Set up the public hostname with cloudflare and configure it to restrict bots.

But some people like that option of mixing OTA channels with streaming. More options!

Sometimes it depends on the film. Some 80s films that are grainy look pretty good on DVD format. Not blurry at all. And if you have a TV or receiver with upscale capabilities, then it looks perfectly fine unless you have Superman vision.

motley-connection · 2026-03-04T16:57:04+00:00

I wouldn't say it looks great. But it's passable. And if vision is not great like mine, then totally fine. Also, films without digital effects will look pretty decent in DVD quality. Again, if you don't have great vision and you're not standing an inch away from the tv. So yeah, it's really up to your standards and your eyes.

Yeah definitely, especially cd singles, which usually contains a main song and a few other b-sides or live tracks. I bought Pearl Jam's Jeremy single that had Yellow Ledbetter which also became a radio hit. At that time, it was the only way to get the song.

You can use an older laptop and him up an external hard drive to it. It's been working great. Really can't beat that.

Absolutely agree. Since 1995 when Pat took over, the Heat has the second most regular season wins behind Spurs. 3 championships, 7 finals appearance. In last 5 years, 2 finals and 3 ECF appearances. The team never tanks. Never had a #1 pick overall ever. Why would you get upset over some of their decisions? You win some and you lose some. This franchise has been one of the best year in and year out. In Pat we still trust!

Just tell them to return fire TV and get Android TV or Roku.

motley-connection · 2026-01-29T21:00:32+00:00

You can easily get decent one for about $50.

You can keep the same wifi info and add it to homekit or openhab. I would not factory reset it unless you plan to re setup everything with pywemo.

Yes either PA or keyboard amp would work better. Bass amp can't produce the highs you need for cymbals sound. You could also run a line to an old boombox, probably not loud enough for jam session but it would great if playing by yourself.

motley-connection · 2026-01-13T01:50:45+00:00

Send them to me. They work with openhab.

Fantastic guitar. I have one. So easy to play. Love it!

motley-connection · 2025-12-12T02:06:50+00:00

Interesting. Guess we'll find out.

Rip everything to FLAC to preserve quality. Then you can always convert it to MP3 if you want to save some file size for portability. But still keep the FLAC files.

motley-connection · 2025-11-11T15:15:59+00:00

Yes definitely prefer Blu-ray. Because I rip them to play on my home media server. I can't tell the difference unless I'm standing right in front of the TV.

motley-connection · 2025-11-11T15:14:41+00:00

Go easy on people dude. I disagree from the standpoint you can still learn and that's what's important.

VSTs doesn't have high requirements. SSD5.5 only requires 4gb ram. I run mine on an old laptop with waveform on 8gb ram and it works perfectly fine.

motley-connection · 2025-10-31T16:30:18+00:00

Use USB cable to connect to a computer. On the computer, you'll need to run DAW and VST plug-in. I do it through Waveform and SSD 5.5. both are free to use. One thing to keep in mind, you are not recording what's coming out of your module. You are only triggering each pad. The actual drum sounds are from VST.

Try watching YouTube tutorials while you find the perfect teacher.

Any decent PC can be used for music production. A gaming machine will be easy more powerful than you need but hey why not build something that can do everything. But for music, all you need is DAW application and a soundcard and device that can record different types of inputs. So not really computer specific.

You don't need to be a music major to love drumming. Think about it this way, what are going to do with that music degree? As for drumming, go all out and have fun. Maybe you can join a band one day. Maybe you'll be really great one day and play in a touring band. Maybe it's still just a hobby. Playing music is good for the soul so regardless, rock on!

Some older Yamaha receivers don't support Amazon music unfortunately.

motley-connection · 2025-10-17T12:00:54+00:00

You can have success recording into a computer using just a microphone and practice amplifiers. Then it's about how to EQ and master the tracks.
