I'm early onto my journey with this and tossing between logseq and obsidian. Thoughts?

I do this for a living if you get stuck and want to DM. I'd recco just getting a Focusrite Scarlett usb interface with enough inputs. Are you DIing your guitar (plugging it in) or recording it with a mic? There are plenty of free recording options. You on PC? If mac I'd just start with Garage Band. PC you could maybe just start with Audacity. Ardour is open source but I don't have experience with it. Reaper has infinite demo mode. There's a free pro tools but that might be a bit of a steep learning curve. If you want to add electronic elements it might be worth starting with one of the intro versions of Ableton.

I found the first dark tower a bit of a slog. Worth me making a start on the second you think?

Sound Designer/Creative Director. Audio post production for TV. Mostly commercials but some film and TV.

How do you monitor the washing machine and drier?

Isn't that considerably over budget?

Second for this. Got one myself. 1080p, USB C, upgradable ram, I replaced the internal and external batteries no problem. I stuck a second SSD inside last weekend and replaced the thermal paste in about 20 mins. If you like tinkering and being able to repair and maintain yourself it's really great.

Got win 11 on one SSD and Debian on the second and all running well.

Maybe you've seen the comments above but might not be the case.

Propose is a little extreme, no?

I'm also watching this as I'm in the same boat. I can't help I'm afraid but I imagine people might ask if you want to ever transcode to the other devices.

Perhaps worth trying kiwis built in adblocking before you start. I recently installed kiwi so I could run 'i still don't care about cookies'. Seems really nice

Wefwef until Boost is released and I'll see which I prefer. I used to use Boost for Reddit so I'm expecting I'll use that.
