Udemy has a great piano course that you can pick up cheap (€11ish) if you visit it in incognito mode in your browser it’ll offer you a discount. The course is called piano for all. That’s how I learned and people tell me I’m pretty good.

Courses about how to make money online come down to drop shipping and/or affiliate marketing. But both of those need you to build an audience which is the hardest part, or just flood Facebook with ads, which costs money that people trying to make money…usually don’t have

Picking up women courses. No. Don’t do it. If you can talk to a guy, you can talk to a girl, just don’t be a misogynist or a pushover and you’ll be ahead of the pack. Go to a meetup.com group in your hobby interest and stay casual.

If you want to learn something useful consider coding codeacademy.com or video editing insidetheedit.com . The video editing course teaches some cool meta skills too like how to move forward in the industry. How to handle screaming bosses etc, which in some ways is more helpful knowledge and can probably help(transfer) a little with your dating life too.

Ahhh thank you!

A pig without pie is gravity? What am I missing?

Friendship ended with Evernote, now Logseq is my best friend.

I used line6 podfarm for a loooong time. And to be honest it’s perfectly adequate. These days I use guitar rig by native instruments just because I have komplete 10 and it feels new and fresh(to me), but it basically does the same thing.

The only people that will complain about your tone is other guitarists. But if your music isn’t for them…just choose something that will put you in the right ballpark and your listeners will not know the difference.

Civ V destroyed a week for me. It was like crack. I don’t know how I got loose of its clutches but I will never play that again. It’s like a time portal to the future. Suddenly it’s 2024 and all you did was boot into a game.

There is something about the zen vibe of a shower which gets my creative brain going ham. I come up with so many ideas in the shower. But I don’t want to waste hot water 30 mins a day. I’m yet to find something that works in a similar way. Like a walk is fine, but the white noise of a shower, in the heat with water massaging your shoulders, water dripping over your face. It’s powerful stuff. I’ve tried standing under a heat lamp, but it doesn’t hit the same way. Any ideas?

The birth of a new copy pasta 👀

Don’t install windows on it too, unless you REALLY need to. Just use the Linux desktop environment it comes with and find Linux programs that will meet your needs. It can not edit videos over 1 minute long without really chugging. It works great as a music daw though if that’s your thing.

Adding windows to the mix makes it less stable, and you’ll need to do a special sequence of buttons every time you boot.

+If you do some edgecase tinkering, you may loose your work when it updates.

That being said, I love this aspect of the device and have Windows booted on it. I treat the instability like a fun puzzle. You gotta be into that if your going to do it. +learning Linux stuff is good nerdy fun.

The best tip I have though, is if you are into fps. Use the right trackpad to aim, set it up so 1 swipe from left to right rotated you 180 degrees and set up the LEFT trigger to fire. It’s a little backwards feeling, but once you get it, you’ll never go back. Took me a year before I could comfortably play fps on it. Then I learned that secret and finished the master chief collection with it. There are vids out there to explain it more thoroughly.

Last tip. Smelling the fan exhaust is absolutely worth the health risk 👍

I’m expecting keep to die and I’ve been using it heavily for years. so have moved to logseq in anticipation and ported my data over. So far it’s been quite smooth.

Next week. We axing keep.

I’m happy to introduce it to you. Nice community on discord and the forums too ☺️

An addition to the list in case you are still looking. Logseq with syncthing. Fully off the cloud.

Yeah but reaching over a pan that is spitting oil everywhere because it’s too hot is not fun.

Astroid city by wes anderson is very meta. The lead talks to the director in the movie asking about his motivation etc.

Try handbrake maybe https://handbrake.fr Might not be exactly what you want but something to look at while you wait for other answers.

If you are actively making 4k videos through, I think it might be time for you to upgrade.

Ora.pm can do what you want I think.

Can I ask why your trying to drop nextcloud? I only really hear people raving about it. Been considering setting it up for myself.
