Single-Board Computers (Raspberry Pi, Odroid, etc). I can't stress how much these have improved my life. Whether it's a simple PiHole filtering out ads, or my Predator Deterrent system for my Chickens, they've made life much easier.

I still have my PSP and Vita. They really are amazing portable emulation devices.

That's a great example of a business taking part in the community. If they go out of their way to be helpful like that, which costs the money, I'm okay with them trying to recoup a little bit through the goodwill they put in.

This is a German thing? I know tons of people here in Canada who do it.

Likewise. I just found it much easier when trying to schedule my day. Not having to account for the switch from 12-1 makes the math simpler.

2006 is when I first dipped my toes into Linux, I recently verified this with some old SomethingAwful posts I had made way back then. I think Ubuntu was starting to get really popular, and I wanted to give it a shot. That's what I remember anyway.

I immediately loved it, and have been using some form of Linux on my Laptop since. My Dekstop still runs Windows, but that's mostly for Gaming and a few other applications that don't play well under Wine or Proton.

I use it as intended; a way to aggregate data into one place. I use mine for podcasts, reddit, discord announcements, steam patch notes, and of course news.

I like the way /r/3DPrinting handled ads. Their mods put it like this,

"It's okay for a Redditor to have a business and share it. It's not okay for a business to have a Reddit account and do the same."

Basically, does that account contribute to the community outside of their business? If so, I don't take issue with it.

I haven't tried it so I can't speak to the features/results you get, but I do know Serato is closed-source. I always go with FOSS if I can.

Very true. Puns are one of the hardest forms of comedy to pull off.

I use Ampsims nearly exclusively. When I'm practising or just noodling I don't have any intention to record. Carla has a much smaller footprint than a standard DAW, and therefore less energy usage.

Keep in mind I'm a string instrument player primarily. I don't play with synths or anything like that.

Drinking Water has a 100% fatality rate. Everyone who drinks it eventually dies.

(also a good example of why correlation =/= causation)

Ill throw in some obscure ones I use daily.

• StemRoller. It's an AI-powered toolthat takes an mp3 and separates each instrument into its own file. Im a musician, and having access to stems like this is a game changer.
• Carla is a tool for hosting VST plugins without the need for a full DAW. I primarily use Amp Simulators, and this has become a mandatory tool on any computer I use. It's also maintained by the creator of KXStudio.

Ive been listening to these two for years. I highly recommend anything Brad Shoemaker-related.

Puns are the highest form of comedy. I will die on this hill if I must.

The Wheel of Time MUD is amazing.

Plex Debrid doesn't actually download the file to your computer, it just streams it. It tricks your OS into thinking it's locally stored, but it isn't.

Jerboa is still fairly new and hasn't implemented all the features yet. That said, Google exists. Before making my previous post I actually verified that the search would have worked for them.

Usenet connections can be encrypted. No need for a VPN or any other obfuscation.

I have been on SA a bunch lately too. 13 years later and I still don't understand FYAD.
