What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it?

What obsolete knowledge do you know by heart, and would like to share?

Are Juggalos Allies?
  • In case someone else needed to learn this: "Juggalo" is a term for fans of Insane Clown Posse, a hip hop group.

    I had to look up so much stuff to even understand the question, so I'll let others provide actual answers.

  • Mike Portnoy, having never heard Taylor Swifts "Shake it Off" before provides his own flavor of drum track

    The format of these vids is basically that a famous drummer gets to hear a drum-less version of a well known song that they haven't heard before, and they get to add a drum track.

    In this video, Mike Portnoy (progmetal drummer, for those who don't know) plays Taylor Swifts (pop artist, for those who don't know) "shake it off", and it's awesome.

    MP is one of my favorite drummers, and it's cool to see him play stuff he normally doesn't play. He has a few other videos like that with Drumeo too.

    This video made my day.

    What are some lesser known (former) careers or jobs of famous people?

    Title. I just think ot would be fun if a journalist interviewed, for example, a famous musician, but instead of questions regarding their latest album, the interview was all about that year where they worked as a plumber.

    What's the correct procedure for getting admin help in becoming a mod for a community where the only mods listed are inactive?

    Title, basically. I just noticed that one of the communities I frequent only has one mod listed, and they haven't posted or commented in 11 months. I fired off a message to see if they're online at all (doubt it). In the event of no response, what's the correct course of action for this community that is reasonably active?

    EDIT: By the way, the community in question is [email protected]

    How do I PS5?

    As previously mentioned, we now have a PS5 in the household. My handicap is that I have no experience with modern consoles, so I therefore have a few questions. Basically, we have multiple users, each with their own controller and PS account, and I haven't entirely figured out how games, saves, and purchases work.

    If offspring A buys a game, can offspring B play it? (Are the games/purchases tied to the console or the user?) If offspring B plays a game, will his progress/savegame only be for his user?

    I'm heating pork belly grease as part of the christmas dinner. It will be an integral part of the sauce.

    I would show you a picture of the main dish, but I fear it would be too exciting.

    What are some good PS5 games for kids?

    Title, basically. Three Boys, aged 9, 10, and 13, are getting a PS5 for Christmas, and I want to expand their horizon beyond roblox and minecraft.

    They're gett8ng one controller each, so bonus points for something they can play together.

    PS: I'm not too strict about age restrictions. They know we'll what they are and aren't allowed to say and do, so I'm not very concerned about VoIlEnT videO gAmEs to a reasonable extent.

    They do enjoy builders and open world stuff, by the way.

    Påminnelse om at juleribba skulle vært gnidd inn med salt og pepper igår kveld.

    ....men gjør du det nå blir den fortsatt ganske god. Bare angrip den med tørkerull slik at svoren ikke er fuktig før du tar på salt.

    Which off-the-shelf and FOSS software should I use as a DYI "media center" ?

    For the past 25 years of sailing the high seas I've always used my PC for watching whatever. But as this is not always practical, I am looking to connect a raspberry Pi to my TV to have a setup with smaller fingerprint and larger screen.

    I briefly tried one a couple of eons ago (2010ish?), but sadly I don't remember the name.

    Requirements:

    • Must be able to run from a raspberry pi
    • Must be able to stream media over my network (protocols aren't that important as I can probably spin up whatever is needed. Preferably I would just have it index a couple of NFS mounts and local drives)

    Bonus question: Which Pi model would you recommend running this? I have a bunch of Zero W, and while everything "works" on them, it simply wasn't powerful enough to decode video at a watchable rate.

    What's your definition of a wealthy person? Sure, Bezos is rich, but where do you put the threshold?

    What does it take in terms of assets, abilities, and/or income for you to consider them wealthy?

    I know it's tempting to race your offense across an open field, but even with lookouts in position, the NASA commanders should be more careful with how they maneuver their Perseverance AFV

    Pico Turquino looks like a perfect ambush position.

    Which podcast player do you use for android?

    I'm currently looking for a replacement to castbox. Castbox us OK, but I want to learn what else good is out there. Bonus points for one that has movement-sensitive sleep timer the way Smart AudioBook Player has.

    UPDATE: Testing out Antennapod. Looks nice, and seems to do what I want it to do. I need to experiment with the auto-download a bit and see if it behaves the way I want it to. If it does, we have a winner.

    Can a disk image with multiple partitions be shrunk in a reasonably easy way?

    I set up a machine with Debian 12 earlier. The partition schema is fairly standard, except I'm using mdraid for redundancy. I made an image of the two drives, so that I can easily replicate this setup for other machines (I have a bunch of machines that I need to set up in the exact same way.

    However, I realized after I finished setting up everything that I chose the wrong pair of disks - instead of the 2.5" SSD pair, I installed it on the NVMe pair which are supposed to be used for something else. And the SSD pair is smaller than the NVMe pair.

    Is it possible to resize the images so that they'll fit onto the correct disks, or do I have to start from scratch?

    Is "Red Storm Rising" by Tom Clancy considered a good book? Because I read it, and I'm not sure it should be.

    OK, so I finished this a while back, and despite it appealing to a lot of my interests, I honestly found it pretty meh.

    I really enjoyed the realistic military/tactical aspect of it all, as that part is right up my alley, but... I did not care about the characters, the plot seemed hollow, and it seems like some things that could have been explored further were simply ignored.

    For example, in the beginning these guys blow up a refinery. There are vague descriptions as to why, but after this it is practically not mentioned again. Whatever movement they were part of apparently disappears, and there are no repercussions for their home oblast.

    The only thing this book has going for it, in my opinion, is that military nerds like me enjoy the detailed writing about the different types of hardware involved in the book.

    So, since I am by no means a literary connoseur, I'm curious about what others think of this one.
