I have played a fair bit over the past few days via Steam proton on Mint 22 without any issues.

Believe it or not these were made using a brad point bit. Others have mentioned the low budget quality + it becoming dull and I imagine that's a big cause. Thanks for the fisch recommendation, I have been looking and don't really know good brands for bits, so that's really helpful!

I hadn't considered the quality of the bits, but that's a fair point. These are from sets that are probably $25 max, I'll be sure to grab some higher quality ones, I didn't realise that would have such an impact on something like drilling holes. Thank you.

I failed to clarify properly, but these are actually not through holes too. The router sounds like a good idea - these blocks are about 10cm x 10cm though, would you still be able to do it with your jig without the router tipping?

Woops! I've fixed the title now. I'll give this a try, thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't clarify this in the original post - the holes do not go all the way through as they are for putting metal crochet rods in.

I think countersinking might cause issues. This is for a crochet board that a friend requested. The pins that sit inside might wobble a bit too much. I didn't realise faster speed would be better, I imagined it would be rougher, thanks for that!

If you're on linux you can use id3tool

I did this a while ago for incorrect tags on my Plex and it worked well.

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lunar/en/man1/id3tool.1.html

If I understand correctly you would just need to put all of the files you want into one folder, navigate to the folder in your command line and then run id3tool -G Jazz *.mp3.

It operates off a list of predetermined genres which you can identify by running id3tool -l

Furthermore the *.mp3 will apply it to only mp3 files, if you have other formats and would like to capture all files simply remove make it just * instead.

Sorry I can't be more specific as I can't fully remember, but I thought I'd comment in case it helps.

For downloading a bunch of music, especially more obscure stuff, soulseek might be worth a try - if you search a genre you like you can then explore the libraries of the posters - some are very extensive. Just make sure you follow whatever guidelines they set out on their profile before you download a bunch of stuff, definitely make sure you're sharing some music yourself on the platform and that your listening port is set up otherwise you might get blocked.

So what I have been doing on pen and paper (that I want to turn digital) is noting what I have done morning, afternoon and evening and my mood at each time out of 10. It's not super complicated I guess. Although I don't use it for the same purpose, I think the technique is called behavioural activation.

The reason an an app called daylio (not OSS) was recommended to me is because it also scheduled push notifications to submit entries at those times. With just a calendar event, I will get distracted and end up neglecting it, because even though the steps are simple, tapping to fill it in right away increases the chance instead of navigating.

Other than that key aspect yeah I'd say some kind of spreadsheet/CSV format could work well.
