I want to get started with VR gaming in Linux and am looking at a headset. What are you guys using? Oculus 3 seems to be popular but I assume there are some caveats.

I'd like to host my own container images centrally in my network so that I can both cache the images (if dockerhub or similar goes down) but also host my own images that I don't want public. Anyone doing this?

Laced Records has announced that it will be releasing a new 6LP collection featuring music from across the Metal Gear Solid series. The collection, titled Metal Gear Solid: The Vinyl Collection, is available to pre-order now and will contain 53 tracks spanning from Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX all the way up until Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.

The collection includes notable tracks like "The Best Is Yet To Come", "Can't Say Goodbye To Yesterday", "Snake Eater", "Here's To You", and more. The set will come in a rigid board slipcase, containing six inner sleeves, and will also feature archival illustrations from the famous Japanese artist Yoji Shinkawa as well as a set of 6 multicoloured discs.

The official track listing is available on Laced Records' website, featuring music from various games in the series. The collection is expected to ship in October 2024 at the earliest.

What's your favourite track from the series?

The setup is pretty complex what with Elasticsearch so anything but the Docker Compose setup seems overwhelming... anyone got this working in k8s?

Is Gardena or Husqvarna still king or are the no-name whitebox rebrands catching up?

Of course something that works with Home assistant is a requirement.

The generations I currently do has the following workflow:

Start:

• Text based image generation to find a good base image
• Take output and scale it up 4x to get more pixels to work with

Circular part:

• Image2Image inpaint mask, inpaint mask only with 1024x1024 to achieve more detail
• Change text-prompt or add LORA to get specific results for the masked area
• Save the resulting image, remove the mask and add another masked area on the new "updated" image

End:

• When results are good enough, scale down by 2x and save the image

I can get the Start and End working, but the circular part where the output image is used as input doesn't seem to work in ComfyUI however I try to make it work without doing tons of manual steps.

Right now in Automatic1111 UI I can basically just send the output image to the next tab, or back to the inpaint image input when I'm happy with one of the masked results.

I'd love to be able to use the output as input in ComfyUI as well if that is possible.

I'm thinking about upgrading my relays and previously got recommendations for Qubino Mini but they don't seem to be available anymore.

What smart relays do you use? Preferably those that can both be used with and without the dimmer function. For the Partner-approval-factor it should of course be usable without the smart functions as well.

They are losing 1-0 to Swiss right now in the UEFA nations league and haven't won a game in I don't know how long.

What the hell happened to this team that used to be great in tournaments?

Discogs’ vibrant vinyl community is shattering A home for music diehards has been fractured by increased fees that are pushing sellers and shoppers to other platforms.

I as many others don't eat enough fish so I try to get a can of tuna in my system every other day. But it really kills me how dry and boring it tastes.

Anyoke got a good way to make it taste good? As low calorie as possible but I am willing to forfeit a bit of my dinner if I necessary.

Is there a packaged solution (ansible script or similar) to setup Wireguard in a jail to get access to the network from outside of the local network?

I'm over 10 years late to the show but if you haven't read it and enjoy expressive facial expressions while still keeping them quite orthodox then this one is for you.

More of a relationship drama than anything else and school life is barely noticeable if you are like me and do not enjoy the high school setting.

Sure it has its tropes but way less than any other works of shojou/shounen that I've read. General theme is redemption and finding yourself.

This manga is supposed to be a cute and light-hearted story about everyday life, described as "Adorably trapped ☆ A comedy about a fluffy prison♪"...

But the more I read it, the more I feel that setting a cheerful story in a prison just doesn't sit right.

It's not only the main character being in prison for a minor drug-related crime that bothers me, but also the idea of trying to make something cute out of a really bad situation.

The prison guards and the other background characters are also kind of vague and undefined. It's like that uneasy feeling you get when you watch a horror movie and you know something's about to go really wrong. Maybe I've read too much scary stuff by Junji Ito or something...

I don't personally know anyone in prison, but because of how this manga makes me feel, I can't bring myself to keep reading it.

Looking for a phone with quick charging, headphone jack for less than ~€1000 and I don't mind yesteryears phones.

Which one would you go for?

I care for: Photos, good biometrics, NFC.

Don't care for: Gaming, high resolution displays, speakers.

Except my Raspberry pi

The games are much more enjoyable this way imo.

YMMV

What are you spinning your records on this weekend?

I'm running a Thorens TD-150 with upgraded wires and caps + a new headshell from Audiosilente that has the Ortofon 2M Blue mounted. This goes into a NAD PP4.

Sound is great, but the equipment is pretty basic as far as a turntable goes. I'd like one with auto-stop and perhaps a linear tonearm. Something like the Mitsubishi LT-5V would be cool to try out.

I remember being annoyed with some albums disappearing from Spotify and other music services a few years ago.

This was also at the time I was exploring NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on Youtube and discovered Idles.

It was just the sound I needed in my life and I had to have a physical copy. The rest is history.

What was your first?

I am sure all of you are aware of Discogs and use it to document your record collections. I myself have a few hundred entries and have been using Discogs to procure some of that collection as well.

I've recently realized that the more time I spend on that site, the more money I spend.

I am not a completionist in any way, but having the collection listed in Discogs just makes it easy to put the missing records on my wishlist and buy it whenever I have some money over.

It's not a problem, but I don't think I would have spent that much otherwise...
