There are some great recommendations here for classic 90s shoegaze. I recently found a more current band that is playing some great shoegaze: Deserta. Love these guys!

These days, I design everything for home with extreme simplicity coupled with detailed documentation on how I set things up.
Docker has helped tremendously, since you can essentially use an out-of-the-box Linux distro with docker installed, and you don't really have to install anything else on the hardware. Then if at all possible, I use standard docker images provided by the software developer with no modifications (maybe some small tweaks in a docker-compose file to map to local resources).
Anyway, my advice is to keep the number of customizations to a bare minimum, minimize the number of moving parts in your home solutions, document everything you do (starting with installing the OS all the way through configuring your applications), capture as much of the configuration as you can in declarative formats (like docker compose files), back up all your data, and just as importantly, back up every single configuration file.
I also do think that commentators are WAY too quick to impart meaning to Trump's words in situations like this. After observing his actions and statements for 4 years, I'm quite confident that he doesn't think much while he speaks. Words just dribble out in stupid ways "stand back and stand by" comes to mind. Trump never learned to speak or think with any discipline. So it's like he follows a Markov chain of words -- I can't say the phrase you've asked me to say ("stand down") because that makes me look weak. However, "back" and "by" follow the word "stand" with high degrees of frequency, so let's just go from "stand" to "back", and then for extra measure (because saying lots of words makes me look smarter), let's try another phrase - "stand by". No real thought of the meaning behind that.
And that's one of the biggest points about this individual. Not only does he have a complete lack of empathy and a complete fixation on himself, he doesn't communicate with enough precision to provide real leadership. No wonder qanon has so much fun searching for hidden meaning in his words; it's effectively just word soup, which can lead to all kinds of interesting crazy conclusions.

It gives you container-level info, pod events, and logs from failed containers all in one quick view.
In one car, we have an aftermarket JBL stereo; it typically takes about 30-45 seconds to pair. Unacceptable, but better than the stereo in the CX-9 -- with that one, it's typically about 3-4 minutes before I can hear any audio. 30 seconds of searching for the phone, and then like 2-3 minutes of limbo where it's doing god-knows-what telling me it can't play audio while it transfers phone data. Surely my contact list doesn't take that long to sync?
Quite often, I get a "ghost" connection, where the phone indicates it's connnected, and the car stereo does, too. Audio applications are playing, and the time is advancing, but no audio is coming out. Usually takes about 2-3 disconnect/reconnect cycles to correct it.
Paired to an Amazon Echo, my phone disconnects every time the music pauses; this is a new problem.
For a while, my Sony STR-DN1050 connected so well that I could just select it on my phone, and it would power up the receiver, select the Bluetooth input, and connect within 3 seconds. Then one day, it just stopped working that way, and I have to power up the receiver and manually select the Bluetooth input before trying to connect.
About once every couple of months, I have to REBOOT the phone in order to get pairing to work.
I've seen this erratic and pitiful performance on a wide variety of android phones, from low-end to high end: Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S8, Pixel 3, Pixel 4, Moto G6, Moto G7. Over nearly a decade, it just never gets better.
This guy (blumomo) is arguing in bad faith and yet keeps doubling down. An all-too-common behavior pattern these days.
I used to love that program for its simplicity. I will cast my vote for ocenaudio as the fastest, most intuitive audio editor for basic tasks (and it does a great job with batch jobs, too, like running the same noise reduction on 10 clips at the same time).
