I set up a couple of pi-zeros to monitor our heating and other stuff, it runs lightpd and have been running for several years uninterrupted.
They are only accessible on the local network, so I don’t even bother to run updates :-)

I just unsubscribe if a channel start using AI thumbnails

Perhaps you are right, I could be remembering it wrong (but really I don’t feel like wading through that comment-section), the telemetry was just the tip of the iceberg for me, violating GPL licence and things like using google and yandex are among many reasons I just don’t trust them with my music.

It only became opt-in when people found out.

And it’s not the only problem I have with Audacity, this is from an article in slashgear

"…For example, it says that it collects data necessary for law enforcement but doesn’t specify what kind of data is collected.

There are also questions regarding the storage of data, which is located in servers in the USA, Russia, and the European Economic Area. IP addresses, for example, are stored in an identifiable way for a day before being hashed and then stored in servers for a year. The new policy also disallows people under the age of 13 from using the software, which, as FOSS Post points out, is a violation of the GPL license that Audacity uses."

The fact that they even considered this, made me lose trust in them. Tenacity FTW.

afaik there’s no public list of package mirrors

I recently helped a friend install Debian via sms, it was surprisingly easy, and she had never tried installing Linux before. When installing on a laptop I’d recommend using cable instead of wifi, and then setup wifi when the system is up and running.

Best of luck

I’m using two pi-zero-w to monitor our garage and boiler-room, works like a charm, you can even install a lightweight webserver like lighttpd and setup a livestream

? My Scarlett have a world-clock BNC and optical I/O (sorry for the potato quality)

Thanks, I assume that the cable I use for transferring from DAT to pc can be used for this as well.

Just trying to add extra microphone inputs (Saffire PRO 40) to my soundcard (Scarlett 18i20) and wanted to hear if there would be any problems connecting it all in Linux (using ADAT) before I bought the new interface

… 32 channels in and out

Nice, might have to try adding my 2 ch Focusrite I use on my desktop if I run out of inputs

Thanks :-)
Was about to post the same in Ardour forums

I can’t remember all my neighbours names (thou I often greet them), but I know their dogs name :-)

The book that got me started was “friheden til at vælge Linux” (Freedom to choose Linux), at the time it was available in other languages, but I can only find the Danish version online:

When I started my LPIC I bought the “LPIC-1 in depth”., it’s a bit dry but very thorough.

There are a couple of solutions, I’m using Ardour myself, but LMMS might be more like Ableton

There is a more or less complete list here: https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/daw_apps
