Comment on The 5 Best Command Line Music Players for Linux by ben

My favourite songs are from Hillsong and that one in your playlist is a nice one too, though I am not sure if “…hurts like hell…” is appropriate or fits the theme at all. Anyhow, it’s not as good as I Surrender, or Holy Spirit Rain Down, but still it is good to know we are not alone ;-)

I came across your article because I am looking for an alternative for VLC (well, it’s cvlc), which is currently the hearth of my media server, which is basically a headless Raspberry PI zero W integrated with my AB amplifier and with a sound card.

I am a bit surprised it is not on your top 5 list despite it supports different interfaces (cli, web, windows included) and I believe it supports a greater variety of codecs than the above 5 together. Anyhow, I am sure you had a good reason for not including it, but do you know if any of the players on your list have a web interface or if they can be used as a service in the background that can accept further CLI commands from the terminal, like “MediaPlayer pause” or “MediaPlayer addtoplaylist mysong.mp3”? My use case cannot be satisfied without some of these.

Comment on How I Switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint by Mike

About once per year, I try to switch from Windows to Linux. Right now I’m testing Mint. Sorry to say it’s going to be a non-starter. When I can’t even share my Windows printers without pages of arcane commands it’s a no-go.

I run into this every time I try to switch. Yes, there’s lots of help on the web, but it all assumes you are comfortable with all of the terminology and command syntax required.

I keep hoping. Maybe next year.

Yes, ps -ef | grep -i is the best way to check for any process running. You can also use the top command to check the same.

Comment on Tecmint’s Guide to Red Hat RHCSA / RHCE Certification Based on RHEL 8 by Karol Dworakowski

The RHCSA/RHCE Chapter 11 read: Firewalld & IPtables but I was under the impression that Firewalld runs on the NFtables framework starting with RHEL8? Is this not correct? Or does the RHCSA/RHCE 8 course objectives require iptables to be implemented?
