Antennapod also has an option to skip the first X seconds of a pod and the last X seconds. It's really useful when an episode starts with 3 minutes of ads.

Can one recover from an accidental rm -rf of system directories by copying those files back in from a backup?
you dont say the o/s but if the pkg manager works, or you can add a statically compiled version, you could force reinstall all pkgs

Require a password when viewing browser's saved passwords
Nothing to really fix because thats the design. In userland you can do anything, system wide needs elevated credentials. If you don't want the password prompt, look into aliases and sudoers/pkexec

Can I email or text myself through Python or bash?
Use mailx along with a .mailrc file? Once .mailrc is set up it should just need:
$ echo 'is this working?' | mailx -s Test
Not sure exactly what .mailrc needs for gmail but there are tons of guides out there.

Its easy with Jellyfin and the config will tell you if its set up right. You can either go directly to the Jellyfin port or thru a reverse proxy but either way you're exposing ports. I ran mine behind docker so I could easily keep everything up to date.

Your recommendations for (Wayland) tiling window managers? Need some guidance before getting started
Qtile... the default bar is really nice to use and if you know a little python every aspect of the WM is easy to hack around in. Docs are great too.

All IMO of course but I think you'd only be on the hook legally for using Jellyfin if you sold access to your server. A private server would never hit the radar in a million years. The bad thing about exposing ports is you're giving access to a service and therefore you're relying on the Jellyfin authentication system to be secure. If there are flaws then, at best, someone could watch your content (and possibly delete it depending on your JF config) and at worst they could escalate privileges to get access to the hosting server and do whatever they want on your network. Like I said, I ran it on docker behind traefik (as the reverse proxy) and had no concerns doing so. I would much rather have the slight extra hassle of Jellyfin over Plex because I didn't want the Plex middle-man sat between me and the person consuming the content. Jellyfin is a direct connection and there's an app on Roku so it met all my needs.

I had to take the keyboard off to remove a screw that enabled the required bios update. Since then been running Void with no issues. This was a Lenovo N22 so old, but still working.

Void Linux
Been using it a while and I genuinely cant find anything to complain about. xbps is the best pkg manager, runit is quick and gets out the way and all my architectures are supported
