Does anyone here know how money transfers like this actually work? Stacks of $100s? Armored carriages full of doubloons? Briefcases exchanged at the train station?

I tried moving mine over to Linux and it broke streaming from devices to Kodi.
Now, I’m sure I could spend a day banging my head against google and mucking with my Docker containers to get it working, but I decided it’s not really worth the effort.
If you need a project, I’d go ahead and set up the server with a small library and see if all the features that are important to you are working. Then give it the full library.
But in general, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

What Improvements Would You Like To See In Free/Libre, Open Source Music Software?

Hey guys, forgive me if I’m posting in the wrong place, but I have a talent for understanding audio very well. I just finished implementing a sequencer and a synthesizer in C, just for fun. Now that I’m done, I feel pretty good about this project, and I feel like there’s no reason not to keep going, but I don’t know what...

I love the spectral view in Adobe Audition and would be happy to leave it if Audacity (or whichever fork people like) would implement something similar.

I’ve settled on water stones, at least for the moment: 1000, 4000, and 8000 grit. I use a Veritas Mk. 2 sharpening jig. I also have a slow-speed grinder for major reshaping.
I true the stones on a cinder block, but I don’t have to do it very often.
I suggest you take a look at Christopher Schwarz’s ‘Sharpen This’ series from his blog:

Where do you stand on AI in music production?

A conversation popped up on another platform about the role of AI in music production, generally as its used in the mastering process. Now I’m not sure how much AI that actually involves and see it more as a set of rules that will map your song or music to a contemporary ‘good mix’… basically control the EQ, RMS peak and...

I figured you’d be concerned about music generating AI.
Personally, I’m all for it. In the early days of image generation AI you’d see lots of wild abstract outputs from the intermediate layers/processes. If we can get music to sound like that I think it would be amazing.
The thing about algorithmically generated art is that it’s basically a faucet - turn it on and get as much as you want. So there’s a danger of oversaturation, but that’s basically the case in a lot of genres of human-generated music already. It makes valuing art tricky.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any AI-generated music that seems interesting.

So, Divinity Original Sin 4?

I hate to say it, but it’s probably an acceptable amount of flatness for a jobsite saw. I’m willing to bet their cast iron offerings have better tolerances. You do have the safety features, though.

I’d be surprised if Grizzly’s CEO were making that kind of multiplier vs. the average employee.
I think some of it might be Grizzly gaining legitimacy as a power tool manufacturer. Their earlier reputation (deserved or not) would have been closer to that of Harbor Freight’s today. Now they’re known to be a solid brand and they can charge a little more.
That doesn’t account for the Besseys, which are off the fuckin’ wall.

AMillionMonkeys,
@AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world avatar

Excellent information! Yeah, it seemed to me that the cost increase was more than just inflation. As I said elsewhere in the thread, my impression is that their reputation for quality tools has grown, so that must account for some of the extra price. The 2003 catalog is their 20th anniversary. Maybe that means they were too established to be selling under cost to gain market share?
We’ll see if we’re doing the same thing with a Harbor Freight catalog in 20 years.

I can’t recall ever seeing a recipe for a shop-built jointer, though

Maybe not a powered one…

ATX is ATX. The spec is remarkably stable. You’ll miss front-panel USB-C, though, if you put a newer motherboard in it.

I just recently got the 17" Grizzly myself. The other choice was the Laguna 1412. I’m sure I’d be happy with either but the decision came down to Grizzly being able to deliver to the house. You need to be prepared to get a ~300lb. crate from the curb into your shop. There’s no guarantee the driver will help you - and if they do you should tip.
You have to consider power, too. The 2HP Grizzly comes wired 220V, so you need service to wherever the saw goes, plus a plug and an outlet from the hardware store.
The blade it comes with is almost useless - too high TPI. I’d ordered a 5/8", 6-TPI blade and it came before the saw did, so that’s what I started with.

I’m curious, when was the last time you were surreptitiously recorded?

I used one happily for ages, then something changed with the filters you could get at the grocery and it stopped draining properly. I took the opportunity to get a V60 and that’s been my daily driver.

One of these days I’ll read through the PEP and figure out why Python doesn’t have do-while. I understand that it’s just as bad, but while(True) feels so dangerous.

AMillionMonkeys,
@AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not - it just feel more dangerous somehow.

The clear Case Mate one they were selling on the Google Store when I bought my 6a. Up until this phone I’d never used a case and never broken a phone, but for whatever reason I decided to put this one in a case. It’s probably survived two drops it wouldn’t have otherwise, so that’s nice.

My C1 will play videos off a thumb drive you stick in it. You could move the videos to a thumb drive, or find an adapter, plug the phone into the TV and maybe mount it for file transfer?

I’m not sure if I’m enjoying it yet. I’m only 4 hours in and it feels like Divinity Original Sin 3 and not a Baldur’s Gate game. Maybe that’s fine, but it’s not what I was expecting.
The combat seems more complicated and I’m having to rest after even basic encounters, but I guess that’s the way BG1 was too.
Still messing with the graphics settings to get it to look decent and run ~60FPS on my creaky old Vega 56.
