  • Oh absolutely true about smx pads being expensive. I got mine both 2nd hand from fb marketplace at a bit of a discount.

    Outfox just released a new major update that fixes a lot of things but I would say they still have a good amount of work to do. They’re trying really hard to modernize stepmania and so far they have some impressive results. For me I like that they support much higher frame rates than stepmania which pairs well with my 144hz monitor.

    For my smx pads I did make custom arrows that change when pressed. I didn’t do any of the fancy gif ones but they’re not hard to make/use. They have software that you can use to edit the pad’s LEDs and the underglow.

    Probably the best feature of the smx pads is being able to set custom ranges for sensor sensitivity. I can basically control the definition of an arrow press which is pretty handy







  • I’ll ask since you seem to know about westerns. I’m trying to figure out the best John Wayne movies to watch and there seems to be a mixed consensus on which ones are good hooks for his many movies. Do you have any recommendations? I have no experience at all with his movies and only want to watch them because my dad is a huge fan. Unfortunately my dad just passed so I can no longer ask him which ones I should watch but I want to get an appreciation for the things my dad cared about.



  • I don’t mean to add fuel to the fire with Gentry or anything but I can speak towards my experience with jellyfin here. When I started with jellyfin I didn’t know a lot about networking or even self hosting, I pretty much jumped in blind. Although it’s fair to say I am not new to technical concepts/troubleshooting so my experience is definitely going to be smoother than a non technical user.

    For context I am using truenas scale to host jellyfin and I was able to install it, configure it, and get my library going on the first try and it was definitely under 20 minutes. Once I decided I wanted remote access to my library it wasn’t super crazy to figure out tail scale (maybe 30 minutes?) and have that available too. It might not have been under an hour total but coming from almost nothing as a newer user I didn’t really experience a lot of turbulence.
