With larger artists who don't have a bandcamp (T_T) I usually am just buying their CD and ripping it with Whipper. Hope this helps!
Editing with my reply elsewhere in the thread, but Libro.fm has provided me with some DRM free audiobooks. You can sync purchases with a local book store i think.

That is awesome though that you play mtg too!! You've got like the perfect setup for what you want with self hosting, you should totally take the leap!! Feel free to PM if you have any questions! (but probably worth mentioning again that I'm no pro, just a hobby I love!)

Currently teaching mostly seventh graders (save me ðŸ˜). That being said though I really like computers (nixOS all the way!!!) so I pretty literate though by all means not a developer! :)

I am going to try and learn so much this year!

eggy LinkI might just be not good at this, but typing c in the console log does nothing (on firefox), it just wants to correct to cache, and if I try 'c' it returns "c". Would love to see how this works!I might just be not good at this, but typing c in the console log does nothing (on firefox), it just wants to correct to cache, and if I try 'c' it returns "c".

I totally agree, and further agree that neal.fun is a much better site for students to be messing around on (i was doing the exact same thing in college so i'd feel a bit hypocritical saying anything otherwise). I wish my admin would ease up on the blocklists and instead push teachers to better manage when students are using their chromebooks. I think i can overwrite the blocklist during my class so maybe I'll see if neal.fun can be unblocked for my class 😸

Framework does make it so I haven't thought about buying a laptop in a really long time (other than a different sized framework model haha), but hey if it's gets the job done it gets the job done! :) -

I know hyprland just updated its trackpad gesture configuration which seems like it'll be really nice at increasing the functionality of it so def check that out. Let me know if you have any other questions!

The biggest downside I have is the battery life is not as nice as something from a Macbook, which I don't know how fair the comparison is. I really enjoy the trackpad, I have a lot of problems with non-apple trackpads, but I can't say I have any of those with Framework's trackpad. The battery life on my framework isn't even that bad, especially with GaN chargers making 100w "cheap".
The ability to switch out the modules (usb stuff, I can't think of the words) is handy, but not very different from having a dongle. I usually just have a set few that I use (usually three usb c, and one usb a, though recently I've switched out a usb c for an hdmi) though having them with me (especially ethernet) has been very useful. While I haven't had to, I do genuinely feel much better knowing if something breaks I can easily replace it.
My use case is very general. I play light games on it, use word processing and similar software (onlyoffice, and libreoffice). I run nixos w hyprland on it and the processor keeps up with everything even when i have upwards of 7 workspaces open (i usually have at least 3 browser windows open, though most tabs get unloaded from ram). The keyboard is nice and fits my use cases.
I really do recommend the framework, especially if you are willing to pay the premium. I've been seriously considering picking up a 12 inch, because sometimes I don't need the full size and specs of my 13 inch, and I like the idea of a touchscreen.
I hope this answered some of your questions, let me know if you want to know anything else!

I obviously ran into the same problem you mentioned, but I was wondering if maybe it could work like you submit your whole turn, and then your opponent can respond point by point and it would send it back. I think that still wouldn't be super fun, and almost require it's own client, but I just really want to play more magic with the little time I have available :(
I am going to check out Codex though that sounds cool

It is one of the if not the greatest game of all time.Not that I support supporting the developers (long story short the people behind the game got cheated out of the rights, support the studio za/um as little as possible).
It is a detective game set in an alternate universe (there are many similarities between our world, and the world of elysium, you should not read too hard into them), where you lost your memory and have to solve a murder case.
The game features almost no violence however, and instead consists almost entirely of talking to other people. The game boasts over 1 million words, and is basically just a book. BUT it is fully voice acted, and masterfully done.
MAM is def the way to start, find some things you can upload, and then from MAM go to OPH, ive been stuck grinding cds (like 15 more to go before i get access to their invite forum!), but from there you have access to so much. As other commenters have said though, paying for usenet may be more worth your while (especially if you wait for something like black friday). In terms of music, books, and general media I have not found it a struggle keeping my ratio up. To be fair though I don't devour content, especially in music I don't download a much and try and just use FL tokens. Happy to send u links to places if you want to dm!
