The only console I ever spent a lot of time with was the NES, so I'm not at all native to the modern XBox / Play Station controller with its 166 buttons. But I know that some games are best with a controller, so I bought a Steam Controller and an XBox controller. I made it most of the way through Nier Automata with the Steam Controller, but I put the game down for some reason or another. I also gave Hades (what I think was) a good effort, but I never made it out and I stopped caring.
The only game I've completed with a controller is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which you really shouldn't play with m+k, if it's even possible. I'd never try to play an FPS with a controller.

Rats eating pasta is THE best thing. Get them carbs in.

Masochism, paranoia.

Hot damn. They lost it more than we won it, but whatever.

Another vote for Debian, and I'll suggest you go ahead and install Jellyfin directly rather than messing with Docker.
https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server
I'd been running JF under Docker on my NAS, but when I moved to a new server I decided to just install it directly and it hasn't been any problem at all. You'll get a notification when it needs to be updated and it's just a few clicks to do so. You won't have to fight with Docker to get hardware acceleration working - which isn't to say it won't be a PITA, but it's one less layer of complication.

I'm interested in this too. I have unreleased music that I've made and it somehow generates reasonable similarities to other music in my library. It can't be simply pulling the info from the net since the artist name I'm using isn't out there anywhere. Some kind of spectral analysis maybe?

Unless you're going the hand tool purist route, the table saw is IMO the central tool in the shop. It can rip, cross-cut, and cut joinery like dados and tenons. So you want a good one with a solid fence that won't frustrate you. I haven't been in the market for one in a while, so my suggestions will be out of date, but I'm sure others here can help you.
When you're starting out you'll probably be buying your wood S4S: surfaced four sides, so it's smooth and pretty much ready to go. This is how all the wood at the big-box hardware stores comes. Wood from specialty dealers will come rough, and you can surface it yourself with the right tools ($$$) or have them do it for you for a fee ($).
It's probably best to start with a project in mind, even if it's shop shelving or something that doesn't have to be heirloom-quality.

Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.

The 1% of China? I mean, I'm sure they have an elite, but the 1% thing is usually pointed out as a sore spot for capitalism.

Very elegant! How did you cut the tapers on the legs? There doesn't seem to be a great way to do it. I'd use the table saw with a custom jig probably.

I'm not using disk encryption. It's a desktop and if it's every stolen I've got bigger problems.
Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can't just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Interesting. As much as I'm a Foobar2000 fan, it's not open source. Looks like I'll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

So you're suggesting that all scammers are skilled.

Sorry, I'm not sure - like I said, I'm on a Pi.

The Nvidia Shield seems to be the gold standard, but it's kind of pricey. I'm using a Raspberry Pi (2? 3?) running LibreElec with the Jellyfin plugin. It works great for video but has some issues with music playlists. You could also try a cheap Onn box from Walmart.

Better light outside and the patio was a mess.

It's a real dilemma.

Thank you! It was made specifically for a Fender P bass, which is not particularly delicate. I have another one with a different design that I made for my acoustic, but that stand is more of a prototype made out of pine and not as impressive.
I do like the idea of moving the 'head' forward so it cradles the neck. I only just had enough stock to make this (well, without cutting into some bigger, nicer boards) so I didn't have a lot of room for features or experimentation.

It would be improved by some googly eyes.
But then, what wouldn't?

The neighbors love me.

Good call. I have some old suede slippers sitting around that I was going to use for strops - but if there's enough material I could use them for this. The bass I made it for contacts the spine at its metal neckplate, so that doesn't need cushioning, but the body does.

I'm pretty happy with Pixels for the moment, so it's a $5 USB-C to 1/8" dongle for me. That or the Pixel Buds I got for free as as promo with the phone. I've never had to charge and use the converter at the same time, but I believe there are cheap dongles that can do that too.

Seriously. I was worried about pitching coming into the season, but the bats have been... less than dominant lately.

you are better off buying xiaomi/poco

If they have the cell bands you want in the US - which they don't necessarily.

If anyone is listening: sorry about the bot. The library it uses to interact with Lemmy broke and I haven't had the opportunity to update things fully yet.
Go O's!

If the crashes are seemingly at random when transcoding I would suspect overheating hardware. Transcoding uses more energy and produces more heat than playing directly. If it were a software issue it would either work or not.

If you're into Aeropress and want to experiment, check out the Aeromatic app. It has dozens of recipes and uses a timer to step you through them. You'll need a scale. It also tries to account for the grind size you get from your particular model of grinder. I'm not sure how accurate its compensation is, but it should get you in the ballpark.

Thanks. FWIW there are a couple of apps called Tuner on F-Droid. The one by Michael Moessner seems to be better maintained.

Beat me to it.

I use an ancient guitar tuner app called Pitch Lab. Tiny, no ads. It's great. If they don't kill it this round it feels like it will be soon.
Anyone have a suggestion for a replacement?

Shit. I did the crossword, not the jumble. Give me a sec.

You can already do this, but it's not at all intuitive. So I'm glad they're making it easier.

Quick! Someone tell us why this isn't a good thing because the government did it! Surely there's some secret corruption at work!

It's like a Sokal Hoax for STEM.

I've got a cable DVR and a Raspberry Pi running LibreElec plugged into it.
I've only experimented a little with gaming since I don't own a console and my PC is in another room. I had the whatever the Steam software is installed on the Pi for awhile, so I could stream games from the PC.

‘splurging’ on a dumb tv

This might not be the best advice if money is an object, but some LG OLEDs can be rooted simply by visiting a website:

So you get a top-quality screen and complete control over the software.
Personally, I've never connected my LG OLED to the internet and it works just great.

Looks like a lot of info is shared through the manufacturer's app which interacts with the car. Easy to avoid if you don't install the app.
What we're all here looking to avoid is the car itself uploading data. The article isn't as clear about that, I guess since it depends so much on your exact model of vehicle.

Poor Dr. Worm!

Especially since modern desktop environments will have a gesture or something to give you a preview of all your open windows. What's annoying is that they all seem to shuffle the spatial order of the window previews whenever they feel like it.
