I wish my local NPR station, St. Louis Public Radio, would add RSS feeds for their news articles.

7Up Shirley Temple may be my new favorite soda.
Currently reading: Only God Can Judge Me by Jeff Pearlman 📚
Now playing: The Big Push - An Englishman in New York from the album Busking Sessions.
One thing that channels does better than any other media server is the Virtual Channels feature. The problem is, other features rarely work with it. Can’t add streamlinked content to virtual channels. Can’t use Virtual Channels in the new multiview (or any personal media). So many caveats.
Channels had a pretty nice update. The multi-view is pretty looking. Unfortunately, it only works with live TV sources. My dreams of watching live sports, Seinfeld, Saved by the Bell, and Field of Dreams all at the same time will have to wait. I did get some sports channels added via EPlusTV though.
No rap songs are in Billboard’s top 40 for the first time since 1990. Now is ska’s chance to strike. The children yearn for ska.
My media server is a mini PC that runs Windows 11. My laptop is an old Macbook Pro that runs Linux (currently Zorin OS), I have a Raspberry Pi running Unbound and Pi-hole and a Mac Mini and my work machine is a Macbook Pro. The worst system to maintain updates on, by far, is the Windows 11 machine.
I found one weird oddity on Zorin so far. I installed Firefox (because fuck Brave) and it defaulted to the flatpak version. The flatpak app was having issues connecting to local sites. Installing the system package resolved that issue. Strange.
Zorin OS 18 installed.
