Yeah it's really enjoyable to be able to take old, stale dependencies, and simply make them into something great, typesafe, ESM, well tested etc, without having to change the whole codebase.

I do enjoy the fact that if software annoys you, it’s easy as hell to simply generate a better version.

Everyone should own their entire chain to the wider internet, and everyone should have access to a chain that is horrifically hard or expensive to detect by governments (VLESS/Hysteria2/etc), and not be financially dependent on a provider in order to do it.
If they want to fuck with us, it's time to start fucking back.

It’s scary that people haven’t been able to move uphill though.

It is bizarre to me that servers are considered something to be “lost” in this day and age. They should as borderline ephemeral as us.

I'd be able to work for a lot less if I owned my home and food was cheap.
Honestly, rising house prices have fucked everything up.

Oh god, the jolts. They are horrible. They seem to get worse with screens and fluorescent office lights. The only thing that helps is going for a walk and necking some alcohol, which in turn, wrecks the sleep needed to actually fix them.
It's almost like having some sort of momentary seizure.

AI. CEOs. Now.

Perhaps it's a testament to the fact that life used to be full of things that made it a little nicer that have been ripped out in the name of efficiency and profit.
Look at how beautiful old buildings were. However, now everything is a box, because it is more efficient.

If we're plugging stuff, here's my little ecosystem I've been working on for about 8 months. It replaces (but is fully compatible with) navidrome/subsonic, iOS client, macOS client, tvOS client (with modern QR/code based login flow), WebUI, and soon, Android clients. Also supports local libraries.
Has neat stuff like remote-controlling other clients (zero conf/mdns/server relayed), modern user management (invite links, app passwords, api keys), the apps are pretty, low-resource, and consistent. Normal stuff like gapless, bit-perfect, share links, file-watching that is solid, etc.
Other killer feature is DSP/EQing that supports stuff like importing (or building) squig presets (great for IEM users), UPnP devices (from desktop, and supports DSP for room corrections etc). Should be a tad more lightweight than navidrome (though I do love navidrome <3).

It's ok, they can use AI.
