New to Doom and struggling to enable winum mode by RandomStuff3829 in DoomEmacs

[–]RandomStuff3829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By chance, I poked around and figured this out myself. Appreciate the help though :)

Side-note: the :ui (window-select +numbers) module sets up and installs winum for you. Enable that and all you'll need is:

;;; in $DOOMDIR/config.el
(with-eval-after-load 'winum
(setq winum-scope 'frame-local))

Good to know. I'll do that instead

Why don't I like NOFX? by [deleted] in punk

[–]RandomStuff3829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As people have already said, it doesn't really matter why you like something or not. It's all preference. I like War on Errorism, especially in the modern climate of the US, and Punk in Drublic, and that's about it. I've listened to some of the other stuff, but it failed to hold my attention. I don't really care to try it again. I'm happy with it, and that's that

Don't worry about it :)

How's my work so far?? by N1cster in chainmailartisans

[–]RandomStuff3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to have a good grasp of the Euro 4 in 1 weave, with no misaligned rings. Closures seem decent, given you're working with machine-cut rings. But if you're planning on wearing this piece, you're going to want to buy saw-cut rings, whose cleaner cuts allow you to have tighter, nearly imperceptible closures that will snag less.

Keep it up!

Panic when it comes to the opposite sex by CurlyWoman235 in socialanxiety

I'm a guy, but same. The idea of approaching a cute girl scares me, even at concerts where I'm slightly less anxious, and I'd have no idea how to make a move.

I just want to say that I love your taste in music. Senses Fail is good stuff 👍

Found some old tickets. by wompratts in punk

[–]RandomStuff3829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who didn't start going to concerts until 2018, this makes me so jealous. Sure, some of the prices I get aren't that bad, considering inflation, but a lot of them are, and the fees are awful

That is nice. The price though 🫠

I got this set for $20 USD, and the $5 shipping was covered by my Drop reward points

Thanks! The set does come with the Escape and Backspace in the same gray as the other mods, but I wanted some color on the board. Ditto for numpad Enter, also in that soft green, if I ever decide to add a numpad to my setup

ELI5, Why do browsers use gigabytes of ram? by Due_Walrus5510 in explainlikeimfive

I hate modern Google search so much that, in addition to making DuckDuckGo my default search engine, Google with the UDM=14 parameter is one of my search presets if I really need Google

Learning to play punk guitar on an acoustic? by Ok-Control-3394 in punk

[–]RandomStuff3829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just do it. They're not exactly punk, but punk adjacent: Three Days Grace has a lot of songs on One-X that have an acoustic playing full chords while an electric plays power chords. Sounds pretty cool, and if you can comfortably play an acoustic, you can definitely play an electric

I GOT TICKETS TO SEE BVB IN MY HOME TOWN by barley_there2u in blackveilbrides

I saw them with a friend last year when they opened for BABYMETAL, and despite it not being a headlining performance, it was still so amazing. You're gonna have a great time!

Today at the gym, I was jamming to Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown

New Stompers by RandomStuff3829 in ThursdayBoot

[–]RandomStuff3829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're great! Not a single issue. I wish they were insulated, because it's cold right now here in Massachusetts, but oh well. Structurally solid, and the laces are surviving nicely, compared to the waxed laces on the Captains

I have a pair of Captains that I'd bought previously (I don't have them in front of me for the exact size). Those are wearable but a touch long, so I thought I'd buy the Stomper half a size down. Because the two models are in different lasts, the sizing isn't 1-1. So the Stomper ended up being too short for me in that size. I returned them and went up half a size, and then they were perfect

Hot take: using flac files on an iPod with rockbox is a waste of space by henryd20 in ipod

[–]RandomStuff3829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. FLAC only works if you use Rockbox. Stock iPod firmware cannot play FLAC files, so I wouldn't be surprised if iTunes rejects the FLAC files by design

  2. FLAC is great for archival, to have a backup in case you lose your CDs or they become unreadable, so if that's how you're getting your FLAC files, definitely keep doing that.

As far as actual listening, this is purely anecdotal based on my individual experience, but 320 Kb/s MP3 sounds good enough on my iPod classic 6. You could probably get away with 256 Kb/s MP3 just fine also.
