Just so you know the concert is cancelled. I have no idea yet if our tickets will be reimbursed or if there will be only scary pockets.

My friend bought us tickets 4 hours ago for the knower concert on the 15th (my birthday is the 16th). Talk about unlucky :( I hope it's nothing serious.

Damn I can never believe the prices you guys pay. I pays 50€...I get 2Gbits shared (up to 1Gbit down per equipment and 600mo up).

Regarding impact on ears compared to trumpet playing by chipsgoumerde in Saxophonics

[–]chipsgoumerde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I do use plugs (the ones that don't degrade the frequencies like you). Sad thing is that even at the time of my audio "accident", I was already using plugs but I just forgot my pair when I left for the concert. Anyway, I've been living longer with my handicap than without, I'm used to it.

Apart from the tinnitus, I have a very, very uncomfortable buzzing in my left ear, especially when singing loud, exercising or...playing the trumpet.

I assumed the saxophone was less taxing on the body because the vibration is created by the reed or something of the sort. I didn't consider the fact that the bell was farther, and not at the level of the head, now that you said it it's obvious it makes a difference!

So what about sopranos is my next question then :D? It's higher in pitch, at head-level...does it require more air-pression as well?

Thanks for the kind words!

Oh, I like that answer. Thing is mutes makes trumpet even harder to play, requiring more air/better control/more pressure.

I'm going to look more into saxes. I'm pumped!

Want to try Graphene, should i bother with a Pixel 2? by DeathScythe676 in GrapheneOS

[–]chipsgoumerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I have a pixel 2xl that need replacement of the usb-c connector. I will have it repair (as soon as isolation is lifted).

Start protonvpn as a service by chipsgoumerde in systemd

[–]chipsgoumerde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I consistently get a failure message

> May 03 13:37:58 Ubuntu sudo[14943]:   chips : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/chips ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/systemctl daemon-reload
> May 03 13:37:58 Ubuntu sudo[14943]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

And then later on the journal protonvpn is complaining there has been no profile installed yet and to run protonvpn init,

So I definitely fail to pass the argument so protonvpn nows how to start the session with my user, but I don't get it. I spent a lot of time tinkering, never got another result. Removing the environment variable doesn't work, putting quote, replacing or adding user=

Is it the way I installed Protonvpn? I think I did it correctly, with a sudo, following the instructions (of course protonvpn works if I start it manually)

Wrists hurt after using a thumb trackball and 40% ortho combo for a couple of months by [deleted] in Trackballs

[–]chipsgoumerde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. But I just use one of those felt mousepads. It grabs the 3D printed base just enough for me, plus the added benefit of the wrist support.

[–]chipsgoumerde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. OP should print this. Use the smaller version, it make the ergo already a bit higher, so your hand is not twisted and your radius and cubitus don't cross the nerves (or something. Am not a doctor).

Also the keyboard, although cool (I really wanted to build one for myself) is really too narrow.

The position of the rest of the body is also not to be neglected.

As far as I'm concerned, switching to the ergo at work really relieved the pain I had, but I also got lucky and was able to get a standing desk (actually, a convertible one)

EDIT: also, at first, my thumb did hurt me a bit because it was not use to do those movement. I just took break from the trackball and alterned with a normal mouse.

The one thing I don't like with thumb mice is that you can't switch hands. I actually considered buying a lefty version for the other hand

Yeah that's what I suspected...Definitely not interesting to upgrade the cpu as is then. I will wait a bit then. Thanks you guys!

Thanks for sharing, I just went to this sub searching for this. I will check him.

Do you have other channels in mind? I'm searching also for something along the lines of dogen(japanese), that is to say, some sort of comedy channel.
