After the last update of gnome I’ve heard some stuttering or distortions when playing audio, e.g. youtube videos. It seems, that there is some buffer underflow of audio data while transfering it to the audio hardware. And the audio hardware doesn’t get a continous stream of data and thus needs to do little pauses when playing back audio which is very annoying.

Gitpod.io provides a online IDE development environment, that you can connect to your github account (or gitlab or bitbucket). You get also a command line. But signing commits is a bit more tricky.

From time to time, a software upgrade is is needed. A upgrade - in contrast to an update - is a more invasive way to install a new version: Everything is deleted and installed from ground up. This is required e.g. when you want to upgrade from LineageOS 17 to LineageOS 18, like I recently did for a Fairphone 2 phone.

If you want to sign your code, you need a certificate. You can create a self-signed certificate, but then the users still need to accept your signature. Code signing is often used for eclipse and eclipse plugins. If you install a eclipse plugin, which is not signed, you always need to say “Install anyway…”. If your plugin would be signed - especially with a certificate that is trusted - this dialog wouldn’t show and the plugin is installed without notice.

In order to spare my existing real floppy drives (actually only 1 is still fully operational) I decided to use a floppy emulator. The idea is to replace one of the floppy drives with the emulator and this emulator will appear as a “normal” floppy drive to the alphatronic.
