singpolyma commented on Which audio codec for internet podcast to use? at Reddit, saying
I have always used openenc myself, but I imagine ffmpeg will do a good job. Usually it does.

singpolyma commented on What about playing old proprietary games with a free emulator (x-post)? at Reddit, saying
You have to choose how you apply the ethical questions of free software to your own life, but there's no difference between an "old" proprietary game or and "emulated" on and any other proprietary video game you might run. Not from an ethical / freedom perspective.

Opus. It's got no legal problems, pretty broad support, and beats every other codec on quality-per-bit

singpolyma commented on Can someone break down the "Fine Bros" Debacle? at Reddit, saying
Based only on your description, it seems more like they're going to start enforcing the right already given them by law than anything else, since you don't "copyright" things and you can't trademark a format…

Not sure which debacle you're talking about. I do know they recently stole some music from a well-known CC artist.

I made a physical board book (for infants and small children) based on Big Buck Bunny last fall. So some physical copies of that exist, all under CC-BY-SA

singpolyma commented on How do people feel about modules that only exist to provide instance? at Reddit, saying
sure, that would be neat, but I think reasonably-documented packages can make it as clear to the human as non-orphans

No. It is a lot. More than I run with, and I never swap

singpolyma commented on Who still uses a 32-bit operating system (OS) and why? at Reddit, saying
All of my intel-based laptops are 32bit. My desktop is 64bit but I run 32bit on it because back when I did the install it was still safer for compatibility, etc. Especially for gaming

singpolyma commented on How do people feel about modules that only exist to provide instance? at Reddit, saying
Having a seperate package to add an instance seems reasonable to me if the instance should exist, but neither the package for the class nor the package for the type ought to depend on the other.

Just needs to be clearly documented that these other packages exist (on one of the before mentioned packages) and then it is effectively not an orphan. Not quite.

singpolyma commented on New home server: BTRFS or ZFS-on-linux ? at Reddit, saying

As far as I know zfs has zero chance for inclusion in the Linux kernel ever

The current ZFS implementation, anyway. Someone could write a new one. Or write one based on the GPL'd read-only driver in GRUB.

singpolyma commented on If i use some cc-by-sa 3.0 art in my game, and change that art a bit, does the "share alike" spread to my whole game or is it contained in just that changed art sprite? at Reddit, saying
It makes no difference if you alter the sprite. The only question is if any part of the game art counts as "derivative" because of the mix. I think if you make a sprite sheet or whatever, that's clearly derivative and that file must be share alike. If you make objects designed for the sprite to hold or interact with, etc, those may be derivative as well. Even code that controls special features of that sprite maybe. Other assets are less likely to be affected.

IANAL. TINLA.
