@devilgate I worried for a while about the non-standard nature of it and how opinionated it is. But I was in a mood to burn everything down and start afresh, so... we’ll see I guess! I do really like the choices they made, so that bodes well I think.
@ridwan I can understand that. I did have to stop and think about it, but I do already pay for Fastmail, and when you think how important email (still) is, paying for a great service that significantly (for me, anyway) eases and simplifies dealing with email, is well worth it. I was also able to stop my SaneBox subscription, because Hey covers what I was using that for. It depends a lot on the volume of mail you get though.
@BestofTimes Great shot!
@jack @Alligator A rabbit hose is the nightmare offspring of a firehose (of information) and a rabbit hole (ditto). Beware the rabbit hose! 😱
@simonwoods @jack That has become our swear of choice in my house. We love FND.
@helgeg That’s a stunning photo - the colours!
@jack Noted. Right now Roon keeps ‘forgetting’ about two of my endpoints (a known 1.8 bug) and I have to restart the Core (software only) to be able to see and select them again.
@jack Thanks, that’s helpful. I will mull over whether I can justify the money. Though I currently spend way longer at my desk than in front of my fancy hifi setup in the living room so...
@jack I’ve been looking with interest at those speakers since you mentioned them initially. Do you connect the pair together with a network cable, and then connect to your Roon Core wirelessly? Do they need a really strong signal? The others I have looked at are the B&O Formation Flex but they are nearly the same price once you buy a pair.
@helgeg Thanks! It was fun to plan out.
@jack We do, but I’m not convinced that it changes much except the greeting on the home page and maybe separating out tag sets. I’d like to separate out views (like album or recently added/played) by profile but that doesn’t seem possible.
@jack I installed last night too. It looks great! I wish they would make it truly multi-user though. Mr Bsag and I have overlapping tastes which are very different at the extremes, so the Valence features are likely to get a bit confused!
@alans I found some of the resources produced by the Golem team here very helpful, especially the ‘Building big shiny apps - a workflow’ series. Even if you aren’t building a big app, it’s still handy!
@alans Yes, Shiny reactive functions really strain my brain! I've created a multi-page Shiny app for work, organised into modules. It's fun to write, but much more challenging to test and debug than RMarkdown documents for sure. Over the time I've been building it, I've found that building Shiny apps as R packages and ruthlessly separating the server and UI functions from all the other code makes it easier to test the code outside of the shiny environment.
@alans Nice! Is it a Shiny app?
@helgeg 😱
@Miraz Gorgeous. I wish I was there - I really miss the sea!
@odd It’s a mystery 🤷♀️
@pratik Having said that, there are a lot of things I would do for toffee 😂
@pratik 🤣 No idea! Like many idioms, I’ve never really thought about the origin of it. I’ll have to see if I can find out.
@pratik @cn 😁 “can’t do x for toffee” means that you are really bad at x: definition. No idea where it comes from! Lemon sherbet would work just as well 😉
@alans What could possibly go wrong! 😁
@odd 🤣
@peterimoore We don’t get snow that often here so it’s important to make the most of it. I was so keen to get out and back in time for an 8.30am meeting that I forgot my hat and gloves! I walked fast enough to keep warm though.
@alans It was a treat!
