did, I didn't actually buy anything. I'm waiting to be blown away by my endless collection of FLAC when I do get the IEMs I want.

Great collection BTW, but like every other guy on Crinacle's livestream: try not to stay trapped in mid-fi hell. CA Andromedas are cool though. Ever thought of the IER-M9/U12t for a relaxing signature?

Damn, maybe I'll finally watch a lord of the rings film

Same

I suppose you're worried about embedded spyware?

They have more features though, like extra Ethernet, PCIe brackets and M2 slots on the board

Do more linux

Being able to speak Gaeilge and French would be very cool.

I'd learn Mandarin if I had the time

Yeah that's probably true

Yeah anything which implements "S3" like Minio or some other cloud provider will work just fine.

Running FOSS and taking control of your network will do a far better trick of privacy vs convenience than most people can imagine
