  • Until the next update reenables it.

    Really the only OS that where hibernation and suspension works smooth enough for me has been MacOS so far. Windows wakes up the whole PC to do things. On Linux you get GPU related power state issues that cause weird things. On MacOS it has always “just worked” for me. Still not buying one though. Rather shut down my machine.

    Of course not. You need other software to rip your music from physical media, or potentially multiple other software to search and download them. You’ll need additional software to host everything over the internet. You’ll probably want a computer to act as a server. You’ll very likely need a private VPN to be able to access it over the public internet. You’ll need some networking knowledge to set everything up. Hope you’re familiar with docker. And afterwards you’ll have to manage everything yourself once they are up.

    Even if you don’t search for new music very often it’s a lot of work. If you care about being able to discover new music then it’s pretty bad. There’s a reason music streaming exploded in popularity so quickly. This shit is not easy or convenient to self-host. At all. If you’re already selfhosting a bunch of stuff, then it might be worth it to add this stack on top of your existing stuff. But absolutely not worth building anything from scratch just for this.







  • I’ve always found it super interesting that Disney made a kids’ thing out of that particular book. Because that’s a bleak fucking book full of nasty filthy disgusting terrible people doing nasty filthy disgusting terrible things. Someone went “you know the classic where a couple of city officials drool after a gypsy woman and violently rape her in a cathedral and then hang her in the street? And a grotesque monster rampages against them for it? Wouldn’t the kids just love that one but as a musical and instead of hanging her they burn her at the stake?”



  • Compulsory service exists in many parts of the world and it is rarely good.

    Forcing people to do work they don’t want to do leads to very unproductive environments that are also very open to abuse. Being forced by law to do the work has a tendency to create super unhealthy power dynamics.
