I started my media server in 2020 with an e-wasted i7 3770 dell tower I snagged out of the ewaste pile. Ran jellyfin, audiobookbay, navidrome, calibre-web and an arr stack with about a dozen users like a champ. Old hardware rules if you don't use windows
Very cool looks like a cli version of foobar (in the best way). I tried so many players looking for something that works for me I always wished I could just build my own. I'm currently using navidrome for streaming so I might give yours a go at some point in the future.
I'm a big music lover. My preferred way of listening to music in an album played on a properly setup two channel system. When I had the means I had a great stereo setup and loved putting on a record or selecting something from my own digital music collection.
The majority of the time I listen to albums vs individual tracks or playlists. A good album front to back just does it for me. I'm fairly specific about what I listen to, I usually know exactly what I'm in the mood to hear. I've got albums I like to as background noise but for the most part I like to listen to music as it's own activity. I've got favorite albums but that's a rotating list thats incredibly inconsistent and changes daily.
I love talking music with people who love music. Even if it's not music I normally listen to I love picking apart songs and talking what about you like/dislike about it. I've got some friends that are my main music buddies and we are constantly sharing new music we come across.
A pizza chain back home had a pastrami pizza that was a classic red sauce pie with pastrami, pickles and a mustard drizzle. Damn I miss what-a-lotta pizza. I think about it every time I see cartoon pizza
I'm gonna start a startup called startup starter and my business plan will be selling business plans to startups that are flashy enough to attract VC money so you can siphon off as much as possible before the business folds.
I'm gonna hug my old ThinkPad when I get home today
