I laughed way too hard at this. God damn the Beaverton is just on fire these days…

Honestly the Boycott had me going to my local bakery, butcher and farmers market. In some ways it’s surprisingly cheaper and in some ways it’s a little (and I mean little) bit more expensive but knowing that my money is going to my local community / farmers is 100,000% worth it. Haven’t had to go back since.

So I really feel you on that; nok er nok

Hell no - I stopped shopping at Loblaws since the boycott and I haven’t missed Shoppers Drug Mart one bit. I know that Shoppers is only one component of this health care empire but if it’s any indication, I won’t be needing anything else from Per Bank either. 🫡🫡🫡

The clips I’ve seen on other social media platforms has been horrifying to watch. I can only imagine what it must be like to be there right now - I hope your sister is safe 🙏

Gapless? Do you mean downloading media for offline playback? Yes:

Just be prepared for the space requirements of your media library as you may find your phone quickly running out of storage if you have a lot of high res audio:

I can confidently say that no it will not “intelligently use the LAN” when you’re on the same network - I don’t know of any service that will… unless Plex/Plexamp somehow does this?

The solution is as someone else said - use a DNS Server to forward it in your LAN to the internal IP. If you’re unsure how to do this, just search how to setup a Hairpin NAT for the router you own. I can confirm that once you set this up, it will work seamlessly with both Finamp and Jellyfin.

I’ve never used plex or plexamp but I have used Finamp for listening / offline downloading of my music collection from my Jellyfin server. Is this perhaps what you’re looking for? iOS: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/finamp/id1574922594 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unicornsonlsd.finamp

TIL - thank you for sharing this!

Unless you are blocking the vents on the back or top of the device, it’s very unlikely that you will drive your Steam Deck “too hard”. If you do somehow manage to drive it “too hard”, I don’t think it will warn you (someone correct me if I’m wrong on this) but what it should do instead is something called thermal throttling whereby the device will scale back it’s performance to stay within a certain thermal threshold.

Out of curiosity, which types of independent media (or more specifically which outlets) do you feel should be posted here?

As @[email protected] said in another comment, I’d second that you share relevant articles here as long as they fit within the community’s rules.

😅 This makes me very relieved to hear! I figured that if it was a hardware issue that I would notice it in other applications such as streaming games.

YES! I bought a 64GB model thinking that I could just use the MicroSD card for everything as my gaming needs aren’t very demanding, however between EmuDeck, ProtonUp-QT and Shader Caching, I essentially had no storage left to do anything, and it was becoming a bit of a problem. I upgraded my Steamdeck with a Solidigm 1TB P41 Plus: At the same time, I did a backplate swap with the JSauX Transparent Back Plate PC0106: And I reinstalled SteamOS from scratch using a USB Stick following the Steam Deck Recovery Instructions article by Valve: The whole process went great as a whole. No real performance difference to report but I am experiencing a weird bug where SteamOS reports that it is “offline” when I am in fact, connected to the Internet. The bug resolves itself after a few minutes and I have noticed no other networking related issues to speak of… 🤔

Can someone explain something to a newcomer of the city?

“Early in the pandemic lockdown, bicycle traffic was moved onto the road, which became car-free. This got bikes off the seawall, to increase physical distancing for pedestrians. This is when access truly was barred to anyone who could not get to the park on foot or by bike. Eventually, after some twists and turns, one road lane was reopened to vehicles, the other reserved for cyclists. Bikes were also allowed back onto the seawall. But some people called for the return of both road lanes to vehicular traffic.”

Why do we need a road the perimeter of Stanley park? Are there businesses / residences that will be inaccessible otherwise? Or are we just encouraging people to burn fuel going for sight seeing joyrides?

And Counter Point (for the sake of playing devil’s advocate here): Aren’t there enough bike trails in Stanley Park that it shouldn’t really matter?

I feel like I’m not grasping the issue correctly here and would appreciate further clarity on what is actually going on here…

I’d second what @niisyth said - I’d probably run this by admins first to make sure that doing this is okay and not harming the instance from a technical perspective.

Another thing to consider: You may want to contribute to existing communities before creating multiple empty ones. I think it would be great to give every town / city in Ontario it’s own community, but this could deter people from joining as it would give them the impression that it’s an empty wasteland / graveyard in here (when it’s not).

If you live in a small city/town/village, by all means create a community for it - but I would focus on nurturing it first before expanding to take on other ones.

This is just my two cents though - I leave the executive decision up to you (and the instance admins) 😎

Reminds me of Krazam’s Microservices video 🤣

I’m sorry for hijacking your comment (eh), but for anyone who’s a Canadian, I started an r/cscareerquestionsCAD equivalent over on lemmy.ca as I felt it was the most appropriate place to put a region specific community.

Warmest regards from Canada 🍻🇨🇦
