Don't get me wrong, I use Beets for my entire library, but it doesn't solve any of the issue OP has. It does not get metadata from streaming sites or anywhere else, but same as Picard from Musibrainz. It does not allow to manually change metadata of music you are importing. On the contrary, for that Picard is the better tool as it allows that.

There are not many advantages of using Beets over Picard, apart from CLI, and especially for the OP use case.

Beets is great but it also uses musicbrainz so won't really help OP.

Ubuntu -> Manjaro -> Arch -> Gentoo -> NixOS

The issue with these kinds of tests is that Zen kernel never claimed to be faster. It is supposed to be more responsive, especially under heavy load. Which is basically impossible to test.

Summons are the way to go. Especially when combined with spells/incantations. You can kill most bosses by just summoning and using Rot Breath and just running away. Some bosses also have weaknesses that you can exploit.

But if all else fails, summoning other players is probably the easiest way.

I've been reading all the replies in this thread and feel like I am missing something. As far as I can tell, the only thing Hakim is saying, is that it is important to consider Islamic influence on current Palestinian struggle. Not that the only reason the people are fighting is because of Islam, or that Islam is any way better for liberation of colonized people.

I wouldn't be even surprised if Islam is actually more prone to anti-colonial struggle than other religions, but I don't know enough about it to make such claims. But more importantly, I don't see anything that says that struggle for Palestinian liberation is something that is possible only thanks to Islam.

Religious text can have huge influence even in completely irreligious populations (in this case, people who identify as atheist). For example, my country is one of the most irreligious in the world. But (in my opinion unfortunately) many of our customs, laws, world view, etc. are in some ways derived from the Bible. So it would be fair to say that to understand my country, it might be a good idea to read the Bible.

Which I would say is basically what Hakim is saying here. If you want to have better understanding of current Palestinian fight for liberation, it is useful to have knowledge of Islam. Which I would say is a completely fair statement. Especially considering how demonized Muslims are in western countries.

I am happy to be corrected, but I just cannot see what people are complaining about in this post.

I kinda get it in this instance. It has similar energy to people that are leftists and want to use the US flag. Bald eagle is only used as symbol in US, so I am not a fan either.

I think you missed a few words in the title of the post.

SearX or even better, SearXNG is probably the best option right now. But it is still just a metasearch engine. Unfortunately, currently there is no real FOSS option with its own index that is usable.

If you only do regular desktop stuff or just some light gaming, you will probably be fine with integrated GPU. But beware, your CPU does need to have one (not all ones do). Also, when you are using an integrated GPU you are dedicating part of your RAM for that GPU so in the end you will have less RAM available, usually it is something like 2 GB, but it is something to keep in mind.

To be honest, I would probably avoid latest GPU stuff, most of them are not worth it in my opinion. Too expensive and too power hungry. But it depends on your options and what you want to play.

Second hand is usually fine. Even if it was used for crypto, if it was properly cooled and taken care for (although that is usually hard to know for sure).

You will have the easiest time with AMD GPUs, they are basically plug and play. The only reason for going with nvidia would be their proprietary stuff like DLSS and better ray tracing. Or if you do some work that could benefit from CUDA (machine learning, 3d modeling).

Ir really depends on what you do. If you do normal web browsing/gaming etc. I would prioritize CPU, I would still but at least 16 GB, but with that you should be totally fine. If you do something unusual, programming, virtualization, self-hosting, etc. it depends on your workload.

It depends on what is meant by slower CPU. If you can, I would go with current gen staff anyway, and then it doesn't matter. You can upgrade no matter which CPU you choose. The only factor is a number of channels your CPU have (which will almost always be 2), what generation of DDR it supports (current gen is DDR5 but if you go for older it will be cheaper DDR4) and how many DIMM slots your motherboard have.

Also, AMD is almost always better value with lower power consumption, with some exception in some rare use cases.

 

A few months ago, I switched from using mainly YouTube for music to a self-hosted solution. I download everything from Soulseek and really love it. But the one issue that I have is that it is pretty hard to find new music. With YouTube, I had recommendation that most of the time were pretty conservative but still sometimes offered something new.

So far the only solution to this that I found was using last.fm, but not really a fan of this solution. Does anyone have any better way to discover new music?
