I started using Lidarr. I have had a bit of a hard time with it not being able to just grab a song.

I think this is more in how I have my expectations and workflow set up. It works great for what it’s built for, I need to spend some time to adjust.

I use it with the Deemix plugin and that is great.

My use case is that I grab house hunters for background tv. Do I need that at high quality? No definitely not. For most shows I’m at 1080p, then for shows/movies I really like I’ll grab higher quality.

They won’t use it until they are forced to 100%. iMessage has become a reason people get iphones. Peer pressure at its finest.

You should also put your efforts towards getting apple on RCS. Then you wouldn’t need to have multiple apps.

Do you have any old hardware that doesn’t have a job? That is a great place to start. Take some time try out different solutions (proxmox, unraid, casa OS). Then as you nail down your needs you can better pick hardware.

Could you link the source? Sounds like an interesting read.

I saw the grass was greener on the other side. I can’t say it is or isn’t. Just different problems.

What I have done is follow my interest and curiosity. It has served me well in the technology industry

So ridiculous that teachers can be fired, for something the district can’t even define. Would love to see malicious compliance for this going towards “traditional” values.
