I use Lidarr to watch for new releases and try to get some bootleg albums, while main way of getting things is trough some websites or just pulling stuff from qobuz directly.

All the music is FLAC with a small percentage in mp3 320. also, man sometimes wants to get that 300GB discography pack with 6 different releases of the same album 😁

when people have too much free time

Yeah, Project Elixir.

funny tho, I was supporting a PE “dev” for a while… lovely news

so true

I’m using navidrome and symfonium and tempo, symfonium is worth to pay for, it does offer support for other protocols to plu into. What you could do with navidrome, is to create a m3u playlist of your random stuff, either manually or a script that would keep the playlist updated.

Mostly these systems are based on organizing by tags/artists, if you really want the “old school” folder approach then you, I suppose, keep looking.

Or see how to get ehat you want with music library systems

I got a used mini pc to run as a media center, running the arr stack and torrent client that’s bound to the VPN interface. For usenet stuff I don’t care is it on VPN or not. Its running headless.

If you make sure that the torrent client is set to be bound on the VPN interface, you are fine, if VPN is not up, it should not start, since the interface is not up. For VPN I use wireguard and set the VPN to be brought up by via wg-quick command and use systemd to start it during boot.

You’ll be fine using it for personal stuff along with pulling stuff from high seas.

works fine for me, didn’t really see any big issues.

At least, for me, Nix was never attractive, and it should be by all means, the features it provides. I still see this as an alternative, where I’m more than satisfied with my bash scripts and git repos, syncthing backups to rebuild the whole system.

And, on the second part, this schism that happened in Nix is the same recipie that happened in other projects. I just find it funny.

this might be more on me writing shit code than on tokio/hyper. give it a go.

Yeah, I’m looking at it, will probably rewrite the logic using Pingora. or maybe I did something wrong. Not sure if its something using the hyper legacy client, that has connection pooling, maybe there’s something there to improve.

or maybe the use of RwLock to share the config struct is reaching some limits. Will try using parking_lot to see if anything changes.

reverse proxy using tokio and hyper, there are few things to figure out on high traffic sotes, it doesn’t work as well compared to nginx after a certain threshold.

latest cargo crates updated

I’m running it trough docker with VNC, and it works fine for my use case.

First of all, this might now answer your question fully, but…

spotify-dl uses youtube music to download stuff, and if you have youtube premium you can get higher quality downloaded, I think it does opus 128 or 156 kbit, and the sound is quite good.

tidal, deezer, or qobuz have cd or hi-res quality songs, and there are utils that help you get stuff from their service. qobuz-dl’s the one I have been experimenting with. Obviously you need subscription for it, but spotify is generally shit.

Apart from that I used few other sources to get my music.

ProtonVPN mostly when I need to VPN. Got a plan with them with email and this works well.

I’m using usenet.farm, works well

I use windows for 2 things - personal pc to play games, work laptop dualboot for excel usage if some super old messy sheets. everything else linux.

I was running most of them and added Sync - looked fine, but Connect / Voyager work fine for my personal taste, I’m just waiting for Infinity to come out with a full featured stable release. if dev wants to charge for no ads version or ultimate version, it is up to them, and up to the users if they are willing to pay them this. So, it all depends. I wouldn’t go ahead and attack them just because.

use dpkg -r to remove the packages:

openjdk-17-jre-headless:amd64 openjdk-17-jre:amd64 default-jre minecraft-launcher geogebra

Then install minecraft-launcher and see what it says. might be that openjdk is clashing with default-java.

my 2 cents just on this…
