This seems to break SMS-forwarding between iDevices. Found out the hard way when some package delivery notifications only arrived once I unlocked my secondary iPhone and opened the Messaging-app.

Reminds me of squareoffnow[.]com. I've been wanting to get two boards for a while now and do remote play with friends.

The author mentioned at the beginning of this post that they were inspired by SquareOff board demonstrations.

Qobuz has an extensive online shop for music.

True, but they are pricey ($25+ USD for an album), and force you to choose between hi-res (24 bit FLAC) and CD quality, instead of purchasing rights to a song and offering MP3 as well.

I have an extensive MP3 collection, favorite albums I try to keep FLAC, while others I'm fine with MP3/320 or for stuff I collect but don't listen to all the time, VBR 256 is fine to keep size small.

I've been quite happy with my switch to Capture One. They offer subscription and one-off purchases. I haven't seen the need to upgrade since my initial purchase. The Capture ONE RAW engine also seems to produce better results for my Fuji than Lightroom.

Couple of funny ones in Finnish:

"Kuusi palaa" has at least six different meanings: 1) your moon is burning, 2) pruce tree is burning, 3) number six is burning, 4) a part of something is burning, 5) pruce tree returns, and 6) your moon returns.

"Kokoa kokoon koko kokko!" "Koko kokko kokoonko?" "Koko kokko kokoon!"

Which translates to a conversation between two parties on the building of a bonfire.

Wait, so you’re saying Finns have no way to distinguish between “your moon is burning” and “pruce tree returns”??? No wonder Nokia failed.

If anyone is looking for a better alternative, I can highly recommend Library Thing (https://www.librarything.com). It connects with various library databases around the world for metadata and the forum discussions can yield great recommendations.

The only downside is that it is a bit dated in its UI.

I also use LibraryThing, and I switched over when GoodReads was acquired by Amazon. I love LibraryThing, and they do monthly giveaways of new books by indie authors. I try to recommend it to everyone I know, so thanks for plugging it in this thread.

Here's my profile, if anyone wants to be book-nerd friends: https://www.librarything.com/profile/awesame

I’ve used LT since 2006. I like its interface which presents a lot of information on one page instead of lots of white space. And I like its features, groups, discussions etc. Though my use has dropped off now.

I have both LibraryThing and Goodreads and usually use the latter because the integration with Kindle makes it easier to keep my library updated. There isn't much difference between them if don't use the social features of Goodreads.

I’m certainly interested to read more about your setup.

I'd love to hear the stories.
