  • This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

    I’m not sure how it is in London, but there’s a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that’s been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

    Since companies can’t outright say it’s the government, they have to come up with excuses.

    The worst part is I don’t know what’s worse: if I’m wrong or if I’m right :(



  • So I recently terminated my Spotify subscription and moved my library to Jellyfin.

    For my phone client, I use Symfonium. There are other options available (even FOSS options if you prefer), but I liked Symfonium’s UI the best. It also has a rolling offline cache setting that I find very useful. However, it does have a one time fee of 5 USD. But the client is completely up to your preference - no right choice.

    If you care about Last.FM scrobbling, use something like Pano Scrobbler on your phone.

    For desktop streaming, Jellyfin isn’t required. Use which ever media player you like best.

    As for accessing your Jellyfin server outside your home network, Tailscale is an option. It was relatively easy to set up, even for someone who’s dumb with networking.


  • I’d recommend doing a dual boot sooner and slowly shifting your files & apps. It took me about 3 months to find a distro and desktop environment i like, get my apps or alternatives installed, and get used to it.

    If you wait until EOL, you may be overwhelmed and frustrated, increasing the likelihood of calling quits and accepting Windows 11.
