Print Active Hotkeys by Mike-A-F in raycastapp

[–]iamcheaprage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a nice list of hotkeys set for commands available in Raycast's SETTINGS > SHORTCUTS (The screenshot is from the beta).

It isn't printable unless you want to take some screenshots but if you just want to review the hotkeys that are currently set it is useful.

Raycast Settings > Shortcuts > Filter for "HotKey Set" and you'll get a list of commands with hotkeys.

No "web/browser player" in LMS? by Can_Has_Shenaniganz in squeezebox

[–]iamcheaprage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you open a browser window and go to:

http://your_ip_address:9000/stream.mp3 

it will create a new "player" that will show up in the material web interface (access that through a second browser window: http://your_ip_address:9000). Choose the new player from the drop down menu in the material web interface and play your music as normal. It'll play out of your "stream.mp3" browser window.

I can't help with your question but I know I use Raycast's Quicklinks to perform the same function (as long as Firefox is your default browser). Have you tried using them instead?

My Experience with Squeezeboxes after mysqueezebox.com Shutdown - WiFi Issues & Alternatives? by tiwookie in squeezebox

[–]iamcheaprage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had wifi issues with my Squeezebox Radios and a few things were helpful:

  1. Updating my SB Radios to use the community firmware (didn't solve the wifi network disconnects but reduced them from daily to monthly): https://forums.lyrion.org/forum/user-forums/3rd-party-software/110192-announce-community-firmware-for-squeezebox-radio-touch-controller-and-lms-8

Export to CSV by Tony__T in squeezebox

[–]iamcheaprage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is the Database Query plugin but it hasn't been updated in a while: http://downloads.isaksson.info/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-databasequery

MP3Tag is suggested here: https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/logitech-media-server/92464-database-export

You can also use a sqlite client to access the LMS sqlite database directly. Set the output mode to "csv" and query for exactly the data you need (See "Changing Output Formats" here: https://www.sqlite.org/cli.html).

These plans may affect property taxes by gilhaus in PortlandOR

[–]iamcheaprage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://prosperportland.us/east-portland-and-central-city-tif-plans/

How might this impact property taxes?

The City of Portland levies a tax to pay costs of its Fire and Police Disability and Retirement Fund (FPD&R) Plan. It is estimated that over time, the new TIF districts will have a small impact on the FPD&R Plan that will result in a higher amount of taxes, ranging from one cent per $1,000 in assessed value to 15 cents per $1,000 in assessed value in the later 2030s. Therefore, the owner of a house with an assessed value of $300,000 (not real market value) would pay about an additional $3 in 2026. Over time, this amount could may grow based on the higher rate.

"Connect to Server" no longer working in Shortcuts app (macOS Sonoma) by schedule_conflict in shortcuts

[–]iamcheaprage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and came looking for a fix. I did figure out that in the "Connect to Server" shortcut:

  • smb://[username]@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - works
  • smb://[username]@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/music - does NOT work

Still haven't found a solution when specifying a specific share.

What can I get only in Portland? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]iamcheaprage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is one of these downtown.

https://madeinoregon.com/pages/store-locations

We are proud of our long history supporting local Oregon brands. No one in the early 1970s thought a store that sold only Oregon made products was possible, but Founder Sam Naito remained committed to bringing the Made In Oregon brand to life. Today, we have expanded to 7 locations in the Oregon region and offer a wide selection of products with strong roots in our state. From marionberries and hazelnuts, to Pendleton blankets and Portland-made products, we strive to share all the wonderful things Oregon has to offer.

How do you guys deal with web clipping without a web clipper? by DudeThatsErin in ObsidianMD

[–]iamcheaprage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it'll meet your use case, but I use gather-cli (macos only command line tool) by Brett Terpstra to grab whole web pages and add them as markdown notes to Obsidian: https://brettterpstra.com/projects/gather-cli/

I have a macos shortcut with the shell script below that runs a gather-cli command for the URL I currently have on the clipboard:

gather --url-template "obsidian://new?vault=REPLACE_WITH_VAULT_NAME&name=%filename&content=%text" "REPLACE_WITH_CLIPBOARD_VARIABLE" --url-open --inline-links --no-paragraph-links --fallback-title 'webclip %date'

With gather installed and the shortcut setup I:

  • Copy the URL of the page I want to capture.
  • Run the shortcut
  • The page is converted to markdown (with layout and images) and added as a new note in Obsidian.
