  • I’ve had one of those (battery died, unfortunately) and if you’d look at its files, you’d notice that they are organized in a different structure than what an MP3 player might expect.

    iPod_Control\Music’s sudirectories might contain some songs, but the filenames are hashes (corresponding to the entry in the iPod db). The metadata and the contents are perfectly fine, and you can play the file yourself via a different player (you can probably test it in your computer).

    I suggest you just connect the iPod through the 3.5mm output audio jack or find a 3.5mm audio output to Bluetooth transmitter adapter.


    EDIT:

    WTF. I triple posted. My bad. I deleted the two others, also corrected some minor typos and mistakes.



  • The Arch Wiki (and possibly other Arch websites, but when I checked I wasn’t able to catch it) uses Anubis (https://anubis.techaro.lol/) to mitigate AI crawlers causing issues on their servers. Anubis works by making your computer do some computations before being let in. For users like you and me, it’d be a minor inconvenience, but for these AI crawlers, it’d cost them a lot of computation as they hit these sites a huge number of times.

    Using Anubis is said to be a nuclear option, but as these AI crawlers don’t care about that, sites, especially FOSS ones, started using it.
