My mouse is definitely on its last legs and I've started watching for sales to pick up a new one. My main question is not which mouse to get, but wired or wireless?

I like the concept of wireless, but it spooks me out because I assume there will be latency or consistency issues. So I'm wondering how other people's experience with them have been? Had any problems or a flawless experience, and if so what mouse and when?

It was very photogenic this week.

OTTAWA – After Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America,” Prime Minister Mark Carney announced he would preemptively rename the rest of the Great Lakes as “Lake Legal Adult” in order for the president to immediately lose interest in touching them.

An alternative title would be "Convince me to not just give up and 777 everything" (everything that wouldn't immediately break from forced permissions, that is).

I've been running a Linux NAS, specifically TrueNAS, for a few years now and it is a non-stop fight with permissions. The general recommendation I hear is to set different users for apps such as Docker to prevent permission over-reach, in the same vein as avoiding use of root, and some things simply require multiple users. Which I get.

My problems begin when I try to provide access to the same file/folders across multiple users. Say I want my Jellyfin library to be editable by my personal account, or allow an app access to my camera roll folder. I often find the way programs and Linux user permissions work is that upon file creation they set too restrictive permissions (different owner and ignoring the existing group/other perms). This then causes errors when another user tries to access or change the file later. It isn't always a constant, but it comes up very often that I am fighting owner / permission issues.

I have attempted to fix this with an hourly cron job as root that performs chown and chmod on certain directories, but this is 1) a pain to set up and manage, and 2) I have to sometimes wait up to 59 minutes to access the files or have a cron job running every minute or so on a terabyte of files (ew). I felt that this surely can't be the intended way.

Thus I'm currently trying ACLs via the TrueNAS GUI. Specifically I have used NFSv4 ACLs because they have "Inherit" flags which allows me to enforce the user/owner/permissions upon file creation. This solution works beautifully for a single dataset/single ACL of my personal files! I can copy, paste, and edit to my heart's content without anything setting it's own permissions and fucking it up. The annoyances with this solution begin when using it on sshfs¹ mounted folders in Dolphin, where trying to cut+paste a file from Folder A with ACL 1 to Folder B with ACL 2 throws permission errors. I then have to copy and delete separately which is annoying, especially when you forgot you're going across two different ACLs. I also expect this to break upon use with certain picky Docker apps unless I get the ACL perfect, but I haven't tried the tricky ones yet.

So really my question is this: what am I missing? Surely I'm not expected to sudo chown && sudo chmod every other day because a user account decided to set 755 instead of 775 like every other file in the directory, or because they set their personal user group instead of the example_user group?

Hi, apologies for yet another "help me replace my Windows app 😭" post. I am attempting to move to Linux and have been mostly successful - day-to-day stuff, programming, games, it all works great! The biggest deal-breaker so far has actually been a music player... Is there anything that comes even close to MusicBee? I have yet to find it and am surprised there is such a gap in the space considering Linux seems full of data hoarders and collectors. Before you ask, I have tried running MusicBee through Wine but I just don't think it will work - Everything is 3x slower than in Windows, there are little bugs everywhere, pressing the wrong dialogue may crash the program, and some pages just don't load... So! Let's get into my pipe-dream of what I would want to keep from MusicBee:

Must-haves (deal-breakers):

• Multiple artist tags!!! All my files have artists tagged separately, with a display artist tagged separate. I can change the internal tags I use, but I can't go without any form of multi-artist support.
• Browsing and searching by various tags, such as Album Artist and Genre.
• Support for volume levelled (replay gain) playback.

Features that I feel I need:

• Scrobbling.
• Auto playlists that support any combination of tags and preferrably allow referencing other playlists.
• Registering external tools to send files to via shortcuts or context menus, to supplement the features that I inevitably will miss.

Nice-to-haves (could be replaced with another app or script or by re-organising my library):

• Tag editor
• Support for custom tags.
• Conversion to other file types including playlist re-labelling.
• File moving and re-organisation based on user-customisable formats, i.e <Album Artist>/<Album>/<Title>.
• Tagging of volume levelling (replay gain).

Yeah, I don't think it's happening either. But I figure I should ask before I just give up. Web apps would be fine too, btw! If you're wondering why I want custom tag support, it's because: I've found it much easier to use for auto-playlist creation, and I have found it more resistant to data loss and file moves since I don't have to rely on the music players internal library. It could be replaced by transferring that data into the Comments or Keywords tag, but that still requires very strong auto playlist support.

So my question is this:

Are there any Linux-native music players that fit some of these criteria? If not, what is your favourite that comes close? And as an additional question, if you were to extend an open source player to support any of these features, which do you think would be the best basis to build upon?
