Looks like I’m an outlier here. I run navidrome on my server, but for jams on the go I use a HiFi Walker H2 dac/mp3 player with Rockbox. I sync my library from the server to the sd card when I add new music/podcasts/audiobooks. I wrote a python cli tool for the syncing.

At home I use the web interface on my laptop, and an old android (wifi only) phone connected to Bluetooth speakers for kitchen tunes.

Been using Joplin with self hosted server for years and it’s been great. It’s not the prettiest app, but it’s been the stickiest for my needs.

+1 for the x4. I LOVE mine. Especially with the Crosspoint firmware. Great price, pocketable, and easy to put whatever you want on it no matter where you got it.

Dotfiles?

The gnu coreutils are amazing.

That ship has sailed. Systemd isn’t going anywhere. The upside is you can run a distro that uses an alternative init if you want. There’s runit, sysV, and openrc that I can think of off the top of my head.

You dont have to like, or use systemd. That’s the beauty of Linux.

Team vim! Learned it five or six years ago, and never looked back. I’ve also got vim motions enabled for my shell, in the browser (firefox with vimium), and in my window manager (sway).

When you say jeans, do you want them to be denim? Or are you open to other materials?

I work a labor job that is brutal on jeans/pants. Ive been wearing Mascot workwear pants for years now, and they are the most durable work pants ive ever had.

They have jean style pants as well as pants with extra cargo pockets, and the thing that I lovrle the most, they have pants with knee pad pockets. They have saved my knees!

I have worked this job for six years now and I’m on my second pair of pants. The first pair is beat to shit after all this time. Ive been patching them up over the years, I just bought the new pair early last year.

The pair I’m wearing now ive been wearing for close to a year and they have no rips, tears, or wear spots.

I’m not affiliated with the company, they just make good pants that I wear for work. The pants I buy cost around $140USD when I bought the most recent pair.

What do they call a Debian?

🖕Zuckerburg. Haven’t been on meta platforms in years now and I dont miss it.

I am a U.S. citizen (stuck in the U.S.) and I view the U.S. as an enemy country
