@micahbp In your creative work, have you come across any good free/low-cost sources for music beds? (Working on some radio spots for a non-profit with no budget)

@gael Giving /e/ a test run on an old phone. The cloud storage looks like its based on Nextcloud...any chance you'll add Libre Office Online in Nextcloud as a Google Docs alternative?

@dallin We looked into this for my mom. Walmart offers it as a service, but pricing was crazy for the number of tapes she had. She didn't trust LegacyBox (lost in mail fears, although I'm sure Walmart mails them out too). Ended up buying her a home VHS-->DVD recorder. But now all those DVDs need to be ripped. There's definitely demand among the right demographics!

Flashed on an old Nexus 5X tonight. Open-source Android without anything Google. Feels so peaceful.

@christitus Ever consider doing a video about note taking apps on Linux? I've tried doing some research and am so confused...it's like the wild west of office applications.

@dallin "Degree of dependence" is a great point that I've also learned in this journey. My original goal was to totally drop Google. I've come to accept the fact that that's not very realistic (at this point in time). However, I can certainly lessen my dependence on Google...which I'm doing one step at a time.

In today's episode of , I successfully migrated my email from to . This is a test run -- not 100% ready to commit. However, the nice part about owning my own domain is that I can redirect my email address to any provider I want and not have to change addresses. fastmail.com

To celebrate the fact that #1989 remains one of my favorite years in music, I made this playlist (with a little help from the Billboard chart archives). Hard to believe that these gems are turning 30 this year! tidal.com/browse/playlist/4e71
