We can go further

Things can be good from the consumption side. But the developers are often working long extra hours to make that happen. If we want to escape capitalism ever, we need to think of the human element.

I would love to see a non-proprietary desktop music player. Just something simple that I can listen to my MP3s with. Audacity is great, but it’s a PITA when it comes to casual listening.

/s. As sbv Said in another comment, I think it’s best to join an existing project. Loops has potential to rival TikTok but it’s still not in a state I would use.

Edit: I could have placed the /s a bit better to flag my surreal sense of humour. I was joking about FOSS lacking a desktop music player, because there seem to be hundreds of them. I use Audacity for editing, not listening to mp3s :)

I could really use some of these. There’s a video showing what they look like for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUxcMQ4MKK4&pp=ygULRHVtYndhcmUuaW8%3D

Yeah, I’m using Amperify app (iOS) and it’s great. I’m very happy with my choice of Navidrome now.

I’m planning on porting my Wordpress site to this. I haven’t used it yet but based on what I’ve read it will be easier than Hugo.

Thanks. I might check it out again. It’s been over a decade since I’ve used it.

Does that include raster editing? I liked KritasUI but I’m not an artist.

Typically the ones advertised as “tested” or “working” have only had the player tested. Not the record functionality.

My MD players still play but no longer record. I can’t find anyone in my country to repair / replace the record head.

Thank you again for the response. The summary is very helpful too.

It looks like I don’t need the reverse proxy, since the sensitive services* support authentication and HTTPS.

I would need the lighttpd service to be available over unsecured HTTP too, but if that’s not possible I could always use a different subdomain.

• A small music and film library

That is such a clear explanation and makes a lot of sense, thank you again.

Since the services I’m interested in serving are authenticated then it sounds like HTTPS is what I need (which is what originally made the most sense to me). That’s a relief. I just need to figure out how to have separate HTTP and HTTPS services hosted from the one ARM service.

Thanks! Is the point of reverse-proxying your public-facing services to make them private?

I have a general idea. I appreciate the info :). I’ve made a point of having nothing sensitive in the contents or the requests (I don’t have any forms, for example. It’s all static pages).

Thank you for the very informative reply.

The HTTP and Gemini services are for vintage clients, but I would like the reverse proxy to keep my media collection private (and maybe SSH and SMB too). So I’m serving to modern clients in the case of reverse proxy. I was told that port forwarding is no longer considered secure enough and that if my media gets publicly exposed I could be liable for damages to license holders.

Linux running HTTP and Gemini servers. This is fine from home using port forwarding and afraid.org’s dynamic DNS.

They’re lightweight sites that exist to be accessed by vintage computers which aren’t powerful enough to run SSL.

That’s reassuring. Thanks, I was struggling with the concept and where to start but I should be fine now since I’m handy enough with a terminal.

Wonderful. Thank you!
