Nah, for keeping in contact with family, friends, work and more meta makes things easy and seems the default.

Have considered getting Facebook back after a decade or so away as it still seems rather useful for interacting with local businesses & certain groups……and Whatsapp seems far more invasive anyway.

I’ve not used it for years but have whatsapp and insta, like anything else just leave and the world will not implode.

Little point in fleeing Facebook if one likes it and they are just gonna feed Meta via whatsapp or insta anyway imo.

Either is fine.

I tend towards ubuntu lts pro with automatic upgrades and reboots. Much like the guide you mention pretty much everything targets ubuntu lts.

Yeah, I’m not about to rush in but I suspect over the next year or so I’ll be letting an llm loose on my old crates to see what happens and MacGyver some sort of Dread Pirate Robot that can run locally and is a frankenstein of beets, plugins and other projects that will eat music and shit albums.

A mishmash of beets and the old ways got me to where I am, navidrome with a bit of mpv & kodi.

I’m currently trying to ignore it and plan to return with a new workflow over the next year or so. Beets will be part of this but also need some python, shell glue and other tools working together, and things are changing at little faster than they once were.

I spent a little time a few months back grabbing NPR and KEXP audio at scale with yt-dlp and having them land with decent tags as navidrome compliant albums and now feel a little more confident incorporating oddities into sacred realm of jazz flacs.

But the one folder to rule them all is still in the planning stages.

It’s an interesting article, and the archery aspect cool too, but I’d prefer to have this kind of information and speculation presented as a cheesy action movie heavy on the special effects and sex appeal.

A little fungal foot powder should sort things
