Without more info this is a good best guess. However, Instead of the graphics card I would suspect an undersized swap space to support hibernation.

Learned about the importance of trailing slashes in rsync by using the -delete flag.

Ableton’s Push 3 standalone runs Linux too. Same gripe about their DAW as well.

Lived through the 90s when the import car scene was huge. The term ricing back then was used when referring to asians who modified their cars, as a pejorative.

It really bummed me out to see it creep into the Linux community. Tried voicing displeasure back when I used Reddit and got blasted with downvotes and really distasteful comments, felt like I was alone in this feeling. Thanks, from some random Asian Linux user.

More recently, The Dø there is something really special about this performance. This version of Hangover is much better than the recorded version in my opinion.

All of the Blogotheque videos are pretty incredible, something for almost anyone to find compelling.

This is it. It’s not the worlds most well written book, but its repetitiveness and concepts are effective. Worked for me.

What distro do you use at work? Using that at home would benefit you professionally as well. I’d start there unless it’s redhat.

I like restic, haven’t seen it mentioned yet.

Voyager, mostly because it’s similar to Apollo, a very popular app for Reddit, in many ways. As I was an Apollo user, it is nice to have some of the features replicated.

You should be able to do wildcards with acme V2 and a dns challenge: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acme-v2-and-wildcard-certificate-support-is-live/55579

You would manage internal dns and would never need to expose anything as it’s all through validation through a TXT record.

You could use also something like traefik to manage the cert generation and reverse proxying:

I’m going go against the grain and recommend a spinning disk for your situation. Writing backups and serving files will likely be overkill with and ssd. Depending on your version of pi you might even saturate the USB bus before you get anywhere near the speed your ssd provides. I’ve been using WD 2.5” spinners on a pi for the very purposes you describe for years.

Hey, I’ve been a drummer for over 30 years. When I started I got a practice pad. That was really the only option outside of a full set and it worked well. You’ll need to build your fundamentals with rudiments that you can apply on a full kit. This takes some time. That’s not to say you can’t jump into a drum set right away, but I can be a frustrating starting point and as you point out, expensive.

As a work around you can set up other objects around your pad and tap your feet to get a feel for coordination on a full set. Once you’ve made some progress and reach the level of uncontrollable tapping on random objects and air drumming day and night, it’s probably a good indicator you’re in deep and probably need to invest in something.

I will add that buying an electronic kit was the best decision I made, and I wish I had done it earlier, and not been such a purist. The main reason being, I can practice more often, and it provides a more drum like experience.

For a first pad there’s lots of options, gum rubber is a favorite, there are some multi surface pads that you may also want to try, if you want to pretend you’re playing on the worlds tiniest kit. For sticks, start with marching drum sticks or “corps” sticks and get a pair of 5A or 5Bs. Work with the corps sticks for a few months and bring in the smaller sticks to get used to those too. The larger sticks will help you build strength and are over all easier to work with. All this should be obtainable for under $100 USD.

Good luck and hope you enjoy drumming!

If I’m reading this right, ars claims that 3.0 is not limited to pro only.

FFVIIR and enjoying it. I’m getting the hang of the hybrid battle system, it’s a good balance of the two, curious about other titles that mix action and almost turn based style commands. Still a little annoyed at the camera and target locking, but have gotten used to it after switching to d-pad targeting.

Also just escaped fort joy in Divinity Original Sin 2. Such a great game.

Have you tried meditating? I find it helps with what you are experiencing with panic. Consciously practicing letting unwanted thoughts pass can help when difficult moments occur in everyday life. A good book on the subject that I’ve read is Full catastrophe living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Hope you find some relief.

David Hilowitz is my go to for interesting music technology content. It’s engaging, relaxing and they’re always tinkering with something. Each video is just the right length. No clickbait titles. Patrons get free sample libraries. David seems like a genuinely good person as well.

I used a web app like this before installing the beta of mlem.

You can use swipe gestures to go back and forth on web apps. Just swipe from the edge of the left side of the screen to go back, right to go forward.

Dedicate a set amount of time when you only use the cli to accomplish things. Pick simple, low risk things like cleaning up unneeded downloads in your downloads directory. Start with one file then try wildcards, brace expansion and regex.

View logs and grep to find specific events. Investigate (read only) what type of data is provided under different directories under /.

Use online resources to learn a scripting language, bash is convenient to start with, as it’s a common default shell and can be used for scripting. Learning bash can translate to one liners and eventually scripts.

This is a good resource, but I would recommend to not read it like a book, but maybe investigate sections of interest after you get a feel for some of the early topics: https://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/
