  • Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.

    Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn’t work so I can’t upload and can’t be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.

    I couldn’t get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don’t want to run S1 on this box.

    But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.

    I don’t use flatpak much but trying to do…

    flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7

    … failed with “Failed to connect to Wayland display”.

    I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.

    What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.

    But it is really surprising development.

    Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying “Studio One is a Wayland application and won’t run in X11 session.”



  • What a nonsense.

    CVE was used by thousands and thousands of security professionals and organizations, companies are just small part of it. Companies contributed a lot with their own research and vulnerabilities they found and reported into CVE. It was useful because it made it easier to categorize and catalogue vulnerabilities and it made everyone’s life easier. Not just companies’. It made it easier for Linux distros as well. And so on, and so on. Do Americana really think everything needs to be run as a company and for profit?

    I guess we’ll now go back to the “good old days” of sharing bugs on Bugtraq.

    I still can’t comprehend that Americans voted that idiot into White House. Again. Damage he is doing is out of this world and will only become apparent in years to come. Truly incredible.




  • When was the last time YOU have “laundered money with crypto”?

    Why don’t you do it and tell us how it goes?

    You have to do serious KYC everywhere before you can even think of withdrawing cash (any serious amount). I know, i had to do few of these in past 18 months just to retain access to few largest exchanges. Bitcoin is not anonymous. On the contrary.

    And if you think loundering is converting from BTC to XMR and buying drugs with it, well let’s just say that crypto has a very, very long way to go before it comes even remotely close to Dollar.




  • Not really interested in debating with average “I run arch btw” user. We are not in the same universe, things I have to audit and maintain are not in the same universe with things you do, so having such a smart advice coming from you is not a surprise at all. I could, after all, just roll out my own distro if I am not happy, amirite?

    I run systemd machines because I don’t have a choice. It doesn’t make it any less of a shit. Simple as that.

    But hey, tell me some more about systemd, I am really new to all this 🤔


  • “Just avoid places that sysadmins and security guys frequent and get your opinions on systemd from memes and people running arch on home machine”. Great plan.

    Systemd is absolute and utter shit, especially from security perspective.

    Noone was asking security guys but package maintainers.

    My favorite systemd thing is booting up a box with 6 NICs where only 1 was configured during the initial setup. Second favorite is betting on whether it will hang on reboot/shutdown.

    Great tool, 10/10.






  • That’s a nonsense point.

    You are assuming that everyone reading the topic knows everything you do. People don’t.

    The very reason I am using Jellyfin is because in some Plex thread on reddit, months ago, random people said something along the lines of “Lol, you should have used Jellyfin”.

    I knew that Plex was (although I did not use it myself) so I went to see what Jellyfin is. Once I saw what it does (amazingly well) and how simple it is to setup, I set it up. I am an old fart, I don’t have time to follow everything anymore so I truly did not know about Jellyfin.

    And that’s the story of how I found out about Jellyfin. By someone loling in the tread about Plex.

    But hey, everyone should just do what the guy upstairs want, so he doesn’t get upset.

    It is reasonable.
