What were or are your thoughts on the US Pres. Debate?
  • eksb eksb 1mo ago 88%

    They should do another debate next week between two people who are not running and can actually answer questions and talk about policy. Just to show us what we could have. Elizabeth Warren vs Mitt Romney.

    Then a Bill Clinton vs George W Bush rematch.

  • What would your political compromise be?
  • eksb eksb 1mo ago 100%

    Climate change: do they have to pay to clean it up before or after it hurts people?

    Immigration: We already do not allow employers to hire people without their paperwork in order. The issue is way more complex than that.

    Trump: I 100% support replacing Congress and POTUS with a Parliament and Prime Minister, and would compromise by making POTUS a ceremonial office with the only function being wearing a bald eagle costume at international sporting events, and letting Trump do it until he quits after being tackled by the Canadian in a maple syrup bottle costume.

    Sounds like Canada should put a 50% tax on gasoline powered vehicles.

    Can't you just not use their cloud services? It makes you create an account for setup, but once setup was done I never touched it.

    I do not know what you mean by third-party integrations. I do not use any cloud stuff, Ubiquiti's or otherwise.

    I used to use OpenWRT on various devices, but two years ago I got a UDM-Pro, a USW-16-POE, and a few Unifi APs and cameras. I run pi-hole on the UDM-Pro. I have no complaints. It is more expensive than piecing it all together using OpenWRT and some Raspberry PIs, but way easier.

  • Self-Hosted setup for remote music lessons?
  • eksb eksb 2mo ago 100%

    You could use multiple USB microphones and do the mixing in software. I prefer using an audio interface (e.g. UMC204HD) because it is simpler to set up and adjust levels, and because it lets you use any widely available microphone, or plug in an instrument (e.g.: electric guitar, electric piano). You can plug your headphones into the audio interface and adjust the relative level of your own sound and what is coming from the computer (e.g.: your teacher). sweetwater.com has the UMC204HD and the UMC404HD on sale right now.

    I do not have any experience with pick-up mics.

    I tried Jitsi, but was unable to match Zoom's audio quality.

    The difference between Jitsi and Zoom was noticeable, but less important than the difference between the mic built in to the webcam and good mics. I use an SM58 for voice and an SM137 pointed at the cello just below the bridge, through a UMC204HD.

    Prosthetic makeup is a thing. In that photo, he does not look like he was painted with an orange marker by a three-year-old. The news here is that he got a new makeup team.

    Why is the Harris campaign not selling t-shirts that say "dangerous liberal"? Because I would buy five of them.

  • What is optimal price category for bike?
  • eksb eksb 3mo ago 100%

    I think 2000€ ($2200) is about right. That gets you a Brompton C Line and all the accessories you need.

    Or it gets you a perfectly fine road bike, gravel bike, or hardtail mountain bike, if those fit your riding style better.

    With road bikes, you can spend obscene amounts of money chasing marginal weight savings. I will never understand spending $10000 on a road bike to save the amount of weight you lose by pooping.

    I am willing to spend a lot more on a mountain bike. Good full suspension and robust wheels with high-engagement hubs hits $5000 easily.

    I wrote a script and bound it to a key combo so I can draw a rectangle on the screen and map my drawing tablet to that area. Future improvement: force the mapped area to the same aspect ratio as the tablet. I hope I can find a better way to programmatically get the ratio than running `xinput list-devices` and parsing out "Size: 160x100mm". Bound via `bindsym $mod+Shift+t exec ~/.config/sway/tablet-map`. Is there a better way to reference the way config directory?
