    A wheel of brie on a smoker is amazing. It comes out hot, gooey, and every cracker or baguette it touches becomes something that can only be described as heaven.

    I still self-host but proxy out via Amazon SES. Now it is on an AWS account that is sending out mails for another domain (in the thousands) but I think the most I've spent is $0.50 per month on my personal email being routed out.

    I recently had this debate as well (after my boot drive m2 SSD started throwing bad block errors) and settled on https://github.com/cytopia/linux-timemachine. I had to throw an additional switch in there (as its based on rsync) not to cross file systems, but I now have / and /var backed up twice a day to a raid 1 two drive external hard drive. I did a "restore" by restoring that data on a new SSD that I swapped out with the old SSD. So far, so good.

    That all said, very curious to see what other responses you might get!

    I've moved everything over to Cloudflare. They really try to go near 0% margin on domain name renewals and I don't mind utilizing Cloudflare as a first layer of protection.

    I was a Spotify user for more than 10 years but switched over last year to Apple Music when the Joe Rogan anti COVID stuff went down. I’m in the minority but I’m a firm believer in not paying for services that give platforms to people like Joe Rogan.

    Spotify’s UX is better but Apple’s audio quality is better. I do really miss the end of year mashups that Spotify made.
