BBSes are back!

I’ll give ultrasonic a try. Thank you.

🤜🤛

Have you had problems on android with tempo not continuing playback?

I also run navidrome, and have tried tempo, substreamer, and another client I can’t think of, and any of the clients that stream keep stopping playback after one song when the screen is locked.

I’ve given the client all the permissions for running in the background and using battery that I can and no matter what I do, it’ll just stop after one song.

I’m on a pixel 7a with gOS.

For now I’ve settled on Poweramp with tla selection of the music on my phone since I can’t fit it all in storage. Its been really frustrating.

As a self-hoster, I love docker. It’s been an amazing deployment tool.

WHY THE FUCK DIDN’T YOU ADD .ENV TO .GITIGNORE YOU FUCKING DONKEY!?!?!

Fucking awful if it is.

Ytdlp works with Spotify too iirc, and there are Spotify downloaders out there too.

Let’s hope it sticks when Microsoft backs up the money truck.

I’d encourage learning. The more you understand the better you can control your data and maintain your services. You don’t need to be an expert but I’d encourage working towards relying less on gpt.

wg-easy is what you want

DOWN:

I’m currently fighting with my OliveTin config file. I added a simple new config for a button action and ylthe whole thing just shit the bed. Now OliveTin won’t load at all. Even after removing the new config. Stupid yaml.

UP:

After reading the Jellyfin docs and their Hardware Encoder Quality section which states

Apple ≥ Intel ≥ Nvidia >>> AMD*

I decided to spin up a test server on the m1 mini that’s been sitting unused in my basement for a couple of months now to see if I can get better performance out of jellyfin on the m1 vs where it’s running currently, which is on an i7 Intel that’s going on 10ish years old now.

I also spun up baserow and directus containers to see which one I want to use for my database needs.

Audiobookshelf for sure. It handles audiobooks fabulously, and it also does handle ebooks.

I use it to manage my eBook library, but not as the reader. You can set up a “send to ereader” option to email the ebooks to your reader of choice. So I just shoot them off to my pocketbook ereader when I want to read one.

Arch wiki is the documentation gold standard

Definitely. Why not use something off the shelf! That by itself would make it much more approachable

I’ve been on arch around a year now and also considered the jump to NixOS. I was actually dual booting it with arch for awhile and I found pretty quickly that the shit documentation was a huge turn off for me. I ended up nuking the nix partition and reclaiming it for arch.

Kinda giving me Dexter’s brother/Ice Cream Truck Killer vibes.

Another for radicale. Been using it for years now. Its great.

I use gnu stow and my self hosted got forge to manage and back up my config files. With a 3-2-1 backup strategy on the gitforge of three copies, at least two mediums, with one offsite.

Same here. luks encrypted drive in my work locker.
