At the same, does “painting our selfs into a corner” loose having true ending to stories?

Constraints and limitations drive creativity, but you have accept a final product at some point and move to another universe/story.

No need to put homelab in quotes, it’s whatever is your lab. We all have different setups that grow and shrink as we learn.

Let me show you a smaller option than a full rack amp. I used this exact setup before except using an AirPort Express instead of the pi.

I would do the Pi (your plan) -> this -> bookshelf speakers like these.

Does everything have to be all in one, or are you open to exploring passive speakers and a receiver?

Since this is in Homelab, I’m assuming you have access to a 19” rack. You could rack mount any amplifier (I like crown amps personally) and then feed either a Bluetooth or Raspberry Pi using a line/headphone amp. That also gives you the ability to continuing adding amps to feed more speakers around the house. That’s my homelab answer.

Home theater answer would be to look at a home theater receiver.

What I wish it had was something similar to Roon which would be a Spotify integration. If I search for something and I don’t have it in my personal library, let me just stream it from my streaming service subscription.

I deal with a lot of kids fresh out of college. The surprising part is how many don’t know what Windows File Explorer even is, much less file manipulation. Everything is saved to the desktop.

We just turn them sideways on a shelf at work. We use a lot of micro form factor and they look slick in a row on a 1u shelf. We fit 3 or 4 (can’t remember) wide across 6 shelves.

Bruh, all of this sounds creepy as shit.

You are completely right on that one. I had totally forgotten that incident.

As a rebuttal, I really should have put a /s for sarcasm. My comment was based on the disproportionate amount of these incidents happening to minorities and people of color.

Being white and male.

Edit: just want to add an /s I dropped.

A use it with web development by describing what I want something to look like and have it generate a React component based on my description.

Is what it gives me the final product? Sometimes, but it’s such a help to knock out a bunch of boilerplate and get me close to what I want.

Also generating documentation is nice. I wanted to fill out some internal wiki articles to help people new to the industry have something to reference. Spent maybe an hour having a conversation asking all of the questions I normally run into. Cleaned up the GPT text, checked for inaccuracies, and cranked out a ton of resources. That would have taken me days, if not weeks.

At the end of the day, GPT is better with words than I am, but it doesn’t have the years of experience I have.

This raised an interesting question in my head. How would the community respond to a brand/corporation hosting their own Lemmy community?

There are a few businesses I truly would not mind having an official place for community discussion and feedback. But like, not the GAP or Hobby Lobby. Those guys can fuck right off. But I personally have to realize some people want those communities as much as I want the things I like.

So where on earth would the line be drawn between useful and spam?

Gundam: Witch from Mercury and Pokémon Violet.

It would be horrific for the Pokémon.

Imagine spear-fishing with this. If you could feed target data like socials or anything else public just to create a fishing email. Jesus

That is funny as shit. Thank you

Why cut off a revenue stream now of all times. Why not just double down on micro transactions

This has been such an odd saga to play out.

Well shit, didn’t know that was a thing.

So far my usage is enough to keep me on the free smtp2go plan. But that’s worth keeping in mind if my needs grow.

ProtonMail for regular email + smtp2go for services to send outbound email.

A boobies blitzkrieg.

As soon as a big sub goes unmodded call in the NSFW brigades.

I really appreciate you taking your time to respond.

At one point when I first started learning Linux I ran a tiny Minecraft server. I really struggled with always giving way too much benefit of doubt. I felt like I had to build a case to defend my position but keep moving the goalposts on myself. I really struggled with one kid who hadn’t really done anything wrong but just wasn’t fitting the vibe of the community.

So that is something I’m conscientious about now that I am older.

I’m not really worried too much about traffic as this would be an industry specific community. I work in television broadcasting and would love to make a place for other people in the industry to hang out.
