The worst thing about using a mac at work is now trying to close browser tabs with Win-W.

Sometimes I wonder if other music genres are as complicated as metal, I mean as an ontology of how subgrenres are called, formed, categorized.

For example I started looking at Wikipedia's "List of symphonic metal bands" and while I know Wikipedia isn't the greatest resource for this, at least it has a lot of bands.

Anyway, the point is that every time I do this, I just end up with a list of 20 bands and 100 albums I might like because they're being described as similar to what I have an example and I end up not listening to 20 bands and 100 albums.

Recommendation is hard and no, I'm not going to use Spotify.

Heya everyone! I am starting a new job in Munich on the first of March. For this, I am looking for a room to stay in for a few weeks, probably up to three months, while I look for an apartment.

I am already in contact with a few private landlords, but if someone has a spare room to offer, I would love to take that instead.

- I'm able to pay for rent and utilities
- I would appreciate being able to register at the address

Boosts are welcome!

winktech? no! man, see...

here's what I would love: an SD card image I can flash and put in a pi that turns it into a demoscene jukebox where it just runs thru random "best of" playlists forever, maybe some minimal controls for skipping around

here's my understanding of why that won't work: most demoscene works target x86 windows specifically so ARM linux is incompatible for multiple reasons

here's a cheesy workaround I don't want to do: yt-dlp some playlists resulting in many many gigabytes of video files; this just feels wasteful and antithetical to everything the demoscene stands for

here's a potential workaround: instead of a pi, run it on an old thinkpad running linux? would wine cut the mustard on this or are demos typically more exacting than it can achieve? is it realistic to accomplish this without involving windows at all? (I know I could if we were talking about emulating C64 or amiga or whatever but I want 4k stuff too) does this exist?

Been playing with k3s since last night. I now have an irc bouncer (quassel) running on my (single node) cluster.
