Dear #music #LazyWeb,

many years ago (before its acquisition), I was a big fan of #LastFM. To this day it was the best music recommendation system I ever used. Deezer's (and I hear Spotify's), doesn't come anywhere close.

I would like to find something to fill that void - to help me find artists that I would otherwise not, based on what I listen to.

What is a good option these days?

Dear #lazyweb friends, this creature showed up in our Foodsharing haul today - what the heck is it?

My partner calls it "Cthulhu-lemon" and says it's a sign for impending doom, but maybe there are more practical applications.

Like putting it in a salad or something..?

@Vivaldi I knew there’d be something somewhere, thank you! #lazyweb

Who's the Black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?

So, curl doesn’t integrate with libsecret in any way? I assume that since there’s no discussion on the main mailing list of in the GitHub issues for it that I’m somehow being dumb thinking I want it.
If the service that I’m authenticating to uses basic auth, and I don’t want to store my passwords in a .netrc in my HOME or pass it in clear on the command-line, what are my best options?

Midi questions:

Midi is a serial connection and there exists a standard for sending it over TRS.

1. Do any phones support sending MIDI over the headphone jack or via a standard USB C to Headphone adaptor?

2. I assume midi over Bluetooth or midi over WiFi have some sort of documentation?

3. Is there an android app that will send midi in real time over the headphone jack or over Bluetooth or over WiFi (that I could use to play a busking organ)?

4. Can a phone with USB C be a usb host for a midi device, like can I plug my phone into a drum machine and output note-ons?

Hey, #lazyweb, what does it mean if I can VNC into my #raspberrypi from my laptop but not from my desktop (tried three viewers)? I've triple-checked the address and the port.

Edit: the laptop and desktop are both running Debian Trixie, fully updated, and the Pi is running RPOs, also fully updated.

This has modern #linux problem been annoying me for so long...

Under a Wayland session in #Ubuntu 24.04 my keyboard is en-US but under X11 its en-GB (which is correct)

I have searched, even asked Gemini and done everything (including XKB, XBB, gsettings etc ) but can not find a solution to set my Wayland session en-GB as default or even change it once logged in.

Its deeply annoying, any help or pointers would be great

Do I (or you!) know someone who has experience (or ability) working with Pagefind https://pagefind.app to implement search for an @11ty based website who also happens to be available for hire?

I need someone who can use the search API to create a custom implementation with custom HTML markup, not just set up the default Pagefind behavior (which I can do already).

Thank you! #lazyWeb

What's a tankie? (I forgot the exact meaning)

I'm looking for a #NextCloud hosting provider that uses data centers within #Canada or if that can't be had, another country that's not the US. Cloud and More is the only canadian partner listed on nextcloud.com, but from website it seems they're only after business customers. My interest is just for myself and family. What providers would you recommend?

I'm riding a #bikepacking race/holiday in October. Just learned the comms are all WhatsApp-based. I don't do Meta. So, what to do? #lazyweb
It's somewhat pathetic, but I do feel sometimes I miss out by refusing to use WhatsApp. Does anyone use a burner number service for such things? And/or say a Signal bridge service (Beeper?) to distance oneself from dealing with Meta direct? #privacy

What’s the best way to author an epub today? I’d like to edit the xhtml directly, but am struggling with the conversion and packaging. I’m unhappy with the output from InDesign and Calibre.

Hey #LazyWeb, what’s the current thinking around long-term (monthslong) storage of laptops? Does one need to remove the battery?
