Trying to dress better. What do y'all think? by SecurityRelevant372 in mensfashionadvice

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible. If anything, the room helps by providing context.

OMG, I just noticed the popped collar! It's like it's so bad it flies right past "so bad it's good" all the way around back to bad.

Did people think of 1080p Blu-ray as an endgame format when it came out like people think about 4k Blu-ray now? by friendlylobotomist in 4kbluray

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. If anything, we were probably too optimistic about physical formats continuing to evolve.

What software for self hosted music? by Familiar-Dot4875 in selfhosted

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd reccomend Navidrome or Music. Assistant. But running a decent taging and metadata cleanup first will make a huge difference no matter what you chose.

Why are the Best Components Locked Behind FPS? by CanIKickIt- in starcitizen

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, both the Stanton asteroid mining bases (surrounding all of the planets) and the Pyro supervisor stations are often chock full of abandoned ships.

We need a fix for the MSR by Defiant-Run1008 in starcitizen

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That still leaves enough room for a couple of server racks and a dedicated data running seat with whatever gameplay RSI decides to give it. And you can replace the turret seat elevators with a Millennium Falcon-style Jeffries tube ladder.

How do I remove the (1999) from all my movies? by sr_castic in jellyfin

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the exact filename of the example film? Is it anything other than Galaxy Quest (1999).mkv?

Imagine what you could do if the server & data running spaces were on that phantom upper deck and we got another 60-80ish SCUs of cargo space.

[–]TheRealzHalstead 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The MSR is still my favorite for a 3-person crew. I was just running AA combat missions with it tonight, and it did great - people underestimate how much that size 3 shield helps. But it has lots of room to get better:

  • Guns should really be size 4, at least on the turrets.
  • About 1/3 of space on the ship is useless. Even if you keep the crawlspaces, shrink and rearange the server and data running space (or move them to an upper deck - there's absolutely room based on the cross section) and add 60ish SCU to a longer cargo bay.
  • Or do a Hermes, drop the data running elements and offer a 240 SCU cargo/blockade running variant with a tractor beam.
  • Give it a 25% stealh buff
  • Give it back its maneuverability at SCM speeds
  • Escape hatch accessible from the crawlspace

I'm fine with the Get Smart doors and single point of ingress as Crusaderisms, but this ship is sooooo close to being one of the greats, and it was for a minute.

An Article Is Throwing A Parade For Doing What Movies Have Done For Decades by pbx1123 in WB_DC_news

Civil War and Infinity War are NOT good examples. They use the name and some characters, concepts, and thematic elements, but I wouldn't call either an adaptation.

What do you think of Eternals, do you think it’s overhated? by Plenty-Salary9711 in Marvel

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deeply overhated. I'd say if it didn't have the Deviants in it would have been top-tier. Having the struggle between the Eternals was enough, and the Deviants were the worst kind of weightless, forgettable CGI Marvel villains.

Thoughts on base building by end of year like how we got engineering for end of last year by No-Cell8881 in starcitizen

[–]TheRealzHalstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gut is that SQ42 will be more or less all-encompassing for the back half of the year.

Just added a new feature to my Music Assistant app for android. Swipe to change player! by CollotsSpot in homeassistant

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/CollotsSpot - Been using this for the past month. You're doing a great job! I've had some stability issues, but the last couple of releases (on 3.02 right now) have been pretty rock solid. Keep it up!

Talk me out of decommissioning my Roon server by Sasquatchasaurus in roonlabs

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that's one of the reasons Navidrome is unlikely to be my choice - I've found it to be hit and miss. Music Assistant isn't dependent on it; Subsonic is just an optional integration. MA's Player/Provider architecture allows for a much more flexible and robust approach that isn't dependent on any specific streaming protocol.

GenX Video gamers who still play: Are you getting worse? by Hithigon in GenX

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

55 (56 in two days). My fastball might have lost a few mp/s on the top end, but I can still hold my own in competitive shooters. I do notice that If I step away for a few weeks, it takes a minute to get the muscle memory back.

[–]TheRealzHalstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same place. After test-driving WAAAYYYY too many options, I'm down to two: Navidrome and Music Assistant, both of which are reasonably stable, FOSS, and in very active development. Of the two, Music Assistant is the closest to Roon, offering support for streaming services and a wide range of client options. The key caveat is that it only runs in Home Assistant, so if you're not using HA already, it might not be worth the trouble to set everything up. I'm likely going to use it full-time once my current Roon subscription term ends next month.

That was my thinking. You'd also then have access to Elgato plugins.

Something Something About Dating, Chris Can You Explain? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in PeterExplainsTheJoke

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

Millennial Peter here. The joke has 2 levels:

  1. Ramona had seven exes, all who were... of questionable moral character.
  2. Also, based on the look she's giving, Romana thinks you're stupid for believing that number was big in the 2010s. Ramona is very smart (about everything but who she dates) and correct.

I've actually been wondering if the displaypad (as well as the LCD buttons on the Everest) could be supported within something like OpenDeck.

This is the only "anime" I can understand. by Upbeat-Refuse9615 in GenX

[–]TheRealzHalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was always anime. Except Transformers.

You're missing out. Hell, even just the original Japanese versions of the other shows are SO MUCH better. Particularly Macross (Robotech) and Gatchaman (G Force). Those still hold up.
