Pretty much how I feel about it too. It’s not like I invented anything here, I mostly copied it from others or the docs. I will share snippets with people if it helps them but I’m not publishing everything either. Might need to look into yadm at some point.
I feel like withings cornered the market on hybrids. They are a little pricey but they are built very well.
Only when I’m doing MS shit for work. Otherwise I find it kind of a pain. I get that some of it’s ideas are nice, but functionally it doesn’t actually do anything for me on unixy systems that bash doesn’t so I don’t. I’m not going to install it on all my servers so using it for scripting doesn’t make sense and I do more Linux admin than MS.
Be the change you wish to see in the world, I guess. But I don’t see a commercial product like that taking off, simply because the MPAA and RIAA will fight it. They will use the media to convince the public that it is a piracy tool. I also don’t think it’s fair to demand FOSS volunteers to cater to tech illiterates. These projects are a labor of love, not a product. Self hosting means you are taking the responsibility of hosting something, and that comes with pros and cons. I think expecting a black box solution to remain stable and secure in the long run is a hard sell for me, it doesn’t line up with my personal and professional experience.
That’s kinda the opposite of what I have found, once I get something to work it usually just works. Although I’m in IT so I’m pretty used to keeping ‘in production’ servers going. It absolutely is more work, because you aren’t paying somebody else to do it, so you really need to decide if that’s worth it to you. For many people the trade off in control and privacy aren’t worth the extra work and paying somebody else to use their computers instead is far more convenient.
I use Qobuz and I like it.
My problem is I just don’t really like wearing watches. I want to, I like watches and I like having the time on me without getting distracted by my phone. But I just can’t find a comfortable band, I don’t like tight shirt cuffs either.
