  • Are you sure it isn't μ?

  • Recommend me a USB to SATA adapter that actually works on Linux

  • Is there an application that stabilizes the volume level of downloaded mp3 files?

    Jump

  • I can't say that I haven't thought about audio volume correction for streaming audio.

    There must be a way of doing it as Spotify and other services have a version of replay gain.

  • Is there an application that stabilizes the volume level of downloaded mp3 files?

    Jump

  • Replaygain doesn't change the file itself.

    It is a measurement of the files audio volume against a set level. Then the file gets a tag (metadata) for the volume adjustment.

    To put it simply: ReplayGain turns up the volume an appropriate amount when playing a relatively quieter song/album and turns down the volume an appropriate amount when playing a relatively louder song/album.

    Pretty much any music player should support replaygain including VLC.

    Jump

  • You will want to use something like Foobar2000 to scan the files then write replaygain metadata to each file.

    Then you enable replaygain in VLC and it should work as you want.

  • Can I use a Linux laptop to connect a Mac to wifi through an Ethernet cable?

    Jump

  • Rather than trying to get your idea to work you would be better off getting a cheep WiFi access point as they often allow you to connect it to a wifi network and pass it through to wired devices via ethernet (bridging).

    Some Wifi routers have a setting to allow it to be used in bridge mode as well.

  • Caught misbehaving

  • That's not a look of "I've been caught".

    That is a look of either "Oh look prey, must hunt and kill" or treat bag has been opened

            TWSBI GO [and] Kaweco Classic Sport

    I love how both of these sound. Thanks for the information on the cartridge leakage.

    Just be warned that the Kaweco (I recommend the Kaweco AL Sport version for bag carry) is quite small in hand unless you post the cap on the end of the pen (making it longer in hand).

  • I discovered that pens don’t have to suck

    Jump

  • Lamy Safari Rollerball sucks. I thought I was getting a pen for life, but the ink flows inconsistently.

    Some pen types work best on different papers, some need a rougher surface to get the ink ink dispersion method working where as others need a smoother surface (nicer paper) and some that don't care what paper type they are used on.

    I have a Sharpie S-gel pen in 0.38 that is scratchy and skips on nice paper but when used on standard printer paper it writes happily.

    So give it a try on standard printer paper to see if there is a difference.

    I rediscovered mechanical pencils. I tried one that had buttery-smooth lead. I fell in love. I won’t buy any yet, because I have pencils at home, but I know what I will eventually buy (a metallic mechanical pencil with Uni lead).

    I just got a Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil paired with some Uni HB Smudge-Proof Lead that I am enjoying (though I might try the Pental Ain HB leads next). The nib rotates to keep the lead wear even.

    Ball points are not my thing. I haven’t found one I like.

    I don't like most ball points myself but I have found Lamy pens using the M16 cartridge (I prefer fine) to write very well on most paper types I have tried. The Lamy logo lineup is an affordable pen to use the cartridge.

    Fountain pens are amazing for writing, but they’re not resilient.

    Depending on how rough you are there are several options for your needs

    TWSBI GO (Uses bottled ink but has a leak/dry out resistant cap) Platinum Preppy (has a leak/dry out resistant cap but uses proprietary cartridges) Kaweco Classic Sport (popular for everyday carry and uses a standard short cartridge that many mfg make)

    You would be better off using a cartridge based pen as they are less prone to leakage from rough handling.

  • That's just common sense

  • Get her to a vet asap!

    It could be a early indication of kidney problems.

    My previous cat Tweet had similar issues and it was from his kidneys shutting down.

    Unfortunately it wasn't caught early enough so even with medication and a low protein diet he passed over the rainbow bridge a month later.

  • They are all low power mode so none of them.

    Once their chaos batteries are full then they will be put back in the rotation for it.

  • Saying Hello, and 2 years update after my PC Build Journey

    Jump

  • It was a great many hours of running a GPU stress test that used 100% of the GPU causing the fans to go full bore.

    My guess is coil whine is caused by the parts not fitting together properly meaning that the motor not having enough oomph to move the fans over the extra friction.
