When I looked for a Plex alternative I settled on Emby. It still has some "premium" features but they're all just QOL, not necessary things. The base app is great and even has handy little features Plex doesn't, and so far, it runs on all the same devices with a much snappier UX on the client side.

Do you honestly believe that DJs, particularly the very famous ones, just play CDs?

Discussions about "DJs" are difficult because there's a WIDE range of skills behind what we call a DJ.

Yes, some have zero skill and will basically just show up with a pre-determined Spotify playlist. They won't even have mixing/transitions between songs.

Some are in the middle and will be able to do basic transitions between songs (ie, just simple beat matching) and know how to carry a vibe.

At the far end of the spectrum are actual composers that are effectively making new mixes of songs on the fly.

And so you have the problem where someone says "Being a DJ takes a lot of skill" because they're thinking of the last category, while the person hearing that message replies with "How does it take skill to just press Play?" because they're thinking of the first.



I think many of them don't even do that live anymore, as the entire set has been mixed upfront in order to preprogram visual/light/pyro effects. :-)

Curious if you've heard of or participated in NaNoGenMo[0] before. With such a corpus at your fingertips could be a fun little project; obviously, pure Markov generation wouldn't be quite sufficient but a good starting point maybe.

Hey that's neat! I hadn't heard of it. It says you need to publish the novel and the source at the end - so I guess as part of the submission you'd include the RNG seed.

The only thing I'm a bit wary of is the submission size - a minimum of 50,000 words. At that length, It'd be really difficult to maintain a cohesive story without manual oversight.


I have a pet tool I use for conlang work for writing/worldbuilding that is built on Markov chains and I am smacking my forehead right now at how obvious this seems in hindsight. This is great advice, thank you.


This is the same setup I used for years with no issues, both KeePassXC and multiple Obsidian vaults, along with some other random files and folders. Syncthing is pretty much rock solid. Now I have the KeePassXC database stored on my NAS which is even simpler.


The cool thing with KeePass is that each client is also a local backup. It's pretty neat.


The DSM isn't the only book, and is not the singular source of diagnosis around the world, so believing that because CPTSD is not in the DSM and therefore doesn't exist is also disingenuous.

The ICD does have an entry for Complex PTSD, but it may not match what many people think of as CPTSD, which from what I see is closer to what Bessel van der Kolk called "developmental trauma."


Having recently read through a handful of issues on their forums, they seems to brush aside a lot of things. It's a useful tool but the mod / dev team they have working with the community could use some training.


That was my experience as well. But it was interesting to see what was popular with other users, and I found a cool artist (yeule) this way.


I don't see how any of these could be considered "mystery" veggies in most contexts, let alone on pizza.


I'm pretty sure they weren't unrecognizable or mystery and it's just being used as a pejorative for food they didn't like


Outside of going back to school for another degree, how would this shift be possible?
