Recommendations for audio production software?

I have literally zero experience with creating audio, but I want to try something new for me.

I know most people who are "properly" into music production are just using a Mac, because it just works and where a lot of the software is available.

Thing is, I have zero expectations.
I don't need a lot of features, plug-ins, and whatever. Most stuff will probably just be fine for me.

Heck, I don't even know what I need in the first place to get a full "stack" of audio production software.

For the start, I'd prefer something simple.
Mostly just something where I can arrange a few recorded audio tracks onto each other and maybe edit them a bit.
Something where I can record the tracks with my microphone (and some time later maybe an input device like a piano keyboard, e-guitar, etc.) and listen them at the same time, preferably in the same program.

What are your experiences with making music on Linux?
What software would you recommend?

For a simpler program look into Tenacity (Audacity fork) and if you want something bigger I know many use Reaper nowadays (available for Linux, Windows and Mac)

tenacity

Tenacity is an easy-to-use, privacy-friendly, FLOSS, cross-platform multi-track audio editor for Windows, macOS, Linux, and other operating systems

Software wise, ProTools is what nearly everyone in the industry uses. Its been around forever. It enjoys a massive monopoly share of the market. But I don't think it works on Linux. Mac n PC only.

For a cheaper Linux friendly option, consider Fairlight (the audio component of Black magic Resolve).

The name "Fairlight" has also been around forever, but was defunct for a while, and a handful of years ago the fine folks at Blackmagic Design bought the brand and IP integrated into their Resolve software. While Resolve has a free tier that includes Fairlight, some might require the Studio version which is a one time fee of ~US$300 and includes all future updates. I've heard some Pros speak highly of the new Fairlight. Can't vouch for it myself but the mantra of the Blackmagic CEO is "we build the tools we wanted when we were working creatives."

Doubling down on Reaper: I’ve tried other DAWs before, but none of them ever felt as natural to me as Reaper. I wouldn’t recommend the Flatpak version, though—I could never get it to work with plugins, although that might just be me. On Linux, you can simply download the install script from the website, which makes installing and uninstalling Reaper just as easy.

I'd try some of the Multimedia / Audio Linux distributions. I believe there are some which have everything set up for you and you can just try and explore. Notably Ubuntu Studio, AV Linux

Other than that, LMMS and Ardour, Qtractor, ZRhythm, Rosegarden, MuSE, or Mixxx for DJing... There's generally a lot. DAWs, trackers, sequencers, synthesizers... you can do professional multitrack recording or just mess with your guitar or sample some electronic music...

It's a bit difficult as a beginner, since there are a lot of options and they all have different user interfaces and you might need to learn a few concepts first. And /or read the documentation or watch some Youtube tutorials.

You essentially have 3 options with open source audio apps (there are some good closed source options too, like the great Reaper, Tracktion Waveform, and BitWig Studio, but I will focus on foss solutions here):

Ardour. This is the premier foss app. In fact, a fork of it is closed source used by a big audio manufacturer. So it's the best tested foss audio software out there. It can do both midi and recording sessions, but it's best for recording stuff. However, the new version, expected by end of this year, will have major midi updates that probably will put it on top of the king of midi in foss:
LMMS. Best for Midi. If you're doing electronic music through and through, this works great. The only downside it has it does not support vst3 plugins (soon enough, this can become an issue, even if you say that you don't care about plugins). You can still get vst3 support by loading them via the Clara plugin (basically, it acts as a plugin for other plugins), but that can be unstable.
QTractor. This one is an odd one out. It's a bit hard to get it going (it requires external synths and some patchwork to connect audio devices), but it is very powerful and I'd say, a more sane UI when editing. It comes with no plugins at all, but it supports all plugin standards for linux. Basically, this one requires more setup, but once you set it up, it gets going easier.

Alternatively, if you're actually interested only in rec. audio editing (basically cutting, pasting etc), simple stuff, there's Audacity.

If you're using Ubuntu or Linux Mint, Zorin, PopOS, install the ubuntustudio package for pipewire (can't remember how it's called you need to search for it). It sets up pipewire audio correctly, so more plugins/apps work out of the box (without it, for example, Bitwig studio doesn't even make a peep...).

Bitwig-fanboy here. This application is insane. Instead of collecting or worse, buying, random VSTs, instruments and samples you can one stop buy Bitwig, download the free packs and have 99% of everything you'll ever need to make music until you die. Plus you can modulate all parameters everywhere, but this already is more advanced stuff. If I had to pick one piece of software to use for the rest of my life, it'd be Bitwig. It's on sale twice a year, watch out fi dis.

I'm a voice actor and musician, and moved to Linux about a month and a half ago with Ubuntu Studio. I went from using Adobe Audition and Cubase to Reaper and Bitwig, and highly recommend both. Reaper is WAY more powerful than I realized. For FOSS you could try Ardour, I've heard good things. Personally I hated it haha, but that may just be because I tried Ardour first after switching to Linux and had the learning curve of both a new OS/audio setup and a new DAW at the same time with a project due day-of.

The biggest issues I had was just getting audio to work properly. I was stuck using ALSA for a few weeks, which worked but only allows one program to use audio at once. I very much recommend looking into using JACK and setting up pipewire.

You can absolutely start just recording via mic and editing from there. If you want to hook up instruments, check out midi controllers. Some plugins are extremely helpful for creating a more polished sound like eq, compressors, limiters, etc. If the space you're recording in doesn't have the best sound treatment, Reaper has a great noise reduction plugin called ReaFIR. It's a little more aggressive than I like but works really well (feel free to ask me how to use it if you're having problems).

My recommendation is to start with Reaper (it's got a free trial that you can keep using beyond the end date) and get your hardware working. After that, record a few tracks, throw them together into your DAW of choice, and play around with them.

You want Reaper. It's a $60 program but you can keep it in trial mode for as long as you want till you've got the money. Reaper has lots of tutorials available on YouTube and can use industry-standard VST plugins, plus it has enough plugins bundled in to get you started.

What he said. Plus: I've been using Ardour for years. Then I tried Reaper, "evaluated" for about 3 months, then decided to pay the ~ 70€. You get a licence for the existing and a future release. It feels much more "natural" to me than Ardour.

in reply to Günther Unlustig 🍄 • 1 mese fa • •

I agree with what others have said about using reaper. It really is a great DAW.

That said, a lot of good vst use stuff like ilok or other crap that makes it impossible or very difficult to use on Linux at least in my experience.

I made a windows box specifically for making music because its just way easier. Making music on Linux sucked for me due to crashing and the plugins I bought before I switched to Linux on my main machine.

Reaper should be fine for you, there are plenty of good Linux compatible VST but if you ever get "serious" about music production, Linux isnt quite there yet IMO. Windows would be my recommendation or if you can afford it, a Mac is good too from what ive heard.

There's the EU-wide ePrivacy directive, explicitly stating (Art. 5):

Member States shall ensure the confidentiality of communications and the related traffic data by means of a public communications network and publicly available electronic communications services, through national legislation. In particular, they shall prohibit listening, tapping, storage or other kinds of interception or surveillance of communications and the related traffic data by persons other than users, without the consent of the users concerned

There's also other EU-wide stuff, like:

Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (Art. 7):

Everyone has the right to respect for his or her private and family life, home and communications.

European Convention on Human Rights (Art. 6):

Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

Then there's the UN-wide Universal Declaration on Human Rights (Art. 12):

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home
or correspondence

And as if that wasn't enough, most member states have confidentiality of communications codified in their constitutions. They are:

Belgium (Art. 29):

The confidentiality of letters is inviolable.

Bulgaria (Art. 34):

The freedom and confidentiality of correspondence and all other communications shall be inviolable.

Croatia (Art. 36)*:

Freedom and privacy of correspondence and all other forms of communication shall be guaranteed and inviolable.

Cyprus (Art 17)*:

Every person has the right to respect for, and to the secrecy of, his correspondence and other communication

Czechia (Art. 13)*:

No one may violate the confidentiality of letters or other papers or records.

Denmark (Art. 72)*:

Any breach of the secrecy that shall be observed in postal, telegraph, and telephone matters, shall not take place

Estonia (Art. 43)*:

Everyone has the right to confidentiality of messages sent or received by him or her by post, telegraph, telephone or other commonly used means

Finland (Sec. 10)*:

The secrecy of correspondence, telephony and other confidential communications is inviolable.

Germany (Art. 10)*:

Secrecy of the mail as well as secrecy of the post and telecommunications shall be inviolable"

Greece (Art. 19)*:

Secrecy of letters and all other forms of free correspondence or communication shall be absolutely inviolable

Hungary (Art. VI):

Everyone shall have the right to have his or her private and family life, home, communications and good reputation respected."

Italy (Art. 15)*:

Freedom and confidentiality of correspondence and of every other form of communication is inviolable.

Latvia (Art. 96):

Everyone has the right to inviolability of his or her private life, home and correspondence."

Lithuania (Art. 22):

Personal correspondence, telephone conversations, telegraph messages, and other communications shall be inviolable."

Malta (Art. 41):

No person shall be hindered in the enjoyment of [...] freedom from interference with his correspondence.

Poland (Art. 49):

The freedom and privacy of communication shall be ensured.

Portugal (Art. 34):

Personal homes and the secrecy of correspondence and other means of private communication shall be inviolable.

The Netherlands (Art. 13)*:

The privacy of correspondence shall not be violated, [...] The privacy of the telephone and telegraph shall not be violated

Austria, Luxembourg and France are outliers in that I didn't find anything in their constitutions during my brief little search.

Ok listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It's the old "I have nothing to hide" argument.

But here's the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn't mean it is ok for the government to see everyone's butthole. That's your right to privacy.

If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.

Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone's rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.

Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.

Is it really right to be weaponising children and minors into essentially constructing a totalitarian regime? Because, in my perspective they are using our young people as human shields to justify their hideous acts against humanity.

Pidgin 3.0 Experimental 4 (2.93.0) has been released!

We are ecstatic to announce that we have released the fourth experimental version of Pidgin 3.0!!! This is a pre alpha release with an official version number of 2.93.0. We will continue releasing in this fashion until we are ready for 3.0.0 which will be the release we consider ready for end users.

The release can be found on SourceForge and should show up on Flathub Beta shortly.

If you don’t want to use the Flathub Beta method, there are build instructions in the README for building a flatpak locally or installing into a meson devenv. Both methods avoid installing directly to your OS installation which is the preferred method as there is no easy way to uninstall.

About

Just like the previous experimental releases, this is a timed release. It is a snapshot of what we currently have and is something we think other tinkerers and developers may want to start playing with, but again, it is not meant for end users.

Most things are not implemented, the user interface has not been polished at all, and there are so so many bugs. As such we are asking that packagers please do not package this for your users yet as the potential support requests will be too much for us to handle at this time.

There's a number of things that unfortunately went unfinished for this release so you may notice more bugs than previous experimental releases. But like usual, there's still been plenty of progress for everyone to check out!

Looking forward, Experimental 5 is scheduled for 2025-12-31 and will have a version number of 2.94.0.

We have a bunch of tickets entered for Experimental 5, and you can keep an eye on the Burndown Chart for Experimental 5 to stay informed. As always, priorities and possibilities can and will change, so even if something is listed for this release that doesn’t mean it will be in the release until it’s actually completed.

If you would like monthly updates, be sure to check out the #state-of-the-bird posts!

Highlights

We have a bunch of highlights this release, but some are hard to show in text, but we'll do our best!

Developer Migration Guide

We have started the huge task of describing how to migrate code from Purple 2 to Purple 3. That document is available at docs.imfreedom.org/purple3/migrating.html.

This is for migration only. We're still looking at doing some sort of compatibility layer, but we don't want to put a lot of time into that until we're much more confident in the APIs not changing. We are also looking to do an architecture document as well that will explain some of the finer details of the APIs.

Backends

Many of our data sources need to be persisted when the program isn't running. We've done this a number of ways over the years, but in this release we have created a new pattern of using backends to abstract this out.

For example, a user interface can tell Purple.ConversationManager to not persist conversations or to persist them in a SQLite database using Purple.ConversationManagerSeagullBackend. Many more of these will be popping up in the future for the other managers.

Conversation Persistence

As mentioned above Purple now keeps track of your open conversations assuming the conversation manager was told to use a backend that persists data which Pidgin does by default.

This means you no longer have to add a channel to your contact list and tell it to auto join, it will just automatically happen for all conversations (dms, group dms, channel, etc) that were still open when you closed the program which matches the behavior of many modern clients.

New Application Icon

The one and only Hykle Bons has come out of retirement to create a new application icon for Pidgin 3 which you can see below. If you have any comments regarding it, there is a post for that over here.

Color Scheme Preference

You can finally chose to have Pidgin follow the system theme or force it into light or dark mode!

Octopuses Invade the English Coast, ‘Eating Anything in Their Path’ | The highly intelligent cephalopods filled fishing nets and gobbled up crabs and lobsters in Devon and Cornwall this summer.

According to Steve Simpson, a professor of marine biology at the University of Bristol, “climate change is a likely driver” of the population boom. “We are right on the northern limit of the octopus species range, but our waters are getting warmer, so our little island of Great Britain is becoming increasingly favorable for octopus populations,” he said.

The service grew into a massive platform, boasting over 60 billion memes, GIFs, and images viewed by its 150 million monthly users. Now, it has pulled out of the UK following a warning of potential fines from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Users in the region trying to access the site are met with the error message: Content not available in your region.

df showing a full (99%) ssd, but du only showing a fraction of that? UPDATED

I noticed the root drive of my home server (Debian) is at 99% capacity, which was odd to be because I don't store anything on the root ssd. sudo df -h confirms that 99% of my 256gb drive is full. But sudo du -sh * all added up, only comes to about 30gb.

This is a pc that only runs docker containers and one virtual machine for home assistant. And yes I have restarted, Any ideas as to how to find the missing 200+ gigabytes?

EDIT: sudo ncdu allowed me to find a 72gb [long string of characterless]-json.log file in /var/lib/docker/containers and many 1gb+ files in /var/lib/docker/overlay2. I'm not sure what to do with this information (or what's safe to delete) but I'm getting somewhere.

Where are you running du -sh *? (I.e. what directory, are you definitely scanning the whole file system?) I'm sure it's obvious, but can never hurt to check!

What does du -sh / show? (Generally, the * glob pattern in the shell will not match hidden dot-files, so is it possible they are being excluded?)

~~sudo du -sh / shows a list of three du: cannot access '/run/user/1000/gvfs' Permission denied and du: cannot access No such file or directory and a few cannot read directory invalid argument and at the end it shows 5.4T / which I assume is my root drive combined with what's in mnt.~~

Proposition 50: Authorizes Temporary Changes to Congressional District Maps in Response to Texas’ Partisan Redistricting. Legislative Constitutional Amendment. [NOV 05 2025 | California]

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/36665946

Proposition 50

Authorizes Temporary Changes to Congressional District Maps in Response to Texas’ Partisan Redistricting. Legislative Constitutional Amendment.
ANALYSIS OF MEASURE
BACKGROUND
U.S. Congress

U.S. Congress. The U.S. Congress is the part of the federal government that makes laws. Congress has two parts: the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives (House). Each of the 50 states is represented by 2 senators, with 100 senators in total. The House has 435 members. The number of representatives in the House for each state depends on how many people live in that state. Each member in the House represents an area of the state called a congressional district. California currently has 52 congressional districts. Voters who live in each congressional district elect one member of the House every two years to represent them. The next election for all 435 representatives will be in 2026.
U.S. Census Counts States’ Populations Every Ten Years. The number of people living in an area goes up and down over time. Every ten years, the U.S. Census counts the number of people who live in the U.S. The last census was in 2020, and the next census is in 2030. This count is used to determine how many people live in each state and how many representatives in the House each state gets for the next ten years.
Congressional Redistricting
Each State Draws Congressional District Maps Following the U.S. Census. Every ten years, after the U.S. Census is completed, states draw new congressional district maps to reflect their number of House representatives and where people live. This process is called “redistricting.” Each state decides what process to use to draw its new district maps. When drawing new maps, each state must follow federal laws. For example, each congressional district in the state must represent about the same number of people.
States Typically Do Not Redistrict Sooner Than Every Ten Years. States typically only draw congressional district maps every ten years, unless a court orders changes to comply with the law. In August 2025, however, the Texas Legislature passed a bill to adopt new maps for the 2026 elections without a court order. Several other states also are considering changes to their maps before the 2026 elections.
Congressional Redistricting in California. State legislatures draw congressional district maps in most states, but some states use commissions to do this job. Before 2010, the California Legislature drew the state’s congressional district maps. In 2010, California voters gave this job to an independent commission known as the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission). The Commission includes 14 members: 5 Democratic members, 5 Republican members, and 4 members who are not registered with either of those political parties. When the Commission draws new congressional district maps, it must follow federal and state laws. For example, state law requires, among other things, the Commission to avoid splitting up neighborhoods or local communities of interest to the extent possible. State law also prohibits the Commission from considering political parties, current office holders, or people running for office when it draws the maps.
Current California Congressional Districts. The Commission drew the current maps for California’s 52 congressional districts. These maps were based on the 2020 U.S. Census and have been used since the 2022 congressional elections.

PROPOSAL

California’s Congressional District Maps
Use Legislatively Drawn Congressional District Maps Until After the Next Census. Proposition 50 replaces California’s current congressional district maps with new, legislatively drawn maps. (The total number of districts would not change.) Proposition 50’s maps must follow federal law, but they are not required to follow the state requirements placed on the Commission. The state would use Proposition 50’s maps for congressional elections starting in 2026. The state would use these maps until the Commission draws new district maps, following the 2030 U.S. Census.
National Congressional Redistricting
Call for Change in Federal Law. Proposition 50 asks the U.S. Congress to change federal law and propose an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to require redistricting be done by “fair, independent, and nonpartisan redistricting commissions nationwide.” Proposition 50 expresses voter support for this idea, but does not change federal law or require any particular action of Congress or the California Legislature.
FISCAL EFFECTS
Minor One-Time Costs to County and State Elections Officials. Counties run elections, and the state oversees them. Because most congressional districts in California would change at least some under the new maps, county and state elections officials would need to update election materials. This would result in one-time costs to counties of up to a few million dollars statewide and one-time costs to the state of roughly $200,000. The state amount is much less than one-tenth of 1 percent (0.1 percent) of the state’s roughly $220 billion General Fund budget. (The General Fund is the account the state uses to pay for most public services, including education, health care, and prisons.)
CURRENT AND PROPOSED CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS
This section shows maps of the current and proposed congressional districts (1) statewide, as shown in Figures 1 and 2; (2) in the northern part of the state, as shown in Figures 3 and 4; and (3) in the southern part of the state, as shown in Figures 5 and 6. A description of the census blocks represented by each district in the proposed maps can be found at the following website: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fac…

Notice of Correction. Figure 2 in the analysis of Proposition 50 contained a typographical error. District 27, which is to the right of District 26, was incorrectly labeled as District 22. This typographical error has been corrected.
Figure 2 - Proposed Congressional Districts
Figure 3 - Current Northern Congressional Districts
Figure 4 - Proposed Northern Congressional Districts

YES/NO STATEMENT
A YES vote on this measure means: The state would use new, legislatively drawn congressional district maps starting in 2026. California’s new maps would be used until the California Citizens Redistricting Commission draws new maps following the 2030 U.S. Census.
A NO vote on this measure means: Current congressional district maps drawn by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission (Commission) would continue to be used in California until the Commission draws new maps following the 2030 U.S. Census.
SUMMARY OF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S ESTIMATE OF NET STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT FISCAL IMPACT
One-time costs to counties of up to a few million dollars statewide. County costs would be to update election materials to reflect new congressional district maps.

This is fluff. SB 243 is the real deal, which he already vetoed once.

The governor is also weighing another bill – SB 243 – that passed both the State Assembly and Senate with bipartisan support this month. The bill would regulate AI companion chatbots, requiring operators to implement safety protocols, and hold them legally accountable if their bots fail to meet those standards.

How the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action Decision Legitimized Stephen Miller

Miller’s role, The Guardian notes, helps account for the shaky legal justification the administration has provided for the attacks: The Trump administration claims the president was using his authority under Article II of the Constitution, based on the notion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua is a foreign terrorist organization. This recalls Miller’s repeated assertions that TdA is “running Venezuela” in his argument for deporting Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act.

The revelation about Miller’s role also recalls reports that he mused about bombing unarmed immigrants in boats as an adviser in the first Trump administration.

Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who resigned in Trump’s first term and became a vocal critic of the president, recounted an exchange between Miller and the then-commandant of the Coast Guard—which Miller vehemently denies—in his book Blowback.

How the Supreme Court Gave Cover to Stephen Miller’s Racist Agenda

The high court basically provided conservatives the template for the war on DEI.

Exactly. You know what is frictionless?

I use the site’s search bar to look up the item I want
I see which the suits my needs best out of the results
I click “buy now”

I’m sorry OpenAI, but there’s really no realistically better way to shop for things online.

Are you using a time machibe to access Amazon in the past? Because for me the experience looks more like this:

I type in "amazon.com" in my browser
I use the search bar and get a bunch of sponsored results that are not what I was searching for at all and all use the same garbage photoshopped photos
I scroll through pages upon pages of irrelevant dropshipped garbage offered by companies like JHUVOY, BRILGOVA and other random letters.
I finally find something that looks like it's not a cheap knockoff
I add it to my shopping cart and click through offers for Amazon prime and offers for dropshipped garbage that I might want to add to my cart.
I proceed to payment

Sigh, I really miss the old internet, I truly do...

Media and Medics Boat to Gaza to Launch Oct 1

NOTE 🚨: this is in addition to the current Global Sumud Flotilla coalition making its way to Gaza

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) will launch a dedicated boat carrying international journalists and medical professionals to Gaza on October 1, 2025

The boat is scheduled to sail by October 1 and plans to join the other FFC and Thousand Madleens to Gaza boats on their journey.

For nearly two years, Israel has denied foreign journalists entry into Gaza, creating one of the most severe press blackouts in recent history… At the same time, Gaza’s health system has been systematically dismantled under Israel’s siege and bombardment.

In response, the FFC is assembling a boat of journalists and healthcare professionals to:

Provide the international press an opportunity to report directly from Gaza
Deliver urgently needed medical expertise and solidarity alongside Gaza’s decimated health workforce.

Thoughts on stremio? And more generally, when should I worry about trackers?

Hi,

I've seen stremio pop up a few times in my feed recently and decided to give a look. It's seems like I could use it with torrentio, but my concern is that the apps comes with a few trackers, amongst which 3 facebook trackers (share, login & analytics).

I don't know much about trackers, how they work, and what I should worry about, so I mostly try to avoid them, but could someone here tell me if I should worry about these facebook trackers (I don't use fb, but since it's pretty much the Devil itself...), and maybe suggest resources on how to get informed on trackers, what they do, and when to worry about it?

Thank you for your help.

Cheers,

Upgrading video quality for non-English content?

I find myself downloading a lot of movies that are dubbed in latino Spanish. I've checked fmhy torrents, but unfortunately, there just isn't a lot of latino Spanish content available on torrents.

(Yes, there is a lot of Spanish Spanish content... but... meehhh...)

However, I have had better luck with fmhy streaming. It's not the best quality, 720p or 1080p if I'm lucky. But it's better than nothing.

I was recently wondering, how does dubbing actually work? Is there a video difference between English and Spanish movies? Or is there just literally an audio track being swapped out?

Could I take an audio track from a 720p stream and add it to a 4K torrented movie file and expect the audio and video to line up?

For content from streaming platforms like Netflix, the audio and video lines up most of the time. The dub might be a bit longer at the end, but that doesn't matter; it's only the credits.

For Blu-ray and DVDs, it's a bigger problem. The audio and video lines don't usually line up: different production company logos of different lengths and maybe minor regional differences. You could probably adjust the audio delay in the video player to get a decent experience.

mpv is good video player where it is easily possible to play the video from one file and the audio from another.

You already had some good advices but something I haven't seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.

This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.

Hungary bans 12 Ukrainian media outlets

Hungary blocked 12 Ukrainian media outlets in response to Kyiv's earlier ban on several foreign publications over Russian narratives, Hungarian Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas said on Sept. 29.

Several Hungarian media outlets were among those temporarily restricted in Ukraine by an order by the State Special Communications Service on Sept. 8

According to Gulyas, Ukraine blocked the Hungarian outlets Origo and Demokrata because they "dared to write critically about the policy of sanctions against Russia, Ukraine's armed support, and portray the EU and NATO as fragmented and ineffective organizations."

Gulyas described the ban on Hungarian outlets in Ukraine as "a completely unjustified attack."

The list of 12 banned Ukrainian media outlets in Hungary includes several popular sources such as Ukrainska Pravda, European Pravda, NV, hromadske and TSN.

"With Ukraine's accession, the EU would only become more fragmented," Gulyas wrote on Facebok.

The news marks the most recent point of tension amid strained relations between Kyiv and Budapest.

Hungary is broadly seen as the most Kremlin-friendly government in the EU and NATO. The country has consistently obstructed aid to Ukraine and sanctions against Russia throughout the full-scale war.

Ukraine applied for EU membership shortly after Russia launched its war in 2022 and was granted candidate status within months.

As an EU member, Hungary has veto power over further progress.

Last week, reconnaissance drones likely belonging to Hungary had violated Ukraine's airspace along the border, President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Budapest rejected the allegations.

Hungarian drones breach Ukraine's airspace, Zelensky says

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces recorded drone incursions over border areas and that preliminary assessments suggest the unmanned aircraft were "conducting reconnaissance on the industrial potential of Ukraine's border areas."

Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say

PeakMetrics grabbed a sample of 52,000 posts made on X within the first 24 hours of Cracker Barrel’s announcement that it would be modernizing its logo to an admittedly very plain and generic design. In that timeframe, it found that 44.5% of all mentions of Cracker Barrel were flagged as likely or higher bot activity. Those numbers climb even higher when a boycott is mentioned. About 1,000 posts in that first 24-hour period called on people to stop eating at Cracker Barrel, and 49% of those posts got flagged as likely coming from bots. In its report, PeakMetrics states that the boycott was unlikely to be an organic grassroots response but a “bot-assisted amplification seeded by meme/activist accounts.”

More than 100,000 federal workers to quit on Tuesday in largest ever mass resignation

Workers preparing to leave the government have described how months of “fear and intimidation” left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.

“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) told the Guardian. “That’s why I left.”
