You might check out wiim stuff. They seem to be the darling of budget streaming for the moment.

There have been a few mentions of Navidrome. I find it works well for sharing at an album or even artist level. It can do playlists as well. But you must explicitly choose what to share, at which point it's generates a unique URL and will generate a web player and zip if you enable the option to download.

You can, of course, just make user accounts and distribute credentials.

If you're needing to offer browsable folders to easily copy, basically a filesystem-like experience, it's probably not the best tool.

Edit: one more thing to point out is that navidrome, jellyfin, and airsonic all construct music libraries differently. Navidrome is using tags, jellyfin uses file names, airsonic uses directory structure. Not sure about Plex.

Tidal has been pretty good for me over the past 5 years. I don't know what your criteria are, but for me it's something like 1) is the catalog big enough to offer 90% of what I'm looking for and 2) no advertising if I'm paying for the service. It ticks those boxes. I imagine it's only a matter of time until they introduce the bullshit tier where you're paying and being advertised to, but for now you get what you pay for.

I think they're suggesting the BMW comment reads like an ad by responding like an ad.

I don't think it's actually still popular, but I'm just talking out of my ass here. I remember it made some waves a few months ago about finally having a new release after so long, and my feeling was a shitload of nostalgia brought it back into the internet spotlight, regardless of how many people are actually using it.

I gave it a spin again, purely for nostalgia. I could find no compelling reason to use it over my actual preferred player, foobar

I feel like the argument for using a nonstandard ssh port these days is that you dodge the low tier automation/bots that are endlessly scanning IPs and port 22 and trying obvious usernames and passwords. I do also question how much it is worth dodging these since presumably you'd have already done the other basics like key only and no root login before this. Maybe there's some value if you want a clean auth.log or equivalent

There's also the "pavlis" recipe, or simply the potassium bicarbonate mix:

Make a concentrate of 10 grams per 100 mL, then use 1ml of concentrate per 1 liter.

Be sure to keep the concentrate in the fridge to slow down the growth of any civilizations, though. A 100ml batch lasts me about 6 weeks at roughly 4 shots a day.

Backblaze B2, which I'm pretty sure is a repackaged S3 provider, or you can just skip them and go directly to AWS S3; though, both aren't drag and drop user friendly like onedrive or gdrive. But both work well if you invest a little time with something like rclone.

I wanted to share my experience with these switches since I wasn't seeing much about them, especially for the latest revision, the "New V2". There's some helpful videos on yt that explain what's up with the versions and the terrible naming. Short version is the V2 came out with dampening at the bottom of the switch, this was not well received, so then came the New V2 with that dampening removed.

I wound up test driving both the V2 and the New V2 and found them both to be very pleasing switches. In fact, I was pretty torn between the two and in the end I got a full set of both versions. Side by side the auditory difference isn't night and day. They're both on the bassy, or thick end of the spectrum, and even the non-dampened New V2 isn't a particularly distracting switch. I've seen it mentioned before that the V2 isn't really a silent switch, but it's pretty close to being one. I definitely found this to be the case, and it is why I went ahead and got a full set for a future office setup. They are definitely quiet enough to not raise much, if any attention and the feel is almost as good as the New V2.

The feel, or i guess more specifically the liquidy travel and lack of wobble is what won me over with both switches. I tried two other linear switches besides the North Poles, and the Gaterons were the most tight feeling by a wide margin. They pretty much killed the Gazzew Boba Gum and LT for me since the wobble on the Gazzews was crazy jiggly by comparison.

In the end the New V2 was the winner. The harder bottom out just felt a tad better and I found myself coming back to them the most. If you're thinking about the New V2 I can't recommend them enough. No scratchiness, virtually no wobble, and a thick sound that doesn't distract unless you're really banging away at them. If you're looking for a silent linear, the V2 is definitely worth a try. For me, they are on standby for this exact reason. I often hear the V2 bottom out described as "gummy." I feel like that's a bit of a stretch. If you were tapping a hard surface with a pen, and then slipped a piece of fabric on the striking surface, that's the feel of the dampening.

Even weirder, these are not nautilus at all, they're octopus. Seeing the nautilus "shell" with suckers did not compute. Confusing overlap in naming.

Just watch out because decaf behaves a bit differently. You usually need a bit more coffee and slightly higher temperature to get in the ballpark of tasty shots. It's a great idea for learning to dial in, but you probably don't want to take your ideal settings from the decaf trials over to regular espresso beans.

Excellent episode for sure. This one comes up in philosophy and legal circles. Legal eagle guy gives at very brief analysis, comparing the procedures used there against actual military courts. It's nothing in depth, but still fun seeing analysis from a legal mind. We watched the arguments portions (on VHS) in philosophy 101 at my university. The professor felt it was a great way to illustrate Descartes' dualism ideas.
