Could you give some examples of things that worked for you on Windows but couldn’t port over to Linux? I’m interested if they’re related more to games or just using Linux in general.

How does GLM 4.5 (Air or regular) compare to more popular models? I picked its answer once on LMArena, but that’s all my encounters with it.

That’s a shame. Has the developer stated this, or is it just based on the lack of activity?

There seems to be a fork planning to continue the work. It was updated only a few hours ago.

Thanks a lot! This might just be enough to get me to actually try it!

Hi! I’m interested in trying Nushell at some point, although I keep putting it off…

Would you share your experience on a couple of items?

1. How easy was it to get started?
2. Do you find, or did you at least find in the beginning, that it is more suited for some particular tasks than using it as your day-to-day shell? If so, what were those?
3. Can you integrate it with existing tools that you know how to use from other shells, like grep or awk?

Tempo is a good open-source player for Android that works well with Navidrome.

On iOS, Arpeggi is good, but not open source (I think). It’s still under development, but I don’t think it’s missing any major features at this point.

Thanks a lot!

Hey! Good to know about the 128 kbps threshold.

What’s your take on MP3 bitrates? I’ve read some posts online claiming that 320 kbps is overkill most of, if not all of, the time. They claimed that there is little to no gain going above around 220 kbps. In your experience, is there any truth to this?

For lower bitrates, I’d suggest using a different codec than MP3. Opus is really solid, and at 128 kbps it will probably get you quality similar to MP3 at 192 kbps. Or you could go lower, and 96 kbps with Opus will be similar to MP3 at 128 kbps. I don’t know an app that will do it automatically, but the CLI tools are really simple to use: you point them at the FLAC and tell it the target bitrate and that’s it.

Alternatively, if you have access to a macOS machine, their AAC encoder is really good and likely superior to any MP3 encoder at equivalent bitrates.
