Yes you can access Windows shares directly and play the media from there with no issues. I do it all the time.

I have a newer Zenbook and can confirm when I first got it, and wiped windows to put Ubuntu on it, audio didn’t work from the speakers. Headphones worked just fine. There’s a blog from some Asus dev community documenting the issues and resolution. I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can confirm it was addressed on Fedora a few kernel releases back though and that all is well. I’ll post the blog link shortly. Per post above please provide your model number.

Your napkin math is good though. Excellent points thank you!

Do you find the sound of rain and distant thunder relaxing? If so there are plenty of recordings on YouTube and YT music that are hours long and not loops. Search for keywords with “rain forest”.

Yes, I reached a similar conclusion as well. Not sure if that makes it simpler or more complex. Time will tell!

Thanks for the input. To simplify we’re going with straight edges (I think it’ll look classier too) and I am going to put some dowels in for a bit of additional joinery strength. See pics attached for some drawings. Also I think technically this is just an angled bridle joint, not a half-lap bridle joint.

Now I have a further Q. And that is “how does one cut the inside of the outer(!!) bridle, on an angle to accurately match the taper?” (see the triangle with text labels on the drawing). The offset from horizontal is about 2.5 degrees due to the tapered nature of the horizontal legs.

Yes, that’s what I was most worried about - movement that would lead to breaking. I think a healthy sized bridle joint coupled with some dowels will do the job.

I have all that functionality today with FF… Not sure when you last checked, but if you create a Mozilla account and log in to FF you can sync all the same stuff as Chrome does.

+1 Put it in a USB3 device and you’ve got a smoking fast boot setup for as many OSs as you can shake a stick at. Great tool.

Check out Fastmail. Pretty much ticks all the boxes, I’ve been using them for a decade or more. Ultra reliable, good value and constantly innovative and adding features especially in the collab space.

My only gripe with them is their mobile app is online only in that it doesn’t work in a cached offline fashion. That can be addressed through alternative clients though and their web app is pretty slick.

Bonus points for them, you can host your DNS with them too and you can manage it all fully integrated.

Ok I got ya. Doesn’t that then limit the effective use of the hierarchy to the instance you’re on and the hierarchy you’re familiar with? In that the further removed you are from your home instance’s hierarchy the less likely things will match up. So ultimately searches loose effectiveness I think?

Anyhow like someone else said, not trying to disparage the idea - it’s interesting and I’m enjoying the various input and thoughts folks are bringing.

Structurally the idea has some merit. I think the challenge that you will encounter especially in a federated environment is gaining agreement on how to fill that structure and the hierarchy that you’re implying and demonstrating. Using the pug example, you’ll likely find very little argument on a good hierarchy, but using a more contentious example, let’s say gender, how will you gain agreement across instances on what the hierarchy within the data should represent?

I fucking LOL’d, keeping it classy Lemmy

Bingo

I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling! Well played…

Nice work! $90 and the satisfaction of having built something yourself! Did/ are you thinking of staining it given the wateringv situation?
