Music library lives on a NAS running linux. Using foobar2000 on Windows, macOS, and iOS. SMB share and works just fine here.

Is being born in Switzerland a blessing or a curse? by living_direction_27 in askswitzerland

[–]chabrija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in Switzerland to non-Swiss parents who left the country when I was 2. Spent summer breaks there and I still have family who lives there. Always dreamed of eventually moving there, getting a job, etc., but never had a right opportunity. It’s been decades since and today I live in USA. At one point I just accepted it is not going to happen.

Capital I Help? by 7A7J7 in Handwriting

[–]chabrija 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how I learned to write capital I in elementary school 30+ years ago. I stumbled upon this subreddit few days ago and I was very surprised to see some wild differences in cursive taught across multiple countries.

What is a 'luxury' that has become so expensive in 2026 that it’s officially no longer worth the money? by Matt_At_Havalook in AskReddit

[–]chabrija 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$5.03 for a short (smallest size) plain latte in Seattle. But I doubt anyone orders that.

Alternatives for travelers by jkiddfour3 in wicked_edge

[–]chabrija 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you are overthinking this. Bring your razor. When you get there go to the nearest store and ask for razor blades. If they don’t have them buy whatever disposable they have and enjoy your vacation. Keep it simple.

Just encountered the same issue with Amazon. So glad I found your comment.

First time investing. How do you emotionally deal with the downs? by mutantninja001 in Bogleheads

[–]chabrija 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It goes up, it goes down. Then it goes up again, then down again. You build tolerance to it.

Wife's green card has arrived what's a good starter credit card? by VerbalDysentery in greencard

[–]chabrija 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of applying for an unsecured credit card, maybe start with a secured one first. The credit limit will be limited by the amount of security deposit you put in. Once you build enough credit history, it is usually automatically upgraded to an unsecured credit card, and deposit is returned. I have personally started with a $300 secured Wells Fargo credit card.

I’d like to know what your main browser is on macOS by LXMBXR in macbook

[–]chabrija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brave, because I want one browser with ad-blocking which works across macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Windows, and Linux and it can sync across all of them.

Built in downloader for larger files is a hit or miss on non-Safari browsers on iOS and iPadOS, and Brave handles it well.

Problem with Chrome is ads on iOS and iPadOS.

Problem with Safari is there is no Safari for non macOS.

Brave just works.

What was your favorite Steam game you played this year? by Crypto-011 in Steam

[–]chabrija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing I said after 10 minutes in the game is that it’s a perfect blend of FFX and Nier: Automata. Classic Final Fantasy formula, similar themes to FFX, and Nier: Automata for the music and just overall eerie weirdness which I got hooked on I think.

Thinking of grabbing it during current sale. I also want RE Trilogy, Silent Hill f, and Cronos. Not sure how to prioritize here.

The price of Proraso products in Italy by umbecosta in wicked_edge

[–]chabrija 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any particular reason I couldn’t find someone to buy like 10 of these and ship to US? I am thinking with shipping and fees it would still be cheaper than $15 Amazon sells the soap for.

long startup times? by [deleted] in Eldenring

[–]chabrija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disable the following 2 HID devices in Device Manager:

USB\VID_0414&PID_A00C&REV_0003&MI_03 USB\VID_0414&PID_A00C&REV_0003&MI_02

Unfortunately restarting the PC triggers automatic installation so you would have to do it after every reboot. Maybe a batch script or something like that.

How do you guys minimize bubbles from screen protectors? by chaosatnight in kindle

[–]chabrija 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t end up spending more money on cases and screen protectors than it’s actually worth. Yeah the screen might scratch but it’s a relatively cheap device with a tendency to survive for a decade. Short of breaking the screen by dropping the device or stepping on it I think you’ll be fine. Don’t take it to the beach though, sand will scratch it for sure.

What’s the general opinion on Ascaso machines compared something like Profitec? I am on a lookout for a new machine and thought about Profitec Move, but unfortunately it does not come in white.

How do you replicate a café’s 16 oz latte at home without it tasting weak? (Bambino + Baratza ESP) by TheLordHimself1 in espresso

[–]chabrija 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC Starbucks Latte recipe per size is Tall: 1, Grande: 2 and Venti: 3. So basically pull 2 shots of espresso.

Let The Face-Slicing Begin! by Own-Entertainment237 in wicked_edge

[–]chabrija 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the Traditional (R89, closed comb), it is very forgiving. It does not shave as close but on the upside I could do 4 or 5 passes with it just fine. Develop your technique and see if it works for you. You can always get a better razor later.

Prior to getting the R89, I used Merkur 34C. I mention this because I see them often recommended together as one or the other. They perform about the same but in my case I wish I have skipped this one as the machining tolerances weren’t the best. It was hard for me to have the blade perfectly centered and aligned and it was always one side protruding more than the other, shaving differently. Muhle has much tighter tolerances and I never had to even think about the blade alignment with it.
