I recently came across this band and can't recommend this enough to prog or prog metal fans. This whole album is gold.

I have been using Lollypop on my phone for about 2 years now. I have tried a few other apps but nothing worked quite as well for me as Lollypop.

That said, I still have a lot of gripes with Lollypop. Rather than complain about it, though, I'd rather hear about something new.

The last time I went looking for a new app was in 2023. Is there anything new in 2025 worth checking out?

My wants:

• Large-ish local library (350gb) and I want it to load/scroll through fast. Lollypop is quite slow here.
• I really prefer the UI to list artists, open one, then list albums, open one, then list songs. Too many apps list all your albums, or all your individual songs, and I hate this.

Edit: I guess I need to specify, I am looking for Linux-native apps. A few of the suggestions so far have been Android, and I am not seeking to run anything in Waydroid for this.

I'm your average American citizen with no contacts to Trump, the Whitehouse, or the Federal Government.

I'm sure the answer is no, but is there any way I could send him a message that he would actually receive?

Donnie,

Go choke on broken glass.

From, {My Name}

I'm normally pretty ok at naming things in code, but I'm struggling here and would love some new ideas.

I'm building part of a game for the dialog with NPCs. It functions just like Fallout:

• Player initiates dialog with NPC.
• NPC says a few sentences.
• Player gets a list of replies and can pick one.
• Depending what the player picks, either the conversation will end, or the NPC will say some new stuff and start this over.

Here's the names of objects that I have so far that I'm not exactly in love with. I'd love suggestions on any of these.

1. Dialog: This is a "container" object. Clicking on an NPC will start the Dialog. This contains many Chats.
2. Chat: This is the name I dislike most. A Chat contains the text the NPC will say, and a list of ChatReply objects.
3. ChatReply: This contains the text of the reply (what the player is saying back to the NPC), as well as a pointer to either a new Chat, or to end the Dialog.

Any suggestions?

Update: From the

This is admittedly a lazy post where I show that I haven't done much research.

Whenever I start searching around online, I find tons of smaller companies selling ergo keyboards or parts for keyboards, but they are always very pricey and don't match the layout I want. I quickly give up since it can take long to search store-by-store online.

The keyboard of my dreams has:

1. All (104) the keys. This means arrow keys and as numpad. I like the layout of my current keyboard (below). I guess this is called a "full keyboard"?
2. Mechanical and with plenty of clackedy clack in the keys.
3. Corded with USB (I still miss PS/2 :))
4. Is curved, similar to this one.
5. Has the "Y" key on the left side of the gap! This is my biggest sticking point. I have realized that I type the "Y" key with my left hand 99% of the time and I don't want to change.
6. I am also willing to investigate split design key

Background: I am working on a Python project where, given a set of input files (text/image/audio), it generates an executable game. The text files are there to describe the rules of the game.

Currently, the program reads and parses the files upon each startup, and builds a Python class that contains these rules, as well as links to image/audio files. This is fine for now, but I don't want the end executable to have to bundle these files and re-parse them each time it gets run.

My question: Is there a way to persist the instance of my class to disk, as it exists in memory? Kind of like a snapshot of the object. Since this is a Python project, my question is specific to Python. But, I'd be curious if this concept exists anywhere else. I've never heard of it.

My aim is not to serialize/de-serialize the class to a text file, but instead load the 1's and 0's that existed before into an instance of a class.

Why doesn't this exist?

Take dried beans, roast 'em, grind 'em, and brew some bean juice?

I have no idea if it would taste good or not, but we don't know if we don't try.

Edit: I need to see what dried beans I have and maybe go shopping. I will give this a try with a couple different types of beans and report back if I fart or not.

I've wanted a soundbar for a couple years now. Every time I look for one, I don't find anything that meets all my requirements, or I get overwhelmed looking and just give up.

My setup:

• We have an SBC hooked up to my dumb TV through HDMI. HDMI handles both audio and video for the computer. We never use any other input to the TV, so this is the only audio concern here. This is currently a Radxa Rock 5b, but I'm considering replacing it with an x86 NUC or mini-PC.
• We have a cheap little record player nearby. This sounds fine but could really stand to have better speakers attached. It has stereo RCA output.

What I want:

• All sound to be output through one speaker/set of speakers. Ideally it would be a soundbar, since the TV is mounted above a fireplace and we can run the soundbar along the mantle.
• If the speakers have to toggle between inputs to get sound between the PC and the record pl

Current setup: We have four beautiful hens. We have a small (https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.ecwid.com/images/17432132/1357042818.jpg) metal container right now in our chicken run. It's set up on a small wooden platform that I built, and it sits on top of a water heater that turns on/off via a timer during the cold months (similar to this but different brand/model https://www.picclickimg.com/40EAAOSwewpmTaBO/Chicken-Water-Heater-Heated-Chicken-Waterer.webp). It works, but it's not a great solution.

Problems:

• It is maybe 1.5 years old max, and it already starting to rust along the bottom where they drink from.
• 3 gallons is ok, but we don't have running water out near the chicken run, and so we need to bring this back and forth to the house to fill it up. It's fine in warm months (can fill from the hose), but it sucks in the winter since I need to bring it inside and fill it in the tub in our basement.
• Even 4-5 inches off the ground, they kick a lot of dirt, feathers, and

Can anyone help me figure out Frigate/go2rtc

I have two cameras in Frigate.

One is a Raspberry Pi 3 running Monocle server, and this stopped working in Frigate some time back (driveway). The second is a Galayou G7 (nursery). The nursery camera is the one I am concerned about with this post.

Problem: Up until a month or two ago (I must have ran an update but I don't know) the audio from the Galayou camera worked in Home Assistant. I'd like to get that working again. Some searching led me to try setting up go2rtc in my config.

Here is my config before making any changes:

I ordered one of these a few months back.

Then I installed it.

Then I realized that this wasn't the same Zigbee Dimmer switch I was already using elsewhere, and that this wouldn't work for me :)

It's now past the return window for Amazon. I have zero use for this.

tl;dr - Me dumb. If you live in the continental US and want this, I will pay the couple bucks to ship it to you so I can get it off my table.

Hi

As the title suggests, I want to set something up so that while trouble is_open(), I have a keyboard shortcut that cycles through the various modes listed at https://github.com/folke/trouble.nvim/tree/main#commands.

I see how I can assign shortcuts to jump directly to the different modes, but I want to remember only one shortcut.

Writing a bit of lua to do this is easy enough, but I can't find any way to see what mode it's currently in, in order to write some function that toggles to the next one.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Bonus question: Is there any way to get trouble to display on screen what mode it's currently in? Such as at the top or bottom of the trouble panel.

This is probably a stupid question, since 2 > 1, but here goes...

I have a home server. It's a ComputerLINK 1U rack server I bought off eBay some years back. It has 2 CPUs, Intel Xeon E5645 2.4Ghz(https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/48768/intel-xeon-processor-e5645-12m-cache-2-40-ghz-5-86-gt-s-intel-qpi.html). It also has two 750W power supplies, but I have one unplugged. It also has RAM and 5 HDDs.

I also have the guts of my old desktop PC. The CPU is an AMD FX8350 4Ghz(https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/fx-8350). The motherboard is some ASUS model, I forget and don't want to check right now. A potential PSU would be 500-600W range.

My question: I am considering moving to use my old PC parts as a new home server. One benefit is to cut down on the noise (rack mount PC fans are LOUD). But the real gain I would want is on power savings. So, if RAM and the multiple HDDs all stay the same, but I moved them to the AMD/ASUS CPU/motherboard, can anyone definitively say

Hi. I have two plants I've been growing all summer on my back patio. One is a Trainwreck, the other it either Trainwreck or Lamb's Breath. I am not sure which is which.

The plants have grown pretty well all summer, are about 5.5 feet tall, and are starting to flower. One especially, the other only has a few little spindly guys at the nodes.

Anyways... I've had a few yellow leaves and just yanked em off all summer without too much worry. Now though, with all the flowers budding, I am seeing a ton more yellow leaves and it's making me worry.

I am using fish fertilizer and have been applying once a week.

Should I add anything else? Should I not worry about it? My regular gardening knowledge says th

I have a Scarlett Solo and I have found that with the linux-rt kernel, I get no noticeable latency recording audio, whereas there's a few ms delay on the main linux kernel.

I am able to run other applications and play games just fine on linux-rt. Is there any reason not to just make this my default?

We moved in to our house a couple years ago and were not told too much about a pipe that sticks out of our backyard.

We are on a septic system and this pipe is sticking out from our leech field. The other houses on our block all have similar setups yet none (that I know) have a pipe coming up like ours.

It was suggested to me that this may be safe to remove, or at least remove, cover the whole for a few weeks, and as long as there's no issues, then remove.

It's not attached to anything and I can pretty easily pull it out and put it back in, although I've tended not to touch it much.

Can anyone provide any insight here please?

I have about this much left again still to pick too :)
