I’ve trusted this site for a long time. https://shucks.top/

I got you fam. I’ve been making a decent monthly donation for years. Consider one of those on your behalf!

Not the exact answer you’re looking for, but a $500 Mac mini would be a fantastic solution. That or an entry level MacBook Air.

I run Linux on my desktop for most things but all my music production is done on MacBooks. If you want a turn key solution, this is the way.

Every vst, midi device and mixing console I have just works. Well worth the sub $1000 investment.

Hell, my touring setup runs off a 8 year old MacBook Pro you could likely pick up for under $400.

I’d argue the most effective anticheat is dedicated servers. Admin’ed a lot of CS, TFC, and Q3 servers growing up and it was easy enough to kick/ban any one hacking or being an unrepentant dick. Downside for the corps is, you can’t gate all that dlc as easy when users have control.

Was the soldered CMOS different than the removable one? I fought the battery (removable) in mine for a year or two and eventually just shelved it. Would love to get it running as a low energy emulation station if it’s salvageable

Jesus Christ. Was over there from the states last year and Ireland is a lovely country (if yer not a cunt to the locals). Have some friends from there coming this way next month. Hope this doesn’t fuck it up.

So exhausted by this oppressive regimes ability to crush every bit of hope and happiness we might try to have.

I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y’all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.

And agreed on the pine faces. I’ve been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.

For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.

Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.

IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:

I’ve been considering a pair of X-reals out of curiosity but they are right at the tipping point for tech I may not use enough to justify the purchase. Even the price drop in the article still isn’t quite enough.

I don’t think its good per se but I can see the value in your point. Especially in regards to it just being a distraction. Everyone is sure honed in a map rename when there’s other more legitimate issues to address.

But, gulf of America nonsense makes easier distraction headlines.

Posted above, I’ll drop it here as well, requestarr performs the same service but via discord.

Layering on top of that (I’m sorry to recommend a discord app) but, Requestarr is awesome as well. It allows you to attach a bot to a channel and request up through Overseer, Sonarr or Radarr. Works for local and remote users.

Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.

Yt-dlp still works thankfully.

Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.

Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.

A bit of a bummer after recently donating.

While I somewhat agree, my key (pun intended) inference was that they’ve offered the key caps as a standalone purchase for quite some time and I don’t think those are selling well so now you can get a bundle with a board to help move stock. The opposing point being there are likely boards that are superior in a similar price range you could combine with the standalones.

If you’re a lotr fan this very likely doesn’t matter.

Feels like they’ve had a hard time selling these caps so now they’re bundling them with a mid board.

Not sure there’s any value here unless the price drops.

This is the correct answer.

The guides are pretty solid. The one that sometimes holds people up is ensuring you have a post-roll playout for the channel. I forgot that when going making new channels after a few months of initial config and it caused issues with channels rendering properly downstream.
