The last time you had a panic/anxiety attack, why?
Mono/stereo problem with videos files. How to fix?
I have some video files which have stereo audio tracks that were created from a mono source. I think the mono signal got sent to the right channel and not the left because when I created the files in OBS I forgot to select mono audio recording.

As someone who is aging. Late thirties. How can I keep my finger on the pulse of current trends, particularly in music?

Remember when it was a big deal if you chose .zip, .rar, or 7z, etc? Now we all have so much bandwidth it doesn't matter.
Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there’s probably one or more good reasons why they don’t....
Physical Media (Blu-Ray, Music CDs)
Ever since I got my Michael Jackson Thriller CD, I’ve been thinking, I have started to prefer physical releases more when it comes to films and music, because it’s nice to have something you own in your hands, lend to a neighbour, and rip to your devices....

Is there any way to turn my Linux machine into a docking station?
The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine....

I always wanted to try this game when I was a kid.

Long story short, I tried it and it works. Replacing the localhost part of the URL was...

I’m finally ready to do it, but I’m a little concerned about my gaming experience. Are there any gotchas...
Summer is the worst season of the year, isn't?
The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can’t wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside… The fucking beach.

How do you like to tell people about the fediverse?
