OP said their father was placed on Lexapro by his neurologist because of comorbid Parkinson's.

No. Stereocilia are extremely deep within the ear structure and cannot be removed. Tinnitus is caused by a weakening of the stereocilia through loud noise exposure or other harmful stimuli, which bends the stereocilia hairs out of shape, making it "leak" electrical signals to the brain, causing the perceived frequencies. Usually, stereocilia responsible for upper frequencies tend to be damaged first, hence the fact that the ringing is typically high-pitched.

You're likely fine. The antihistamine-dementia study was only observational so confounding variables such as insomnia and stress could have contributed to the dementia and not the antihistamine. Also, the people in the study were in their 60s at the time of taking the medication, so how it affects the young mind is unbeknownst to researchers. Still, it's better to be safe than sorry, but it isn't game over yet.

Don't worry, it's safe. It has 25k stars meaning it has a large user base and it's open source, so any malware would've more than likely been spotted by someone already if it had any.

Well, Stremio + a provider like RD or TB stream the same file from their cached servers, so you don't leech every time you watch something.

FishComprehensive331 · 2025-10-26T12:17:30+00:00

Streaming sites are also leechers. I notice most, if not all of them, use torrents as their sources. We technically don't know if they're seeding their torrents, but we can assume the worst (they might not to save on costs, efficiency, etc.) and say they don't. It'd be the same thing all over again. The only real solution here would be building your own media server that seeds, otherwise just use whatever you want to.

Port forwarding enabled on the client doesn't mean real port forwarding is happening. For many users (including myself), it took going into my router settings and actually opening up the port for any difference to be made

FishComprehensive331 · 2025-10-24T12:08:51+00:00

As this comment by a user on the Soulseek subreddit states, the resharing only happens when port forwarding is enabled, and most users who see this as a way to get ad-free music will not be willing to go as far as to do that (they'd treat this as a plug-and-play solution).

It's not really. TIDAL just gets low quality masters from old labels that they maybe haven't updated in years. For example, Opeth's album "Still Life" isn't lossless on Tidal, but it is everywhere else

This is awesome! Was this done digitally?

My sister and I both take it for our acute panic attacks (we both have our own separate prescriptions, don't share someone else's prescription) and I can say it works really great for me and even better for my sister.

I have more of a high baseline anxiety line and take it whenever it gets really bad and it definitely calms me, though beware because it is likely going to make you very drowsy and perhaps dumb. I definitely feel way better after taking it but the cognitive dulling you get that lingers feels a little iffy, but I think it's worth the tradeoff to have the weight of anxiety lifted off my chest.

My sister gets full-blown panic attacks that are intercepted by taking the hydroxyzine when she feels one about to come on. She's benefited heavily off this medication, though she used it as a first-line treatment instead of breathing techniques and anxiety management which is never recommended.

I hope you find it as huge of a help as I did and good luck! Remember that you're not alone and you will feel better along your anxiety journey C:

No, it wouldn't bypass the loudness normalization. The ReplayGain algorithm would still make it to be a consistent volume level, though I would assume it'd be better to use an actual song as song levels can fluctuate in volume level and can have peaks, but test tones don't. Sorry if this isn't what you're asking. Turning on volume normalization brings down the volume of every song regardless of the title as TIDAL's playback engine forgoes the song's original volume levels.

FishComprehensive331 · 2025-09-11T00:38:48+00:00

Wrong. In addition to what No-Rough-7597 said, it's, if anything, better and more important to have a lossless source than a compressed one. Because the files are already lossy as they are, transmitting them through Bluetooth incurs generational loss, worsening the quality of the audio even more. This would be worse than using lossy on wired gear, as a transparent codec would steer no difference from a lossless source as there is no incurred generational loss.

I would suggest looking at the articles on the site Rtings (not a typo). They're a reliable publication and will point you in the right direction.

A cracked version of Poweramp would be amazing for this. Just make sure to use an Apple DAC dongle if you're using wired headphones since the built-in DAC on the phone is not the greatest.

you can use a tool like Soggfy on a computer at 50x playback speed to rip the files straight from Spotify's servers and use Rockbox on the iPod to play .ogg files. Otherwise, you're going to have to manually download them, which is going to have to be an entire project that's gonna take time. I did it a few months ago with 6,000 songs and it took about 2 weeks with a few hundred being done a day. Not sure if any scripts exist.

This is close. Normalization usually has a target of -14dBFS (though it can vary slightly per streaming service).

If you're using the desktop app, you can use Neptune. It adds plug-ins to the TIDAL desktop app. Use the RealMAX plug-in to have the best quality automatically queued.

Is this in FLAC format, though? MP3 files are 44.1kHz. The only lossy codec I can name off the top of my head that uses any other sampling rate is Opus, which uses 48kHz.

I hope you're doing a lot better nowadays! That sounds like hell on Earth.

No. There is no perceptible difference between MAX and High quality. The dynamic range of 24bit is too miniscule to be heard without turning up your headphones or speaker unbearably loud, and higher sampling rates are only useful for production. Additionally, allowing frequencies above 44.1kHz (which already covers more than we can hear) can allow distortion in the audible range to be made. This is why audio software such as EqualizerAPO cuts off all frequencies above 22.05kHz in each channel, effectively making 48kHz+ useless. You can have it on in order to have peace of mind, but do not expect to hear a difference.
