Roads from the same concert is just heart rendingly good

What a wall of sound. I've never heard guitars quite like this album before or since.

Doesn't get much better than this. Heart-rending, in the best possible way

 

So, I have an old 3rd or 4th gen Intel NUC that's I used to use to run Kodibuntu back in the day. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a low power home server to run the *arr suite, Jellyfin and nextcloud plus maybe some other bits. Nothing too taxing that I can see.

Obviously I need hard drive space to go with this. Is a USB enclosure, directly attached, going to be fast enough? Or do I need to go to a NAS of some kind? Alternatively, my router has a USB connection for a HDD - would that be better?

A quick google shows that a significant proportion of the arguments presented in this 'movie' have already been thoroughly debunked. For example, https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of-cold-myths.html has a nice summary.

Fascinating read - interesting that the origin of the hack is not yet known (or at least, released). I wonder what the stats are on these sorts of exploits in OSS - the concept relies so much on trust and individuals.

Thanks for that - wasn't aware of this and looks good

Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is sublime.

Not an album I know well. For some reason I always gravitate to Love Over Gold and Making Movies - I know those albums like the back of my hand. Masterpieces, both of them. I must give this another listen

Guess I'd never really listened properly to those lyrics. Makes sense it's about homelessness... To be fair, it's pretty bloody hard to understand what EV's singing at the best of times.

I often wonder what changed about Pearl Jam's songwriting - they never managed to recapture that same intensity that Ten had. Incredible debut, not a bad song on that album. Then Vs, a couple, maybe three dud songs. Vitalogy, maybe 50/50. Stopped listening pretty much after that. Certainly never bought another of their albums.

Like Vedder's solo stuff tho.

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I'm striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn't respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.

Wasn't aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must've tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can't get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn't click for me and I can't get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I'd rather not...
