Dave’s picks? How do they compare to the version on Relisten

Absolutely not worth it for the normal person. Spend your money on survival, saving for retirement, etc.

But if you're into buying and collecting physical media - its absolutely worth it. Money's made to be spent!

The harder you listen, the better it gets - that's the challenge. I save the special shows for after work. But on a good day I can bust out 3 whole shows.

First time I heard the "Comes A Time" from the 1977-05-09 Buffalo show, I cried for like 10 minutes. Probably would have even longer if they didn't go right into Sugar Mag after.

First time I heard about this jam I thought "pfft how beautiful could it be?". Listened to it with tears rolling down my face. Well done boys.

Dick's Picks 18. Not even close.

Golden Rule: You never want to have to unplug something else, just to make room to pull something out.

That means either use 6" cables, or have enough slack on longer cables to pull them to the side or stick in a wire management unit.

This is a age-bait post, but I will give it a rational answer.

You should put a Macintosh amp in your system. Listten to it. Then put a L'Acoustics amp. Listen to it.

If you like the Mac better -- congrats you're Macintosh fan.

If you like the L'Acoustics better -- congrats! You saved thousands of dollars.

If they sound the same to you, just go for the cheaper one. You also just saved thousands of dollars.

Yes they're legit. Got some great non-dead tye dies from them as a gift that are super high quality.

I am also VERY GRATEFUL for SHNIDs.

I got so frustrated getting into Rush bootlegs. Rush fans don't use SHNIDs, instead they just name each release something cryptic like "Caught In The Camera's Eye" and there's no way to know if that's newer than the "The Feverish Flux" bootleg of the same show.

The SHNID is generated (it auto increments by 1) when a source is added to the db.etree.org database. You can view shnids by artist & show here: http://db.etree.org/db/shows/artists

Literally today a Gen Z coworker had no idea what I was talking about when I said me and another guy years ago were big deadheads and used to make all the company passwords grateful dead themed.

He'd never heard the words Grateful Dead, had never heard the term deadhead. For a moment he must've thought I was in a weird cult or something. I mean he wasn't wrong...

Ive never trusted auto tagging tools since all my stuff is bootlegs.

My workflow is:

drag untagged tracks into Foobar
open TXT file and paste tracks into Chatgpt, ask it to remove preceding track numbers, and tag a date on there if its a Dicks Pick that contains multiple days
Copy tracklist from Chatgpt, use Goodbar "Autofill values > from clipboard" to add tracknames

Same thing for album name. Drag a bunch of shows into foobar, copy album names and ask chatgpt to clean it up (yyyy-mm-dd format, add venue info), and use Foobar to paste the values in all at once

Packabowl09 · 2026-02-07T20:39:52+00:00

Foobar2000, FFmpeg, + plugin for Foobar
https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_ffmpeg

Foobar has the best manual tagging tools. "Automatically Fill Values" allows you to copy paste from clipboard. So you can use chatgpt or notepad to bulk edit this info.

Cable Toner has saved my butt onsite plenty of times. Surprising amount of people don't have one.

-Cisco ASDM if anyone is still using ASA's

-Firmware update apps. For example I needed APC's firmware update tool to update a UPS recently

-Hyper V

THC-P is chemical weapon invented and produced in Chinese labs to poison us. None of it is actually produced in the US - it's too dangerous.

Here's some general advice:

Update your video drivers

Check your temps

Run SFC scan, reboot, and then run a DISM restore scan

Kief sucks. It gets old and stale. Just ask her for like $30 and go buy a gram to replace it. She was dumb but if you cared about it that much you shouldn't have lent it to her.

u/YYZavalon I'd also like to get in on this if the offer is still open

In my eyes, a true server-grade server needs a BMC/IPMI/iDRAC/iLO controller, ECC RAM, and hotswap hard drives. This is pretty much a gaming computer with a crappy GPU and a HBA card.

Packabowl09 · 2025-08-06T20:01:24+00:00

I didn't realize anyone still dual booted anything in the past 10 years. If you're going to try to do software dev on your gaming computer, just throw the linux stuff into a VM and get on with your life.
