I play the game with SiriusXM to only pay the intro price and listen to that 90% of the time I am in the car. XM has a weird collection of DJs, some are obnoxious or grating, but also after many years of listening to them they feel like people I know.
The local NPR backed station the Current is good but their audio quality is terrible, even their HD stream is muffled and wonky. They also eliminated many of the DJs I had grown to like and I never got that same connection with their replacement, which definitely impacted how I listen.
Once my visiting family departs I am going to finish building the Little Free Library I started last month. We have lived in our current home for 5 years and it is about time I share my love of reading with my neighbors.

We watched the Australian Episode of Everybody Feed Phil, and Mel Brooks made an appearance. He seemed a bit old but when I looked him up on Wikipedia I was shocked to learn he was 99. Still working, still funny, what a life.
This looks nice. Ran through a 5 question Go scenario and got 4/5 right. Which feels about right with my current depth of knowledge.
One of the very first pieces of code I wrote when I was figuring out if I liked development was a flashcard program to help me study in college. I really wish I still had that code.
I built my own version of Kill the Newsletter. Been testing it with various newsletters. Learning that a lot of the popular email newsletters are horrific, but if you have any, popular or ones only two people read that you like, I want to know!
I also bought some steel table legs and rebuilt our kitchen table and bench yesterday. The table came with wooden legs that always seemed unstable, I would confidently stand on my table now.
how are you solving the problem that a number of newsletter owners purge emails which are not opening/reading the emails? are you sending a signal that the email was read?
Haven't encountered that yet, but probably something I will need to solve. I started with just a few newsletters I already subscribed to with Kill the Newsletter that never had that problem, I need to research what the various sending frameworks do to track opens these days.
It seems fairly obvious that the "identity" portion of this is more important than the actual cost of providing the storage. Though maybe more folks than I imagine can hit the 5GB limit quickly. I have emails dating back to 2008 and just calculated I am only using 8.5GB. I keep everything so getting down to 5GB would be a hassle more than a challenge.
I would argue that Google really wants to earn your storage dollars. Their constant notifications on my device warning me I was low on space is what drove me to Immich.
The fact that this also shuts off access to many public library Ebooks on these devices should be getting more press. My wife exclusively uses her Kindle for library books and it looks like it will be impossible to get legally acquired library books onto her device from our library system, which is using libby/overrdrive.
Track it! Any Spreadsheet. Columns: date, where you filled up, how many gallons, dollar total, odometer reading, mpg function ((currentodo - prevodo) /gallons), ppg function (total / gallons).
You could also install something like https://lubelogger.com/ (naming decision aside), if you happen to do any self-hosting. It is a lightweight vehicle tracker. It has a fuel tracking screen. I personally only use it to track maintenance, but have been thinking about starting to track fuel consumption given the current disruption.
