I'll second Tyranny and Pillars 2.
Tyranny's ending is... well... they tacked on some text - but it's a great game otherwise.
PoE2 is more enjoyable than the first one, IMO, just for the lighter tone. They do a better job of explaining the world, too, because you aren't bludgeoned with lore-dumps like in 1.

The only console I ever spent a lot of time with was the NES, so I'm not at all native to the modern XBox / Play Station controller with its 166 buttons. But I know that some games are best with a controller, so I bought a Steam Controller and an XBox controller. I made it most of the way through Nier Automata with the Steam Controller, but I put the game down for some reason or another. I also gave Hades (what I think was) a good effort, but I never made it out and I stopped caring.
The only game I've completed with a controller is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which you really shouldn't play with m+k, if it's even possible. I'd never try to play an FPS with a controller.

Rats eating pasta is THE best thing. Get them carbs in.
Basically every local service is accessed via a web interface, and every interface wants a username and password. **Assuming none of these services are exposed to the internet**, how much effort do you put into security here? Personally, I didn't really think about it when I started. I make a half-assed effort at security where I don't use "admin" or anything obvious as the username, and I use a decent-but-not-industrial password - but I started reusing the u/p as the number of services I'm running grew. I have my browsers remember the u/ps. Should one go farther than this? And if so, what's the threat model? Is there an easier way?

Another vote for Debian, and I'll suggest you go ahead and install Jellyfin directly rather than messing with Docker.
https://jellyfin.org/downloads/server
I'd been running JF under Docker on my NAS, but when I moved to a new server I decided to just install it directly and it hasn't been any problem at all. You'll get a notification when it needs to be updated and it's just a few clicks to do so. You won't have to fight with Docker to get hardware acceleration working - which isn't to say it won't be a PITA, but it's one less layer of complication.

I'm interested in this too. I have unreleased music that I've made and it somehow generates reasonable similarities to other music in my library. It can't be simply pulling the info from the net since the artist name I'm using isn't out there anywhere. Some kind of spectral analysis maybe?

Unless you're going the hand tool purist route, the table saw is IMO the central tool in the shop. It can rip, cross-cut, and cut joinery like dados and tenons. So you want a good one with a solid fence that won't frustrate you. I haven't been in the market for one in a while, so my suggestions will be out of date, but I'm sure others here can help you.
When you're starting out you'll probably be buying your wood S4S: surfaced four sides, so it's smooth and pretty much ready to go. This is how all the wood at the big-box hardware stores comes. Wood from specialty dealers will come rough, and you can surface it yourself with the right tools ($$$) or have them do it for you for a fee ($).
It's probably best to start with a project in mind, even if it's shop shelving or something that doesn't have to be heirloom-quality.

Looks cool. My RPi 1 is still rolling along running Pi Hole, but if I need to replace it, something like this running off PoE would be very tidy.
It's extremely time-, storage-, and compute-expensive to generate images for an entire library before-hand. In my case it's doing all this work for tons of content that I might not even watch again. I guess the idea is that there's no delay in the images being available as soon as the programme is started? I'm not sure the trade-off is worth it.

Very elegant! How did you cut the tapers on the legs? There doesn't seem to be a great way to do it. I'd use the table saw with a custom jig probably.

I'm not using disk encryption. It's a desktop and if it's every stolen I've got bigger problems.
Also, I presume that disk encryption makes it so you can't just pop the drive in an adapter and pull stuff off it, which I sometimes need to do with old, retired drives.

Rats. Leaving TPM off in the BIOS is how I've been avoiding it nagging me to upgrade from 10.

Interesting. As much as I'm a Foobar2000 fan, it's not open source. Looks like I'll be giving Winamp another spin soon.

The Nvidia Shield seems to be the gold standard, but it's kind of pricey. I'm using a Raspberry Pi (2? 3?) running LibreElec with the Jellyfin plugin. It works great for video but has some issues with music playlists. You could also try a cheap Onn box from Walmart.

It's a real dilemma.
I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I've had sitting around for ages. Here's a better picture of the interesting bit: https://i.imgur.com/LV0ep0a.jpeg I'm honestly not thrilled with the finish. I thought I'd sanded out all the little 'scales' the planer leaves, but many came back when I put the oil on.
Jumblevision is not a line I'm familiar with.
I guess still cameras weren't cutting it.
I'm running a new installation of the server and LibreELEC (this worked fine on my previous installs, but I decided to fix what ain't broke). I'm casting over the LAN from the server on Debian to LibreElec on a Rraspberry Pi. The problem I'm encountering now is that LibreElec will hang and show a spinner for anywhere from 15 seconds to several minutes when advancing to the next track of an album or music playlist. It only breaks when I'm casting, not when I'm playing locally through the Player. It only breaks for FLAC files, not Mp3s, so transcoding seems to have something to do with it. I've disabled playback of transcoded audio in the user's settings and restarted the server, but it didn't change anything. Where should I be looking to figure this out?
I was cleaning out an old bookshelf and came across this 2003 Grizzly catalog. Coincidentally, I'd just received a 2023 mailer. I was shocked by the increases in price. Some highlights: Standard 14" band saw: $375 vs. $800 Standard 6" jointer: $400 vs. $900 4-piece Bessey K-body clamp set: $150 vs. $350 https://imgur.com/a/U9ZMiLT I know nothing about how inflation works, so I'm not sure whether this tracks with the price of bread or whatever, but it was eye-opening.
Initially I used my commercial bevel gauge, but the blade was long enough to interfere with the swing of the brace, plus it needed to be taped down for stability. This gizmo I made from scrap should solve both of those problems.
This was inspired by a Rex Kruger video where he makes a stool from a single 2x4, and by Chris Schwarz's staked high stool. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzZdFCSet48 And Lost Art Press seems to be down at the moment, but here's the link anyway: https://blog.lostartpress.com/2017/04/11/download-plans-for-the-staked-high-stool/
I like to keep a calendar widget open on my Windows desktop since I have lots of room for it, but I usually enter events on my phone since it's always with me. Is there an app combo that will sync? I can probably self-host if need be. (I suspect this would be easier if I were running Linux on my desktop...) Edit: I should have mentioned that I don't like the interface of the Google Calendar app on Android, and I'd prefer something third-party.
I've noticed that some of the game day bots for baseball communities post with a "bot account" flag, but when creating an account I don't see a checkbox anywhere or anything.
If anyone has any other suggestions please speak up. An image of a plane would work but it's kind of cliched. Not that it matters particularly. Or maybe something based on a table saw blade, since it's round like the icon...
I often wished this was the banner over at /r/woodworking so we had something to point to that would clear up *a lot* of concerns.

I'd call it a haunched bridle joint. I like it because it only comes apart in one direction, unlike a bridle joint, but it's just as easy to cut.
Something like a haunched bridle joint. It only goes together / comes apart one way unlike a bridle joint, but it's just as easy to cut.
