This is what happens when you think you're smarter than decades of lessons in vehicle safety design. Elon Musk is truly a dumb person's idea of a smart person.

I'm convinced it's worse than that. I think he originally drew this thing when he was six years old and is so impressed with himself that he thought it was pure genius then and now.

It was also at that time that he became obsessed with the letter X because he loved pirates and treasure maps.

If you can find an old Kindle Paperwhite that can be jailbroken, you can run KOReader on it and leave the Amazon ecosystem behind while still using the hardware.

I manage my library on my laptop with Calibre, then replicate that to a server with Syncthing and serve it up via OPDS with COPS:

I like this because COPS is simple and easy to set up. It does just what I need and nothing else.

I read on a old jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite running KOReader.

Well, I can say Picard has been pretty well flawless for me. And in those few instances where it misidentifies something, you can always do a manual search and match.

Nine times out of ten my process is to load the tracks into Picard, cluster them, look them up, do a quick scan to confirm it looks good, and then save the updated metadata. For those few times it messes up, I just reload the files, cluster them, then do a manual search to find the appropriate release. It really is very good at its job.

Seconded. Precisely how I organize things. I use MusicBrainz Picard to clean up metadata before adding music to my collection.

Seconding Synphonium, it's surprisingly good and gets updates very regularly.

Brussel sprouts are delicious. Modern versions have had their bitterness bred out. Roasted until crispy with olive oil and garlic and salt and they're fantastic.

Problem is the fools that boil or steam them. That way lies little green brains.

Some people don't. That's why air sickness bags exist.

Another vote for Debian stable. You can use Jellyfin's repos to get an up to date version and bookworm will be solid for years which is what you want out of an appliance. And when you are ready to upgrade from stable to stable, Debian handles in-place upgrades better than anything else out there.
