Berghain by Rosalia is a bad song

Like I get what the message is and all that, I've heard the whole Lux album and have context and all.

But the song itself is bad - precisely because so much of it is good. It does some new things with classic styles. She's a talented singer.

But the ending is like finding a turd in a wonderful cake you were eating.

I get that's probably "the point" with the build up, but there were better ways to convey the message. Other songs earlier and later in the album masterfully mix in the discord and show things are wrong without just breaking the song up completely. Heck even having the stupid "I'll fuck you until you love me" be in Spanish or Italian would have been better than having it in English, for the purposes of flow while still causing a break.

It detracts from everything else the song did great, on a technical level, and ends up feeling like a "couldn't think of a better way to make the point so here's a couple f bombs".

If the rest of the song was bad or mediocre it wouldn't have been as bad, but having it in makes it terrible.

At least it's nothing I couldn't fix in audacity.

Arr Stack GUI friendly alternative?

Basically looking for an all in one program similar to the Arr stack that's easy to use. If it needs to / can be set up with an NBZ or Debrid service beforehand it's fine, it's mostly on the daily usage part that it should have a somewhat friendly GUI. Also helps if it has or can be paired with an app for remote streaming what's on the server.

Ideally works on Cosmos, but if it can't for any reason, then CasaOS or Yunohost might be fine too.

I'm trying to set up something rather easy to use for my two partners, who are not the most tech savvy, and one of which who really dislikes clunky menus.

How to (safely) create a Lemmy instance?

Basically, I want to make one for some multiplayer games out there (along with Stoat communities, or something similar - what do y'all recommend? Bonus if it has voice chat).

What would I need, and how can I set this up safely without having my own network hacked beyond comprehension? I could do it off site from home too if that's better.

I have a Raspberry Pi 4gb, but also an old DDR3 16gb desktop with a PCI network card available if that's recommended.

Error when trying to install Bazzite specifically

I get the following error message:

amd_pstate: failed to register with return -19

And there's more but then the screen turns into a creepy pasta gif looking thing of white and green shifting blocks, except for a few random letters.

But the issue doesn't happen when I used a Garuda xfce I had laying around I used for an older PC (that was maybe too old for Bazzite?). That went into the installer and live iso environment without issues.

It's a newish build I'm making for someone as a gift with the following hardware:

Asus Prime B550M-K AM4 microATX Kingston FURY Beast DDR4 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen 5 4500 AM4

And a used Nvidia RTX 3060ti.

I have secure boot off I think (the Asus EZ bios is weird)

Update

I managed to install it using the text installer, but now it does this:

Then blank screen. Ctrl-Alt-F2 gives me a terminal at least and I did just get-logs which gives me the following:

Is this a Wayland issue?

Update 2:

Not a Wayland issue. But tried installing Fedora Kiinoite to rebase it to Bazzite, but Fedora has the same issue Bazzite did when trying to install, only it doesn't mention the Elf 19 error, and it frezzes allowing me to take a picture:

I really love Bazzite and run it on my own computer, but I'm starting to think it doesn't really run on older desktop hardware.

Error when trying to install Bazzite specifically

Solved

It's the GPU hardware that was the problem 😭. This post can be closed.

But happy ending: replaced the GPU and Bazzite installed flawlessly.

Credit to Clearwater who figured out the real issue early on.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Possible big update Display port doesn't seem to work. Could it be the GPU? (Tested while Cachy is installed)

Also nvidia-smi did not find anything, so checking drivers now.

Update 3: Updating Bios didn't work...

Update 4:

Could not figure out how to install it. Cachy however has installed and loads fast, but also has the 720p porridge issue. Specifically, looks like this:

Wondering if Bazzite isn't installing due to a GPU issue? Would explain why the text installer and terminal only mode worked

How should everything be routed?

Edit: I just realized I didn't specify which Switches were Nintendo ones. I'm sorry.

Currently I live in an apartment with multiple access ports (2 of them in use), and I have them all running through a network switch.

Line 2 is connected to a wifi router which is connected to a second network switch which has a steam deck and 2 old Nintendo Switches™ connected.

Line 3 is connected to a small modem which is connected to a desktop PC.

I want to make a home server soon that also runs Home Assistant, so surely there must be a better setup to have everything actually be in the same network right? If I need any additional hardware let me know.

I can replace the wifi router with one that will actually have more than 2 LAN ports as well if needed.

Which would be better?

I'm looking to set up a little home server for media, home assistant/matter support, and file storage/access.

I'm considering either:

GMKtec NucBox G9

Or

Zima Board 2 1664

I want something that's easy to use. Zima seems ready to plug and go almost, which is the huge plus, but the huge down side for me is cost - not only does it cost more, but I'd have to pay an additional 25.5% VAT on top to ship to Finland.

The GMKtec comes with Ubuntu at least (I'll be deleting Win11), but I don't know how Linux support for it is outside of Ubuntu. I'd prefer something easier to run like CasaOS or Yunohost (not sure which is more beginner friendly). Also don't know if those run Waydroid, since I'm pretty sure Ubuntu does (want to use S-tube on TV).

What do y'all recommend?

Chicha 🇸🇻

Made Salvadorian Chicha, although not quite like how mother made to avoid the chance of getting vinegar haha. It's made with a brown cane sugar processed in an old fashioned way - a company sells the cones of sugar called mi costeñita - and pineapple.

Usually you use fresh pineapple and ferment it using the skins and hopefully you get the right yeasts. However, the pineapple sold in Finland is probably not as fresh as one harvested on the spot in El Salvador.

Thanks to [email protected] here on Lemmy tho (rip Alzymologist Oy), I got an excellent yeast that gave me the smoothest Chicha I've ever had. Perfectly sweet, with no sourness. It came out to around 12% alcohol in only 4 days too, even though a traditional Chicha takes at least 8.

I saved some of the raw Chicha with yeast in it and am now in the process of making an apple-hibscus drink with it next.
