K3B recommends MovxMaker-2 a program that hasn't been updated in 10 years?

First, I was a little surprized that K3B wasn't on my KDEneon install by default, but then after I thought about it, it makes sense. Most laptops don't even have CD/DVD rom drives any more and who uses CD's?

Anyway, I received a music CD as a gift and I wanted to load it onto my server for listening enjoyment, so I installed K3B to rip it to flac. Note the suggested packages:

sudo apt [FONT=monospace][COLOR=#000000]install k3b [/COLOR]

MoviXMaker-2 hasn't been updated since 2007, however it's still available in Debian Wheezy, albeit under "oldoldstable" utils. I just thought it was weird that k3b still recommends it.

Maybe there was a case for that for a while, in case people got it from another source, and just a 'suggests' doesn't cause issues.

However seems utterly pointless now.

Awesome, thanks.

Two & 1/2 years ago, when I switched to Neon User Edition with BTRFS, I didn't install K3b because I hadn't burned a CD or DVD for a couple years even before then. I had switched to using USB sticks.

Earlier this year I thought my HD was failing so I ordered a replacement. When I opened the back to replace the HD I discovered that this Acer V3-771G had TWO HD ports, so I put the new HD in the second port instead, because information from members of this forum made it clear to me that my HD wasn't failing, so I left it in. I bought a Linux compatible HD Caddy from Amazon for $11 and took out the CDROM and stuck in the caddy with another new 750HD riding in it. Now I have three 750Gb HDs. Two are configured as RAID1 and one is used as a second pool for storage of snapshots.

Enter fiber optic. My apt was just wired up for fiber optic last week. It hasn't been turned on yet and I am still deciding between 100Mb or 1Gb. Either way, the speed down and up will be the same, and Allo doesn't have a monthly data cap. Even though my current Spectrum connection claims to be 60Mb, and speed tests show a "max" at that level although not consistently, my actual average speeds are half the max, and my actual DL speed maxes at 18-20Mbps and my UL maxes at 6Mbps.

IF I decide on 1Gb then I will probably install IPFS or NetZero on the third HD, if either of those protocols are compatible with BTRFS, which I think they are. And, I am wondering if I could create an IPFS image or link of KFN and/or of Neon?
