So what do you suggest?

Also second statement needs proofs, I know they stopped supporting them but there's no better alternative.

Literally who? The grsecurity people shoahed the patchsets unless you pay alot of money for (((special support))). The old patch sets are fine if you have them but who the fuck is going to preserve those patches over linux kernel versions? Some faggot gentoo user? No (((they))) will kill anyone who preserves them publicaly, eventually. Or at the very least target their supplying of the patches for subversion should it ever get popular again. GCC 8.0 is fucked because of (((performance improvements))) amongst other things like meson.


 No.837680>>837690 >>848969

Already knew about this, the (((bourgeoisie))) stopped giving patches for free. It's the gentoo hardened team that fail to support the current set wifi any new set of patches I thought you were talking about.

It's no use complaining unless you may have some other more secure alternative.

Nope, works fine with ReplayGain. Maybe something on your system is outdated or broken.

>>848929

ReplayGain is a feature is a lot of music players that normalizes volume across your music library, so if you have a vinyl rip and a brickwalled remaster track on the same playlist, the remastered track and the vinyl rip have the same volume instead of you having to keep an eye on your volume knob. Great stuff.

Since I picked up a cheapo Apple 5thgen 120GB ipod to replace my dead Sansa Clip I need to flash it.

Also, are there free replacement firmwares for homebrew consoles? I'm wondering because I got a PSP to hack around with.

Opus uses ITU-R BS.1770-4 (also known as EBU R128) instead of replaygain (and it's better), but a lot of players don't like those tags. Simply use opus in ogg and all your problems are solved.
