I host my music on an Unraid box on my home LAN, use Plex+Plexamp to serve and access it, and 1000% recommended Plex+Plexamp. It is, without a doubt, the best music app I've used on a phone, including other self-hosting solutions, local apps like Poweramp, and commercial streaming apps like Spotify. I really can't speak of it highly enough.

I generally agree though barely stayed with Pixel+GOS after my last Pixel refused to turn on after plugging it in before a nap, leaving me with a totally bricked phone, no way of recovering local data on the device, and a $100 bill to replace it since the screen was cracked - despite it being dead because of manufacturer defects, and a broken screen having no bearing on it's death.
If I wasn't such a fan of GrapheneOS, I would have ditched Pixel so fast.
I can't wait to see cultural uptake of the importance of light and circadian friendly indoor lighting.
Of course, I'd prefer advances in construction that would allow large amounts of full spectrum light to enter buildings, but that's only relevant to new construction.

I've been using it for over a year, 100% of the time, and love it. Great results and awesome functionality like weighting certain sites, AI summarization, etc.

The majority of TV shows and movies that I watch are unavailable on streaming services. I know there's some more specialty streaming services for film these days, but besides that, it seems like its mostly well-known classics, anything mainstream from the past 20 years, or new releases that are available.
I solely credit piracy for enabling my appreciation of film and TV. I was never a big fan of either until I got access to a huge catalog and started watching classics that are not popular enough for streaming services to pickup.
You know, I actually actively dislike Discourse's UX. I've always found there to be a cognitive load to usage that I never found with PhpBB, other older forum software, or Reddit.
I think my issue with it has to do with too clean of a UI, not enough visual hierarchy, delineation between post replies, etc.
DXM is one of a few dissociative compounds besides Ketamine that I feel should be further studied for psychological and emotional benefit, the most important, in my opinion, being Methoxetamine (MXE).
If anyone that has any pull is reading this, do trials with MXE. It's Ketamine on steroids.
Like most dissociatives, it is unpleasant until it "clicks".
Once it clicks, it is just as pleasurable as Ketamine, Methoxetamine, and other related ACHs.
One major difference between DXM and K is that DXM is quite stimulating whereas K is rather subdued and relaxing. If you don't have dissociative experience besides Ketamine, I'm not surprised that trying DXM after K would lead to an unpleasant experience.
How much have you used DXM? It's not deliriant-esque in it's effects at all, IME. While having notable differences in a few secondary aspects of it's effects profile, a majority of it's effects are classic arylcyclohexylamine dissociative effects.
Context: I've used a large amount of DXM as well as numerous ACH dissociatives.
