I’m sorry if I’ve insulted someone. I’ll up the bitrate next time I’m doing an export 🙂

I was under the impression opus was much better at the lower bitrates than the more common codecs.

Can you actually hear the difference between 128 and 256kbps on the devices you are listening on?

I have a tendency to want “the best”, but have rarely actually needed “the best”. I export my lossless FLAC music collection to much lower bitrate opus files, which I can then access from my VPS. The switch to opus makes the space requirements for the VPS drastically cheaper. Going with the lower bitrate might make things easier for you.

One of my favorite sayings, which I rarely follow myself, is: Perfect is the enemy of good.

This.

I am quite tech savvy, and I have been using 1password for years.

No mean feat, when you are talking about Trump.

Good example.

In a similar vein: setup alarms. Smoke detectors is an easy one, but also water leakage detectors. If feeling adventurous, maybe logging of water/power usage as well to catch slow leaks.

I was going to say heavy water, but TIL that it’s not just chonky water. It can be toxic.

I do selfhost everything I can, but have chosen not to do that with my passwords. It feels to much all-eggs-in-one-basket-y.

1Password also holds my SSH keys and acts as an ssh-agent on most systems, and I also just found out that you can get secrets from your 1Password vault in Python, which means my PyInfra scripts can use it as well.

I pay for a 1Password family account. I like it.

Getting the family to use it is hard, but that would be the case with any password manager.

It was you! :D

I once saw a guy slip and fall on a banana-peel. He just stared at it for a good 30 seconds in disbelief before getting up.

Don’t worry. You’re not seeing yourself above others, you’re just only seeing yourself.

Depression is one answer. Anhedonia is another. Not having agency in ones life. War, starvation, malice, indifference.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy you are happy, but you sound like someone who have lived a sheltered, privileged life.

No. Clearly it’s aliens!

I use Unraid on my NAS. I like it for storage, I don’t like it for running services. It’s still running my media stack, but only until I get that moved to a Debian server.

Depending on how involved you want to be and what you want to learn, Unraid might be a good fit for you. It’s easy and mostly just works.

*Could there be a way to make someone else “enjoy”… :D

In Denmark it’s probably Snave (No English Wikipedia page for it). Population is a whopping 211 people. It was popularized in a series of commercials for a Danish cellular carrier. The concept was so popular that there even was a movie. I haven’t seen it, but the reviews seems to suggest it could be fun to watch… If you are drunk enough.

The word “snave” in Danish can somewhat be translated to snogging in English. Heavy kissing. Which has led to the city having massive problems with theft of their signs.

Yeah. It’s the warning light for when the ship is sinking.

Right now it’s whipper, beet, Navidrome and Symphonium.

I’m buying cheap CDs in thrift stores and ripping them and really enjoy listening to my own music on my own devices.

Not so much a weird thing, but more a weird price.

My local thrift store are known to have high prices. Not because they sell high-quality stuff, the prices are just high. The most insane thing there is what’s clearly a jar that used to hold pickled beets. It’s clean, though, I’ll give them that. Pickled beets are cheap and available in all groceries here. The thrift store chose to price this, empty, jar at 150% the price of a new jar including pickles!
