Missing last tracks on two CDs, bad metadata, no album art: the full authentic classic CD ripping experience

Dunno if sesse is on the Fediverse, but his recent blog post about bcachefs was interesting to me

How quaint! I got a CD! Now I'm ripping it. And the last track won't rip.

Shortlisting FOSDEM talks. Any recommendations?

A bit sad, this ended up being my first MMU print on the Bambu P1S. I had to get a friend to actually print it as I still haven't got either Bambu or Orca slicer to work reliably (LAN mode, no SSDP packets for autodiscovery can be used). #3dprinting

Are you fucking kidding me?

Jack Dorsey is a main track speaker at FOSDEM this year:

🤮

I am at a loss of words. I also owe sincere apologies to everyone flagging issues with FOSDEM over the years, whose concerns I often somewhat minimized. I am sorry, you were all right and I was wrong.

FOSDEM is now explicitly platforming AI/blockchain bro fascists. 🤬

👉 Edit: Drew DeVault is organizing a sit-in, and explains why: https://drewdevault.com/2025/01/16/2025-01-16-No-Billionares-at-FOSDEM-please.html

I wonder if the Bambu P1S will get an alt firmware like x1plus #3dprinting

I’m not happy about this. It will make our shared office P1P hard to use. Regretting buying a Bambu now https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom/113844161109252704 #3dprinting

@nobodyinperson a long time ago I used offlineimap, I don’t know if that’s advisable anymore. I started using mbsync recently (to use notmuch for searching) and I’ve already been frustrated by it. Seems to keel over if I delete a mailbox.

@nobodyinperson and iirc the hostname in the file name is a consequence of using the message-Id header, which is more likely to be unique than the subject, and also to use more predictable set of (safe) characters

@nobodyinperson you’re already using mbsync. For all its drawbacks I don’t know of a better tool for what it does. Maildir’s design may seem odd but there are very good reasons for each facet. Possibly they aren’t of concern for your use-case (the three sub dir thing is for concurrent, lock-free writers relying only on POSIX semantics) but it isn’t a backup tool as such. I’m guessing you don’t run the mail server?

@nobodyinperson subject in the file name is going to seriously limit your options. I’d reconsider that requirement tbh

@david_chisnall @tudor oh yeah there’s nothing in common between the two system calls, merely the discussion of system calls reminding me of that one

@tudor @david_chisnall I’m also not a FreeBSD user. This reminded me of an AIX (I think) signal which sounds useful, a pre-oom killer, “get your shit together” signal. Might be SIGWARN

@neil @fox literally the first sentence of the post!

I’ve never had to add “elon” or “trump” filters on mastodon before which speaks to the quality of my feed, at least up to now. Perhaps it’s a symptom of growth (and ultimately growth a good thing?)
