Too late. He died today.

Aches and pains. New medications they’re on. How things were so much easier when they were younger.

The same conversation that happens everywhere when the people have been around for a while.

This is a good compromise. When I was tight on backup space, I just had a “backup” script that ran nightly and wrote all the media file names to a text file and pushed that to my backup.

It would mean tons of redownloading if my storage array failed, but it was preferable to spending hundreds of dollars I didn’t have on new hardware.

Holy shit, this has every cert I’ve ever generated or renewed since 2015.

How many tons of food are shoplifted from the average grocery store? How many tons go into the dumpster because they were deemed not sellable, even though plenty of people would happily take it at a discount?

Share your memories, receive a studio-quality custom song with vocals in minutes.

This is the high level pitch and is exactly why this product misses the point.

Creating a song or art or playlist for someone requires time. It’s the personal effort that makes it valuable. Spending a minute filling out a form before an algorithm generates a song is neither thoughtful, personal, nor meaningful.

A hand written card is better than a typed letter is better than an email is better than an emoji. GiftSong is the emoji.

If someone sent me this I would be insulted and wouldn’t even listen to the end once. I would never spent my money or time trying to be a user of something like this.

What if you use speech to text?

Holy shit did I come across a fresh Homestar Runner reference in 2026?!?!?!

I think the author literally released it like 2 days ago which is why there’s no issues or prs yet.

I installed it yesterday and have only fiddled around a little bit. I like that it pointed out a bunch of health issues with my Lidarr library and have been stuck on a side quest dealing with those.

If you want to explore it and see if anything seems malicious to you, I’d focus on code making requests, and review the sub-dependencies to see if any look sus. It should live entirely in your network and shouldn’t be making any external requests outside your server apart from the connections you set up (like last.fm).

I mean they gave it to me a few years ago and I sure didn’t deserve it.
