  • I used to game with a guy that swore by ps/2 keyboard for the interrupt supposedly making his inputs easier to perfectly time, but he got into a heated argument with my other gaming buddy over whether or not his mobo just had a usb ps/2 port that was basically a built in adapter and I never heard from either of them since.

    I wish arch was a thing back then so I could have thrown in the standard line and have the last laugh.





  • I was using just jellyfin for a while but navidrome got around some issues I was having, or rather the primary user of the music library was having with various things being wrong such as duplicate artists, incorrect album art, albums split into duplicates with opposite missing tracks. Once things went wrong in jellyfin it was a pain to figure out what the cause and fix were. Navidrome seems to base everything off the embedded tags and using lidarr to rewrite the tags, and for some albums rename the files, made everything show up correctly, then a delete missing files in navidrome cleans up the evidence and everyone is happy. The playlists are stored on the server too so if you don’t like a particular client app you don’t have to remake them if you try another, or just having them persist between mobile and desktop.

    This is what I call “mom did this”. I can set up a computer, use it myself for months, set up the same computer 2 more times and give one to my brother and each of my parents. Mom will somehow have problems that don’t exist and can’t be replicated and cant be fixed. Immutable/atomic becomes a thing then I’m thinking oh hell yeah no more weird problems. And it sure worked for everyone except mom. After logging in it loads the wallpaper then nothing else happens. Can’t switch to terminal, nothing seems wrong using a live image to diagnose. Swapping hard drives with identical hardware and neither has an issue for a while then mom’s goes bonkers again even if I give her the pc and a drive that originally had no issues. Actual how the fuck. Anyway mom uses alpine now and for whatever reason that hasn’t fallen apart in her hands.

    two angle grinders. one with an aluminum cutter and the other with a steel cutter. You can get into basically anything with that combo. cut off the hinges or around the rack locks and just take stuff you didn’t spray with metal dust.
