Yeah, I’m one of those latter people. When the tinnitus is so bad that it induces vertigo and nausea on a regular basis, among other things, it’s difficult to ignore.
edit: Once I went to get an MRI for it and they were really apologetic about how loud the banging in the machine was going to be, and I fell asleep twice because it was the first time something had covered up the ringing in a while.
Firefox Focus appears to let me play youtube without ads, but I’m unclear if it’s because I also have the Vinegar extension (which shouldn’t matter, since the extension itself says it only works in Safari.)
Can probably use Audacity. May need to install a ffmpeg plugin first to read the opus files, then:
goto Tools > Apply Macro > Palette…
select “MP3 Conversion”
then click “Files…” to choose your files and it should start a batch process.
Before that, probably go to Edit > Preferences > Directories and change the entry for “Macro output” to a custom folder so it’s easy to find. (note: the instructions on that settings page says to leave a field blank to use the last directory, but that’s not the case for macro output, definitely set a custom location for that.)
edit: also a good method for converting FLAC if there’s a need for it
I believe it has to do with not obstructing the flow of blood returning from the lower extremities any more than necessary, to give a more accurate pressure reading at rest. If you’re walking or running, alternating muscle contraction helps to pump the blood upward, but if you’re just standing, the general muscle engagement to keep you standing can slow it. But I could be wrong about this.
Yes, I meant that while using a VPN (which is the safest and most recommended) that port forwarding doesn’t work anyway, so don’t worry about port forwarding.
I triple boot Windows with a Debian distro and an Arch distro. Windows is on one drive with its boot loader there so it doesn’t mess with the linux boot loaders and vice versa, and the two linux distros and their boot loaders are on a second drive. Just make sure Windows is already there and the linux boot loaders will pick it up.
