Dr. Teeth has not aged well at all

Intended as a pun on Latavia’s recordings, and that this would arguably be Dick’s Pick, which sounds almost the same as Dick’s Pick’s. I also thought about a dick pic joke but I’ll always choose whatever is most obscure from my perspective

Curious they don’t mention his arguably better known series of Phish recordings

Oh my realization fuse slow burned on this. I was in to the next thing when it hit me. 10/10

Only the Earl of Sandwich may designate what is or is not a sandwich. The original Sandwich sandwich was Roast Beef. Anything else is just sparkling white bread.

It was literally years between when i had first heard of this band and when i finally heard the band.

Blinken, they’ve taken the castle!

What you just described sounds like my experience with stevia, could be that? Thankfully I canceled back when they stopped offering cafe latte.

Fanus

I remember in a documentary the band were talking about the paradox that they are the only people who can’t have that amazing first cold listen to dark side and I think about that a lot

Yeah, i have light sensitivity issues so for my needs i went with the Blend. Blend+Loops is my go to combo to turn the intensity down on the world without fully blocking out anything. Otherwise it’s headphones.

100% misguided attempt, no offense intended and im sorry that i missed the mark that bad, for my part I’ll say more in the future about why. I did think it was a long shot but that’s exactly the kind of thing i could have included but didn’t. i hope you track it down and again, so sorry, not my intention to insult or be rude or otherwise waste your time

I don’t wear prescription glasses but I have a pair of TheraSpecs that I use for shopping or anywhere with fluorescent lights. Partner has the epilepsy ones and I’ll vouch for both. I was super skeptical initially but check out the their research, whitepapers, look up the authors, theyve had their results independently reproduced and shown them at scale. We bought the epilepsy ones first and after i saw my partner don them when i was expecting a seizure and then fully recover I grabbed the autism recommended pair. The epilepsy ones have prescription lenses so that is an option. Both are high quality but pricey. They go on sale every so often, I wish they were cheap enough that I could have extras to just give out, like i do with books and some stim toys but they are life changing for us.

I just discovered Qobuz, its a French music streaming app that feels more like a record store than a streaming platform. You can also buy tracks, many of them in audiophile quality. Their pro plan includes a discount on lots of tracks.

What you dont get is anything algorithmic or AI at all. New music discovery is fully back on your hands but you’ll have to decide for yourself if the editorial content is enough to offset that

I am splitting my purchases between subvert.fm (over bandcamp these days, look into it and make your own call) and qobuz is the only music streamer I’ll use, they are at the top end of artist compensation per stream.

Discovery is a more interactive process for me now, but, i personally find it more rewarding. YMMV.

Even if you decide this isn’t for you, please use subvert or bandcamp or direct purchase in those rare cases that they offer it.

Stay away from the big names in this space, go to live shows, buy direct merch, we need to do anything we can to remove every intermediary between us and the artists we love and that provide the soundtracks to our lives.

I realize that I’m saying this all from a place of privilege. To those who can’t afford these things, i have been in that position. Do what you have to do, support artists as best you can, but only if you reasonably can. Look out for yourselves first.

I have a bunch of Fanxiang 4TB drives, eg S880. I didn’t set out to have so many but crucial, Samsung, etc all failed way too often in early life.

I bought a few on a lark and stocked up on those and pine 64 stuff to do a 36 node ceph cluster (if you figured i got the idea from Jeff Geerling you get a gold star!)

Last year my heat went out during below freezing temperatures and I lost three Toshiba drives, out of three total.

Cluster is almost 2 years old and I degoogled with it. I have an additional rack of raspis and orangepis that run my k3s cluster, Jellyfin runs on that along with some additional infrastructarr.

The k3s nodes run off of virtual iscsi images served by ceph, rgw gateway for s3 compatible api, and the only public exposure requires access to my zerotier network. My home router runs it, then my phone and laptop and that’s all within the zerotier free plan.

The Fanxiangs have exceeded my expectations and they are competitively priced. Watch their eBay store for the occasional bulk discount deal. Give one a try, I run my laptop and desktop on them now as well.

Feels like I’m being presented to “society” 🤭

1000% this game had amazing music. For a system that had only a couple of pulse waves, a sine wave, a white noise channel and a sampler channel using an algorithm that was already over 30 years old in 1983 some games really got an amazing amount of expression out of them. I’ve always felt that this game’s soundtrack was criminally underrated.
