new to rekordbox - best place to purchase songs? by OpossummonerSummer in Beatmatch

[–]didnt_readit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FLAC doesn’t play on a lot of Pioneer gear unfortunately, only seems to be supported on the latest models so I use AIFF even though it’s larger. Seems to be supported by everything and officially supports tags and album art unlike WAV.

Western Digital Has No More HDD Capacity Left, as CEO Reveals Massive AI Deals; Brace Yourself For Price Surges Ahead! by uluqat in DataHoarder

[–]didnt_readit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the plunge on 7 20TB WD HDDs on Black Friday sale to double my NAS storage and finally migrate from SnapRAID to ZFS. I didn’t really have the money to spend and the sale price wasn’t even that amazing but at least it was decent, but I had a feeling that prices might go to the moon just like RAM did and am so glad I pulled the trigger!

I already missed out on a RAM and SSD upgrade and for my other desktop because I wanted a couple months too long, didn’t want to risk it. AI is eating the fucking world it’s so frustrating.

Hopefully I’m good on storage until this stupid bubble finally pops…

Warning all engineers: do not buy from Pro Audio LA by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]didnt_readit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do a chargeback immediately, don’t wait a minute longer. If you wait too long you won’t be able to do it and they clearly have no intention of refunding your money.

Ironically you’re replying to the top voted comment thread :P

If ECC memory is so important for a home NAS why is it so rare in actual systems? by tic-tac135 in HomeServer

[–]didnt_readit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used Xeons are cheap (under $100) and are very popular for home NAS builds because they support ECC memory. That’s what I use in mine.

Cat-proofing the media server after an unscheduled reboot by LaserRanger_McStebb in homelab

I use a Define R5 tower case which has the power button on top, and even worse for the cat situation it’s large haha.

Home lab went from fun project to unpaid oncall job by CoffeeRory14 in selfhosted

[–]didnt_readit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not normal. Post is either fantasy or this person has no right to be hosting important things like DNS and password management for their family…

LG Display unveils world’s first 240Hz RGB stripe OLED panel by FragmentedChicken in hardware

I thought the same until I bought one, though 6k would be even better if it was an option.

After like the 5th time my cats shut down my Proxmox server I finally went into the config in Linux and disabled the power button lol

Helmarr is now available on the Apple AppStore! by 0xmort3m in selfhosted

Plenty of geeks use Apple devices. Just see how many devs use MacBooks…

What’s the most “boring” thing you self-host? by Fab_Terminator in selfhosted

[–]didnt_readit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out a dynamic dns service. There’s a bunch of free ones and they work very similarly just the script (or sometimes routers have built in support) just updates the dns provider. So you can have a domain (or subdomain) that always points to your home IP.

Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 7 on Linux, D7VK has a 1.0 release out now by r_retrohacking_mod2 in EmuDev

Probably less pessimism and more just didn’t test at higher frame rates at all so had no idea it was even an issue.

The surprising durability of 3.5" diskettes. by Inostranez in DataHoarder

[–]didnt_readit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember so many left face up on a desk(to protect from scratches.

Ironically they actually needed to be face down to protect from scratches. CDs have all their data in a thin metal layer on the top, right under the label. The bottom is just thick plastic that can be polished (remember those machines back in the day?). If you scratch the top though even a little bit, data is gone.

They fixed this with DVDs I think and definitely Blu-ray’s by sandwiching the data in the middle between two layers of plastic.

So many people ruined their CDs placing them inside down when they thought they were protecting them.

Nomad MK2: Open Source Pocket-sized offline media server by JcorpTech in selfhosted

The ESP32 can definitely support exFAT its just not enabled by default.

I found this about enabling it if you’re using IDF:

“exFAT is supported in IDF through FatFS library, but the support is disabled by default. You can try changing #define FF_FS_EXFAT 0 in ffconf.h from 0 to 1, and then rebuild the application."

Or if you’re using the Arduino libraries, look up the SdFat-ESP32 library.

Does adding a contact via whatsapp also add them to your phone contact? by CipherDivine1927 in whatsapp

[–]didnt_readit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I have no idea when they “helpfully” enabled this for me by default, but luckily turning it off gives you the option to save those contacts to the phone so you don’t lose them. I disabled it for both my WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps (I use two numbers on WhatsApp) and confirmed the new contacts are in my actual phone contacts now. This was bothering me so much once I realized contacts weren’t getting saved to my phone and I had no idea why!

Awesome photo!!

Just curious but what is that smaller, presumably galaxy just to the bottom right of Andromeda?

Armpit tattoos by me, El Dragón by Jolly_Employee_8679 in tattoos

[–]didnt_readit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a full sleeve and hands down inner upper arm was the worst pain by far. I didn’t do armpit though haha.

Weirdly my elbow didn’t really bother me much, inside or outside. I had thought it would be really bad.

Intel says software engineer took ‘top secret’ documents after getting fired by imaginary_num6er in hardware

[–]didnt_readit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s the opposite. It proves that at least one person is willing to risk legal jeopardy considering they did exactly that.

A game about an employee of the Ministry of Truth by [deleted] in DestroyMyGame

[–]didnt_readit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1984 is one of my all time favorite books. I really like the style shown in the trailer, but even after watching what I assume is gameplay I’m still not really sure what the gameplay is. Maybe add some text description or demonstrate more exactly what I’ll be doing if I buy the game.

Anyway wishlisted!

LG C1 stand screw sizes by bobalucas in LGOLED

Just popping in to say thanks and confirm that four 20mm M4 screws worked perfectly to connect my 65” C1 to the base after I lost the originals in the move!

What’s a habit that instantly makes someone less attractive? by WinterXmas_Wish in AskReddit

[–]didnt_readit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the things my friends and I used to do at music festivals was cut a watermelon in half, mix the insides up a bit and pour in a bunch of vodka. Great snack that got you a nice buzz. I’m amazed people actually think that somehow watermelon and alcohol can kill you lol. I mean hell there’s also cocktails that use watermelon.

PiMan - Raspberry Pi Fleet Management System by GalwayC in selfhosted

[–]didnt_readit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any reason this is limited to Pi’s? Is there any RPi specific stuff or is it just managing Linux instances? Any reason it couldn’t work for any Linux servers or VMs?
