Yes! I have to try the DLC, I've been afraid of it not living up to the main game's whole thing

Neat! I was looking for one of these things for health monitoring, but there's so many that I have no idea where to even start.

From the title I thought it was for ethical reasons, maybe. But it's for regular class war reasons.

I wish I had one like you at where I work, just to keep sane for a bit longer. Everyone else is just way too into this shit even though for most it seems like a gigantic time sink.

Music library manager recommendation (slrpnk.net)
 

Hey folks!

I have a music library that has grown over time that I stream using navidrome. The issue is, some of the files have little to no metadata, I have duplicates of the same album, some artist names are misspelled, etc. An it is large enough that doing this completely manually would take a while.

I'm assuming (hoping) that I am not alone in this.

Does anyone have a recommendation of a tool (either standalone or part of a self-hostable media app) to basically assist in cleaning this up? It doesn't need to automate a lot of the process, but, for instance, querying metadata from an online source based on the file name / artist name, detecting misspelled artist names would already be interesting. Similar to Calibre's "retrieve metadata" for ebooks.

Kitchen scales recommendations [EU brands] (slrpnk.net)
 

cross-posted from: https://slrpnk.net/post/18128718

My current digital kitchen scales (Brabantia) go through batteries faster than I would like. I use rechargeable batteries, but still.

I was looking for long-lasting mechanical kitchen scales or at least one of those kinetic energy scales (turn the knob to power it) to use in the kitchen. Any model that can measure in the ~1g to 5kg range with a tare function is more than enough.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with these types of scales (knob or mechanical)? E.g., does the knob thing break easily?
