There’s always nushell. It’s fairly new, not quite to 1.0 yet (0.96.1 at time of writing), but the constant breaking changes seemed to have stopped. It hits all your points and it’s quite fun to use when writing scripts. Bonus that it’s also pretty much tailor-made to manipulate data.

I got a text from my sister that I NEED to try it and that it’s better than Stardew, so from her she highly recommends it! I might give it a whirl later once I have more time

Good. The dev world is still stained with a lot of libertarian bros who only think of themselves and try to hide behind “just focus on the code!”, thinking it’ll excuse right-wing behavior

It would probably work, but the accounts we shared before were Hulu and Disney+, none of which were “my” original accounts. So having to go through the hassle of showing family members VPNs and setting them up wouldn’t be worth it compared to just pirating.

The biggest loss to cutting streaming services is mostly discovery of finding some random show/film to watch. If you’re going to torrent something, you have to know what you want first. It doesn’t bother me much, but it’s kind of a bummer when you want to just put something on.

I recently upgraded my home “streaming” setup from an aging RPi3 connected running OSMC off of an NFS share drive from my local server to running Jellyfin directly from the server and connecting to it via the Jellyfin app on my Roku stick

With the crackdown on password sharing, the family accounts are dwindling so the pirating has increased again. Keeping Netflix for now and Shudder as I’m a horror fan, but otherwise everything else is 🏴‍☠️

Apple.

I uses to be a huge Apple fan pre-2010. Everything worked, was smooth, wasn’t Windows, and it was fun trying out the terminal despite it being pretty useless for most things on Mac.

At the new decade is when it felt like Apple was becoming what it is today: a walled garden with priority of mobile devices at the detriment of Macintosh. Started to really look at Linux as an alternative (only tried Ubuntu in a VM around the time of Unity coming out) early 2010s, but didn’t make the full leap until around 2013 when I installed Linux Mint and got a Raspberry Pi to begin to mess around with. Now I solely run a mix of Debian and Void on all my machines and I couldn’t be happier.

I’d recommend conduit if you’re self-hosting, especially on limited resources. Very easy to set-up and fast, and although not on feature-parity with Synapse, it does now have Spaces and threading support which is huge

here’s a list of public searx & SearXNG instances

If anyone has good experiences with any of them, definitely share!
