I remember this thread! Before I saw this comment, I had already gone to look it up again:
Here’s the initial post of Verionica’s video on booting from ISO files: https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112905487325961707
And here’s the post on 'The Ventoy conspiracy": https://linuxmom.net/@vkc/112906968594601449
Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.
Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn’t think it did.
+1 for long-ass backup script. First dump the databases with the appropriate command. Currently, I have only MariaDB and Postgres instances. Then, I use Borg to backup the database dumps and the docker volumes.
Database SQL dumps compress very well. I haven’t had any problems yet
v1.105.1 is already out. Apparently there was a critical bug in v1.105.0 to do with external libraries.
I wanted to follow up here because I became aware of a pretty good solution for this. It’s called pine pods and it’s an open source self-hosted service that also syncs with GPodder (or Nextcloud’s version of it) so it will keep AntennaPod and itself synched.
I currently use AntennaPod with NextCloud’s version of GPodderSync; which is…adequate.
My ultimate solution would be one where a self-hosted app that tracks and download my podcasts, and then proxy them with some sync mechanism to an android app, but keep them as separate shows with artwork and stuff rather than consolidate them into one feed. I could then choose to listen on the self-hosted web interface or the Android app, and they would be kept in sync.
I use it! It is miles better than other Jellyfin apps for music, but there are still things I wish it still had.
I maintain a Jellyfin instance for audio that points at the same music library as my Navidrome instance does just so I can use the Jellyfin client for Android TV. I would absolutely LOVE to have a subsonic-compatible Android-TV-focused app, so I could finally single-source my music. It’s just not friendly to guests to have them have to log in somewhere using their own device to my music server and then have to cast to my main entertainment system at home, when Android TV is just sitting there, acting as nothing more than an old-school Chromecast.
So, don’t get me wrong, Jellyfin is THE BEST video server software FOSS or not, IMO :)
I currently use Jellyfin and Navidrome. JF just seems really awkward for music. It’s like it tries to treat music and video like the same kind of entities, and they just aren’t.
I really really want a better FOSS -compatible music app.
I feel this comment so much. Like you, I’m a Symfonium user, after reluctantly admitting that DSub has stagnated. I really wish someone would just assume that mantle.
Tempo is probably the best of the current FOSS subsonic-compatible apps, and it ticks most of the boxes, but it still has a way to go to become my daily music app. I posted a review/wishlist in its GitHub discussions for what it could implement to be great in my view, but development seems really slow for it. It might be just one guy, I’m not sure.
Here’s hoping things get better!
The command that I can never get right the first time is ln. I always end up creating a dead link inside my target folder, even when I read the man page directly prior.
GoToSocial is pretty good, but it has some fundamental limitations like being unable to follow hashtags and not having a web client of its own. I currently have a self-hosted instances of both Mastodon and GoToSocial (for testing purposes), but I mostly use the Mastodon one.
Bookstack is what I self host, but this is the best pure markdown editor I’ve found: https://markdownlivepreview.com/
I am using a normal desktop case with an external usb-c 8-bay JBOD drive enclosure from Mediasonic. I’m using mdadm to combine the drives with RAID-6. I know I’m not getting the performance that I could with native SATA, but it can still saturate my 1Gbps network, so it’s good enough for serving video, audio, and some other web-based apps.
I have investigated many, many subsonic compatible apps for one as full featured as DSub. Tempo looks great, but does it have Chromecast and Android Auto clients? Those are both necessities for me.
The fact that DSub has all of these and hasn’t really been in active development for years speaks volumes about its quality.
I will keep a close eye on Tempo, though!
puTTY, my favourite terminal program for windows.
Ha! I love “lappy-386”. I miss Strongbad emails. Especially the Halloween ones. And Trogdor.
I’ve been using it for about 1.5 - 2 years. It’s always been there for me.
I wish the web interface let you sort the sub categories both ways. I have a series of subcategories of Year/month that I’m using as a journal and the longer I keep writing, the further have to scroll down :/
