+1, Florisboard is awesome. It does the job great, and protects your privacy really well. Plus there’s some pretty cool themes for it.

I switched to 7-Zip many years ago, and then to Linux last year, but thanks for caring. :)

Same. Can’t see what’s in a zip until you’ve downloaded it.

Used to be daddy but we don’t talk about that, she’s much happier post-transition

Based on our recent interactions, I would say you probably don’t have the expertise necessary to evaluate whether the file’s safe. I very much doubt you’re gonna gain any new knowledge from doing this.

This isn’t a slight against you. I don’t have the expertise, either.

It’s almost as if making one organisation the gatekeeper to a quarter of the internet is a bad idea…

This is way outside of my expertise. I’m not sure you’d find anything VirusTotal’s behaviour checks didn’t find, anyway. Usually, if I’m at all unsure, I just won’t run it.

You may have to mount the iso first before a virus scanner would scan it. Which I would advise against doing on a machine you care about. And even then, it might not scan the suspect files anyway, a lot of scanners will only check files with certain extensions.

Otherwise you could just run it in a virtual machine with no network connections and see if anything sus happens. But it might not happen right away, or it might detect the VM and not trigger any malware.

These are ways you can gather information to make an informed decision, but ultimately you may just have to decide whether you trust the source enough to roll the dice. Only you can make that decision.

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

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 :)

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.

Can I just say I love your username

You may wish to reconsider using Brave. The devs are not very nice people.

I tried Zen and I didn’t like it. I have a big enough screen, I like everything being a click away, I even turned on the menu bar in LibreWolf. I also didn’t like the forced tabs down the side. I guess this is why we have options!

You don’t need an addon. Just click the padlock and turn on “LibreWolf: Always store cookies/data for this site”.

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 :)
