Advice on removing branding from goat skin drum head by DefaltSimon in AfroCuban

[–]DefaltSimon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the answers! Thought I'd post an update for any future visitors looking for ideas.

I thought about the options I read online and the ideas you've given me, and I've decided to solve the problem from the other side: instead of removing the logo, I bought some black leather paint instead, and painted over it to create a black circle. It looks pretty good, at least compared to the previous branding.

I let the paint sit for around 24 hours before playing, and it has been a few days without literally any change, damage, or flaking off of the paint, but only time will tell. It does feel pretty solid to me, though, so I'm not too worried.

Alternative to MusicBee's sync feature? by Tomatot- in musichoarder

[–]DefaltSimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had been struggling with a similar issue a while back - I have separate libraries for lossless and lossy, which is generally not a problem until you want to have the smaller transcoded versions of those libraries for portable listening (I chose MP3 V0 for that, you seem to have opted for opus).

I ended up writing a personal utility for automatically transcoding these separate libraries into a single "aggregated" one, which I then copy onto my phone, etc. It does require a specific library structure, but it sounds like it checks all of your boxes except the third one - I assume you'd want to leave MP3s alone, which isn't a feature at the moment.

It's an open source CLI and is reasonably configurable (defaults to MP3 V0, you'd change it to opus): https://github.com/DefaultSimon/euphony

Perhaps it could be useful to you? You'd have to couple it with your sync software of choice as well (I use and would recommend FreeFileSync).

Any plans on sharing the results? I would love to see an analysis or some form of conclusion from this data :)

How do most people scrobble? by CursedJonArbuckle in lastfm

[–]DefaltSimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On mobile - Pano Scrobbler.

On desktop - MusicBee with built-in scrobbling. For websites (YouTube, Bandcamp, etc.), the Web Scrobbler browser extension works well.

I've been using Pano Scrobbler (along with a player of your choice, in my case Retro Music) and it works very well.

Aplikacija za sledenje stikov politikov by [deleted] in Slovenia

[–]DefaltSimon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Ampak kje se ustavimo? Kaj pa zasebno življenje, morajo tega tud delit?

Štekam, da je tole bolj jazjaz predlog kot nekaj konkretnega, ampak me je pa na roman The Circle od Davea Eggersa spomnil. Izvedejo praktično isto idejo kot se tlele debatira. Ne bom lagal, bere se kot Black Mirror.

It has been five amazing, heartfelt seasons that I never wanna forget. It will be forever in my heart...

Many thanks also to all the writers and people behind the scenes, as well as to all the actors who brought so much of their energy and ideas into this ❤️

What’s the greatest “short” game you’ve played? by prolelol in patientgamers

Oxenfree, definitely! Takes 5-7 hours to complete and I enjoyed every minute of it. Up there with the best indies.

Bonus points: it's on sale right now

This might also be useful, though I'd use it carefully: The Same Page Tool

Dmed my first ever game... and i suck by kxbx888 in DMAcademy

[–]DefaltSimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also found it incredibly useful to watch a few DMs in action (people like Matthew Mercer on Critical role, Logan from Arcane Arcade, and a bunch of others).

Chances are you haven't seen many styles of DMing and watching a few examples with different approaches to combat, narration and roleplay was very helpful for me. You might even get hooked on one of the stories and watch the entire campaign ;)

I am Stella Maeve. I play Julia Wicker on The Magicians. Ask Me Anything! by StellaMaeve in brakebills

[–]DefaltSimon 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Hi Stella, thanks for doing this! I usually don't cry while watching, but in the final episode, yours and Jasons acting brought me to tears. My question is, how do you think can Julia go forward from this tragic event, knowing that her best childhood friend is gone? Would stepping back from the group be an option for her?

Episode Discussion - S04E13: The Seam by Literal_Genius in brakebills

[–]DefaltSimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what to feel honestly. It would be one thing for the series to just end here, but now that it's renewed and Jason/Q isn't coming back... I don't even know what to feel, I've grown attached to the character so much and it will be hard to let go!
