it has loads of features that would require extensions or plugins in bash, like autocomplete, abbreviations, or fancy prompts, except they all work out of the box and with minimal configuration and behave intuitively

you should probably use a VPN if you’re uploading because it’s trivial for law enforcement to track - there’s no Onion routing or anything like that, and anyone can register and search

yep came here to say NixOS - once I was used to it, the advantages for programming are immense. I commit my shell.nix to Git and use Lorri to automagically install the right environment tools and it feels magical being able to work on multiple machines and never encounter dependency oddness

For the unaware, Navidrome is a very slick and fast Subsonic-compatible music streaming server, which works excellently with large libraries. I’ve tried a bunch of options for streaming my music files over my local network and Navidrome has been by far the nicest.
