You definitely want to look at the economics and see if there’s some way to do a mini split. It will save you a lot on electric, and depending on the climate you’re in, it could pay for itself by February.
I’ve looked into the same, sad it’s not viable yet…
Well it’d need declarative configuration IMO, so maybe something like tvix would need to be integrated first. That could also get us to being DSL agnostic.
I used to live in a big city and was bicycling or bussing a lot. When my apartment lease ran out, I was able to find a place where I could walk most of the time. That was great for several years. Of course it depended on the specific location.
Another thing is owning less. If you own things that you don’t use at least once a year, maybe get rid of them. It’s easier to clean, to move, to organize, to find things. Of course this also depends on preference. Regardless, owning things has its own mental and financial costs, so find an amount that is good for you.
Getting rid of a TV made my life better. Similarly, getting rid of a microwave. But the latter depends on your cooking habits. For example, my work has a microwave, so I heat food up there regularly, and at home I cook things.
I’m not sure I really get what you are looking for when you say “selfhosted”.
Yes there are self-hosted music platforms, but you bring your own music files.
Maybe you are looking for something like Spotube (available on F-Droid) that let’s you download music (I believe it uses Spotify search then downloads the music from YouTube).
Or maybe you just need to find a tool to download music from Spotify (like zotify) then put them into a self hosted music platform like Navidrome or Jellyfin?
Sorry for the late reply. I mean a service that let me stream music, that let me listen to music offline and that let me download Spotify Playlists without the need to download every single song manually.
I don’t know that the specific thing you want is available (Spotify but it has better downloading).
However, the tool I linked (zotify) does let you download playlists from Spotify (as files). Then you can put the files into a self hosted tool for the actual listening. If you’re mainly using Spotify and trying to get songs to be synced to another service for offline use then that seems like a lot of work.
If you’re willing to pay, you could just try a different service (Tidal, Qobuz, or Apple/Google offerings) and see if you like them better.
I am absolutely taking the L here since I’ve apparently been brushing my teeth wrong for most of my life.
I’ll never get flossing right so water picking has been the next best thing.
I currently spend a 1-2k a year at the dentist, which imo, isn’t that bad. But probably way less had I learned proper brushing and had better flossing habits.
