I'm not arguing in the slightest that FLAC shows an audible difference in most cases for most tracks. However, it just makes sense as an archival format given it's lossless which means you can transcode to any other format without generational loss.

This means if there is a massive breakthrough in lossy compression in the future, I can use it for mobile purposes. If you store as lossy, you're stuck with whatever losses have been incurred, forever.

Could be useful for web articles and scientific papers too (if it could be configured to ignore reading out all of the boiler plate and citations).

(“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)

It's plausible that he does believe it given how dumb he is.

Kind of makes it worse almost. Trump isn't acting out of partisanship, but a desire to protect corrupt people like himself.

Nice to see, but it's pretty far behind the Windows version at the moment because the Vulkan renderer isn't as accurate and doesn't support upscaling.

And since vkd3d-proton started working with the emulator recently, that means the D3D12 renderer works using the Windows version, yielding much better compatibility and graphical quality.

No, it definitely works. It worked even on pulseaudio I believe, since it's exposed in pavucontrol.

And you can go even further and control the full routing graph with qpwgraph or Jack based tools.

Store the original library as FLAC, then transcode on-the-fly (or once if you don't want to use something like Navidrome or Jellyfin).

The main benefit to lossless is for archival purposes. I can transcode to any format (such as on mobile) without generational quality loss.

And it means if a better lossy format comes out in the future, I can use that without issue.

There are better lossy formats, like opus.

But MP3 still has its place as it's supported everywhere.

Yep, it's all bullshit. A simple translation:

• Fiscal conservatism / small government = cutting benefits for poor people and minorities
• States rights = allowing states to harm minorities through segregation and slavery. Only applies if the state level action harms poor people and minorities (then the federal government kicks in)
• Freedom of speech = conservatives can say whatever they want without consequences; minorities get cancelled or much worse.
• Keeping government out of the bedroom - conservatives can marry their child brides; the rest lose access to abortions and porn and eventually contraception and gay and interracial marriage.

The current opposition leader of the Australian Liberal (conservative) party made a big deal about bringing in South African (white) farmers when he was in the Home Affairs office of a previous government.

White South African dog-whistling seems to be a shared tactic internationally amongst conservatives, much like moving their embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

There's likely a firewall on the system that hosts the docker services, and docker's default bridge rules bypass it when publishing a port. And since the docker rules are prioritised, it can be quite difficult to override them in a reliable way. I personally wish that the default rules would just open a rule to the host, but there might be some complexity that I'm missing that makes that challenging.

I personally use host networking to avoid the whole mess, but be aware you'll have to change the internal ports for a bunch of services most likely, and that's not always well-documented. And using the container name as the host name won't work when referencing other containers, you'll have to use e.g. localhost:

<port number>

You can do the bind to localhost thing that others have mentioned, as long as the reverse proxy itself is inside the docker network (likely there are workarounds if not).

Unfortunately, adhering to traditionalism means inflating the ego yet further of dictators. I'd rather the whole thing went away altogether (that would have been a real statement if they'd just left the thing blank).

Also Australia.

Kind of fits as a general philosophy though. Exclude items based on some criteria, limiting the choices you have to make. This makes your life simpler, and your actions align with your beliefs.

It's the alpha version of the controller (or some mockup). The retail controller

Also, Valve has done driver work on plenty of things that they don’t use in their own hardware, from various AMD cards, Intel graphics, and even work on the open source Nvidia drivers

Valve developers are the main contributors to the RADV Vulkan driver so they've done work on pretty much every AMD card that supports Vulkan. So yeah, pretty silly rumour if that's the evidence.

She's the daughter of former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte, so my first impression is "shit apples" and all of that.

My desktop PC idles quite high as well. The semi high-end consumer motherboards on the AMD side tend to use a lot of power at idle, so I think that's a big part of it (at least the x570 series, can't speak for later). And as others have said, high refresh rate and multiple monitors can make things worse.

I'll add though that people's perception of how much power there system is using can be skewed by software based monitoring tools. People may think there system is using only 50W because that's what software reports but it's actually drawing a 100W at the wall.

It has never occured to me my whole life to not suspend

Reliability issues with suspend-to-ram are rather common. Shutting down is an option, but session save and restore is a relatively recent thing and not supported by all desktop environments. I.e. it's the post startup part that takes the longest.
