"For reasons I couldn’t fully grasp at the time, I found a strange solace in that book, which all these years later I understand to be about the fickle and fugitive hope, when living in a difficult historical period, that punishment might once again, somehow, fit the crime."

Posting factual information is ... becoming radical. Making it easy to find? Extremist behavior. Not making people look at ads to see it? Downright suspect! How dare you.

Say I consider "Audacity" to be a frustrating program to use.

Is there a Linux audio recording program which is a little more stripped down than Audacity? Like say some sort of "voice memo" program that lets me just record voice clips and recover the wavs. Export as MP3 a bonus but not required.

Super ultra bonus points if it's in either the GNOME Software repository or on Flathub.

in reply to mcc

I've been using github.com/magnush/mhwaveedit/ for the last 2 years since what passes for a GPU on my devices does not play well with audacity. My use case (view waveforms, zoom, pan, play subintervals) might differ from yours though.

Allegedly there's a more recently active fork at github.com/Sound-Linux-More/mh… but I haven't tried it.

in reply to mcc

GNOME Sound Recorder has always been too unreliable/buggy and lacking in flexibility for me. I can NOT afford having a voice recorder fail on me, and I want to be able to record multiple streams at once (i.e. "podcast interview" style).
I swear by Ryo Nakano's "Reco" app now (and they have been quite appreciative of my feedback / bug reports, so that's nice): flathub.org/apps/com.github.ry…

just learned about this myself a few weeks back as I’m deploying CockroachDB and they urge you to make sure your time infrastructure smears leap seconds like this 😵‍💫

Apparently Google has public NTP servers you can use, but since we too have GPS-regulated NTP servers I opted to do this using chrony on the database servers instead.

@brie @wariat @emill1984 masz rację. Jak do zamku Gargamela, to już lepiej chyba skoczyć z muru niż oczy kaleczyć tym pokractwem... Warszawę Polacy pięknie odbudowali, ale poznaniacy zamku już nie dali rady....
