I have a docker image called bandcampsync which can pull down my fully legal purchases from my account and nothing else. I like this because it is automated and I can script out some post-processing of the download to my library folders to have them imported and sorted or positioned for manual sorting.
separately, if you have navidrome, I also recommend the android app https://symfonium.app/ as a listening app

I have the premium membership with the credit card and I've made 600 dollars this year with it. I do use it as my primary card and I'm not a business owner but I've yet to "pay" for my membership since I got it. They'll also refund the difference if you don't earn enough money thru the card too, but I was on my way to making enough even without the credit card or at least make it quite cheaper the the standard (without the refunded difference). Costco is my primary store.
Overall with an hour drive like that yeah sounds like Costco doesn't do it for you. For me, it's a 10 minute drive.

freedomischaos Link ParentAs a recent note, if you have the "premium" membership, there is now a starting hour at 9AM TO 10AM that is that tier only. It's just as glorious for any quick in-out shopping missions.As a recent note, if you have the "premium" membership, there is now a starting hour at 9AM TO 10AM that is that tier only.

Midnight Mass - a vampire (an unknown concept in this world) moves to a small island community (200 people) as the new priest.
Mr. Inbetween - Australian hitman with a great knack for just disappearing people has to balance his normal life - his kid, his disabled brother, and his childhood traumas. Fantastic though dark drama.

EndeavourOS (based on Arch btw) + KDE, mostly because I want Arch and I've used it from scratch before, but I like the easy installers as I've gotten older and this one seems like it's much better than Manjaro as that broke after running it for years due to docker stuffs and could never quite figure out what the problem was other than some kernel issue. EndeavourOS hasn't had that same problem yet.
