I have been looking to get away from Spotify, but I feel like the current ecosystem of self-managed music libraries/players is...not great? If you're trying to keep a library in sync and accessible over a few devices (Macbook, iPhone, and a Windows computer) the options are basically Apple Music

Great idea for a blog post, I feel like we all have these lists

Maybe I'm missing something but I believe you can do this in Fastmail? In Settings under the "Set Up" category, go to "My email addresses" and you can create an alias that delivers to a specific/label/folder or has other rules attached

I just read your blog post about Ente. I have been running Immich myself since the summer, but looking to offload the sysadmin work. How do you find the facial recognition for your kids on Ente? When I experimented with it last year, I found it was confusing my two kids (and sometimes other kids)

I’m sure there’s a good reason why this hasn’t been done (credit card processing fees for example), but I would like some form of micropayments system where I can buy access to a day’s worth of news and content like I used to with a paper. It’s the subscriptions that makes people hesitant

I wonder if they realize how many people they are turning off their products forever at this point. It’s accelerating

I wish the desktop software was still actively supported. Such a gorgeous app

Did you intern under Jayson Stark

Don’t see it ever having mainstream appeal until somebody figures out how to solve the problem of “you could lose your best stuff!”

Hard balance to strike between the risk/reward side and the safety net that would keep most people playing even when losing

Loved it as well, very similar message to Blake Crouch’s Recursion (which is also excellent)

There are different degrees of looking bad. Their second half performances against the Bucs and Broncos were really pathetic

Hated that boss, was stuck for days

Fitting that it’s still there all these years later

The league is taking away a Clippers first round pick to punish this behavior. Unfortunately it’s the one they traded to the Sixers

Have you considered leaving yourself little notes all over the house like a Resident Evil game

My kid loves this show and I enjoy the pun so it’s a win-windmill
