Nothing But Trouble, so they don't come back

Bottom of the ocean. Better yet, recycling plant.

I mention the space industry because there's a lot of overlap between that and the defense industrial complex in engineering terms. NRO had a couple hubble-sized telescopes laying around they built and didn't use. USAF has their own space shuttle. They're currently planning to update all of our ICBMs. They could move other payloads to orbit. We don't even need ICBMs, with submarine-launched missiles, even the new ones will be obsolete bulls-eyes for nukes in the midwest.

That's my point.

I've been riding one pretty hard for my job for half a decade. It's pretty nice actually, I like the 2-axis touch scrolling. I wish it had a middle click, it's way too expensive, and last time I tried to get it working with Linux it was a fucking nightmare.

Doesn't abrade cable like zip ties, can reuse unlike most zip ties. Especially with fatter coils like outdoor extension cord or air compressor hose, it makes sense to have a length of paracord on the end to keep it neat and hang it. Plus you can use the paracord sleeve as a jacket for smaller cables. The real star of cable management are hook and loop wraps tbh.

http://www.reddit.com/r/musichoarder is a community of folks who are interested in that problem of organizing large amounts of music.

As for me, I'll download like 80 gigs of music, mostly playlists off qobuz, then match it all with albums and tag it using musicbrainz picard, then dedupe it against my collection with dupeguru, then normalize the volume using rsgain. I use Logitech Meda Server to play them. I rate songs with a star rating, with the RatingsLight LMS plugin. I listen to all my unrated songs on shuffle, rate them and put them in playlists. I'll listen to playlists based on mood, genre, country, or star rating. I have various bash scripts to process playlists.

It's really manual. If i wanted to, I could throw everything in the same playlist when i download a big tranche of music of the same type. Another neat tool is soundiiz, which enables one to move playlists between spotify, qobuz, deezer, and m3us. So you could export a playlist out of spotify, import it to qobuz, run qobuz-dl against it, and add all your new flacs to your local copy of the playlist. Soundiiz is the only thing i had to pay for, $4.

My music server's on a pcie ssd so operations don't take too long. I have a backup on a NAS and I mailed a second backup to a friend. Between me and my girlfriend we have 2tb of music.

I name files ~/Music/MyMusic/artist/album/track number - track title.flac I have playlists at the root directory with relative paths, so it's intact copying to a Digital audio player. I convert everything to Opus to fit a copy on my phone.

Getting rid of fascists works actually. The reasonable thing to do is try to educate those who will listen, deplatform those who will not, and imprison or exile those who try to act on their politics. The few who are left over won't be able to build up enough of a movement to do anything. They're just terrorists who want to fuck it up for everyone and institute totalitarian corporatist society, if we tolerate their right to frozen peaches, everything goes to shit.

Other than that I agree wholeheartedly with your main point. Everyone but fascists deserves a place in society, a home, a job, education, and health care. If we crack down on fascists, we can have that.

Similar story to Aptera Motors, they collapsed and reformed in 2019 and they're raising money to put out a solar EV.
