I use a Git repo for the files, and a simple Makefile to script the correct paths and optional install steps for them

That looks useful, thanks for sharing

This looks really nice, I’ll star it so I remember to download it later

Yay HaxeFlixel

That was one of my main introductions to programming in general

I usually just listen through Spotify, but for the albums I have bought physically, I usually rip them into FLAC files using fre:ac. Once I have the files, I place them in a cloud synced folder for backup, and in the Music folder on my desktop. I then use Clementine to play them, which gives a nice GUI from the metadata of the FLAC files. I also have a copy of all the albums on my phone, which I usually listen to through either VLC or “USB Audio Player Pro” (which, despite the name, is actually a good app).

Do you prefer your pizzas with or without the peel?

One way is to go to [instance url]/instances to get a list of federated instances, and see if it appears there. For example, to see who lemmy.world federates with, go to https://lemmy.world/instances

I’ve used Mint since I started using Linux, and never had any major issues. I’ve therefore just stuck with it. I don’t always have the time to tinker with my machine if something should break, and Mint usually just works when I need it, while still providing flexibility when I want it (and Timeshift to fix it when I break stuff)
