Over the past few days I've been going through the various music players on linux and noticed some sound worse than others. Strawberry seems to be the most recommended but it sounds worse to me than audacious does, and I'm pretty sure it's not placebo. Can any loonix audiophiles chime in? It's not something I'm super anal about but I'm curious about what most people here use assuming you've compared it with the other options.
>>108561753your line feed sucks ass
>>108557113I just call mpv from a command line or from a python script that assembles a playlist.
It doesn't matter what music player I use. I've tried Rhythmbox, Fooyin, Strawberry, Audacious, musikcube, and cmus. It doesn't help that audio is quieter on my laptop due to the fact that on Windows it has to install a Realtek audio driver. What's worse is listening to CD rips of old albums from 80s-90s, so its even more quiet. Strawberry is decent but its a little annoying to configure. For one if I add a song to queue to play next, it appends the song to the playlist but after the song plays, the playlist ends. It can easily be fixed by enabling repeat but still odd behavior. I feel deaf using Linux and its the only area where I've had issues with it. Everything else is great though.
>>108557113music players are kind of all the same in functionality right? i seriously doubt the sound quality can change that much. so many players are mpd front ends, and if it plays the tune and you can sort and make playlists it's basically completeif you're the ricing faggot type like I am you can get rmpc looking swanky so that's what I use. to me it sounds and looks great. what's not to love
>>108572659>music players are kind of all the same in functionality right?Yes and no.
let me guess, you NEED more

I just stole a m4 base model mac mini from a car dealership I work at. I was thinking about replacing my GMKTec Nucbox for my tiny lil media server, but looking into it it seems like MacOS is dog shit for things like that. I'm really struggling to figure out what I can even do with this outside of finally learning how to make iOS apps which I really don't have any desire to do. I have it hooked up on my bed monitor, I figured since I mainly use it in bed with my iPad and iPhone I could control it and it'd all be a seamless ecosystem, but it's fucking annoying, connecting the monitor to my desktop and using KDE Connect is a better way of controlling the screen than the built in Apple remote desktop. I seriously cannot think of a use case for this. Should I just sell it?
>>108568835>I just stole a m4 base model mac mini from a car dealership I work atEnjoy the jail time and never being able to find a decent job again. Hope it was worth it.
>>108568835First of all, if you want to keep it, you never connect it to web. You can't sell it that way, but it's at least usable for you personally. Later you may be able to setup some proxy and give that proxy only to specific apps you wanna have access to internet. Not to the system.Also forget about updates and downloading stuff from official store. You maybe can use brew. But lately Apple been doing some stupid shit requiting devs to ID themselves, so some software currently does not work at all. Not that your Mac's stolen satus have any effect on it.>>108568971This. I'm not sure if OP can handle it, maybe he should sell it indeed. Unless he does it in a way that makes it easy to trace it back to him...

Watch it, listen to the reasons for the steps (shock absorption, shielding, interference) and then decide if you need that. 70% of the project is the housing, so just skip that and put it in another cheaper mic housing or make your own and you can skip all that effort. Another 20% is due to the amp circuit, so if you have an interface or similar you can skip that part too.

>>108571877Can't see how, rather.
>>108571821The yanks in question don't seem to share your view.
>>108571858They can use AI trained on Japanese data which will increase productivity and ease of use.
>>108570778how about they relax their insane copyright and censorship laws first
>>108571821No, deepseek is the most reliable model I have found. It is also free, allows you to fully run locally if you have the compute power, and allows you to block sharing convo if you are running the online model. I am not insane so I do not get my history nor news from AI sources, so I do not have to worry about the whinnie the pooh censorship, although you can repeal that too with the local model.Japan is in a desperate financial situation, so they are trying this, which is stupid, because stuff like deepseek proves you can spend insane amounts of money on AI and then some dude takes your work and makes it worthless.

>>108572195nVidia drivers are shit on Linux because they're made by nVidia themselves, so half the shit performs worse or outright doesn't work.
