Since we started to host our Navidrome server at home we are trying to get a few things every bandcamp friday.

Today I got:

• Disco Elysium OST by Sea Power
• Pertubator - UNCANNY VALLEY
• Alcest - Sapphire (Pertubator Version)

My spouse got:

• Amaro Freitas - Y'Y
• Amaro Freitas - Sankofa
• John Carpenter - Anthology: Movie Themes 1974​-​1998

If you're getting anything today, please share it! We'd love to get to know new stuff.

Anyone playing LE release? Will be playing as a duo with my spouse as soon as we're done with work today!

I'd like to try getting some insights on how to improve the place where we spend most of our time on and I really really don't want to post on Reddit.

Our current setup consists of: TV Samsung Q90T Soundbar Samsung Q950T Nvidia Shield Pro Video game consoles (PS5/Switch/Steam deck)

Shield connects to the Soundbar using pass-through. Soundbar is connected to the TV using eARC. PS5 connected to the TV. Switch connected to the Soundbar (it was the only way we managed to get surround working).

The shield -> soundbar -> TV connection was due to a bug that the TV wasn't passing codecs properly to the soundbar (DTS-MA, etc). This setup is around 3 years old. We mainly use our shield as a media device and don't really use it for remote playing, specially after getting the Steam Deck.

So my questions are:

• How beneficial would be an AVR to this setup? We've been having a few annoying issues that might be solved by adding an AVR but since we aren't very knowledgeable we aren't sure. For example, sometimes where the Soundbar just disconnects from the TV and takes from 5 to 10 minutes to start functioning properly again. The PS5 audio also cuts out sometimes.
• Is there a viable option to replace the Nvidia Shield Pro? We are starting to hate Android/Google TV and wanted something where we could have the same quality but without anything Google related. I saw you could install LineageOS on it but would lose many features.

Appreciate any insights and hopefully someone sees this post lol

It has been ongoing for me for almost two weeks. At first I thought it could be my phone, but I got a new phone last week and it has been happening in the new one too. One crashes was system wide and caused the phone to reboot.

I suspected it could be a custom extension that I use (Control Panel for Twitter) but happens even while the extension is disabled.

Does anyone that pays for proton also use it with a SO? We've been looking to pay for it but the family plan looks like an overkill for us. The viable alternative is paying for the Mail Plus plan for each of us but we are a bit worried that we won't be able to share calendars.

Would appreciate if someone else has the same use case as us and could share their experiences. Thanks!

People that have the anti-glare premium screen, do you have a protector on it?

We didn't think about it too much and ended up putting a glare protector on top of our antiglare screen but I am thinking about removing it. I saw a few pictures of antiglare screen protectors but they don't look as good. Thoughts?

Hey lemmy,

I've been in need of outside mental support for a while now but I'd like to confirm my current options. I was able to get counseling for free through my school but since I graduated I can't benefit from it anymore. Is the only way now paying private counseling? I checked my spouse health insurance and it covers like $300/year which apparently barely covers two sessions. I'd appreciate any insight and information. Thank you!

Everywhere you browse, people have such strong opinions about everything and are so toxic or extremely negative. You start playing a game, want to check the forums or something and most of the posts are people being mean to each other. You open social media to keep in touch with people that you'd like to maintain a certain level of contact and there's always some people that are always complaining about every single thing.

I see myself more and more closing myself into a bubble which makes me appreciate Beehaw much more. I know I am guilty of being taken away by the toxicity and sometimes replying things I wouldn't be proud of but since I joined Beehaw I see myself policing myself more and more focused on being better.

Just a quick rant, I currently started playing Baldur's Gate 3 and I am honestly pissed off on the fact people can't give feedback without being rude or "gamers" just shitting on developers because they are stans of another game. I wanted to be active on the forum and comment on bugs and such because I want the game to be better but it is so depressing reading people being awful so often.

Why are we so shitty to each other? I'm so tired.

Edit: Pardon me if I used weird terms or grammar errors, english isn't my first language

Edit2: removed specifics

I'm currently thinking on modding my Ducky with mill-max sockets. I know there is a lot of soldering involved but seems like a cool project. While looking for people that done the same thing I only found this reddit post. Is there anything better than the mill-max socket these days or should I just go for them?

Thanks!
