    probably The Real Will Wood, by, believe it or not, Will Wood; the way the songs are kinda remade compared to their album version is great and imo some of them are better than the originals

    Another one is the really "cinematic" ASMR, which I don't really know how to describe other than incredibly high-effort sets which are kinda like the above, but more in a movie way. I think the best example that comes to mind is like everything Made In France ASMR

    There are only a few things I host that we commonly use:

    • Caddy, while not technically something we use persay, is very useful as a reverse proxy for a bunch of things that also does a few other things as well, and I'd have probably gone insane trying to write an nginx config file without it
    • Forgejo as a Git forge (although I don't use it for projects I'd want others to see and contribute to, natural discoverability is a big problem with self-hosting Git)
    • Akkoma for accessing the Fediverse (ie Mastodon), best microblogging-focused fedi software imo
    • Maddy (link is to the Github repo since their website is down) for hosting SMTP/IMAP email stuff. Definitely one of the easier solutions, imo
    • Alps Webmail is a very simple to host and use email frontend, and also is easier to use than a local email client for us most of the time
    • Syncthing is super useful for syncing ie an Obsidian vault between devices so it can be written to everywhere

    Now, while it isn't something that I actually selfhost, Tailscale is something I'd heavily recommend to anyone who isn't using it. Just a very, very convenient mesh VPN for ie SSHing into a server from our phone, from any network, and quickfixing + restarting something that's broken.

    I almost thought originally that this was a fake coup to get out of Ukraine, a la what The Onion joked about in U.S Government Stages Fake Coup To Wipe Out National Debt (except for real because this is Russia) lol
    This does feel off to me considering the whole "Putin calling him a betraying traitor" part, and it makes everyone involved look worse for it, so like... very weird to me if it was faked considering their current situation, and if it's not faked, why is Prigozhin still alive? Odd all around imo
