It’s been so quiet on this corner of the Internet lately that I didn’t get a chance to wish a Happy New Year to anyone still reading these pages. Better late than never, right? 🤷🏽‍♂️

With the incoming end of the year lists craze and the looming Apple Music vs Spotify charts war, I’m glad there is a FOSS alternative to both Last.FM and $potify’s recommendations algorithm.
