My week has been one of growth.

Over the past couple of months, my wife and I have been having lots of drama because she's polyamorous, but I'm innately monogamous (at least thus far).

She has a boyfriend now and it's been a struggle, but I've finally accepted/realized that there's no actual threat of her leaving (which was the core source of my anxiety and jealousy).

So we're doing awesome now! We still have sex, snuggle, and generally carry on as normal, just that she also has someone who is satisfying that need to experience new relationships.

So overall, my week is going great

I made the sub use a transmission line for porting, which you can see in the full gallery.

This gives it a really low frequency response, but takes up a lot of room.

Thanks! Yeah I always loved reading that sub for ideas and inspiration.

Man, I was a teenager, reading the PC magazine ads, wishing I had the money to build a system like this!

Just chiming in to say that while I can understand some people's frustration, I support this.

The community here is great and I'd like it to stay that way.

In real life, I choose to associate with good people and avoid areas where the quality of people who can show is completely unpredictable or not my taste.

i prefer a chill bar with quiet outside seating and no live music. I go there specifically because I'm not looking for a biker bar experience.

I see it as a strength to the fediverse. It's no different than different forums back in the day. I do understand that my above statement would be akin to different communities, but I agree that even if someone's behavior is only "bad" in a community where that was acceptable, it does affect the community as a whole, knowing that they're lurking (in terms of feeling like this is a safe space).

Keep up the good work, and thank you for having to make these difficult decisions; I know it's not easy.

That's what happened to me back in the day. Being young and naive, definitely picked up some things I had to undo and look back with cringe.

That's what I think, those who are actually interested in managing a quality sub will likely learn how the fediverse works and move, since the quality of people here will, on average, be higher than the unwashed masses.

Yeah, I'm on the Tropical Weather discord and they announced they're going dark, likely for good.

Multiple devs, but yeah...same here, I'm done with reddit.

Sync was amazing! Not a chance in hell I'll use anything else.

I decided to setup a recurring donation to Beehaw in place of my reddit subscription.

In principle, I'm over reddit even if that backtracked. I've been reddit free for 4 days now.

I haven't used reddit in 3 days now, completely fine with the great community here.
