I've been using X2Go to stream audio from my main computer to the ancient laptop I use in the kitchen, and it appears to just send the raw uncompressed audio data

this is good, because then if I pipe that audio to a bluetooth speaker, at least it's only mangled once by bluetooth.

or, I can suck it up and use an aux cord, and the audio comes thru perfect!

streaming raw full-quality music is No Problem for wifi devices 3+ generations out of date as long as there's a halfway usable signal

being able to perceive bluetooth 5.0 audio compression at max quality isn't a trait I'm fond of

by desiring a system equalizer on a pulseaudio system I am probably really, really, really Asking For It, huh.

got a new bluetooth speaker for xmas, that's good, I have been extremely faithful to my $19 literally-cyberpunk one (it has a disco mode and a thick chinese accent) but it's just not powerful enough rly

In typography, a dinkus is a typographic symbol which often consists of three spaced asterisks in a horizontal row, i.e.   ∗ ∗ ∗  . The symbol has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this use has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.[3]

I hope everyone has a good and stress-free Christmas as possible 🎁

I can't tell the not-the-rona tired apart from the social overload tired, either way I need multiple days of rest and there is a near zero chance I will be getting that any time soon.

I'm beyond exhausted and I have roughly 30 more hours of Christmas to deal with.

I was big into wikipedia in 2004 or so. Among many other things, I sourced a few public domain photos that were photo of the day and whatnot.

Too much contact with the "regulars" put an end to that, I wanna say probably by 2006.

I'm honestly inclined to think this was a false negative despite being a PCR test because

* literally everyone in my "pod" has either gotten sick, tested positive, or both within the past 2 weeks

* symptoms are exactly consistent with what is being reported for Omicron breakthroughs

* we are in the middle of a very large covid surge in my immediate area

interesting, my PCR test was negative
