I actually can't wait. And 3/22/24 is waaay sooner than I had expected.

Recently I've taken to self hosting. It started with me just wanting a raspberry pi for pi-hole and has developed into a full hobby. Because so many of these services are FOSS and can run on a toaster it's helped me immensely with avoiding commercial fatigue. I also find that the communities for the hobby are insightful and, because the solutions are free, they aren't selling you on a product. They're just passionate about the service, distro, or setup that they use.

I've also learned a ton of applicable skills for adult life, so happy side-effects.

Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It's like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)

I think that it does as of gnome 43+. Oddly enough Pop_OS ships with gnome 42.5. Which seems to have been the issue.

pavucontrol does seem to work well. Just need to choose an easier way to switch now. Thank you kindly.

Ohh what a neat solution, thank you!

Hah, what a novel name, thank you.

Honestly, the Reddit migration. I switched to Lemmy about 6 months ago. A few of the largest communities at that time were Self Hosting and Privacy related. Those naturally lead me to looking into Linux. From there I started minor self hosting on a Pi. Then, after a rather long walk through the Yongsan Electronics Market in Korea I built my own Homelab, and last week, I moved my primary desktop to Pop_OS. Honestly, It's been a blast. A few learning curves, but the ability to have near complete control over my setup, and the increased self reliance has been delightful.

This is it for me. In particular as my hobbies shifted to self hosting, linux, and my own privacy, I find that lemmy is an incredible source of info and insight. But I'm not really here to meet or follow individuals as much as I am things that interest me.

Of course its innovative, imagine the room this clears up for more ads.

I had been using Ghostery Dawn for ages. Got the pop-ups. Couldn't get around them. Switched to just firefox with ublock, no more ads. Can confirm it does work.

Ohhh I may have to look into unraid then. Didn't realize there was a one time deal. Thanks for the tips.
