I’m about 40 hours into Trails To Azure and it’s been a blast going through The Legend Of Heroes and the Trails series in order.

I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.

• Beelink Mini S.
• 2 external 5TB drives.
• A USB fan used as an exhaust because the SSD inside gets a bit warm.

I think total power is about 30W.

I use Deezer’s family plan that includes FLAC/HiFi for $15.99/month.

Are you saying Deemix only downloads at 128kbps? If so, I’ve been using it as well and download in FLAC. Also, I pay for the family plan which is $15.99/month.

Edit: Ah, I’m guessing you’re not on a paid Deezer plan.

Thank you, friend. You’ve convinced me to restart my phone.

Good call. For the commenter above: https://archive.ph/nVy4s

Whenever I hit paywalled articles, I have Gemini summarize it for me. Here’s what I got:

This is an article about a flaw in a password manager. It discusses a man named Michael who lost access to his bitcoin wallet. The password manager he used generated a weak password. Researchers were able to crack the password because of this weakness. They used the date and time the password was created to guess it. Michael was able to recover his bitcoin wallet.

Ouch!! That is brutal. Do you see a lot of EVs on the road there?

Where in California are you? Here in SoCal with SCE their PRIME Time Of Use plan is $0.26/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Totally works for my family since we work from home and drive EVs locally. We also have a 2019 Prius which gets us about 50-55 MPG and 500+ miles on a full tank for longer drives.

Edit: I should add that the standard Time Of Use plan is $0.38/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Peak hour usage from 4PM - 9PM is somewhere between $0.53 - $0.62/kWh I think.

We mainly charge our car overnight and it works out well for us.

I think the point though is you might be able to connect a Garmin to your iPhone but only Apple Watches get special access to certain APIs because “security”.

I loved being able to open up Assistant to quickly summarize an article for me, but Gemini requires me to also attach the URL to its context and then type/say “Summarize” and then hit the submit button only to wait longer for the summary.

The only pro I can think about is that I can continue to ask for details about or related to the article.

I’m using it at work as well and Copilot has been pretty decent with writing out entire methods when I start with the jsdoc or code comments before writing the actual method. It’s now becoming my habit to have it generate some near-working code or decent boilerplate.

If you haven’t tried it yet, give this a shot!

I think you do need an account (which could be trials) because you have to use an ARL or your credentials to login to Deemix with.

I personally pay for a Deezer family plan and just use offline play mainly for my car.

From what I remember MP3DownloadNet uses the Deezer API to download MP3s and FLAC. I used to collect music with this site before it all the ads but it seems like it’s still working.

What quality are you getting from downloading from Spotify?

Personally, I use Deezer + Deemix to download FLAC for offline play and it’s great!

For me, I subscribe to Deezer (or you can do a trial) and run Deemix which is able to download the music in MP3 or FLAC. It directly downloads the music using Deezer’s API.

As far as organizing it goes, I typically just host it with Plex or a Subsonic player like Navidrome.

For downloading music in bulk, I personally subscribe to Deezer and then run Deemix in Docker which allows me to download offline audio in FLAC. I then serve those FLAC using Plex and Navidrome.

This is what I ended up doing last year and it’s been great.

My wife used to complain about my green bubbles until I reminded her that I didn’t choose that color for her. Apple did.

I really want to purchase an Ioniq 5 but still feel there are no good deals (and I’m not interested in jumping through hoops for the $7,500 lease bonus cash). I see tons of inventory at my local dealership but they won’t budge on the price.
