@NerdResa Thanks for the tip. Hope I find time to have a look soon.

There is a new wireless daemon for Linux called iwd, developed by Intel to be an alternative to wpa_supplicant. It is meant to be more lightweight, e.g. to run on embedded devices. Also, I think it should be more consistent in its view of the wireless network status, as I learned in the talk at the "All Systems Go" conference.
I just checked out and compiled the code: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/wireless/iwd.git/about/
It's released under LGPL.
@maunzikation Kissen oder Decke in den Rücken? Sieht jedenfalls sehr gemütlich aus :D
I loved the limited space on a tape because it's just the perfect fit for my autistic brain which is in love with repetition ^^ Yes I like loops and short playlists so this is just perfect.
I could of course burn audio to CD and then use my old player/recorder for the cd->tape part. Or I could try to get a walkman with a 3.5mm line in and connect it to the PC.
It's not magic I just need a walkman now!
I'm one of those now I guess 
I still have an old CD and tape player and recorder thing and old mixtapes. But I would really love a portable player again.
There are those tape to usb/mp3 converter things out there. But I would love to be able to convert in the other direction. mp3 to tape.
I want a walkman now.
@maunzikation @minx This! I have an old reader with no integrated light in the screen, just e-ink. It is really much closer to reading a book instead of from a glowing screen. But even with lights it's different.

obligatory comment: physical things fall apart in obvious ways, "digital" things deteriorate in often unnoticed ways http://xkcd.com/1909/#
preserving interactivity is the challenge; various communities (some unknowingly) made progress. I wrote about it: https://figshare.com/articles/Evaluating_Interactive_Archives/5483836 https://mastodon.social/media/tBGUrcFwf50RfyeEqzk

@NerdResa But somehow this is exactly what makes C so exciting and fun to use ^^ That's when you like the feeling of doom and not writing code that could do real damage.

@maunzikation That's just how it works with linux ^^
When communication via forums and things like that are just taking forever and it's going so slow and you get impatient. But actually it's great because it gives you time to process and not be overwhelmed by all the human contact. I don't know /o\

So please help our developer @charlag out:
We want to show the upload progress of media files - should it be a percent value or a progress bar? Or both?
And if we implement a tab to view a users media, would you prefer a fourth tab in profiles or should we hide it in the menu like the web version does?
