@Gina I know that feel. Look at Flask if you know basic python. It generates static site web applications with minimal effort. If you just want a site/blog thingy, Pelican is also great to work with. Utilises the same Jinja templates Flask does.I do everything I can to stay away from JavaScript. Maybe not the best attitude.

@Gina That's sweet. My cat Khajiit used to wait in a bush near the bus stop where I was getting off on my way home.

@Gina You can toggle the advanced setting on the output>streaming tab. You will have to play around there to find the sweet spot. I'd suggest you get a good mic, something like a lav or a shotgun. Poor video can pass, but poor audio makes people leave immediately. It's how our brains work, and radio tech has been around too much for people to put up with bad audio.A good idea when having limited upload (like I do with my OfflineNL subscription) is to put the stream on a couple minutes delay. Youtube can be set up for that easily. I don't know about Twitch, but I'm sure you can manage.If you want to spend a couple thousand eurobucks, hit me up for gear recommendation for video and audio recording. :P If you just wanna rabbit-hole on your own, look up the GH5.

@Gina Ah I see you have a camera already (a6400 from the look of it?). Git a nice shotgun for it though. Audio from that thing is not great. Rode has nice stuff around 400 euros. And you might want to check Olive as an alternative to KdenLive. It's still alpha, but for small scale work (no multiple sources of video/audio) it might be more intuitive and more enjoyable to work with. Open source.

@Gina Yeah, this shit can get expensive fast. Pray you never get into bird photography. 400 euros is like half the price of a CHEAP teleobjective.You treat your gear well and it barely loses from its resale value (glass sells around 95% MSRP, good audio gear similarly), so in case you lose interest you regain much of your investment. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

There was a long-form article in the Hungarian press about burnout of my generation (early-mid 30s). It is based on research around thesis of the book "Can't Even", which is dealing with burnout culture as well. This flew under my radar, so I started to read into the book. "I'm in this picture" feel constantly, and I'm not liking it. I've decided to make a move this year away from smartphones after about 9 years of using them. My main use-case, besides reading shit on a screen too small for my eyes, is podcasts and music. Online payment via iDeal, but that's something I can work around.So first thing first I ordered a nice, touch-screen free audio player that should arrive this Friday. Audiophile quality shit, costly but it should last a decade. Since it is working with sd cards, I need a way to grab and org podcasts. I found bashpodder, which is nice and simple, but lacks organisation and timestamping by order of release. gPodder is very, very much not to my liking. I've been thinking of making an archiver front-end for youtube-dl for some time anyway, so this is a good opportunity to do some desktop UI development for fun and with a purpose. I will make it open source for everyone to enjoy once it is done. No ETA, but I hope it will not take long. Making time for it is the hardest part, not the development.

@Coffee Yeah, it's a very important piece. @Gina have you read this one? You often post on the topic.

@Gina My big problem with my phone is that it keeps me from getting bored. It's healthy to be bored at times.

@Gina If you have, say, a Dell business monitor with USB slots on the side and belly, you can use that for static/changing peripheries. I like to use those ports for sd card copying, computer is tucked away behind the desk.Mine is a Dell P2418D. I can wholeheartedly recommend it, 99% adobeRGB coverage makes photography and video so much more enjoyable. My wife picked one up after working for a week on it (this is a trend, she took my trackball too T_T).

@FreePietje yeah I unplugged my case fans because I really don't need that CPU idling at 45C when 60C won't hurt it. But now I have no fans spinning in the pc except when gaming, which I do with headphones on anyway. Bliss. Also one cat loves sleeping on top of the tower now.

@FreePietje the ones I unplugged are silentwings that my purebase 500 came with. They are loud. The cpu cooler is Noctua and I cannot hear whether it's on or off. GPU and PSU also has zero rpm modes below heat thresholds, that was the goal when speccing the machine. R53600 chugs along nicely without thermal spikes.

@FreePietje Now that we are talking computers, have you had any rendering issues with Chromium in bullseye? I'm on kernel 5.11.16-051116-generic with amdgpu 20.45-1188099, and sometimes I experience a line across image thumbnails. It comes and goes, and I never really bothered to fix it.

@FreePietje Now that you mention it, the amd gpu was a remnant from other times. My first 5600xt arrived with a dead fan, and I was debugging whether it was sw or hw failure out of the box.As for Chromium, I agree, but I'd rather have a browser that works well. Firefox is not going in good directions, and haven't implemented features that they promised 5-6 years ago (inline translation like Chrome does. It's a must have for me unfortunately), and the addons that try to fill the gap are all crummy and don't work well.
