I thought it was when I switched over to pipewire, but no. I've got severe audio crackling problems now and I want to go back to pulse for all it's faults.

I use dex and picom now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.
Booting directly from UKI signed by my Secure Boot keys.
Bundling my two sata ssds into a single zfs volume, instead of manually moving stuff around between the nvme and two sata ssds. Combined with compression, and for my code folder deduplication it also resulted in a lot more usable space.
I set up my outgoing email to relay through an external server. I used to have comcast business class but when I sold my house, my only option at my condo is the comcast provided by the HOA (Comcast communities) which is residential. So lots of sites refuse to accept email send directly from my server. Comcast has a relay but it has crazy low rate limiting which is a pain when we need to send emails to all players.
Out of curiosity, what are you using (software and hardware) for the email relay?
A homebuilt rack mounted server running Fedora and sendmail. I've been using/configuring sendmail since the 80's and we didn't have fancy .mc preprocessing back then.
The outgoing relay is a paid service by Hostinger which resells titan.email. I just set the configuration in the relay to use the same credentials I set up in my SMTP/IMAP connections in tbird.
Adding a terminal multiplexer. Now I understand why UNIX is an IDE.
Nix! Just being able to run nix-env -i git and get a newer, isolated, git installation on an older Debian is very nice. Makes it easy to remove.
I can also do nix-shell -p <application I want to try out> if I want to test stuff out.
I've been able to ignore the Nix language pretty well so far, so no incredibly steep learning curve quite yet. Nix OS is still too spoopy for me.
