I always thought that the word “island” was just short for “isolated land” – There has to be some reason there’s an ‘s’ in there right?. But some etymologist told me it didn’t come to be in that manner.

I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.
I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.
My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.
Actually, just having to rewind things at all.
Using pencils to manually rewind cassette tapes.
Scientific notation for everything: 5 x 10^6 m. Seriously though, I think it would be easier to think about it in megameters or gigameters if it were more standard to do so.
Tiny aerosolized particles of toilet tissue from constantly unrolling it.
I might be ok with this if they also had “ebb” pricing. If I could walk in at 8pm and get a burger for a buck, it might be worth it never to go at lunchtime again.
This, of course, will never happen.
GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.
I can’t see it in the Canadian Google Play Store :(
The first thing I do when researching a new electronic thing is to search “[brand] home assistant” to see if there is already an integration for their stuff. If not, I usually keep looking.

Bookstack is what I self host, but this is the best pure markdown editor I’ve found: https://markdownlivepreview.com/
Oh, I fully blame HP for this, but I am also just asking the question. Now that you mentioned colouring pages, I remember that I used a printer pretty heavily while my kids were home during quarantine.
For the odd time I have to print something, it’s more worth my while to just go to Staples or whatever and get it printed for me there.
The only other thing I cam remember printing in the near term has been amazon return labels.
Somebody tell me again why we, as a society, still print things? Other than publishing, why do we need printers?
I am using a normal desktop case with an external usb-c 8-bay JBOD drive enclosure from Mediasonic. I’m using mdadm to combine the drives with RAID-6. I know I’m not getting the performance that I could with native SATA, but it can still saturate my 1Gbps network, so it’s good enough for serving video, audio, and some other web-based apps.
I have investigated many, many subsonic compatible apps for one as full featured as DSub. Tempo looks great, but does it have Chromecast and Android Auto clients? Those are both necessities for me.
The fact that DSub has all of these and hasn’t really been in active development for years speaks volumes about its quality.
I will keep a close eye on Tempo, though!
+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.
Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet
