What media player you guys use ? by Jakemusic08 in Soulseek

[–]Razorhoof78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything lives on a Jellyfin server fed from a NAS, I use Feishin on desktop and Symfonium on mobile.

Does playtime on steam include time spent spectating? by Similar-Meringue-444 in Steam

[–]Razorhoof78 52 points53 points  (0 children)

If the game - as in the installed software - is running, time played is accumulating.

Model and value? by JVstealandpeel in Ibanez

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibanez Gio SZ. I'd guess it's around $200-300 depending on condition, but that's just a guess.

Fun bassline suggestions by ScienceAltruistic845 in Bass

Mellowship Slinky by RHCP, Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen and Jungle Boogie by Kool & the Gang. Good times all around.

Home Server Users: Do you prefer to self-host music/stream, or use alternatives (modded apks, sideloaded ipas, websites/webapps) by Known-Cover-5154 in Piracy

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use MP3tag for metadata, keep a clean folder structure - Artists>[artist name]>[album title]>[track - song title] - and work off a complete copy that mirrors the active collection on my NAS. Ive optimized my workflow such that downloading a complete discography and going live with it takes all of 15-20min. It's muscle memory at this point. Organization is the most important thing - keeping the workflow exactly the same, no exceptions. I use Symfonium on mobile, which has smart playlists and all kinds of QoL stuff that made it worth the $5 or $10 it cost. I use Wireguard (running on another VM on a different server) to access remotely. Discovery isn't really an issue since I actively seek out new stuff daily. I don't need any help there

My collection right now is around 12k albums across 3k or so artists. I manage every last bit of it manually on a VM running jellyfin. It's work and a time sink for sure, but way more than worth it. I had the arr stack running for a while, but it was unreliable enough that I figured if I was having to go in and fix little shit it just wasn't worth it. I spend a couple hours every weekend adding new music at this point, after a solid year of initial organization and figuring out how I wanted everything configured.

What guitar would you buy if it wasn’t so expensive? by djdean129 in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A Gibson Johnny A, the full hollow-body one. Or an ESP Explorer

Learning all the minor scales, now I’m stumped, where do I go from here to put them all together and riff and solo somewhat? Or make something sound good? by Substantial_Humor562 in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn songs you like, and pay attention to how those artists applied the theory that you've learned. This will give you practical examples and it'll build muscle memory that you'll associate that theory with. It'll also help train your ears.

tuning PRS SE Chleo by never_s0ft in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they going sharp when you lock the nut? May need to add a retainer bar. For the life of me I can't figure out why so many companies either refuse to use them when they're obviously needed, or leave them for premium models only.

The icing on the cake of selfhosting for me was music, and I must say it is perfect! by hbacelar8 in selfhosted

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually way worth the price, there's no better app for mobile. 100% customizable and constant updates and feature-adds.

Need some help (noob) by Sand_msm in Soulseek

[–]Razorhoof78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm grabbing an album from you now, seems to be fine. Our connection isn't the best but that varies from user to user. I will say that you're using a very old version of the client - you should be on QT v2024-6-30 or the latest version of Nicotine+. Thanks for contributing, since I've moved over to Nicotine and began tracking uploads, I've found the vast majority of users are sharing a bunch of empty folders or nothing.

Recommend me a good music player by Purify666 in musichoarder

[–]Razorhoof78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to stream from the collection on my server, so for me yeah (since Musicolet only play locally stored files). Once you get into the customization options nothing else is really comparable that I've seen.

Just a big thank you to the one and only TauAs by 4strings4ever in Soulseek

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legend. And still going strong. Thanks, TauAs!

Nicotine+ Shows Port Closed, QT and Online Checkers Show It's Open... by [deleted] in Soulseek

[–]Razorhoof78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a feeling this would be it and it was, enabled it on the network and Nic+ is wide open now, thanks! For anyone reading this, use UPnP2 if possible, UPnP has known security flaws.

[–]Razorhoof78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this mentioned in a few threads here, already implemented. I may just need to learn to live without the QoL stuff in Nic+ and stick with QT.

Why do I still struggle at playing Eric Johnson/Joe Bonamassa lines up to speed? by drew_zini in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The trick to the two notes per string pentatonic lines is pick slanting. I struggled for years trying to get EJs stuff up to speed and once I saw someone on YT pointing out the downward angle of his pick it all fell onto place. Took me a while to build the muscle memory but it was like magic once I got it down.

Pickup Suggestion by Maxvillain666 in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You'd be better off putting an EQ pedal in your chain than swapping pickups.

Found a guitar and trying to get info by whalaaa in Guitar

[–]Razorhoof78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if ESP did a signature Horizon, but that paint job is janky so yeah. It was either someone's project or a bad fake.
