    Gjones was the first artist that came to my mind. The Ineffable Truth is an incredible album where listening with a decent set of speakers makes a huge difference

    I've been using kagi for 10ish months and think its worth the price($10/mo). I have found it to be better than google and frankly just less frustrating. No ads/suggestions or any extra junk, just results.

    That said, i still use google maps for the times I need to get business's info since its most likely to be correct.

    I've been using Kagi for ~1.5y now, and it's been great. Search results are far better than any other search engine I've used.

    I'm grandfathered into the legacy plan (unlimited search for $10/mo), but the current "professional" plan (1,000 searches for $10/mo) would be sufficient to cover every month I've used kagi.

    Curious as to what your reasoning is to build this out vs using plexamp - regardless I'd be interested in trying it out if you build it out!

    Tmobile changed their algorithm/auto-blocking for shortlinks last week (presumably in an attempt to combat spam), and is likely blocking tildes shortlinks. This is carrier specific - most, if not all of the big telco companies block the common url shorteners (ie. bitly), but Tmobile has gotten more aggressive recently

    I have these as well and the sound quality is really fantastic - they're pricey but better than any other "premium" wireless earbuds that I've tried in the $200-$300 price range
