> Given an existing collection - Is there an easy way to auto sort & tag everything? e.g. Merge the artists 'Guns N Roses' and 'Guns and Roses' into the most correct one.

I've recently started using Beets[1] to organize my music collection. It's a command line application that IMHO is not entirely intuitive to use at first. But once you get the hang of it, it works incredibly well.

There's a crowd-sourced list of banking apps known to work on GOS at <https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...>.

Using the nginx module on NixOS[1] and enabling services.nginx.validateConfigFil, which defaults to true, generated nginx configurations will be checked by Gixy[2]. The build will actually fail if Gixy finds any issues.

From <https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/#ch-supported-platforms>:

> Nix is currently supported on the following platforms:

> - Linux (i686, x86_64, aarch64).

> - macOS (x86_64).


Reminds me of "Tempest for Eliza" which uses the computer's monitor to generate AM signals: http://www.erikyyy.de/tempest/


multi-hops[0] should probably be mentioned as well. Using those one can for example open a file using sudo via ssh:

    /ssh:you@remotehost|sudo:remotehost:/path
Doing any further actions on a file opened that way also applies the hops there as well. For the example above opening a shell or running a shell-command would run those through sudo on the remote host.

It's worth mentioning that this is not limited to SSH followed by sudo. It can also be used to edit remote files through a bastion host, by just adding more SSH hops to the file path.


There's also honk[0] which aims to be a small ActivityPub server implementation with "minimal setup and support costs".

> Or something like that already available?

There's Userland[0] which seems to be kinda similar. The demo video[1] is kinda impressive.

"The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage" by Clifford Stoll is my all time favorite for vacation reading.


I read this book about 20 years ago when I was in high school. It was one of my favorite books at the time. I think I read it 3 times during my high school years. It was a great read at the time.

I haven't read it recently but anyone that lived experienced technology of the 80s/90s or wants a realistic feel for what it was like should read this.

It's a great story about how a guy from Berkley (I think) tracked down a hacker. I don't remember the specifics but it was very War Games-esque but based in reality.


Same for me. I first read this during high school in the early 90s and read it several times again in the following years.

There's also a movie about the story which is worth watching: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308449/ You can easily find it (and quite a few talks and interviews by/with Clifford Stoll about the subject of the book) on Youtube if you search for "Cuckoo's Egg".



Yes! Thank you. If anyone has more, I'll be glad to read :D
