Not quite there myself, but I'm gearing up my homelab to host a media server with tailscale.

EDIT: I guess I could collect CDs again and rip them!

What is the preferred/best way to rip CDs from the Linux CLI? Is there a way to apply track info (is CDDB still around?) and edit that as well?

For me, I never really stopped collecting physical media, particularly CDs. I've been pleasantly surprised to see it make a comeback. I've started collecting cassettes now, too, because I own a couple vehicles old enough that the stock radio has a cassette player.
