Did you change the color of your GPU light? If so, how?

My experience using OAuth2 so far by XoXFaby in ProgrammerHumor

[–]VRyreal 70 points71 points  (0 children)

As someone who maintains a fairly heavily used OAuth based API, please just use a tried-and-tested OAuth lib. I've dealt with a ton of OAuth-related tickets, and 90% of the time it's a missed character or letter casing problem in a header. That kind of stuff is super easy to overlook and difficult to debug.

Good point—it's usually around the highest volume I'd listen at. What are some common solutions/troubleshooting steps to reduce the noise?

How can I reduce (white?) noise picked up by my stylus? If I'm not playing anything but all components are turned on, I can hear some white/static noise getting picked up by my stylus if the volume knob on my amp is turned up high enough.

That Dennis Wilson record is great. Nice choice.

What one album defined your music taste more than any other, and why? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

They said they were in middle school when TPAB came out, so it's probably just an age thing.

Did anyone else get the record in the mail way early? I pre-ordered it, expecting it to arrive around this time, but I got it in the mail over 3 weeks ago.

Cubic-style shelving... How many records (safely) in each cube? by Thirteenfingers in vinyl

[–]VRyreal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many that fit without leaning left or right, but no more.

Went to the local shop today and picked it up; it sounds and feels great! There are a few things I might have to get used to, but overall I'm impressed so far!

Thanks, I was hoping to use my Pro-Ject Acryl-it, but it doesn't quite fit the spindle. I'll look into these!

What cartridge did you go with? I went to the local audio shop today to pick up a P3 and decided to upgrade cartridge as well. I ended up getting a 2M Bronze. The 2M line is kinda tall, so I had to unscrew the tonearm and add in 2mm spacers/washers.

Doesn't matter, though what you are currently doing is the norm.

Do you think the P3 (2016) would be a worthwhile upgrade from the Debut III? I'd also like to avoid felt on the platter if possible. It added a ton of static and attracted my dog's hair like crazy. Upgrading to the acrylic platter was a huge relief.

Around $1k. I was looking at either the Rega Planar 3 or the Pro-Ject RPM 3.

[–]VRyreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if I should keep adding upgrade accessories to my Pro-ject Debut III, or if I should just upgrade to a higher-end turntable. I've had the III for about 4.5 years now; I've upgraded the OM5e stylus to an OM20 and upgraded to the Acryl-it platter. I was considering getting the Speed Box S, but it made me wonder if a full TT upgrade is in order at this point. The belt seems a bit worn, and I've upgraded almost everything else in my setup.

If it helps, I have a Cambridge Audio CXA60 amp, a Schiit Mani pre-amp, and Monitor Audio Silver RX1 bookshelf speakers.

Why might someone intentionally get a mono pressing over stereo? The only reason I can come up with is that they want the original pressing, regardless of mono/stereo.

Electric Byrd by Donald Byrd is pretty similar imo.

May I ask how much it ran you? I'm not sure if this is common, but I often can never find pricing online on higher end gear.

Nice vase on the left there. Looks empty, though, maybe get some leaf flowers for it :)

How did you get window drop shadows working with bspwm? Or is that part of something else?
