  • Manchester is officially the best place in the country for beer
  • Their prominence on social media and average cost of a pint?

    That’s a pretty poor way to determine if the beer is good.

    You want a nice atmosphere and a decent drop. Rating on socials and price isn’t going to give you that and generally works against it.

  • Well.. It's not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing...

    That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn't be able to tolerate it.

  • The buds don’t need a jack. Just the lead that connects to the phone or whatever. That takes no real space.

  • So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.

    Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.

    Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.

    Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.

    Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.

    edit... typo

  • Wired 3.5mm jack.

    Hear me out. I don’t use Bluetooth headphones. They don’t last the commute and work day.

    With a jack you can listen and charge you phone at the same time and never worry about charging your headphones/iem.

    If I need to use Bluetooth for connection I still can but overall better battery life

  • I need a distro that can work right out the box without too much hassle to configure it, which one would you recommend?

  • Update on my post about replacing milk
  • Milk adds a fair bit of sweetness and hides a lot of sins in the coffee process.

    If it’s been slightly burned or the machine/grinder aren’t really clean then milk will cover that. Black…it’s all out there.

    If you can ask them for 3 or 4 seconds of hot water from the group and then float the espresso shot on top and stir. Makes for a great cafe option.

    You don’t want water from the steam wand/hot water spout as it’s from a different boiler and will be much hotter. Normally around 130degress celcius vs around 90 for the espresso.

  • I need to replace milk in my coffee and I need ideas
  • Water? Maybe shift to a “long black” style.

  • Sorting by Scaled is awesome

    I only just noticed this option for sorting my feed. I do have a reasonably curated selection of large and small and using “scaled” gives the results I would expect across them all.

    Give it a go.

    AAC vs AC3 bitrates
  • Definitely needs some more testing as those numbers in the table look low to me. Archiving vs listening is a key point and storage is relatively cheap.

    Listening on cheap Bluetooth headphones then you can get away with a low bitrate. If you are using better gear and/or music that has a lot of dynamic range and comes from strings (piano/classical/etc) then I would recommend 320 but your mileage may vary.

    Listen, compare and decide. I have a library of about 110k tracks (musicbrainz-Picard is amazing) and I wish I had:

    1. Focussed more on encoding albums rather than just songs and
    2. Had 320 or flac
  • [Rant] A few days ago, I asked if Mint would run okay on a Lenovo T460 (I appreciate all the advice). I got it working, but the installation was a big pain and I totally blame Lenovo.
  • Well done. It’s a Lenovo issue. Had to do the same thing recently for a friends laptop and did the same dance.

    I have some IT background so kind of knew what to look for but it still was a pita.

    The more expensive ones come with multiple air bladders and you inflate one the boot is strapped on. You can adjust where and how tight.
