I shared this quite a while back, but now that you're on the Nix/Hyprland train (and my config has improved as well), here's my NixOS & HomeManager flake on gitub. It's a multi-host flake with reasonably sane, opinionated configs for Hyprland, Niri, Sway, River & Wayfire - also enables Plasma6 and COSMIC desktops. https://github.com/WhatstheUse/Fortydeux-NixOS-System-Flake Hyprland has been my go-to for a long time, but I'm really digging Niri with the "niri-switcher" addon lately. I'd gone to using the hyprscroller plugin for Hyprland, and in Niri that type of scrolling (based on PaperWM for Gnome) is built in Beautifully! It's also written in Rust 🦀 - and you can bring along your same Waybar config, just use "niri/workspaces" etc instead of the hyprland equivalents. It's definitely a project to watch (and try out!).

Chris, it's great to see you on the Nix/Hyprland train - I'll be checking out your config for sure! I've been going this route for a while and loving it, and it sounds like youve gone a similar route to me with the multi-host flake approach. Someone mentioned the repeated rebuilds - this takes a little less time with home-manager, and there are a couple ways to approach this, my tip would be, keep it as a standard Hyprland config file outside of Nix/HM while making heavy changes - this way you benefit from hot reload when saving the config file. Once it's more stable, start writing it to your .config folder with home-manager's "home.file". Then convert to a ".nix" eventually when it's pretty solid.

I too have been feeling the pain of no boosting or sat streaming from the private bootleg feed. One idea would be a 'credit' or 'podpass' system for Fountain that allows the podcast creator to give credits/passes to their Subscription feeds. I.E. you don't have to ditch the private RSS feeds for now, but also add the bootlegs to a Fountain Subscription feed, and ask the Fountain team to give these credits/passes to a JSON list of Jupiter Party members - obviously this requires Fountain to implement this credit/pass feature, and you would have to build a way to let Party members enter their Fountain IDs. But it might be a potential way forward?!

Great track! Another excellent site for v4v music that I didn't hear you mention but I think should get some love: LNBeats.com - maintained by the prolific and heroic @npub12qsqnxcdz… - also known for Music Side Project, The Split Kit, Curiocaster, and more 🙂

Sounds like you guys found some of my faves: I dont know how I ever lived without Helix, Yazi, and Zellij - I definitely appreciate these for their no-hassle power right out of the box. Ranger and 'nnn' are my runner-ups for file mgmt. Micro is another great text editor with more standard keybindings. I'm checking out 'jellyfin-tui' right now and it looks like a new staple and reminds me of 'Moc', which is my goto simple TUI music player. Thanks for the value!

Update to fountain subscription feedback - it seems that the 'subscribe for early access' message gets downloaded in place of the episode, so I had to delete it from my library and then manually search for the episode and re-add it to my library to listen. The 'subscribe for early access' message wasn't automatically replaced in my library when the full episode became available for everyone.

Some fountain subscription feedback... I didn't subscribe for early access yet - and now the episode is no longer tagged as "early access" but I'm still unable to listen to it - it still just plays the 'subscribe to get early access' message.
