this looks like a great release!

and although i bought the affinity apps a while ago - after i got them somewhat running on kubuntu - i still tend to use inkscape more often than affinity designer.

i guess it’s time for me to donate a few bucks … 😊

hmm, usually the & is not part of the filename and just tells the script to run in the background 🤔

but i’m not sure what it means in this case.

sometimes one of the requests is a m3u8 playlist, or something similar.

it may contain urls of thousands of chunks.

if you download all of them you can concat them.

that worked for me for some streams a few years ago, but there is probably an easier way 🤷🏻‍♂️

videos? they should totally be watchable at that point.

ok, yes, i suppose i should not have mentioned the scripts without attaching a warning.

i’m still grateful though that someone put in the effort to write 'em, because they finally solved a problem for me that i couldn’t solve for years.

i guess now it’s “the communities” turn to properly document and dissect those scripts for the larger user base.

i’m certainly not angry with whoever wrote those scripts because he didn’t put in even more effort for free.

but i do get your point (i think) and agree.

Well, jeah, i usually don’t like those too much either.

But then i just open the url and read the script line for line.

I got it running on my two kubuntu 24.04 machines using the scripts described in this video:

The process was still a bit fiddly but i got all three affinity apps running now.

My songs are already on spotify, etc.

Are they still viable or will there be copyright issues?

about 350

maybe less in the future, cause most phones are good enough already.

bitwig studio comes with tons of samples. it’s a fantastic daw.

there’s a reason a lot of ableton users switch over to bitwig.

reaper is also very good, but a bit clunky for edm/techno/etc.

[ ] Yes

[ ] No

[x] Maybe

i had something similar on my kubuntu/win7 dual-boot.

iirc i fixed it by disabling the powersave of my wifi-adapter.

don’t remember the exact command at the moment though. 🤔

I was hoping for a fix for the battery drain that affects all my audio-apps (spotify, musicolet, smart audiobook player, etc.)

But maybe there’s a different reason for the drain. Hmm… 🤔

My Pixel 6a has 6GB.

I’m very happy with it.

I think 4GB is ok but on the lower end.

8GB is plenty.

Hehe ^^ I would never have thought of dockerizing my stupid backup-scripts although i work with container-stuff fairly often.

I’ve never dared to try anything other than debian based distros though.

Is that a common approach for non-debian people?

i wonder if this will fuck up the dynamics of music-videos 🤔
