Seconding Broadchurch, it’s incredible. Big Little Lies too. Poker Face arguably counts, with its Columbo-esque “just one more thing” motif. And The Flight Attendant gave me a lot more respect for Kaley Cuoco (of Big Bang Theory fame), though it’s also got some (darkly) comedic elements. Naturally, do a cursory search for all of these before passing them along: I enjoyed them, but idk what your grandparents are like…
I [created and] moderate !technicaldeathmetal@lemmy.world, and since it’s a niche interest on a fairly small platform, it’s mostly a ghost town, with me posting music I like. This works for me in that I never wanted to mod anything, just wanted to join a community I ended up having to create myself. Though it does feel a bit like shouting into the void.
As far as rules, yeah instance rules are the baseline, then you can stack whatever you want on top of that. Idk how to grow, I’m making everything up as I go along. I’ve been posting regularly myself to put the community on metalheads’ radar, maximizing the variety to try to throw a wide net, cross-posting very occasionally (ok I guess once lol) to related comms, and starting themes (“Secret Killers” for hidden-gem bands, “Left Field” for established bands that haven’t made it big somehow, and “Mods Are Drunk Friday” for posting zany stuff that otherwise might not fit).
Ah fair enough, I always forget about supply concerns
To question 2: the Elite-C was explicitly designed as a drop-in USB-C replacement for the Pro Micro (same pinout), so that’d be a safe option
from the album A Different Painting For A New World
from the album Praeceptum
Yep you can, but it probably has to be through the web interface instead of an app. I created !technicaldeathmetal@lemmy.world myself a few weeks ago, there were no restrictions. It’s literally just the button, then you go through a setup wizard.
from the album EXISTENTIAL DEPRESSION
from the album Misanthrophic Carnage
Like many of us, I journeyed through a number of different genres figuring out what I like (and I may never be done). Along the way, I stumbled into Severe Torture in the used section of my local CD Warehouse (fuck I'm old) and picked it up on a whim. These days, I don't have the patience for much of brutal death's drum style, but this was a welcome departure from the mainstream at the time (2005?)
More JFAC Friday, but off-genre this time. I’m having a hard time proving it, but I’d have sworn Entities was tacked onto the rest of the EP, as like a bonus track for a rerelease. It has the polish and production value of Genesis with the style of Doom, and importantly the mastery of the high+low layered vocals which got me all hot and bothered when I first heard these guys
I’m generally trying to avoid repeating bands as long as I can while this community is getting started, but on a rules-are-relaxed Friday evening I’m gonna take the opportunity to post more JFAC. Tracks like this have an absolutely evil chord progression. I’m sure guitar nerds could explain what I’m hearing at 1:15, all I know is it makes me want to worship dead gods and rip my own eyelids off
This is groove metal. Imo it sounds like not only a Lamb of God tribute band, but specifically the Ashes/Sacrament era. This track's solo at 2:55 reminded me of What I've Become (at 1:19) and caused me to appreciate What I've Become even more. Bonus: Sic Semper Tyrannis from the same album must be an absolute RIPPER live: I just headbanged my skull all the way off to it (in part because of the riff similar to 512 off of Sturm Und Drang).
from the album Elements of Instability
Wow, what a name. Good tunes though. The chiptune segment in Roar Allay and Alter was also a fun surprise!
“Left field” in this community is for bands that are not new, but recently released something impressive, prompting me to wonder “why have I not heard of you from any of your previous albums??”
Leans a little *core sometimes (I am also a deathcore junkie, cut me some slack), but wow these guys don't mess around.

Delicious fretless bass, also Inferi's vocalist (since 2018)!
from the album Entity In The Void
The guitar riff at 2:56 sounds a lot like Born of Osiris - Empires Erased, and that makes my former "high school deathcore junkie" self rejoice in nostalgia
Bumped into this band because the EP "In the Maze of Kadath" by French death metal band Catacomb (tbh, the name makes more sense for the French) was recommended FFO Lovecraftian themes. These guys have a fun proggy sound though, I'm here for it.
from the album Psalms of Misanthropy (2016 Remix)
For the unaware, this is Malcolm Pugh (founding Inferi guitarist and erstwhile vocalist, and all-around BAMF)'s solo side project. See also: Demon King, also a few defunct bands.
from the album Weapons Of Spiritual Carnage

Made me think of the MiniDox, but that takes standard switches. Someone seems to have made their own Choc version, but even then idk if the columnar stagger is pronounced enough…
The classic resource is ai03's guide, successfully used it myself a couple years ago to design my current daily driver in KiCAD.
A+ movie. Also makes me wish I could find the early 2000s TV series. It’s probably not worth revisiting, but I’d still like to try.
The videos I watched are out of date now RE specific tech, but Paul’s Hardware was a very useful reference when I built my first desktop in 2011. These days, Machines & More on YouTube would be a go-to (focused on small form-factor, but good emphasis on what’s useful and what’s marketing fluff)
This is my problem too - login has worked fine with Mlem, Memmy (iOS both), and web interface, but not Liftoff
