Ich konnte nicht schlafen. Und habe gestern meinen alten iPod gefunden. Und ich mag Apple nicht und habe iTunes schon immer verflucht. Also habe ich RockBox auf den iPod geballert. Doch nicht genug: Ich habe mein eigenes Synctool-gebaut: RockBox (USB-Massespeicher) <--> Subsonic-Musicserver

The For You feed is going to be down while I'm upgrading the CPU from AMD 7900 (12 core) to AMD 9950X3D (16 core). This should increase how many users it can serve by ~50%-100%. If all goes well it should be back up in an hour or two.

Microsoft just pulled a classic bait-and-switch tactic by ending free #Office licenses for NPOs. 😡 Don't let Big Tech lure you into their platforms with "free" offerings. Open source alternatives like Linux + Tuta put YOU in control. ✊ Because you deserve better. ❤️ 👉 tuta.com/blog/microso...
