I know I could search for this online, but word of mouth is so often superior and it also feels like kinda the point of lemmy…but got any recs for some punk or punk adjacent bands/albums? Particularly recent stuff or old if it holds up to the current climate. I got into RATM around this time last year and nothing else has come close to scratching the itch of “maaaan fuck this shit.”

(In addition to the stuff mentioned in your original comment, of course!)

Edit: seems like this thread is building a bit of a list on its own, actually!!

“Kids today - so desensitized by movies and television. WHATDDYOUWAAANT!?”

Something about that fills me with joy every time I see the movie.

I’m wondering what a modern equivalent of damnatio memoraie would look like. Probably not really feasible, but that’s just what this guy needs.

Architect here, not a programmer. I’ve taken Python classes but was never good enough too use it regularly. Using Gemini, I’ve been able to work through creating half a dozen scripts for automating tedious tasks and optimizing models/drawings. I’m hoping to improve myself so I can eventually make use of it for even more useful things, but as a start it’s been awesome. Not perfect, it makes a lot of mistakes, but I’ve been able to work with it to get things right.

Steam Deck + Moonlight was a game changer for me. Played and beat Alan Wake 2 from my couch and bed. Steam Link had too high of latency for me.

Started with Zorin but had a rough time. I didn’t realize until actual months later that my issues were due to a hardware fault and had nothing to do with the OS. By the time I realized, however, I had settled on Mint. I’ve since tried a handful of distros but always come back to Mint because I’m so used to it now. I do recommend Zorin for its level of polish and apparent desire to simplify the transition for folks coming from Windows.

On my daily commute, I would normally pass 2 or 3 cars for sale parked out in people’s front yards. Last I counted, that number was 12. More if I were to include other things suddenly for sale, like boats, bikes, and golf carts.

Have one unraid lifetime license, just paid for a second license yearly for my backup off-site machine. Been using truenas on the off-site, but its primary storage is USB which I didn’t realize truenas isn’t fond of. Ah well. It’ll be a little easier this way, anywho.

In grade school I remember looking up at a brightly colored sign above the door that read, “you are not your circumstance.” Decades later, I still think about it as a reminder to treat myself and others a little better.

I’m pretty new to Linux (currently on Mint) and I have yet to get Easy Effects to work. I’m certain I’m the problem, but I’ve tried following guides and videos, yet as soon as I try using it, my friends on Discord say my audio becomes garbled and robotic. One of these days I’ll sort it out. One of these days lol

I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.

I am. Paid plan equates to like $2-3 per month. Tied it into Tailscale (I think TS has official docs explaining how) and haven’t given it another thought.

On mobile but look up TRASH guides. That’s what I used in my setup and I’m able to watch stuff almost as soon as it downloads and I still let it seed for awhile after. Also using Unraid, Arr apps, and Jellyfin.

My wife and I use Immich via Tailscale to avoid the need of any proxying and serious account management. That said, I have yet to fully transition from GP because I have at least one shared album that a few dozen people regularly access. Still need to test setting up a shared album w/ reverse proxy for this one. But then if I want to share another album I’d likely need to set up another proxy…or see if shared albums share a common URL I could use as a catch all. Still need to test.

Our musical tastes seem almost perfectly aligned, so I’ll try and throw out a few curve balls:

1. AJR - pretty corny, but fuck if almost every song ain’t a bop.
2. The Districts - A Flourish and a Spoil
3. Mansions - Dig Up the Dead
4. Stop Light Observations - oRANGE.
5. Disco Elysium Soundtrack has been my go to of late when I don’t want lyrics cluttering my head.

Masters in Architecture. Required to become a licensed architect. Almost every facet of the job can be done without a degree/license. Most of my coworkers only have a bachelor’s, if that. You typically just get paid more and can get more responsibilities (and, by extension, liability) with a license.

Been using Logseq since February and it’s been a game changer. My only gripes are a) inability to access via browsers, and b) lack of a quick note function. Sometimes I still use Keep to jot something down and transfer later. Logseq spends a solid 5+ seconds syncing upon opening, which can feel like an eternity when trying to quickly log something.

It’s not open source, but I got a lifetime license for Enpass over a decade ago and it’s done everything I’ve ever needed it for. I think stacksocial occasionally has new lifetime codes for sale. I like the idea of Proton Pass as others have said, but it feels a bit like putting all my eggs in one basket, which is a mistake I already made with Google before (context: I use Proton for email). I think Keepass is the next best option if dedicated to staying FOSS.

After trying Zorin and having a host of issues, I’m slowly replacing that dual boot option with Mint. Excited to give it a shot.

Visual designer for websites. There are many others like it. I used webflow for multiple projects and really enjoyed it. Haven’t touched it for a couple years though. Once I ran out of commercial projects to use it for, I couldn’t afford to keep it for personal use.
