New Beets
In case you have not heard, Spotify sucks. A lot. Here's a summary of my post-Spotify exploration of music. I'm still trying to decide how I want to consume music in the future, but what I'm currently thinking about is: Apple Music for 'all you can eat' music streaming and music discovery Accompanied by Plex music…

Backing up iCloud Photos in the command line
I have been on a roll of late with my data liberation project. The last piece in my photo liberation project was to figure out a way to take out all of the data from iCloud.

Is the Self-Hosted Blog Dead?
Fuck Medium. Seriously. I have had enough of their terrible user interface, narrow writing experience, and the empty platitudes of ‘recs' and comments from people looking to improve their lives by reading inspiring content from people they don't care about.
