A song I've discovered on YouTube a few days ago. Judging by the age of the YouTube channel, the band seems to be rather new.
I can recommend their other songs as well.
The new song is good, too! It seems that we can expect great songs from muque in the future.
Music video of the song "Fanfare" from SCANDAL. It is on the new album "LUMINOUS" that is to be released on 2024-03-20 (tomorrow).
There is also an official YouTube playlist with all the songs from the new album.
New music video from yonige. This is my second favorite songs from the new "Empire" album.
Most of yonige's music videos are rather long. Skip to 1:36 for the music.
I like the chill atmosphere in that song with the first part only being with vocals and without instruments.
There are currently only four or five songs from them but they've announced the title of the first album a few days ago, so there are new songs coming. I'm curious and excited to hear what kind of songs the new album will bring.
IIRC, Metabani has won some kind of newcomer contest. The prize was a studio recording of one song.
I had preordered the limited edition of the new album and can recommend the included the concert. ;) The quality is equal to the Bluray of the previous album.
The song is awesome. Especially live.
Do you know "OVER"? I think you could like the song, too. YouTube: SCANDAL - OVER
I found this song a few weeks ago on YouTube and I can't get it out of my head.
This is the MV of the opening song of the "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" anime (which, by the way, I can totally recommend; it's awesome).
I really like the 2D "game visuals" in the MV. These are done in the same style as in the "Scott Pilgrim agains the World" movie.
One of the heavier tracks from Hump Buck.
I generally like their faster paced (and heavier) songs.
Music video of a new song from Chilli Beans. This song will be on the new album "Welcome to My Castle" that is to be released on 2023-12-13.
I like the relaxed atmosphere of the song.
I prefer digital books because of the following points:
- There is a book price control in Germany, meaning that you can't get new physical books cheaper. This does not apply to digital books.
- They take less physical space.
- I can read them everywhere with either my Smartphone that I already have with me at all times or my tablet. I do not have to plan to read a book when I'm on the go.
- I can quickly search for something in a reference book if I have it in digital form. This is not possible with physical books.
Only downside:
- I need to have a device when I want to read a digital book. And this needs to be charged. But this is rarely a problem.
I'm fairly new to MikroTik and no expert either, but I don't think you need a second bridge. You can add your VLANs to the default bridge and handle internet access through firewall rules. Depending on your existing firewall logic, you may have to drop/reject all traffic from the IoT subnet to the internet and all other subnets. Make sure that you add the bridge also as a tagged interface to the VLAN! Else, the DHCP server and all services on the router can not reach the IoT subnet.
I would also recommend to segregate all traffic into different VLANs (WAN, LAN, IoT, ...). This makes it easy to manage firewall rules because you can then use either VLAN interfaces or interface lists containing multiple VLAN interfaces for similiar firewall rules. You can simply untag outgoing traffic on specific ports if you want and add a specific tag for incoming traffic.
I have a similiar setup running. Everything is separated into VLANs and these VLANs are configured on the default bridge. Routing/allowing and denying traffic to/from the internet is handled by firewall rules. And I have defined interface lists like NO_INTERNET_ACCESS, NO_LAN_ACCESS, etc. These lists are then used by the firewall rules. If you later want to add another VLAN that should not get access to the internet you can simply add it to the NO_INTERNET_ACCESS list and you do not have to alter your firewall rules for that specific VLAN.
Take this advice with a grain of salt. If possible, do not test this on your production network but on a separate, isolated router.
Silent Siren announced that they will be back from hiatus (with a support drummer at first) at the end of the year. This led me to listen to their entire discography for the last few days. I can't wait for a new single or album.
The MV for the new single Kimi ni sayonara was just released.
I like this kind of melancholic/slightly sad songs and I've been listening to this song on repeat for the past hour. It's really good :)
I was in the same position two months ago and decided to go with the Prusa MK4 kit with the enclosure. So far I'm happy with my purchase. The deciding factor for me was lastly the loudness of the device because I wanted to use the printer in my apartment. Reviews said that the printer is relatively quiet and I can confirm that. If the door to my "printer room" is closed I'm not able to hear it.
Some points about the MK4:
Positives:
- It prints very fast with the new Input Shaper firmware
- I can control the printer via LAN and WiFi (or print directly from a USB drive)
- Excellent print quality
- Open Source and spare parts are avaiable for a long time
Negatives:
- Maintenance is complicated after installing the printer in the enclosure. You can only access the printer through the front door which makes reaching the sides of the printer difficult and removing the printer from the enclosure is not easy as well because you first have to disassemble the display unit.
I dont' have access to a Bambulab printer so I'm not able to compare both the Prusa MK4 and the Bambulab P1S. Nevertheless, I'm happy with my printer and can recommend it.
Cube 2: Sauerbraten seems to still be maintained. I haven't played it for a long time, though.
The MV of the latest single from my favorite band just dropped.
Once again I'm thinking about how far they have come since the start. Their musical style has changed quite a bit over the years which may not be everybody's cup of tea but I really like them (the songs and the band 😛) and the new song is no exception.
"CENT" is CENT CHiHiRO CHiTTiii's solo project. She started it before the end of BiSH.
This is one of the more rock-like songs from her.
One of the songs I'm currently listening to. The song and the music video feel more like a something from a musical. I quite like it. It makes me wish to be able to understand Japanese.
DeepL translates the video description as follows:
>Tomoyasu Hotei's long-awaited latest work "GUITARHYTHM Ⅶ". In the 35 years since his solo debut "GUITARHYTHM" after the breakup of BOØWY, this is the seventh installment in the popular series that has impacted the scene by opening up an overwhelming world view. > >Set in the year 2023, the first year of AI, the sound concept of this album is "Retro Future," reminiscent of 90s modern music, with a message of hope and warning for the future, and Hotei's guitar sings sharply and elongated throughout the entire album. The album has been highly acclaimed by many artists who should be called "guitarism children," and has been called the best work in the history of guitarism. > >The music video for "Andromeda (feat. Aina the End)," which was released earlier in the year, has been a huge hit with fans on both sides. The film, directed by the brilliant Atsunori Higashiichi, depicts the sad and strange story of a scientist (played by Hotei) and an android (played by Aina the End) who entrust their dreams for the future to an android in a spectacular science fiction rock opera. Aina the End's stunning performance and presence, along with Hotei's silhouette, are stylishly and densely presented in this music video, which is sure to be talked about as a masterpiece that will remain in the history of music videos. > >GUITARHYTHM Ⅶ" is an ambitious work that should be enjoyed by people of all ages, and can be called the culmination of Hotei's constant challenge to new styles as a guitarist.
NINGEN ISU have a unique style that I haven't heard anywhere else. If you like this style I recommend you to listen to their whole discography. They have been around since the late eighties so there are a lot of songs.
Story of Hope sadly disbanded in 2017. But their songs are still awesome!
One of my favorites from MOSHIMO. There is also a faster paced song called Tsutta Sakana Ni Esa Yare whose MV references the last scene of this MV.
A few days ago I posted a song from Chatmonchy. After Chatmonchy's disbandment in 2018 Eriko Hashimoto continued to make music, now under her own name.
For my workstation I'm using a small script that packs and compresses all relevant directories with tar once a week. The resulting file is then copied to a local backup drive and to my NAS. An encrypted version of that file is sent to an offsite VPS.
For my selfhosted services (on Proxmox) I'm using ProxmoxBackupServer.
I've purposely build that NAS around two or three years ago. It's a Gigabyte B360M D3H mainboard, Intel Pentium Gold G5400 and 16GB of the cheapest RAM I could find. An Adaptec 71605 card provides SAS/SATA connections for up to 16 drives and a Mellanox Connect-X3 connects my NAS via 10Gbit/s to my network. The case is an Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4424 . It has 24 hot swap bays. But I would not recommend it because the backplane is terrible. Four or five slots are not working. Sometimes, when I re-insert a drive, it is not detected.
Using cheap RAM bit me in the ass last year as one of the RAM sticks started to fail. I didn't notice that there is a problem with the RAM at first. Only when I observed that one of my scripts was not working I started to investigate the problem. Turns out that one of the RAM sticks failed. Re-inserting the stick did not resolve the problem so I replaced all sticks with old Crucial RAM I had laying around. Some files that I transfered to the NAS during that time period are corrupt. In the future I won't use cheap RAM anymore and I'm also currently planning to replace the mainboard and CPU with something that supportes ECC RAM so that I can be notified when on of the sticks starts to fail.
I like your setup.
Thanks :)
Is your nas on Ext4?
Yes, all HDDs in my NAS are formatted with EXT4. I don't use RAID because there are mostly static files stored there and the drives are configured to spin down after 30 minutes of inactivity.
MD1200 DAS
How loud are those? I've heard that the Dell PowerVault DAS arrays are quite loud.
I believe I could reduce the power consumption by ~50W-60W by replacing the R730 with a modern "consumer" mainboard + CPU. But I need two power supplies (I had some issues a few months ago with my UPS) and iDRAC/IPMI is so convenient that I don't want to miss it anymore.
I'm also currently searching for something power efficient to replace the Pentium in my NAS. Reason for that are some problems with bad RAM a year ago. ECC RAM would be nice to have, so that I can be notified when a RAM stick goes bad. I currently do not know for how long the old RAM stick was bad and which files may be corrupted because of that (I do not use a checksumming file system such as ZFS or BTRFS on my NAS).
