Set your favorite browser to "mobile mode" (Ctrl+M on Firefox), reload,
and suddenly Instagram will give you an upload button.

Re: music speed change w/ pitch correction

2020-04-24 Thread William Lindley via PLUG-discuss
Try PulseEffects.  Easy to use and can change pitch by semitones with a
click or two.  And much more.

Probably already in your favorite distro's repository.

This is the HL-3170cdw.  Printer works perfectly as a plain PostScript
device; or openprinting.org has a PPD for the similar 3070 which works fine:

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Brother/Brother-HL-3070CW

There is a tiny wrapper program on the Brother site; it appears to only
add support for built-in fonts and set a few other PostScript options...
the installed bits (you can do this in a Docker container) are almost
entirely text and an easily viewed binary that seems just to add the
various strings.

I believe the current model, HL-L3270CDW, should work exactly the same,
although have not tested.

Re: color laser printer?

2020-01-25 Thread William Lindley
Very happy with my Brother color duplex laser (well, really, LED beam)
printer.  Works perfectly with cups ppd.

Places like 123inkjets.com have low-cost remanufactured or compatible
cartridges that work perfectly as well.

The only noticeable overall performance difference is that whereas HP
prints duplex pages faster (first-side-first-page,
first-side-second-page, second-side-first-page,
second-side-second-page), the Brother only handles one sheet at a time. 
The slower speed, in my experience, is not a problem because the Brother
mechanism is less likely to jam, and is far easier to clear should
anything go wrong.

SSDs versus spinning-rust drives

2019-12-01 Thread William Lindley
Contemplating ordering an SSD as at least the boot and main drive for my PC.

Is that even a good idea?  Are /var, logfiles, and all the other stuff
that constantly gets written to disk, still a Really Bad Idea for
solid-state memory with its limited write cycle times?

Or is that no longer an issue?

And does anyone really trust SSD to maintain actual documents, family
photos, and such over long periods of time?
