@ujay68 I have heard the criticism about their app and the direction it as taken on the last big update.

With that in mind though, playing through Spotify or Apple Music, how often are you using the app?

For me the hardware is more of an endpoint in my setup rather than something I will fuss either way once it’s integrated with all the things.

@caseyliss but after that pause they run in tandem with no delay, right?

I am also looking at how Sonos works with Home Assistant and from what I’m reading it’s good and proper integration.

I guess all the praise you’ve been heaping on them is well-deserved vs what Apple is doing with their speakers.

As users of HomePod and Sonos stuff I’m looking for recommendations @caseyliss & @marcoarment

In my office I have two HomePod minis that I enjoy with their paired sound. But despite thier robustness overall they occasionally drop from one or the other. And because Apple, there is no troubleshooting to figure out what’s goosed.

What Sonos gear can I get to replicate this setup? Will one Sonos work or is this a matched pair situation?

Mainstream news covered the Jeffrey Epstein emails related to ppl like Trump. Today, I want to take a look at Epstein's correspondence with prominent atheist and physicist Lawrence Krauss, who asked the pedophile's advice on responding to accusations of sexual assault skepchick.org/2025/11/so-im-in

@girlonthenet what a great financial return here:

“TfL previously said it had spent nearly £14.2m cracking down on fare dodging across the Tube and £7.7m on the bus network in 2023-24, collecting £1.3m in penalty charges”

Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, historic theaters, haunted playgrounds, and misty moors.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

@mvsde @anselmschueler @eschaton thank you for this.

He’s the reason I moved away from Rails. It is very problematic that he’s the face of it all and separating Rails from him is very hard.

@caseyliss just found that I had two 512 SSDs to through in there. Fairly quick and painless setup.

@acf I’m not sure if I should read that in a sarcastic voice or not

@caseyliss I need advice from the only person using Plex and Synology I know of.

Your thoughts on adding a spare SSD to a DS423+? I mainly stream to one or two devices at a time in the home. But if I don’t add the SSD it’s going to just sit and not be used.

Good morning friends.I need some suggestions for a decent UK/EU based registrar for moving my domain names to as their renewals come up.

I've got most of the names with Hover, but their support has been lacking lately and I'd like to give my money to a company located closer to my timezone and geographical region. As well as they're partly US-based and I'm trying to move away from that as much as I have the power to.

Any places to check out?

@stargrace I’ve looked it but I’m not sure, as someone who mains a healer, it’ll work for me.

But @SallyChamness has it on her Steamdeck and plays it there fairly often.

I think she’s even done a few M+ runs tanking.
