music. #running. "computer-stuff". self-hoster.
@therealahall @plexamp Yeah! You know I usually have at least _some_ albums or playlists saved offline, but I recently upgraded phones and I always forget I have to reset up Plexamp. 🤦🏻‍♂️
I don’t need *convenience* at the cost of usability. What I need, is just reliability. (3/3)

95% of the time my local media servers are rock-solid, but that 5% of the time where I am just trying to play something and even if it works and just has to buffer a few seconds, it’s increasingly frustrating.

I just want my music, offline. I realized I don’t need access to the entire world’s catalog of music several years ago, and I realize even now I don’t even need access to *my* entire library at all times. (2/3)

Heading out for a run yesterday and went to queue up music from my plex server and just met with a loading spinner. Tried the backup Navidrome server, same thing. Instead of just going out for my run, I went upstairs and spent 10 minutes troubleshooting the server to get it back online.

I moved away from streaming services 4 or 5 years ago now, but even still, I really just hate *streaming* in general, I am starting to realize more and more. (1/3)

Side A, by All Get Out

8 track album

All Get Out
Chicago is two and a half million people. Expand out to the larger metro area and you’re talking about 10 million people. I like our odds.
lots of developers showing off their iOS 26 redesigns today and man... they all look so bad. I feel bad for the developers who felt they had to get this out on day 1.
surprise #Goose album?!
I've been slowly learning, building, learning, rebuilding a couple apps for personal use (music player, podcast player, etc. etc. ) for macOS and iOS. the discourse around LiquidGlass and the box it forces developers into in regards to UI has me constantly rethinking if native apple apps is really where I should focus my efforts, or maybe web apps where I'd have much more freedom with the UI
Self-hosting everything sounds great until you f*ck up a docker migration and have to rebuild your mastodon server from corrupted database files.
