Self-hosting makes a ton of sense.

I do like the variety that comes with streaming. Getting notified about new releases from your favorite artists and then just being able to listen to them right away is a joy.

But one day, when my music streaming service will invariably get enshittified, I will self-host, too :)

Having grown up with cassette tapes and CDs later on, I just want digital.

Yes, it is nice to hold a physical thing, but it’s also nice to just play any song on your phone that you have on you 24/7 anyway.

Owning more things really doesn’t sound appealing to me personally. Also, CDs were never very portable, they scratch and these little tabs on their plastic cases break.

Sorry for sounding so negative, I’m glad they are having fun with their music. I just think the current CD trend couls be 2nd hand nostalgia for today’s teens and young adults who just didn’t learn to loathe them yet 😅

Thank you. And I sympathize, 40min is rough.

We’ve been using a catmate feeder for the last 2 nights and it seems to have helped a little.

But some of the morning ruccus may just be literal screams for attention 😏

I posted this using the android app “blorp” and I guess that does some compression?

Yes, he is a grumpy boy. Unless he’s asleep, then he becomes a seal 😅

I like this idea. Will try dry food in the morning. He doesn’t get nearly as excited about dry food 😁

A full day’s meal in one go? He’s really into food but I’d be afraid he’d vomit if he ate that much 😄

This is a bit tricky, unfortunately. The gray one is much more into dry food and we’ve already had to cut back on food a little bit because he has been gaining weight. I fear that if food is always available, the gray one would gain weight very quickly.

Did you feed him just dry food? I’d be concerned about wet food going bad, especially in summer.
