I got your message. I guess this network has gone silent because everybody is signing up for their local militia or otherwise busy these days.

I'm having problems resolving minftn.net, and saw an email from Sean
saying he was passing Micronet off to Andrew. Maybe it's taking a
while to move the domain?
minftn.net has now been renewed; Sean and I are still working on the details of the transfer.

My wife and I sometimes daydream about winning the lottery or a

Of course. There are a million ways to homebrew a solution to home automati or use one of the new offerings from Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. But this i the infinite-money scenario. I would use the professional offerings the eli put in their estates. Control4, Crestron, etc.

Also I'd prefer not to share my infinite money with tech giants. If I wanted to
_buy_ a solution, I'd rather hire somebody to hack something together instead of purchasing a premade appliance from a tech giant.

They will just buy gear from a tech giant, add %20 and then charge you ex for the privilege.
When somebody hires me to hack something together I usually dig into a dumpster or buy some used stuff for 5 bucks.

For a change of pace, I do still play CDs from time to time. I
have a 5-disc carousel model in which I can play everything
randomly and be pleasantly surprised every time.
Back when buying CDs was a thing, I would have to goto obscure record shops and hunt around in the Genre buckets for new stuff. Now there are machine learning algorhythms studying the listening habits of millions of users and generating recommedations. They work pretty well and have brought tons of discovery my way.

I considered the same CD->MP3 project too, until I calculated
just how much time it would take and the extra HDD/SDD expense
(and the resources for backups) that it would require to store
the rips of over 2000 CDs

I have one of these in storage and I keep thinking I should get it out
and hook it up... but I never do. It's just too easy to pull up any random thing on Spotify or Apple Music.
My favorite feature of Spotify is the music discovery.
Their personally generated playlists are really great at
discovering new music and bands I would never discover
otherwise.

One day, I would like to dedicate an old laptop as the Spotify
server with collections that I have pulled for offline play
(Spotify allows this). And when I want new music for offline
play, simply take the laptop with me to my DSL service at the
shop in town.
My 2000+ collection acts almost like that now! I have piles of
CDs: some in boxes, some in towers on the floor, some in
dedicated CD tower displays, some in CD drawers. When I scan
through them randomly I discover something new every time. LOL

It's the build vs. buy argument. I would rather buy a solution if building it isn't worth my time. I want to spend my time doing things
I enjoy, or earn income. It's all about resources.

I do miss being able to sit cross legged on the floor and look at all
the CD'son the shelf, resorting ones that had been replaced incorrectly, and"remembering" CDs I had long forgotten.
Now, it's cheaper and easier to just buy Google apps and a domain name.
I still enjoyed building it from scratch more... :)
The worst was when you opened a case & found the wrong CD in there (or no CD at all). Sometimes you
would go to the case of the CD you found & find the correct disc, or other times it sends you on a
wild goose chase.

After a while, some of the previously empty cases would get mixed
in with the usual collection.
To this day (10 years later), I still haven't found a few of the
correct cases for the CDs that I'd like to put away properly.
But thankfully, it is just a few.

you don't have to worry about backups.
This became less of an issue once my sister and I had our own Columbia House subscriptions and could get our own CDs.
Getting a CD burner so I could make my own custom discs made that even less important, and made me quite a bit of money in High School. ;)
Yeah, I'm trying to convince my wife to bring in someone to convert their highly legacy on-prem old hardware (COMPAQ BRANDED SERVERS?) to O365. They're non-technical, the office is closed, and they suffer from power outages.
G suite might be easier - it used to be that Exchange and Outlook were a safe bet since everyone had used them at one point and had some familiarity, but the same could be said of Gmail now.

That only started to happen to me when I got a vehicle with a CD
player. I'd take the CD out of the hard case and refile them
into a soft-carry storage holder that I would use in the car.

My company has just converted to me gmail and I hate it. It's no inflexible. There's no "recall" message option. You can't recorder your mailboxes on the left side other than by stupid numbering of them. Just a bunch of stuff you can't do that was easy with Outlook. Considering I can get over 100 emails per day, it's putting a bit of a strain on my productivity while I try and find ways to battle around these things.
Gmail calls those things "labels". You create a label, and then
assign any emails you want to that label. It's effectively a
folder. The benefit is that those newly labelled messages will
then not clutter your standard Inbox.
I can create text labels. I don't know why you are limited toYes, I know how they work, but you cannot change the order from alphabetical unless you use a numbering system in certain circumstances.
just numbering them.
The UNSEND feature is pretty cool.Only for upto 30 seconds it is, and then it isn't.
