As if it wasn’t bad enough to ask if I want to use the default mobile app every time I go to a Reddit page on my mobile web browser. 😕

Oh that’s cool! Self-hosting is something I’m curious about.

Yeah your dad definitely went through a lot of work for that DVD collection! 📀

There’s something really special about that though. A labor of love I guess.

Something else too is that formats are always evolving. I feel like it would hurt a little to build a big DVD collection and then have Blu-ray and 4k come out. 🫤Of course I guess resolution-wise there’s only so far we can go before it doesn’t matter too much.

I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.

Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.

I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?

Tell me your thoughts!

I’ve never heard of that. I’ll take a look!

Yeah my plan is to use Ember for front-end stuff and have an API server using something else for when I need a good backend.

I’ve used mint before! I was a big fan of mint’s look and feel, but it’s been a while. I also liked that it was Debian-based but a little easier to get into than other distros.

I’ve never tried Manjaro, but I’ve heard good things. That’s Arch right?

I am absolutely dying to get out to the beach this summer. 🏝️

Luckily, we have a trip planned for July.

Sorry to hear about the work-related troubles. I hope things get better!

On another note: trying out Linux distros is a joy that I know well! I hope it brings you a tremendous amount as well.

So far so good for me! Got some work lined up this week and I’m hoping to learn some more of a web framework that I’ve been trying to get used to. ☺️
