  • So I found appreciation for Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the creator after getting a pair of audio technica m50x to go with my Scarlett 2i2. I always liked a few songs from each of them but on those headphones in flac the music is legitimately night and day. They don’t even sound like the same music. Especially in the case of Kendrick who loves to throw tons of interesting things in to his beats that 100% go unnoticed unless you have a good set of headphones.

    Where it really makes a difference is in music that is very well produced but busy. A good example would be like the foo fighters. Typically to me they sound pretty meh due to the heavy use of crash cymbals. Compression of lesser quality formats just makes the fantastic guitar tones and everything else just meld into this kind of slop when you hear it in mp3. Seriously do a side by side on something like monkey wrench.

    A huge album that I have rediscovered is the entire album cross by Justice. It’s just mp3 but even with the dac and headphones it makes it sound great vs in the car only being meh thanks to repetitive things being highlighted.

    Tl;dr. Good headphones+dac+flac = makes 78% of music you have heard 1000 times gooder.


  • Basically it was a follow-up to the biggest diss track drop of our generation. There were a insane amount of drops during the performance to people who have been following the Kendrick x Drake beef as well as Kendricks follow though as a performer. Lots of political commentary and visual representations of the current climate as well as references to his previous works.

    Basically if you have been following the modern music industry for the past year or so then it was insane.

    If haven’t followed it then it was probably at least relatively entertaining as a side show if not then a bit confusing.




  • Networking is fun because there are literally infinite potential options. There really isn’t a best option. It’s just what do you prefer. In my case I like to write a docker compose and write a tailscale container into it. I then set the service I want to expose either to my own tailnet or to the internet through funnel or though this other implementation I came up with a while back that I still need to do a write up on. Either way here is a guide i wrote with some docs as reference on my forgejo (git alternative). Docs are kinda a mess but hopefully it makes sense enough to help you out.

  • That would be interesting. If this is going where I think it is then it would probably suck seeing as touch screen input feels exponentially worse with latency but nonetheless would be really cool to see work for hosting a web app of sorts for desktop use.

    Check out linuxserver.io, kasm and whatever the x11 version of waydroid is called. I can’t remember it at the moment. That should give you enough to get started building a container if you want.






  • Totally agree. It sounds like something was lost in translation here by the final edit of potentially some run though a llm for proof reading to dumb it down enough to either just make it more consumable, more clickbait or realistic both.

    My guess is the actual research reported that it was 100s of packets per second (not screenshots) which is still a lot more than you would expect even for spyware. Either way it’s been well known that smart tvs are spyware ridden, I don’t need a paywalled service to tell me that.


  • Aaaaand

    Pop goes the AI bubble.

    Last stages of capitalism for tech is usually in the form of an ipo of some sort which is what this will lead to.

    There will be other cool shit obviously with integrations and tools that will hopefully trickle down to open source models but the writing is on the wall. This is a cash out and enshittify move.

    The best news out of it is we will start to see less and less “our company is Ai and we shoved Ai into said thing” as the companies late to the game will continue to shoot their shot until OpenAI has completely dominated the market and investors stop caring.


  • I’d suggest learning what docker is and how to use it if you are trying to host it which is “installing” a web page.

    If you want an icon to go to a dedicated window (web app experience) there are lots of options with lots of advantages and disadvantages. Just research progressive web apps. This method is going to require the frontend be hosted so you either need an instance that is using this frontend or you need to host it yourself.

    Also to let you know. You’re getting downvotes because this is a very lazily asked question. You didn’t link to what it is you need help with, you asked the question in a manner that suggests you have done no research.

    No hate since everyone is a beginner but I really suggest you spend a little more time crafting your questions to the community. Also read a little on docker and how lemmy front ends work.

    In the meantime this should help you get started.

    Docker Official Documentation

    Afterwards go to the git repo of this ”app” pages source code. There is a one command solution to deploy it.

    Mlmym GitHub

    As long as docker is installed and set up you should just be able to enter the command for the deployment to get it running.

    Go to http://localhost:8080 or if that doesn’t work https://localhost:8080 in your browser as indicated by the command and there is your front end.
