am not going to wear a hair shirt

For anybody like me who was entirely confused by that sentence:

A hair shirt is a coarse garment intended to be worn next to the skin, keeping the wearer in a state of discomfort and constant awareness of the shirt’s presence. Such garments were traditionally worn by some Christian religious orders, along with individuals who felt penitent about certain actions or their lifestyles. Their use is fairly limited in the modern era, but the term is often used metaphorically, which is why someone might refer to “wearing a hair shirt” when they perform some other act of self-imposed penitence.

I switched to Qobuz and I like it much more than I liked Spotify. Only real complaint is having to use their web client in Linux.

I don’t stream, but I’m thinking of learning how to use torrents. More ethical than Apple or Amazon.

I had to fix some iCloud stuff for an ex, it was an absolute nightmare to deal with. I guess mileage varies. I couldn’t be happier with Nextcloud.

That said, I’m happy there are people who don’t want to sacrifice comfort on here. That’s a really good sign.

I generally don’t like joining sites that require more than a username, password, and possibly an email.
