  • SOLVED: So I plugged the BTD into the windows machine and did a firmware update, the update software is available on sennheiser’s website. (Not sure if that was needed)

    In Pop_OS! I went into sounds settings and made sure the sound output was to “Digital Output (S/PDIF) BTD 600.” If it’s set to “Analog Output BTD 600” the audio is compressed. I could have sworn that I had tried this before, but apparently not.

    The same thing applies to the C81. Make sure it’s using the digital output to the Avantree C81, not the analog output to the C81.






  • Don’t hurt yourself, use proper lubrication.

    Don’t let it distort the reality of what a human relationship is like. Most of what they do wouldn’t be pleasant for both parties in real life, it’s exaggerated for the camera.

    Don’t let it ruin your in-person relationships, or job, or ability to function in society.

    As long as you keep those things in mind your boundaries are your own to set.







  • Airsonic, which is a fork of a fork of subsonic. It works great for music. Video support is there, but finnecky.

    On Android I use DSub, which is/was a paid app. It works great, best airsonic/subsonic app I’ve used (all subsonic apps work with airsonic).

    When you add music to your “now playing” on your device it cashes the tracks and doesn’t delete them until the cache reaches a certain size, which you can set in your preferences. So you could set the cache to 50 gigs or whatever and pre-load 50 gigs of your favorite songs from your server. Or just cache/stream on the fly from wherever via your phone’s data or random wifi.


  • Does anyone else self-host their music? (I suppose this would also be a thing if you stream from Spotify) but my music device greatly benefits from having some form of Internet connection for when I want to update it.

    I self-host, so when I add music to my server my phone sees it automatically. I wouldn’t want to copy my music onto my server and onto an mp3 device, nor do I want to pay for separate internet service on an mp3 device.






  • I still use reddit when I need to ask some obscure question about some topic that isn’t well represented on Lemmy yet. I don’t browse or lurk anymore though. (Kind of like how some people just use Facebook for communication and not for the newsfeed.)

    Check out beehaw if you’re worried about missing news. That lemmy instance has way less shitposting and seems to have healthy discussion.

    Between the mixed feeds on Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, and beehaw I haven’t missed any big things that I’m aware of. I have other friends on discord and irl and if they talk about a big news story it’s never something I missed.
