  • So mostly I try to get my music from Bandcamp, artists’ websites, or iTunes. With these methods I don’t have to correct any info through Kid3 and normally have the correct album art for Navidrome.

    If they don’t have an option to purchase their music I’ll use soulseek or yt-dlp to download it. That’s normally for obscure artists, music that can’t be sold due to Copyrights, or sanctioned countries (for example Russian musicians).

    I’ve found that self-hosting my music has helped me slow down my music consumption and be more picky about what I listen to. I’ve also found good quality applications such as Feishen (macOS), play:Sub (iOS), and Symfonium (Android).




  • I mean, I can see why it’s brewed an anti crowd. Founded by Radio Free Asia, a USA propaganda arm, and was funded up until late last year.

    Additionally they have been aggressively pushed by the NED, an organization created to effectively conduct CIA color revolution in the overt.

    And finally, compared to the other major US developed and funded project Tor, it is very centralized. It requires a phone number to use. The open source code is very oftenly neglected with the repository being out of date compared to the code being pushed out in updates.

    Not every non-profit is your friend. Especially not non-profits that recieve funding largely from an agressive state that fashions itself as world police.

    Now, I do use it as the US government is not currently in my threat model and I’m in need of an accessible messaging platform that I can get friends, family, and coworkers onto. But if for instance, the next administration extends transphobic policies federally you best believe I’m keeping that information off Signal.



  • I just want to be able to input an address and it actually take me there and not just give the whole road. I don’t care much for lacking traffic data but I want to at least get directions.

    I understand I can search for locations but that doesn’t work for houses, unlisted businesses (recently had an issue trying to local a local clinic that we were given the address for), or many trailheads.

    short nicknameserv 2 (accidentally screwed up 1.0’s OS and all of my Apple devices are similar format but phone, pad, etc) for my opencore-updated macOS server.

    Lnxserv for my Debian server (boring but followed the naming scheme).

    I used to have cool mythological names and the like but anymore I want simplicity and it to be more personal than some deity.


  • I’ve been using Posteo for a few months now. Have 2 dedicated aliases setup (more than 2 is €0.25 per) with filters effectively making two separate inboxes for them.

    It does well, web app sometimes fails over to Deutsch at random, the login cookies are very short lived (good to prevent access from local intrusions), and supports 2FA.
