A native Floridian, I am fascinated by all forms of musical expression, but I cut my teeth on heavy metal. My first five shows were Dio, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, and Exodus. I am an avid progger and free / classical jazz man, too. I welcome and encourage discussion.

While I'd say I am political, I make it a point to discuss such things on my blog, which I'll be setting up shortly.

I am a music gear nerd and Linux expert, questions are always welcome.

Has anybody had success mounting a Windows 11 share using CIFS under Linux? I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong on the Windows end. The feature is installed, users / passwords is turned off, the Everyone group has read access. There is something I can try that's been bugging me, knowing how goofy Windows is. SAMBA is much easier to implement than this schlock...

Before work, I had Arthur rob a train with the bros and captured some bounties! While this was incredibly profitable, robbing trains will be a quest activity only. As it would be tricky to pull off well solo. Bounties are easier to capture and it helps me keep Arthur’s honor fairly high.

I upgraded my guns after getting this big payday; getting incredibly distracted due to random events out in the RDR2 world. One day, I’ll hunt small game for a quest. 🤣

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds I'd like to get this game. Is it better than the first one?

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Thanks, buddy. I'll take your advice...

@cory The extent of my Halloween watching is probably only going to be the original and 'Halloween II'. But still nice to know that someone is keeping up with them...

Gonna watch a little Brew Crew and listen to music. I now have another team to follow... ;>) @HailsandAles @fistfulofdave

@HailsandAles @fistfulofdave Should be interesting since Chicago basically poached Craig Counsell away from Milwaukee...

Like scuzzy, fast lo-fi punk? Do I have an EP for YOU.

'Pop Off', the new 4-song EP by the Gobs came out on Saturday and it riiiips.

Some of the songs aren't even a minute long! My kind of jams! Seriously, you can listen to this whole EP in just around 5 minutes. 😂

@jake4480 Listening now. They're so short, I can stack one album on another, and it's still less than 30 minutes! ;>)

@jake4480 I got the UHD for this. Looking forward to checking it out even if it isn't my favorite horror film in the world.

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@jake4480 I know, buddy... ;>) I love Hellraiser, too. TCM is a cool flick for what it is. I've never seen the sequels / prequels, but if any are Rob Zombie related, you can forget about it. I think his stuff is absolute garbage.

@jake4480 Who did the original Saws? I could look it up, but what fun would that be? ;>)

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@jake4480 I was talking about 'Saw' itself. I've seen all those, too, for some reason. I guess the premise is very compelling to me... ;>)

I'm having a debate in my head. Has anyone ever felt the need to organize their files or CDs by genre? As I rebuild my collection, I wonder if this will help me focus on what I want or need to hear...

Pressing "R" inside the Firefox PDF viewer rotates a page.

I wish I had known this earlier.

2024 marks the 45th anniversary of sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien, which was released May 25, 1979.

The first time I saw it I was pretty young, it was on TV and censored. We actually had it recorded on a VHS from TV, which is something my family did a lot. I only saw the full uncensored version years later! 😂

@jake4480 @horror I believe the correct phrase is 'edited for time and content'. ;>) Love this film. Did end up seeing it in the theater a few weeks back, and I watched UHD version a few days ago. There really isn't much to edit in this film, and if you do, you end up losing some iconic, pivotal moments. It's a stone cold classic!

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@jake4480 Agreed. I mean, what's the point if you're going to butcher a film? There's hardly any gore in 'Alien', and you absolutely cannot edit out the young alien's emergence.

@HailsandAles As far as your Styx playlist goes, I have my buddy Jon, who is also an expert, working on his, and I will compare our two for your best possible experience... ;>)

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles I should. I haven't checked in in a long while. Let me get on that...

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles OK. I need to install the program and check in...

@HailsandAles Christ almighty, now Discord is making it as insane as possible to login...

@HailsandAles Their verification links don't work. Let me try later today and see if I can get some traction on this...

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles But that was a good idea, buddy. I'll bore you to tears with all the baseball trivia. ;>) I'm sorry to say that it's not very metal, dude. Although, I think Chipper Jones used to use 'Crazy Train' as his walk up song...

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles No problem! I got you! ;>)

wendigo,
@wendigo@metalhead.club avatar

@HailsandAles Well, I'll shut up at some point, but a site everyone interested in the sport should familiarize themselves with is Baseball Reference. This is your bible, mate...
