I have been nerding out with navidrome this week and working on music consolidation as I have digital music from my own stash but also music on Amazon and iTunes that I needed to cleanup and import. Then I went out and dug out my my old CD collection and noticed that I never ripped about half of it.

My brother and I combined forces and now I'm rockin' a 185GB @navidrome music library. This is fun! I'm really liking the https://www.psysonic.de client.

Shiny Frog worked on an editor called Panda that never materialized. Now they just released the beta of Lettera, a single-file markdown editor. Finally, iA Writer has competition.

Google published the Open Knowledge Format -- a structured hierarchy system for project documentation. The aim is to be usable by both humans and machines.

I learned that Bunny CDN can send logs from each of its edge nodes back to your own server via syslog. So I set up @goaccess for a live readout. This all took about 20 minutes with a clanker.

Garage – a self-hosted S3-compatible object store. Ships as a single binary implementing only core S3 APIs, yet clusters seamlessly across disparate hardware.

so apparently you can use a Mistral API key in a coding agent, such as Pi, and have it use your monthly subscription but it is tricky to find.

Hmmm, KeePassium does not yet have browser extensions. That's a downer. Otherwise it would have been a clear choice to upgrade from Strongbox.

Federated forges are the future. The big hubs are too big of targets.

It's so easy to switch a project from one language or framework to another these days.

I'm planning out a NAS for my homelab and am reading about Unraid vs TrueNAS. I'm comfortable setting up headless Linux computers without any GUI, so I don't really see the appeal of Unraid, except that it's capable of working with unmatched drives.

I'm really impressed with ActualBudget - it's very fast. I'm using the desktop app without a server so that is to be expected I guess, but wow!

I decided to take a look at ActualBudget today to plan my migration from YNAB and the process was so easy and straightforward that I was done in less than an hour.

I'm toying on porting my site from Astro to 11ty because I am a perfectionist and a micro-manager when it comes to generated HTML. I had my robot (ChatGPT 5.5) perform the port in under 10 minutes. I think AI is great for overcoming the initial inertia. Now I can tinker with the code for the next several days and tidy up all the loose ends.
