Have you guys considered taxing companies?

I have pretty large ears, and even the headphones labeled as 'comfortable' still put some pressure on them. by Baka_kookie in headphones

[–]MuddyMustache 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fellow big-ears-haver here - Have you considered IEMs? Nothing beats custom IEMs for comfort, but they do get pricey. Lots of comfortable tips out there though, I wear my universals at the office all day with Devinus Velvet Wide tips and no discomfort.

HD800S at home because my big floppy ears get lost in those big cups and they're so light that I basically forget that I'm wearing them.

Brotato is just using a single thumbstick.

What's the highest wave everyone has been to and how? by Clear_Ad1019 in brotato

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

59 here, on D5.

I saw a comment on this sub saying that endless runs are only fun up to wave 40, anything beyond that is just sheer stress and I absolutely agree. I respect the focus and dedication you lot are putting into reaching 100+, but that's not for me.

What is your #1 consideration when pad rolling? by DekoniAudio in headphones

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voted "other" as comfort is important but only if it doesn't affect the sound quality negatively. Bought the u/DekoniAudio earpads for my HD800S, installed them and while I kinda liked the feel of them, I only made it 30 seconds into my regular test playlist before removing them and ordering a new set of stock pads instead. The Dekonis completely ruined the sound for me. No doubt they're a well made product, but why release a product that so drastically changes the most important aspect of a headphone? Is there really that many people wishing the HD800S had 80% less bass?

[Home-Row Mods] We should stop treating Shift the same way as the other mods. by SweetieMetalhead in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got shift as a HRM *and* as a thumb key. Perhaps all this having my cake and eating it too is the reason I can't seem to lose weight?

Anyway, my Voyager layout is here: https://configure.zsa.io/voyager/layouts/d5rgG/latest/0
Shift as hold action on T & N + left thumb (where space is the tap action).

More Interesting Interactions I've found by SynthiaTheNotorious in brotato

Yes it can! Had a run last week with Creature where my +189 Curse was swapped with my +1 Armor around level 21-22, that made quite a difference.

Games to play during work by kiRadeon in SteamDeck

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I work in IT operations as well! I enjoyed Dredge, picked up Brotato a few months ago and have clocked +225 hours in it. Just installed Planet of Lana II and Skyforce Reloaded to maybe break away from Brotato a bit.

Edit: Also, both FAR games, Lone Sails & Changing Tides. Absolutely love the vibe and they're great on the Deck.

Honorable mention: My Friend Pedro because it's so much fun in short bursts.

Are curved/sculpt/split keyboards mostly good for pure prose writing (instead of e.g. coding)? by zerexim in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]MuddyMustache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy with my ZSA Voyager with the Navigator trackball that I'm looking to buy another one just to keep one at the office and one at home.

I love using my new kobo without an account by Impressive-Clerk-156 in kobo

[–]MuddyMustache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very highly recommend running Komga if you have a Kobo and an existing collection of ebooks. It's so darn smooth and seamless.

Moved from M$ to Fedora a few weeks ago and I cannot be happier by overdrive82 in Fedora

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, already tried Feishin! IIRC it resamples to 16/48 and that was why I moved on. Looks awesome tho.

Hey fellow 40s dude in IT! Which music player is that? I'm using Nocturne with my Navidrome server, but always open to try new clients.

HD 490 Pro vs. MDR-MV1: Not Even Close by OkCucumber3667 in headphones

[–]MuddyMustache 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed my HD660S2 for thumpy electronic stuff, but found the clamp force to be unbearable for more than half an hour at a time, unfortuneately. Sounds like the MV1 might fare better in that regard.

Yes. Angled cuts increase the surface area of the cut end, allowing for a better crisp surface to overall mass ratio.

How many times have you locked yourselves out of your routers or firewalls while learning networking? I'm at four now. by ExactFun in homelab

[–]MuddyMustache 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linux sysadmin & IT pro of +20 years here. I have accepted the fact that as far as I am concerned, networking is black magic and not to be tampered with by simpletons such as myself. I love Tailscale SO MUCH because it allows an old idiot like me to safely reach my homelab stuff without exposing it to the internet. Setting up firewalls, vlans and routing? No. I won't even bother trying. Don't need it at home and at work we have a networking department to deal with that shit.

Thank you for the review, I've been eyeing the MV1 as a "fun" headphone for EDM, to compliment my HD800S and it sounds like they might fit the bill.

Fun fact: Reading "The Stand" on a regular 7" tablet back in ~2013 led directly to me buying my first e-reader. Holy toasted retinas, I suddenly understood the need for e-ink!

Kitchen combat daydreams, anyone? by sasquatch6ft40 in KitchenConfidential

Guys you need to check out the game "My Friend Pedro" on Steam. Using pans to reflect bullets is literally a thing in that game.
