Probably not exactly what you have in mind, but I'd still recommend The Reality Dysfunction (and the other two books in the Night's Dawn Trilogy) by Peter F Hamilton.

Thanks! This looks good, took me a while to figure out the playlist and stream relationship but seems to work well.

This looks like the kind of thing I'm looking for, thanks! Am trying it out.

I find the VLC Android app a bit odd for audio only. There's a lot of wasted space and I can't see the name or metadata very clearly.

I agree it works, and I didn't know about the shortcuts and will try that.

VLC is amazing, but it doesn't feel like the best tool for this.

 

Can anyone recommend a good Android network audio stream client?

VLC works but is too full-featured. I want to set up a couple of bookmarks, open the app and start/stop/view metadata.

Thanks!

Most things by Snow Tha Product - start with 'Butter' or 'No Cap In My Captions'.

Thanks - I'm looking for a pad with no other features other than the USB output, but this does have that outlet.

Nice, thanks! That's the sort of thing, especially the second one that has USB-C out as well. Neat.

 

Has anyone seen a wireless charger that also has a USB outlet port?

The objective is to wirelessly charge a phone overnight, but at some bedtimes/lazy mornings I want to use my device when it's low on battery so require a cable.

Current solution: don't bother with wireless. Another solution - use a dual outlet charger (or two chargers), one cable to the pad and a spare.

The reason I can't find one is probably because manufacturers need to deal with power requirements if a user tries to use pad and outlet at the same time, or has to turn one outlet off if the other is in use.

In the 70s we had a cassette tape kids story about a wizard who lived in a mountain and kept all the winds in a box.

The story was about someone who went in and retrieved the winds.

It involved blowing up sections of passageways (the narrator talked of lighting the blue touchpaper), and the wizard woke up and chased the hero.

He had a walking stick so his steps were reproduced including that, and he was calling, "My wind! Somebody's stolen my wind!".

I think it was probably on the front of a magazine or something. I don't know if it's a traditional story or something written for that production but I thought it was brilliant at the time.

 

I'm running Docker on Ubuntu server; around 50 containers running, most admin via Portainer. Configuration files and small databases for container applications are stored on the local SSD, media and larger files are stored on a NAS.

NAS data and the container folders are backed up.

I have a second identical machine doing nothing. What would you recommend researching to add resilience to this setup? Top priority is quick and easy restoration should the SSD fail - everything else is relatively easy to replace.

I'll create an SSD RAID but I like the idea of a second host.
