  • Where I am from everyone used Venmo… I never wanted it, I had PayPal forever due to ebay I think in the 2000’s so why did I need another service that did the exact same thing as PayPal and it’s even owned by the same company! Sadly, I lost that battle and caved. Idk why everyone said let’s use venmo or why it got big, but I’m stuck out of convenience for others now.

    Personally, I love Zelle the most since it’s a direct transfer from bank account to bank account and available immediately without the 2 day wait like the other services.




  • I have a library that’s been growing for about 20 years now. I don’t think I got too serious until around 2009, which is when I discovered music servers to host my library and quickly realized how bad its structure was. It took years of me getting folders done correctly followed by then working on tags. Automation scared me to much since the results were not always 100%. Once it was done I have kept a system to keep it that way the best I can.

    So for me once I get new content I use the app tagscanner to edit everything to the way I like, then I drop them into music Picard were I found a tutorial online a few years ago to set it up to just edit music genres. I found the one thing I never got right was music genres so finding this tool was incredible. Took months to run large sections of the library though. Now I got every track labeled with up to 5 genre tags. Once that is done I change folder names to what I want, drop them into my music directory folder which is root > artist > album (don’t care about year since it’s tagged). Scan music into my musicbee app and if any are missing covers I right click and tell it to find them. Then do a scan with navidrome to add it all there.



  • I currently use Navidrome as well, but I really don’t use smart playlists like that. For me, I use Symfonium on Android, which offers a ton of options and is incredible. In all my years of using a personal server to host music, this app has been the best by a lot. As for desktop apps, I don’t use them much, but when I do, I use Musicbee, which also offers unlimited customization if you’re willing to put time into it. It used to have a subsonic plug-in, but I have no idea if it’s still active. I just use the local file location and treat it as its own entity. If the subsonic plug-in still works, it may allow you to do what you want since everything seems possible in Musicbee from my experience.






  • The reviews all look great! From other sites where ppl can comment, not so much. To address the number 1 complaint this card looks to be for anyone who hasn’t made the leap yet, like me! I am finally upgrading from my 2016 PC build which features an rx 480. I know most people who follow AMD and post are mostly people who keep buying the new cards, but there are a ton of us who don’t have that luxury, and this card is absolutely the perfect upgrade! Best value and trumps most of the other cards out there without spending hundreds more. For me this will be a world of difference coming from the rx 480, I can’t wait for everything to arrive! Also love building PC’s and I don’t get to do it often.



  • Wow that’s still active? I remember getting one when they had a kickstarter way back and realizing quick that it doesn’t matter how nice the hardware is if support is non existent. Glad to hear they are still around and I am guessing the community is much larger these days. I’ll have to see if I can dig my original model up from somewhere and see what I can use it for these days.


  • Sometimes just holding shift for search objects works as well but your right half the time I choose open folder location first then shift and click to see other user. I have to try your shortcut.

    Edit: I just realized you were only looking for run as admin, I was referring to run as other user. At our job we have normal accounts and admin accounts so we have to run some stuff as a user with higher permissions.


  • Also adding onto the other comment, if your PC is on a domain they most likely enforce policies that you cannot change which means you won’t be able to change sleep settings. It also may not help if you are also unable to install apps but I use a free app called caffeine64 which is not installed to stop screen from turning off or locking my screen.


  • I lost power last night and had nothing to do… lemmy, sadly, doesn’t have as much content yet so I popped in once just to see. Spent like 10 min there with no account since I did delete it and realized it also wasn’t showing me much either.

    Having an account with everything you like really helps the experience, glad I looked and felt better when it also didn’t really give me the fix I wanted. Power is back and I don’t forsee myself going back anytime soon, outside very specific google searches where I might find relevant information needed to do my job.
