I couldn’t help being reminded of some things when I saw the first mention in Brianna Wu’s article of Wikipedia’s decision to only sanction feminists for trying to keep their Gamergate coverage less atrocious.
See, I actually used to sit on that body.
The reason it can make a…

I keep seeing Donald Glover for Spiderman, which is pretty cool. Donald Glover is a pretty good actor and tumblr really likes the idea of a non-white dude playing Spidey. All good. But wait, enter Dev Patel!!
Dev is an Indian actor. He’s done movies like Slumdog Millionaire,…

Just in case any one else is completely flummoxed
So there I was having got to a “Until Ubuntu fix the massive honking great bug, I don’t really need to footle with the media server” place. And I sat down with a book and said to the Squeezebox in the lounge, play this album.
It went “Of course….No”.
Not that it did it in a useful way, oh no.
Not in a providing me with debugging output that I could use way, no.
It said “Can’t find file for:”. Which initially I thought might be a permissions problem. Then after some research I thought it might be a transcoding problem. Then I tweaked the debug logging settings and all it said was that it found the file I asked it to play. No error actually recorded. Then I upgraded having discovered there’s now versions released that are not Logitech’s own. That didn’t help either. Then eventually I was writing a long ‘help me please’ post on the slimbox forums when I thought “what the hell, I’ll try the ‘nightly’ build of the server software”.
And lo, it worketh.
So:
Logitech Media Server 7.7.x Doesn’t work properly on Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) with early Squeezeboxes.
Logitech Media Server 7.8.0 Also doesn’t work properly on Ubuntu 14.04 with early Squeezeboxes.The nightly build of Logitech Media Server (as of today 7.9.0~1423739099) seems to bring back FLAC (and I’d guess other transcoded formats) on early Squeezeboxes on Trusty Tahr. At least it has on my install. At this moment. I’m crossing my fingers for the future.
Whilst the new media server is all shades of awesome, and having access to all my music as I travel places is pretty damn cool, this upgrade has not been an epitome of smoothness.

Her father said: “It was execution style, a bullet in every head. This was not a dispute over a parking space; this was a hate crime. This man had picked on my daughter and her husband a couple of times before, and he talked with them with his gun in his belt. And they were uncomfortable with him, but they did not know he would go this far.” Abu-Salha said his daughter who lived next door to Hicks wore a Muslim head scarf and told her family a week ago that she had “a hateful neighbor.” “Honest to God, she said, ‘He hates us for what we are and how we look.”
This is not getting enough coverage, and the news that do report about it is twisting the truth.
It’s a terrorist act, it’s not acceptable. Boost this

Suggestions on a postcard
If anyone’s got any great ideas for overcoming insomnia, now would be good. I’ve woken up at ~2am for the past 4 days – after which I find it impossible to get back to sleep (sort of drift off for 20 minutes then *BANG* I’m awake).
Which leaves me exhausted in the morning. And ill. ‘cos I’m still ill.
So, err, yeah. That’s sucking.

My subconscious has interesting ideas about self-care, apparently.
Yesterday morning, I came up with a plan to remodel a house I wasn’t able to buy five years ago.
This morning? An plan for a coffee table I now want to build.
So, faced with some unprecedented emotional heavy…
Aye, I’ve actually been struggling to get off to sleep because I’ve been designing our house that we want to build in the States. Never mind that this one’s not finished, and needs to be for us to sell it; nor that I’ve not got permission to live or work in the US. No, I’m going to exhaust brainpower on working on some random thing that isn’t going to happen for years…
