Queso as in cheese? What’s that stuff in the blue thing?

Just imagine the ad-serving possibilities…

Playing Descent with musicmatch jukebox running in the background. (Probably a 98 memory).

Bouncing sheep…

Oddly specific theme on this sub today…

Syncthing-fork on f-droid.

I just use syncthing to copy music to my phone sd card.

Does the zsa voyager help?
