Another FB find.

Holy fuck......RIP....!

^^ RIP Bill English. Interesting, too, that his invention was 3 years before Xerox PARC; I always though it was AT Xerox....

I hate to laugh as he just passed, but that WAS funny.....

RIP Mr. Brimley.... Such an interesting history! In addition to what Ric quoted: "He had a pleasant singing voice and recorded several albums of jazz standards, including “This Time the Dream’s on Me” and “Wilford Brimley With the Jeff Hamilton Trio.” He could more than hold his own as a guitarist too"

Happy Birthday, namesake!! And thanks for all you do!

The Roon Nucleus is not worth the $. You can spend 1/2 to 1/3 of that, get more power, and load Roon Rock OS for free. I did that with a NUC (two NUC's actually, one at home and one on a Windows NUC in Maine condo). At home I installed a 2TB SSD for my music, and in Maine I use an external USB drive with a 500GB SSD. Both still cheaper than either Roon Nucleus pre-made box.

Happy Birthday!

RIP John Saxon. Loved Don Winslow's Tweet:

Very Happy Birthday!!

Roon requires a "core" server, be it a standalone machine or the core SW on another machine; and yes, always on. One of the things I love about Roon is the ability to have many different endpoints. I have had up to 7 endpoints active in my home, several streamers and a couple network-enabled table speakers (Naim and Elac). Very easy to use and direct output to any of the endpoints, and can access local library as well as Tidal and Qobuz services through the same interface. It also has some metadata capabilities that I like as well, info on artists, recommendations in the genre, and the like. Roon "remotes" can be on mobile devices or desktop devices as well..... If ALL you want to do is use a streaming service, and to one or a limited number of devices that need to be network-ready, Roon may be overkill.

Steve if you could and would make those panels, that'd be porn enough for me. But in the meantime.....

This, very much this....RIP......

That's OK, you can still mourn.....😉

The guitarist Gary Moore died in 2011.....
