It seems to be quite a lot for the server it’s hosted on though (which is not the snappiest). There are, of course, still areas in the world where - for one reason or another - people still are effectively on dial-up speed-wise.

Anything from https://lemmon.website is me too.

Buster should turn their attention to the size of the images uploaded to servers like this: 1.1M is arguably overkill for this one.
It probably is. I’d tried Mastodon but found myself not going back. Phanpy re-invigorated my interest in it.
He’s mostly known for the ‘Culture’ series of novels. His writing was a reaction to how dystopian sci-fi had become, and so the Culture depicts a Utopian society with no money, no work, super-intelligent machines and a human lifespan of about 400 years. The stories mostly come about from their meddling with other civilizations. They can be read in any order - the nerdiest one is Excession, which I like a lot. He wrote non-culture sci-fi too (of which I’d recommend The Algebraist, nommed for a Hugo in 2005).
The City & The City (China Mieville) is a book I remember being captivated by. Not sure what happened to my copy (think I must’ve donated it during some purge or other), but - yeah - it’s something I want to read again at some point.
My favourite SF author is Iain M Banks, which I was surprised to not see on your list. I think my favourite book is another bit of Scottish Sci-fi: Learning the World, by Ken MacLeod.
Not much for beets. My config.yaml is just:
library: ~/.config/beets/musiclibrary2.db
import:
move: yes
terminal_encoding: utf8
plugins: fetchart embedart
(so fetchart and embedart are the only plugins)
(from then on, a Navidrome server hosts the music, and I tend to use a Windows app called ‘Feishin’ to play it)
I think virtualizing the python environment (with
venv
) has become quite common, although my only evidence is that the server I’m using to send this was written in Python and uses one.
