I ask Google Bard "What's the difference between Funtoo and Gentoo?"

Bard replies: Both Funtoo and Gentoo are Arch Linux-based distributions known for their source-based installation and high degree of customization. While they share a lot of similarities, there are some key differences to consider:

I checked, and both Gentoo and Arch initially released in March 2002, although Arch is older by 20 days.

Deborah Meaden, Kojey Radical, Lenny Rush, Steve Backshall and Zoe Ball compete(d) for the 2024 NYT prize on Channel 4 or YouTube. (A bit late, since it's the 4th now, but ah well)

Let's discuss tasks and contestants!

I'm really confused how Deborah Meaden didn't know how a toaster worked, even with an aga - has she never seen a Tom and Jerry cartoon!?

Kojey Radical is clearly a fan and should have come on the main show, and I was wrong to be worried that having the child Lenny Rush on would take off the edge (even though I think the did self-censor a little).

Do you watch any of the other Taskmaster versions?

We watch the UK one (of course), plus the NZ one in my house (their second series is brilliant). I tried the US one but I'm not sure I even got through the first episode.

I've heard that the Norwegian (or was it the Danish?) Taskmaster was good but I haven't tried yet. There's quite a few to chose from now, too many for me to try myself.

Veteran film collector John Franklin believes the answer is for the BBC to announce an immediate general amnesty on missing film footage.

This would reassure British amateur collectors that their private archives will not be confiscated if they come forward and that they will be safe from prosecution for having stored stolen BBC property, something several fear.

“Some of these collectors are terrified,” said Franklin, who knows the location of the two missing Doctor Who episodes, along with several other newly discovered TV treasures, including an episode of the The Basil Brush Show, the second to be unearthed this autumn. “We now need to catalogue and save the significant television shows that are out there. If we are not careful they will eventually be dumped again in house clearances, because a lot of the owners of these important collections are now in their 80s and are very wary,” he added.

Discarded TV film was secretly salvaged from bins and skips by staff and contractors who worked at the BBC between 1967 and 1978, when the corporation had a policy of throwing out old reels. And Hartnell’s Doctor Who episodes were far from the only ones to go. Many popular shows were lost and other Doctor Who adventures starring Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee were either jettisoned or erased. A missing early episode of the long-running sitcom Sykes, starring Eric Sykes and Hattie Jacques, has also been rediscovered in private hands in the last few weeks.

...

The BBC said it was ready to talk to anyone with lost episodes. “We welcome members of the public contacting us regarding programmes they believe are lost archive recordings, and are happy to work with them to restore lost or missing programmes to the BBC archives,” it said.

Whether this will be enough to prompt nervous collectors to come forward is doubtful. While collectors are in no real danger, the infamous arrest of comedian Bob Monkhouse in 1978 has not been forgotten, Franklin suspects: “Monkhouse was a private collector and was accused of pirating videos. He even had some of his archive seized. Sadly people still believe they could have their films confiscated.”

For those outside the UK they did a premier on YouTube and here's the video:

If it's a buzzword bingo, then where are all the insects and their noises?

I've made a Last.fm API key but at the point of adding it to Navidrome I wondered why I was bothering; is this option only there because of backwards compatibility or is there a tangible benefit?

I've been holding off upgrading since I'd heard bad things, but I can't actually remember what those bad things were.

Is it worth the upgrade? The only thing I don't like is that Foobar seems to only save tabs ("playlists") when it closes, which means if my machine crashes/hard resets then it reverts to an old set.
