I set up Navidrome a couple days ago for streaming my music library. I'm still not 100% sold on it, but I need to try a couple different Android apps to see which one works best for me and then maybe I'll be happy with it.

But it got me thinking about how much I'm self-hosting now. It's way more than I once was, so I thought I'd put together a list.

<li><a href="https://nkanaev.github.io/yarr/en/">yarr</a>; for RSS feeds</li>
<li><a href="https://forgejo.org/">Forgejo</a>; for git</li>
<li><a href="https://www.navidrome.org/">Navidrome</a>; for streaming audio</li>
<li><a href="https://jellyfin.org/">Jellyfin</a>; for streaming video</li>
<li><a href="https://wallabag.org/">Wallabag</a>; for "Read It Later"</li>
<li><a href="https://sr.ht/~tsileo/microblog.pub/">microblog.pub</a>; (this site) for Fediverse (although I'll probably replace this sometime next year with a custom GoToSocial fork that I've been thinking about</li>
<li><a href="https://n8n.io/">n8n</a>; for automation</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/crocodilestick/Calibre-Web-Automated">Calibre Web Automated</a> for my ebook library</li>
<li><a href="https://docs.ntfy.sh/">ntfy</a>; for push notifications</li>
<li>A custom webhook server I built mainly for integrating <a href="https://llamalab.com/automate/">Automate</a>; (formerly <a href="https://tasker.joaoapps.com/">Tasker</a>;) on my phone with my computer for random tasks</li>

One thing I **don't** host at home is static websites. There's plenty of services to do that for free that even let me use custom domains, so I'd rather use one of those services so that my resume or blog doesn't go offline just because I lost Internet or electricity at home.

Anything else I should try? What other services do y'all use that I should consider?

She doesn't say the tools *can't* dismantle the house, but that they *won't*.

I think the point is that the master builds. Construction requires mastery, skill, and experience. But any brute can destroy. The master builds, but they don't destroy.

I saw it last night. Took my teenage daughter to see it. Great daddy-daughter date. We were singing the songs together on the way home.

I'm excited to see Act 2 with her when it comes out next year. I dont't think she picked up on some of the hints to character developments, like Elpheba's father's identity, or the Wicked Witch of the East. So, I'm really excited to see how she reacts to these reveals next year.

I'm also interested to see what they do with Nessarose in the film. The actress is actually a wheelchair user, so Elpheba making her able to walk will have to change, and I'm wondering what they'll do with that.

And that's totally understandable. But, even if an automated system has filtered out the resume before reaching the hiring team, that same automated system should be set up to send out an email letting the applicant know that they aren't being considered. I got plenty of those automated emails too. Getting the automated rejection email is still better than getting no contact at all.

I'm now happily employed, but I went through a layoff that took three months before I finally found my current job.

During that time, I sent out 91 job applications. Of those 91, eleven of them sent me an automated response saying they'd received my application, and nothing after that. 22 of them didn't even send that automated response. I didn't keep track of those that I got an initial contact from, but then got ghosted, but there were a few of those as well.

Do better. Have some respect for the people who are spending time applying to the jobs that you posted. I know hiring managers and recruiters are hardworking and have a lot of applications to go through. But, you could at least have the respect to have a form rejection letter to send out when you drop a resume in the rejection stack.

My daughter's phone is managed with Family Link, and we've never had a problem.

When she wants an app, we approve it, and it installs. She has Among Us, in fact.

And she's 14. We decided to extend the control past her turning 13. But, when she turned 13, it gave us the option to convert her account to a standard Google account, in which case, her phone would continue to work the same, but no longer managed by us.

Same as if I'd had a work account managing my phone, and then I removed the work account. It just no longer manages it.

If Star Trek communications worked like real world audio/video communications:

Uhura: Captain, the Klingon vessel is hailing us.

Kirk: Lt. Uhura, have we installed the Klingon video and audio codecs?

Uhura: Yes, captain, but they've updated their protocol since our last hail.

Captain: Mr. Spock, install the software for their new protocol.

Spock: Unfortunately, Captain, the new protocol has not been ported to Federation OS.

Captain: Just fire phasers on the Klingon vessel!

2024-09-21T22:29:06Z

*A bit of Star Trek fan fiction.*

The young Klingon woke up on the ground, before a set of great, iron gates. The gates were large and imposing. Everything beyond the gates seemed to disappear. What could be behind those gates, he couldn't possibly guess. It seemed like it must protect some great building.

He wondered how he got there. But, just as the thought entered his mind, the gates began to open, and a great man walked out and stood before him.

He stood up to face this larger-than-life figure. The man had flowing white hair, and more scars on his face and arms than he'd ever seen. He carried a bat'leth strapped to his side.

The bat'leth was larger than most, and an old-fashioned style. He'd never seen one like that before, except in textbooks. He recognized it: The Sword of Kahless.

"Are you Kahless?"

"Yes, young Warrior, I am."

"Am I dead?"

"Yes, you are." He smiled, with compassion, at the boy.

"I was sick. I've been sick a long time. They couldn't find a cure. Some Federation doctors came and tried to help, but I guess I wasn't strong enough.

"Do I now face Fek'Ihr to be admitted to Gre'thor?"

"Young One, why should you deserve the fate of the Dishonored?" He kneeled before the child, and looked him directly into his eyes. "Why should you spend your afterlife with those who ran from a challenge, or mistreated their kin, or did those things that would bring disgrace upon them and their house?"

The boy was shaken. He trembled slightly before this great man. "Sir, I was no warrior. I committed no deeds of glory. And my parents are dead, so I have no family to commit any great deeds in my name. I spent most of my life in a hospital bed, too sick to do anything that would bring honor to my name. I am not worthy of being with warriors like you."

Kahless placed his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Young Warrior, you have battled, alone, for years on end, against an adversary unseen to all, but felt keenly by you. You have done so bravely, never wavering in your determination. It matters not that you lost the war. You fought it bravely and with great honor."

"So..."

"I am here to welcome you to Sto'Vo'Kor, to spend your next life among those who lived their lives with honor."

"I ... will be honored?"

"I know not how you will be remembered on Qo'noS. But here, you will be celebrated as one of the great warriors of your time.

You will meet others here who were seen as less worthy during their life, but who are still great warriors. Some, like you, fought against disease, or a failing of their own body. Some fought against hatred from their own people because of who they are, or who they loved. Some fought against their own minds.

I fought on battlefields of dirt and rock, armed with my blade. My fights, however, are no less deserving of honor than yours, fought within your own body, armed with nothing but your own spirit."

Kahless stood and reached his hand out to the Warrior. They took hands, and walked through the gates together, in glory.
