  • How could it not be, haha. The biggest difference is that the hot mode puts a clean boost behind the dirt.

  • I explain all the pedals in my original post, but you're way off.

  • which news aggregator on mobile can you recommend?

    Jump

  • I've been using Capy Reader as a frontend for FreshRSS for a while now, and I love it. It's flexible and intuitive.

    It's not useful to discover new content though, I guess you'll need a different solution for that. I usually just search a topic and RSS and try some feeds. I keep the ones I like and remove the rest.

  • What are you guys using to sort and name music?

    Jump

  • I get most of my music from Bandcamp and I use Jellyfin as my streaming service. I wrote a script where I fill in the artist, album title and the download link. It then creates the relevant directories, downloads and unpacks the files and then fixes the metadata using beets with the last.fm plugin to get the genre tags. Jellyfin then does the rest.

    I've been wanting change the script up, so that it creates the directories after the metadata is correct, but I'll need an evening of hyper focus for that.

  • Awesome, thank you!

  • Have you ever oiled your fretboard?

    Jump

  • That's exactly how I started playing guitar. I had a cheap strat, with no setup. I got used to it and I could play it fine.

    I bought more guitars over the years, and when I moved out, I didn't even bother bringing that guitar with me. Earlier this year l, my mom asked me to clean out some crap from my old bedroom, so I decided to take the guitar, give it some much needed attention and sell it. I cleaned the grime off of the fretboard and set it up properly. All of a sudden it went from a shitbox to a very decent guitar.

    The new owner has a better strategy than I ever had, haha.

  • Best camera app for grapheneOS

    Jump

  • I use Open Camera. Great app, pretty intuitive, with lots of options. The downside is, there's lots of options, so it can be annoying when you quickly want to take a picture, but the settings are all wrong for the situation.

  • It's good work

    Jump

  • This is one of the few shows where I never skip the intro. Sometimes I even rewind, because I missed either the pun on the storefront or on the van.

  • French startup Mistral launches chatbot for companies, triples revenue in 100 days

    Jump

  • I have been using Le Chat ever since I first heard of it, a couple of months ago and I never looked back. I watched an interview and Q&A with their CEO a while ago, and I like his attitude and vision. They seem to want to work towards company specific solutions, so this step makes sense.

  • Music Monday - what have you been listening to?

    Jump

  • I've been obsessed with All My Best Friends Are Ghosts by vōx. Very atmospheric and personal dark electro pop from Portugal. Bandcamp for those interested.

  • Use what you like, what plays comfortable and what fits your budget. Don't tell my Fender Player Jaguar, but I just love my cheap Squier Super-Sonic. I love my Orange Dark Terror, but sometimes my Moore Preamp Live or my Spark is just more convenient.

  • Anyone tried an Ice-Watch yet?

    Jump

  • It does. I hadn't worn it in months, but I picked it up today and the time was still correct on the minute. I was checking their website and their new smart watches look like a big improvement, too. Like I said, you do get bang for your buck.

  • Anyone tried an Ice-Watch yet?

    Jump

  • I bought one almost ten years ago and it's quite nice. Good for the price and if you like colorful watches, they have some great color schemes. I haven't tried their smart watches, but I have heard they're not impressive. But then again, they're cheap. They often have big discounts on their website, so you can always give it a try.

  • What are your favorite RSS feeds?

    Jump

  • I use it for all kinds of stuff, a lot of it Dutch. I have feeds on general news, some tech stuff, some Gizmodo tags for topics I enjoy, guitar and music news, and daily comics. The feeds I follow have been trial and error. Some of them have way too much articles and they get annoying. At that point I remove them and look for something else.

  • What are your favorite RSS feeds?

    Jump

  • I used to use Nextcloud News as well, but it stopped working for a while after a new NC version was released, some time last year. I installed FreshRSS as a temporary solution, but I never looked back. Yes, it's convenient that you don't need an extra service and that it's integrated in NC, but FreshRSS is very customizable and has a much better user experience. You can always link it to Nextcloud as an external page.

  • Looking for a good RSS Reader

    Jump

  • I second FreshRSS, but I use Readrops as Android client. Nothing beats the normal FreshRSS mobile experience though. I haven't tried Capyreader yet, but I'm gonna check it right now. Update: FreshRSS and Capy Reader it is. I'm impressed with how intuitive and customizable CR is. Thanks for the tip!

  • What's something that's seen as Obsolete, but isn't?

    Jump

  • With both, it also matters how you store it. But like I said, (modern) cassettes are not for HiFi. If I really want to immerse myself in a record, I need the vinyl. The whole experience is just so much fun.
