I broke a little with #SvelteKit idioms here insofar as I have Pages merely pass a context object into a #Svelte component.
This in turn allows me to utilise #Storybook to describe the interface in different configurations (I have tests in place as well).
It's still early days but we tackle one page at a time to build up this #Federated#Forge (F2 for short).
In case you are interested in translating, hit me up. Be warned that things might move around or get dropped. I prefer early feedback to easily correct course if needed.
When it comes to using a PC or even a laptop, most everyone wants speakers to be able to listen to music, videos or just sound in general. There are certainly millions of options out there to choose from which means you can get something cheap, expensive, large, small or whatever.
Thanks to the awesome folks over at RedragonShop, I was sent over a set of their Redragon Anvil GS520 computer speakers. The question is, for the price of $39.99 how do these speakers deliver when it comes to sound as that’s obviously the most important feature when it comes to a set of speakers.

The Redragon Anvil GS520 are very lightweight and are the usual plug and play set of speakers. They plug into an AC outlet on the wall or a power strip, then plug into the back of the PC. There are no drivers or anything else which makes them easy to use on a PC, laptop or anything that has a 3.5mm jack.
The speakers have control buttons for both volume up and volume down. Simply press the + sign to turn up the volume and press the – to turn it down. My one complaint here is that I wish they were either touch capacitive or it was a volume knob. Having actual buttons that get pushed seem a bit old school, but it works nonetheless.
https://www.seerofsouls.com/wp-content/themes/groovy/assets/images/transparent.gifSince the Redragon Anvil GS520 comes with RGB lighting, there is a button on the top of the right speaker that allows you to change the colors between 6 different settings. Simple press of the button changes the color and again, there’s no special software that’s needed for the RGB lighting.
As is the case with any speaker review, the question asked most is all about sound quality. So where does the Redragon Anvil GS520 stand in that department you ask?
Let me start off by saying, these aren’t Bose speakers by any means, which is what I’ve used for the past 6 – 7 years on my PC. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t good.
As stated originally, these speakers currently cost $39.99 so they are what you obviously call affordable speakers. For me, I tested them on my daily PC when viewing Twitch streams, watching YouTube and listening to Spotify.
Sound quality was clear and crisp, even when turned all the way up, though turning speakers all the way up isn’t something I normally do and certainly don’t suggest.
When listening to music that had a bit of bass to it, the bass came through the speakers very well. It wasn’t overpowering or under impressive in any way. The bass didn’t override the lows and highs or anything similar and kept the listening experience ideal.
Throw in the fact that the speakers do have RGB lighting is an extra bonus in my book. As we all know, RGB is something that a lot of people enjoy and want, and while it’s certainly not going to light up a room, it gives a nice touch to the speakers as they sit on your desk or table or whatever you might use.

I just discovered #Anvil and it is great! The company behind this "low code" platform has manage to fulfill the secret dream of most back-end programmers: to "get rid" of all the shambolic code normally associated with front-end and being able to develop full-stack web applications only with the help of a drag and drop UI editor and #Python functions: https://anvil.works/
Their documentation is very good but I also found out a huge tutorial put together by an external developer which can teach you from building a simple interactive "Hello World" app to a classified ad site: https://pythonanvil.com/
@HailsandAles@derthomas@jayes Oh man! This is one of my favourite Anvil albums! Daggers and Rum is a terrific song! It's Your Move has a really good groove to it. Ambushed, Run Like Hell and Die For A Lie are also great tracks. Honestly, this is a really good record - especially for a band that has been at it for over 30 years at that point.
My #TopTen favourite albums. I'm not saying these are the BEST albums of all time, but these are my ten favourite albums to listen to.
How I did it: I was way easier than I thought. First I listed out about 100 albums that I really like. Then I narrowed it down to just ONE album per band/artist. From there, it was pretty easy to pick out the ten I prefer the most.
These are listed in alphabetical order (not order of preference).
Next up is a Canadian band: Metal On Metal by Anvil. This was their second record, and it's got some fantastic bangers on it as well as some melodious songs. Hard to pick a fav off this... I love the title track, plus 666 and oddly Stop Me (a lighter song) is fantastic too. If you've never listened to Anvil, I very much encourage you to give them a try!
It's #PirateLife as the theme for #TuneTuesday, so sea shanties, pirate songs and anything sea-related. I have a lot of folk music that covers this, so I may be here a while.
@sheepnik Ah! I have the perfect song for #PirateLife on this #TuneTuesday. "Daggers and Rum" by Anvil! It's one of the best songs that nobody has ever heard.
When an item has the Materialist enchantment, it can be repaired in an anvil with that item's "repair material" as many times as the player wants to do so, without the anvil's "too expensive!" being a barrier....
Ok let’s try something different.
For the #anvil collection in my #forge I have been looking for a traditional #Chinese bread loaf anvil. Something like the one below.
Can Mastodon find one for me?
Please #boost this, #translate it to Chinese if you can.
Another Anvil/Mending Fix idea
