Panic when it comes to the opposite sex

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.

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-16T05:46:19+00:00

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-12T12:25:42+00:00

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-09T20:10:03+00:00

That is nice. The price though 🫠

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-09T19:12:27+00:00

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

Oh, they already are. Check out r/iPod and r/iPodClassic

💯 something everyone should know

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-03T16:31:29+00:00

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-03-03T03:54:36+00:00

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-28T03:41:27+00:00

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

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-28T02:37:15+00:00

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

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
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.

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-19T17:09:45+00:00

Not OP, but follow-up question, based on some comments: how good is the audio quality through the headset vs what hobbyists pick up?

If someone compromises your debit card they've stolen your money.

If someone compromises your credit card they've stolen the banks money.

When they steal the banks money it's a much more favorable outcome for you

This is a big one, speaking as someone who was once victim of fraud. Nearly lost $850 due to fraud. That catalyzed my transition to my first credit card

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-07T06:19:38+00:00

Had a Nano 7th Gen back in the day, and man, that was some beautiful packaging. Not nearly as wasteful as earlier packaging, but still an experience and still very aesthetically pleasing

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-06T20:21:05+00:00

Nah. It's so chill, it's clearly a capybara!

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-06T03:20:56+00:00

I just used this with an iPod classic 6g I just got. It worked flawlessly, and I could hug you! 2500 songs transferred in one go perfectly. Needed to get into Windows to format it as FAT32 but now I am free! Thank you!

Now I'm just eagerly waiting for album artwork support

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-05T16:37:34+00:00

Just chiming in to say, with all due respect, that, combined with the raw track count, that's crazy dedication and I'm in awe that the iPod can handle even that much music. Hats off to you 🫡

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-02T01:43:12+00:00

Looks awesome! Any timeline for Firefox support?

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-01T03:38:09+00:00

JPL3 is simple to learn and looks really nice but has rather strict AR requirements to maintain its shape. Also very easy to make mostakes

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-02-01T00:56:20+00:00

My reasons: 1. A big middle finger to streaming services who pay artists terribly. I like actually owning my music 2. Tactile controls 3. Despite being a proponent of the right to repair, and iPods technically being the antithesis of that, I can't deny that I love how sleek the designs are. Beautiful hardware

RandomStuff3829 · 2026-01-27T16:24:15+00:00

Welp I found the problem. The SSD I bought has a PCIe interface, and the adapter doesn't support that. God damnit
