Awesome! Thank you so much!

Re: How to back up the existing music on an iPod

I have to have rockbox on my mini since I am running linux and don't have easy access to itunes. I had to ask my partner to restore my ipod when I flashed modded my mini. Oh yeah! Forgot about that. Soon I'll be installing Debian on my main machine. I'll make sure to flash Rockbox on my classic ^^

Re: How to back up the existing music on an iPod

That's a very complete guide! Thanks! I might try Rockbox in the future so I don't have to go through all that process in case I delete my local copy ='')

Re: Ordered an iPod

It is really depressing how there are no repairable ipod alternatives at all. I looked so hard and ipods where the only option if I wanted to be able to replace the flipping battery myself. What a sad world we live in. That being said, did you get the ipod dock on ebay. I wish I got into the ipod ...

Re: "The Importance of Inconvenience" by MecklesFrog

Awesome video, I've been feeling this way for quite a while. I feel like convenience removes the "ritual" aspect of consuming certain types of art. The whole process of going to Blockbuster, renting a movie, probably chat with someone in the process, and then go back, physically get the media out ...

Re: Ordered an iPod

I bought a 5th (5.5)gen iPod classic a year ago, changed the battery (twice) and upgraded the storage with an iFlash-CF mod and a CF to MicroSD adapter. After a quick fix while restoring the iPod using Windows, it's been great! Being able to listen to my music library without any distractions or ads ...

Re: I use arch, btw

Lately I've been using regular Debian, it works really well on low spec machines and I love using it in servers. Recently I've been working with offline maps, tiles and directions API's to self host country-wide maps with navigation and directions, and oh man is it RAM/CPU intensive. Every MB of RAM ...

Re: 00's feeling websites

If you like getting all kinds of detailed info regarding space missions, space vehicles, rocket stages, spaceports and schedules, this one also screams 00's. I don't think it has changed at all since it's creation: https://space.skyrocket.de/index.html I got to say, I found that website extremely ...

Re: I'm glad this forum exists!

I'm pretty excited about this aswell! It's been a long time since I've felt like being part and actively contribute to smaller communities like this, and I'm all down for it! rejectconvenience is right, making a Discord server isn't the best idea, and I feel like the sense of community in a good old ...
