Can we simulate sound?

  • AngeTheGreat on YouTube is pretty famous for having written a car engine simulator purely for simulating the sound that they make - https://youtu.be/RKT-sKtR970 is a good launching point

    How can I get free or cheap artwork for a project if I can't draw and don't want to use AI?

  • Can you help me understand what you mean by “ Unless you're autistic, like me, 5 days is possible”? Are you saying you think you can’t learn to draw in that time frame because of your autism?

    What song are you listening to?

  • I enjoyed the use of present tense in your comment

    Your best friend - why are they your best friend? What is it that they are doing that you feel like at home with them?

  • My wife is my best friend - we do almost everything together and she knows me better than anyone else.

    Best current hardware solution for selfhosting?

  • Perfectly server grade, the way the manufacturer intended

    What's a book you really enjoyed, that you feel like no one else on lemmy has read?

  • Bleeding Sun by Samuel Sagan. Interesting psychic space warfare with Matrix elements and VR/AR stuff.

    What do you guys think about FreeBSD?

  • I use FreeBSD for my website and I’m actually pretty happy with it, the simplicity is a strong selling point.

    It does feel sometimes like the documentation is written with a lot of assumed knowledge though, which makes it difficult to know what terms to use to find what you’re looking for… e.g. figuring out how to do major version upgrades did not feel straightforward.

    Happy Friday!! Are any of you doing anything fun this weekend??

  • I’m visiting Calgary/Banff in Canada at the moment with my wife and some friends. We’ve got plans for fly fishing, ATV rides and a hike, all of which I’ve never done before so it should be fun.

    What is your machine naming scheme?

  • I go with characters from Super Mario, eg Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi. I like them because they’re short, easy to type and memorable.

    In case people don’t know, https://namingschemes.com/Main_Page can be a good source of inspiration.

    Best self hosted photo manager for multi user

  • I used rclone to get all my photos down, then I used Immich’s bulk import API to get everything into Immich just yesterday. I did about 14k photos.

    Take note of the limitations of rclone though, it won’t get the original full resolution - https://rclone.org/googlephotos/#limitations you need to use Google Takeout to get full resolution.

    If you had to redo your self hosting setup, what would you do differently this time around?

  • Depending on your comfort level and setup, you could use LVM. Then the differently sized hard drives wouldn’t be such a problem.

    Or if you want a much more complex situation, you could set up Ceph. It will also give you redundancy, but it’s a really steep learning curve.

    Is Lemmy THE reddit alternative for you? Are you thinking about moving somewhere else?

  • Check out wefwef, it looks and feels extremely similar to Apollo.
