You’re welcome, the collaborative effort wins again :)

Thanks, you too. :)

Termux will accept files “shared” to it, and pass the full filename to ~/bin/termux-file-editor

So, if it’s the only thing you plan to use Termux for, you could make your ~/bin/termux-file-editor something like:

#!/bin/bash
ffmpeg -i "$1" -b:a 320k "$1.mp3"

…and then never think about it again, just share files via Termux and it’ll re-encode them for you. :)

or, if you don’t specifically need CBR and just want ffmpeg to output on its highest quality:

#!/bin/bash
ffmpeg -i "$1" -q:a 0 "$1.mp3"

I’m not sure of the exact syntax, but hope this at least helps point you in the right direction :)

Ah. That’s a pretty good reason. Thanks.

Fruit isn’t sold like that here, but I’m curious. Why not just open the bag and take a lemon?

People like that have surprisingly short memories.

If you want to apply back, talk to your former colleagues who have good things to say. List them as your references, or drop their names.

Don’t talk to your old boss. Don’t give her power over you again if your job will have nothing to do with her.

Unpopular opinion: There is no one “best” distro. I’d recommend you download a few, try them out, see what clicks for you. Nobody knows your use case as well as you do.

Me.

You’re not the only one. I jumped ship from Win11, hopped around a bit, but settled on Kubuntu early last year. I’m perfectly happy here, and unless they decide to ram degenerate AI down my throat I’m probably not moving.

You must either have a bad one or you’re using it wrong. The one we have is amazing.

I’m not a Canadian, but I’m flattered you think I am. And it’s not just Canada that’s benefitting. :)

My husband’s switched from Jack Daniels to a local small batch distiller. They charge a similar price for a better product. He’s been kicking himself that he didn’t make the swap earlier.

Making a new country is much harder than that. You have to get a plurality of existing countries to say you’re a country before you can join the club. See also: Taiwan.

That’s not easy.

eBay banned me after I sold about twenty things. They refused to say why, or to reverse the ban. Just be aware that’s a possibility.

If you have anything valuable or bulky, I’d take it to a proper auction house anyway.

Ahh, contrived examples of floating point errors. I haven’t seen those since I asked Javascript to add 0.1 and 0.2 :)

Ah, Python. It might not be fast, but it gets it right in the end. :)
