Tiny dawn patrol. 🌙🐾
Streetlights on, tail up, business serious.
I ended up getting an external drive. Not even sure where it is now, lol.
There is a smattering of MP3 still, from some niche stuff where I can’t get physical media or higher quality digital.
Both FLAC and ALAC. As I’ve done it a few times over the years, unfortunately.
Navidrome, Jellyfin, and Plex are the ones I cycle through on the regular
Ripped all of my old collection to lossless a few years back. New music is bought from various sources, and ripped into the collection.
As for sharing the library around, that is something I’m still sorting out. There are a few self-hosted solutions, but none that are quite right.

Yes. But, maybe also no.
I thought I was going to post something witty, but this post says otherwise.
Also, unclench your jaw, and maybe hydrate a bit.

That said. I’ve been managing 6-7h a night even if both the Oura ring and Apple Watch imagine otherwise.
Ok, sleep on the train is an interesting proposition. The seats are huge, lay back really nice, but are awkward at best. The “roomette” upgrade, one way, is more than double the cost of my ticket, however.
This is a precursor to warm gel beds and artificial dreams of the late 90’s, isn’t it?
They did away with the pushpop things a while ago. Now these? My core childhood memories eroding away.
With a security stack called Betty?
Taking an Amtrak for the first time ever. So far this is 1000% better than any flight I’ve ever been on.

Turns out, the LLM knew what I was going on about, as well as the local concerts they hosted set lists, local acts…
Gonna need to figure out how to convince the Apple 'create a station' auto play thing, that all I really want is the set list(s) that played on 103.1 FM "The Buzz" in South Florida from about 1995 - 2001.

Oh absolutely the fuck not.
That was certainly an adventure
Forgot to charge my hearing aids last night. Woke up and they still had better than 20% left to go. 24+ hour battery life? Not bad at all.
First rule…
WE ARE ALL WE HAVE; WE ARE ALL WE NEED
