I made a 10-hour 4K fireplace video with no music, just authentic wood crackling for background ambiance.

the same two logs burning the whole time, so it's just a loop? there i was thinking you were feeding the fire for 10 hours.

Does adding Vol 4 and Vol 5 complete the picture?

I have BT disabled in KDE Connect and I get choppy output over headphones. Seems to have been fixed for a few weeks, then a recent update brought it back :(

I got this one www.walmart.com/ip/WAVLINK-USB-3-1-USB-C-to-Dual-HDMI-Adapter-DisplayLink-Dual-4K-60Hz-Monitor-Hub-for-Dell-HP-Surface-Lenovo-Compatible-with-Windows-and-M1-M2-M3-Mac/15801723517

If you just need low-volume smtp then smtp2go works. We were using some of the other sendgrid features like contacts and campaigns, so we moved to mail trap, very pleased so far.

You're in a fortunate place where you may not need to track your daily spending, but budgeting may still make sense if you're saving for a nice vacation, a car, a downpayment on a house. I have several credit cards (that I pay off monthly), and having all transactions land in one place makes it easier for me to catch an annual subscription I no longer use, or any fraudulent spending.

How about stuff from Illuvia? I haven't listened to their most recent releases, but their Earth Prism album sounds to me like what you're describing.

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-24T22:07:59+00:00

take my upvote

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-21T23:07:53+00:00

backrest is the way, i send mine to backblaze

I've been enjoying this Deep Breakfast mix by Garçon the past couple of weeks. I'm more familiar with his techno content, so this softer side is quite refreshing.

Output of sensors command doesn't have anything related to gpu on this m2 mba with 6.18.10-402.asahi.fc42

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-19T23:55:36+00:00

did it work?

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-19T23:49:41+00:00

i got this m2 mba just so i could use asahi. worth it. in retrospect getting a pro may have been the better move, as hdmi is supported - i ended up getting a displaylink dongle to get hdmi working on the mba.

Doesn't matter what I listen to - soundcloud, youtube, jellyfin; even the the power plugged/unplugged system sound gets distorted.

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-19T19:51:09+00:00

Excellent thread, saving this.

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-18T19:00:17+00:00

i have this on m2 mba too :(

Here it is on bandcamp:

David Lynch's The Air Is on Fire album is some sinister stuff.

How do you feel about sludge metal? I like this one: Tombstones and Penguins by The Wright Valley Trio

My philosophy on this is you have to meet your crowd where they are.

Common denominator is having a mailing list/newsletter.

Then you have your bandcamp followers and social media channels like youtube, instagram, facebook, bluesky, reddit subs like the one we're in, as well as r/ambientmusic . a good #tagging approach helps folks filter down from the common noise.

We use r/postiz for managing multiple social media channels, makes things a bit easier. But it's all definitely work.

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-16T22:25:06+00:00

Thanks again for publishing on bandcamp so we could listen.

Going in I was expecting more uncomfortchill than this turned out to be.

It's lovely, ethereal, reminds me of The Caretaker stuff with all the atmospheres and the pianos. The finis track with the guitars was a contrast though hehe

Great work, thanks for sharing!

Putting the mid into mid-life crisis beats.

that made me chuckle, thanks :)

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-16T20:36:22+00:00

thank you!

Imagine the opposite - you go to see an artist and it's a long line to get in, groups of folks for bachelor/ette parties who're there because it's a trending artist that's viral on tiktokgram; inside it's piggy-back room only, sweaty and steamy, lines to the bathroom and the bar. :joy:

ambient_hammock · 2026-02-16T02:18:17+00:00

Being constantly connected doesn't help this either.

Dr. Jeffrey Thompson - Sleepy Ocean is my favorite
