odroid or minisforum. Good luck though, prices are horrid right now thanks to unhinged AI tech bros.
Better to take up a new hobby like woodworking


I live in Australia, our internet is garbage.


this is very much untrue. I’ve just got a home connection and manage fine.


Did you read the article? I’m guessing not, because you’d have read this part
… and a “5400 RPM Class” Western Digital Red—which, as tested by audio spectral analysis, actually spins at 7,200rpm
or followed the link to the original investigation and seen this part:
Known “5400RPM Class”=7200RPM drives: …
WD80EZAZ-11TDBA0 (WD MyBook 8TB)
WD80EFAX (WD Red Plus 8TB)
WD100EFAX/WD101EFAX (WD Red Plus 10TB)
[WD80EFZX? (old WD Red 8TB)]


are you sure the WD red plus was actually 5400rpm and not what they call “5400rpm class”? WD was caught straight up lying on the spec sheets for 5400 drives, they’re actually 7200. e.g https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/09/western-digital-is-trying-to-redefine-the-word-rpm/


I am well aware of what soulseek is. sockseek is not soulseek though, it’s a vibe coded app that doesn’t share back to the network and causes issues with legitimate clients.


is sockseek one of those clients that doesn’t share back and just leeches off the network?
If so please don’t use it, people have started putting capatchas on their shares because of these clients and it messes up legitimate clients like slskd


I think streamrip is what you want

and there’s an updated and maintained version of deemix here:


can yt-dlp grab things from deezer?


I liked them, they were a hoot.


I don’t get it, this just looks like you’re trying to shoehorn discussion board type software into a comparison tool for microblogging
that gets tedious, fast. Much easier to use beets that does none of that silly stuff.
from the sounds of it it’s not changing the actual file, just changing the duration tag which is then being read by whichever wonky app OP is using. Why does picard change the duration tag rather than just rely on the file? who knows.
it doesn’t just use the same source as picard? beets can use discogs, itunes, deezer, spotify and probably a bunch more.
beets with a whole bunch of custom scripts. I tried using picard but found it to be completely useless, it rarely finds a match and when it does it decides it belongs to multiple album editions rather than just 1.


Why did the bicycle fall down?
Because it was two tired


They won the search engine war by being better at search compared to all the others.


can your next project be to get one of those old multi-disc CD changers, install a rw drive in it and see if you can make a raid array work with it?
I think SYN comes first, not ACK
