Jukebox Update
Jellyfin didn't work out. It had an issue where after several hours it would simply stop playing music. My goal was to have something that shuffled music forever.
I ended up moving to Rhythmbox. This seemed to be working well, shuffling music for several days on the first attempt, however, it eventually stopped. However, it wasn't just Rhythmbox that stopped, Linux Mint as a whole froze up (twice now). I thought shuffling a folder full of local music would be easy, but it seems to be rife with issues.
I'm willing to accept this could be a hardware issue, but I'm having trouble justifying putting any real money behind what is essentially a headless server to shuffle music. This idea becomes even more problematic when changing out hardware is simply a troubleshooting step.

Here are some quotes.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Just because you fall on your ass doesn’t mean you need to stay there.
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
less, but better.
It's easier to hold your principles 100 percent of the time than it is to hold them 98 percent of the time.
Once you simplify the tooling & get deeper into the characteristics & capabilities of each tool, you begin to get more precision in your results. by focusing on a tool you find what it will do & how it does it but more important, how your action augments, modulates, or negates its performance. If you use it enough & your observation-sensitivity is operational, you will end by being able to do things with the tool which will surprise & amaze you.
You don't have to be a zen master to recognize that this will result in some pretty peachy changes in your relationship with self & thus with the rest of the universe.

Hello, world! This is my blog.
You may ask yourself, "why is this site so ugly?" The answer is simple. First, it's not ugly, it is beautifully functional. I know it will work on any browser made in the last 25 years with 0 testing. When new browser updates are released, this site won't break. Zero maintenance is a feature. Anything more would be me spending time to create and fix problems. If your browser is really wide and it makes the text hard to read, just make the window more narrow. I never understood the point of making a web browser full screen on a widescreen monitor… it's a poor use of space. Most sites fill that extra space with ads; this should not be encouraged.
