  • Just as a fun side note, in one collection of her short stories (the wind's twelve quarters), she has a story about the beginnings the Odonians. In her author notes regarding that short story she says:

    this story is about one of the ones who walked away from Omelas

    I think reading both short stories back to back helped me contextualize better what Omelas means to me and, possibly, to her.

  • Not money, but time. In my experience, finding a local mutual aid group or place is a great place to start doing meaningful work and also a great way to meet awesome people.

  • And still not enough to curb the amount of trash being produced, shipped around the world and then trashed locally when it doesn't match the expectations of the buyer / rips after putting it on.

  • A bit off-topic, sorry, but the difference between the answers to similar questions in this community (Lemmy) and others is quite staggering. Here we have people talking openly about non monogamous approaches in healthy and mature ways. Love it!

    Music library manager recommendation

    Hey folks!

    I have a music library that has grown over time that I stream using navidrome. The issue is, some of the files have little to no metadata, I have duplicates of the same album, some artist names are misspelled, etc. An it is large enough that doing this completely manually would take a while.

    I'm assuming (hoping) that I am not alone in this.

    Does anyone have a recommendation of a tool (either standalone or part of a self-hostable media app) to basically assist in cleaning this up? It doesn't need to automate a lot of the process, but, for instance, querying metadata from an online source based on the file name / artist name, detecting misspelled artist names would already be interesting. Similar to Calibre's "retrieve metadata" for ebooks.

  • I really wanted to try Judgement from its description, but I have a hard time getting through Yakuza games because although they're great, they are a bit too long for me.

    Is Judgment / Lost Judgment as big as a "regular" Yakuza?

  • You laid it all out pretty nicely, thanks!

    As per your tip I'm gonna check out a couple of restaurant supply shops that I found (which was not as easy as I thought). But I also would not mind scales that I could just power by plugging them in, so I'll check it out as well!

    Kitchen scales recommendations

    cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/18128718

    My current digital kitchen scales (Brabantia) go through batteries faster than I would like. I use rechargeable batteries, but still.

    I was looking for long-lasting mechanical kitchen scales or at least one of those kinetic energy scales (turn the knob to power it) to use in the kitchen. Any model that can measure in the ~1g to 5kg range with a tare function is more than enough.

    Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with these types of scales (knob or mechanical)? E.g., does the knob thing break easily?
