Patched CAT6 cable to nearly every room in the house. WIFI is good these days but still cant compete with good ol ethernet.

For Australia I would go with Snowtown for the bodies in barrels. Or maybe Kendall where William Tyrrell disappeared. Both towns are pretty small.

I reinstalled NFSU2 a couple of weeks ago. Still a lot of fun.

I built a home virtual server host on Proxmox. It destroyed itself 3 times in 6 months. I gave up and installed server 2019 with HyperV. Has been rock solid for years.

If you run windows then try 🪟+. (Full stop) To access an array of ascii emoji.

Torrents are all well and good until you want an album from more than a couple of years ago.

My current workflow. Find a band that I like. Add it to lidarr. Wait 10min. All of their albums are in Plex and can be streamed from anywhere in the world.

Not sure if you mean find recommendations of new stuff to listen to, or the download source? Recommendations from Last.fm Download source is currently Deezer. Lidarr+ scripts has a bit of a learning curve https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts

Spotify was OK back when I used it after Google Music died. YouTube Music’s algorithm sucked so I used Spotify for about a year. Then I installed Plex for movies and TV but also found it was also great at streaming music. PlexAmp gives me access to a good suggestion algorithm. I made the decision to give them my $$ instead. Now with lidarr+scripts I can have any music I want with almost zero effort. Plus, as the OP said, I get the fun little side hobby of music curation.

It is the only platform where I can follow specific people without a algorithm getting in the way. They all need to choose a new one to move to.

It would probably need a firing mechanism like airbags; that creates a vacuum in the air shocks. That would suck it down but may need to be reloaded by repair shop.

It is the only social media I can still view only those I follow and in chronological order. I don’t like the algorithms. I re-followed Elon for about 12 hours the other day. Then I remembered why I unfollowed.

AFAIK the one time unlock stays with the car.

It is a monthly subscription. I am not sure what the problem is? the new owner can choose to pay it or not.
