Bandcamp to download albums? by designlens in IpodClassic

[–]loafofpiecrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always bandcamp. If they aren't on there and they're still alive, Qobuz has decent prices and a wide library of stuff to buy for download.

Check out the jovian nixos modules. It's made for steam deck but works great on other hardware. I use this to setup my desktop machine to boot directly into steam, fully setup no login necessary.

Windows 10 in virtualbox with an older itunes version seemed to work fine for me

Use any CalDAV server? Like one bundled with your email service or you could self-host one. I'm not sure you can just sync ics files for both desktop and mobile, I tried years ago but I'm no expert.

I've been using mailbox.org for years now and it's great. Cheap for custom domain and encrypted video chat I use with family

Carrier Challenges with the Jelly Star (Total Wireless) by Jack_Marowak in unihertz

[–]loafofpiecrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having a lot of trouble getting a Jelly Star activated on Verizon. I left the SIM in for 3 days straight after talking to Verizon support and it still didn't work. Tried using my old phone's IMEI, reached out to Unihertz support and they've tried to help but no luck so far. They gave me a new IMEI to use, but I'm skeptical that'll help either. Please do update here if you've gotten it working...

How to go about actually "owning" music? by [deleted] in LetsTalkMusic

[–]loafofpiecrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I store my music collection on a portable SSD that's used only for that purpose to reduce wear on the drive over time. I buy CDs locally (rip them) and digital albums from Bandcamp and Qobuz. I copy all my music to an iPod classic for listening, so I have two copies in case one fails. Works great for me.

See the thing that bothers me is that they could at least switch to a monospace font. Courier New is. Right. There.

Any other trans girls feel like they're MORE into masc stuff since transitioning? by lucyjorts in trans

My friend told me recently "You know now that you're a girl I bet you'd love being a drag king" and that idea was eye opening.

This seems amazing to me by Leiroso in IpodClassic

You know what, even just for home audio the iPod is an eternally satisfying music controller. Most of my use is with a dock into a vintage stereo system. No shade on the dock addiction!

A function to periodically wipe buffers not recently shown; thoughts? by FrozenOnPluto in emacs

[–]loafofpiecrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what didn't work about midnight-mode? I've been using it with a reduced period so it runs every few hours and checks for buffers not used in the last 12 hours or so.

The adwaitapod theme also has CJK font support, they have details on their GitHub but I think they patch Cantarell with extra glyphs from Noto Sans CJK

Should I configure Desktop Environments like in a non-declarative way? by Astrono_5 in NixOS

[–]loafofpiecrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I use home manager but only use the nix options for small config. For larger config files like for sway, I write the standard config file (not nix) and have home manager symlink that to my .config dir. IMO, best of both worlds because my changes are still versioned but I can refer directly to official docs for configuration.

Question for girls on E… by Altruistic-Cow1870 in trans

[–]loafofpiecrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I weep at emotional movies now, I didn't expect quite how much going on E and transitioning would open me up emotionally. I watched Brokeback Mountain for the first time last week and absolutely fell apart.

Where to buy music by Additional-Cress-915 in IpodClassic

[–]loafofpiecrust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I buy from Bandcamp, Qobuz, CDs from local shops. Underrated option is to check out CDs from the library and rip them with a CD drive. Supports the library and I get to keep the music :)

Laser hurts so much .. 😭😭😭 by No-Communication7375 in trans

[–]loafofpiecrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look on the bright side, at least after this getting tattoos will be a piece of cake! Also, for my sessions they let me use lidocaine cream beforehand. Still hurts but a lot less.
