I'm also a navidrome user and I run it via docker exposed via traefik so I can access my music anywhere. I can use any subsonic client on android or iOS and I can bluetooth that to my car or headphones or whatever and I can load it up on my laptop anywhere.
As you've said you just want a local application just wanted to mention that in case that's actually something that might also be useful for you.
I've also been a long time airsonic (and now airsonic-advanced) user for so long I can't even remember, but a couple years ago I switched to navidrome which is also subsonic compatible and it's sooo much nicer.
I always loved the 5-4-3-2-1 method. It's a good, clear system that helps people who are new to mindfullness exercises. You're absolutely right, doing this often makes it easier and easier.
The one thing I'd add is, when you think of each thing, also think of characteristics of it. Otherwise it can be ok five things I see: mouse, keyboard, monitor, phone, can. But instead if can become: black mouse with a light blue light, keyboard with silver logo and bright red escape key, etc etc. It really helps you focus on your surroundings more directly.
Red Hat really has gone all in on cockpit as well. It is very polished and pretty full featured, and continues to improve. Also very easy to setup on RHEL installations. When you login the MOTD actually has instructions on how to enable cockpit, that's how hard they're pushing it.
Reading is so much easier than speaking for me. Grammatically it's so different, and there is so much conjugation that I am very, very slow to put sentences together when speaking. But reading or understanding spoken japanese? No problem, instantly get it, no translation to english required in my head.
Agreed, just go buy Genki 1 and 2, sign up for wanikani for kanji ($10/mo).
Then spend the remainder of that $50 the months after that on hellotalk or italki sessions with a native speakers. You can find highly rated japanese speakers (including professional teachers) for $10-$25 an hour and it's one on one training. That's what I would do if I wasn't taking in person classes.
There are only two sites I donate to: wikipedia and archive.org. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them. I have been able to find web sites from 20 years ago on archive.org, it's an absolute treasure.
Lots of theories. They have a culture that doesn't shake hands or hug, they caught cases early and had a relatively low infection rate (they claim 80% did not spread the virus), a culture of wearing face masks or possibly it is just due to low testing rates and is actually worse than the numbers suggest.
Doesn't look like the trend there is really changing since it peaked around March 8th. Seems pretty consistently in the low hundreds of new confirmed a day.
It's really annoying that there's nothing other than her name in the headline. There are a lot of articles on HN I don't click on because there's no information and I don't have time to open every article just to figure out if I want to read it. Is it too much to ask that the post include at least some relevant information?
Resist the urge to be annoyed by this, and use it as an opportunity to practice a useful skill: that of searching for value from something where the value isn’t highlighted upfront.
Most of today’s media tends to “tell you what to think” in advance of reading the story, and I would argue that is a big piece of the (poorly defined) problems with society today.
I’m glad you wrote your comment, because it helped me realize why it’s worthwhile to me to have this sort of article posted on HN — I think it’s a valuable skill, to figure out what to think (instead of being told it upfront).
Absolutely. Within the scientific community, there are excellent people, who if you tell them what you are doing and why it is important, will respond by telling you all the other ways your work is important.
These people are practicing the skill you are note: identifying value in things that others have not identified.
I understand that the name only as a title offers no context to those who don't know Maryam Mirzakhani. But HN rules seem to favor not editing the original titles of articles and make them click-baity.
That's right. It's good for readers here to have to work a little. It slows down the usual reflexes and gives a little time for slower, more reflective mechanisms to kick in. Those are the ones that produce non-habitual responses, which are everything we care about.
When I see a post on HN that produces a substantial response despite a lack of detail in the title, I take it as a sign of something (or someone) I ought to read more about.
Welcome to HN! I perhaps came to know of her via HN, when she won the Fields medal. Then about her tragic untimely death. Then couple of memory articles, at least once since 2017.
