I think the second guy had it backwards.

You can get the streams in the form of a playlist file.
Attach it to any subsonic player. Or probably VLC

It seems to go along popularity lines. I have never heard of this phone.
Yes it is. PITA to work within your own network.
I run a DNS server for this purpose.
I wanted a taskbar button for Navidrome at work. This is so I could quickly find my music in between the several open Firefox windows.
As the IT admin, I could've installed this. But I knew I REALLY shouldn't. It needed administrator rights, and I had no idea how secure it was.
So instead I used Brave for Navidrome PWA. Brave was installed as local user, so it couldn't bring down my entire organization if it got my password.
Now I'll be able to switch back.
You can do DDNS for free, using a client app on your server, rather than router.
I use cloudflare-ddns
Shit. Here I thought I was creative.
I use my alias butter. With either the device or the OS if I'm dual booting or distrohopping.
No ads, no masters.
There's never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.
How does one have a donation = no influence policy?
Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn't happen...
Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.
If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like "make ad blockers worse"
It's a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.
I'm fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it's entirely unimportant to me.
Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.
Doing the lords work.
Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.
I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff
This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they're so hard.
I have a baby.
This is accurate.
Not me!
Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.
8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It'll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.
GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I've ever used. I haven't ever had any problems with it that wasn't a result to its security features.
Who else cried during Bluey's 'The Sign'?
It was such a good episode, though
Looking for a good, cheap backup solution.
I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.
Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?
Users with personal music libraries, how do you decide what to download?
I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.
My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?
Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?
How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions?
Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.
Any advice?
Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.
Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.
My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.
I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.
In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now
If we could suck 101% of the carbon we produce in a day out of the air, how would the effect global efforts to go carbon neutral?
Obviously, this will probably never happen. In the best future for humanity, maybe we can drop our emissions enough to allow for such a thing. But more likely societal collapse
Is there any good way to pirate Rock band 4 DLC for ps4?
I have a full set of instruments on ps4 with at least a hundred songs of dlc. Is this something people do regularly?
Frameo digital picture frame privacy
I want to get my wife a digital picture frame. Just a little screen that we can add pictures to. Nothing too complicated.
Half of them out there run on frameo. A friend of mine has a frameo, it seems nice. The privacy policy isn't great. Facebook, Google, the usual offenders. Supposedly, it's end to end, so the pictures are secure. I don't know and that
Is there a decent alternative? I'm not against going with a flash drive, if that's my only option.
How likely am I to brick the fairphone 4 if I buy one?
Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool.
Obviously, I'd be careful. But am I likely to brick a fp4 by ROM hopping? Is it dangerous enough that I should not go into buying this phone with the intention of installing a ROM?
Mainly, I want to play with Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS, and maybe sailfish. But I figure if those don't quite work out, I'll land on Lineage with MicroG or /e/, since that'll be stock fp4 in the US.
Homarr with torrent/jellyseerr security
I'm interested in running a service like homarr. This would give my family access to view stuff easily, and I could link to the rest of my services. My main concern is linking jellyseerr, and giving what could be strangers access to make requests.
Is anyone out there using a home screen with seerr capability? How is it working for you?
What Pokémon Go could've been.
By now, it's well known that Pokémon Go sucks. My biggest problem with it is just how shallow it is. It's like a minimum viable product with a vaguely addicting gameplay loop.
Here is a short list of ideas that could've made the game more interesting. Pretty much every problem boils down to "but implementing this would've made us lose money"
Pokestops could've been "typed". Like "hospital" could've been a free heal or have better healing item rates. "Museum" could've been the place to get fossil Pokémon, or maybe revive fossils that you find from regular stops. Maybe a grocery store would've had better item rates. A school could've been a move relearner. Maybe some Pokémon only evolve at church, or at an amusement park. The lures could've done something similar, turning normal stops into typed stops. They had so much power at their disposal. They ran on Google maps, ffs.
The friend system is just so stupid. For some reason, it's the best way to farm items? Why can I send a gift at
Looking for a better SMS system.
I'm very tired of SMS being horrible and necessary. Matrix has a bridge for SMS, but it doesn't work very well. There's other SMS bridges, no idea how well they work.
Does anyone have a good solution for dealing with SMS?
Best self hosted photo manager for multi user
My wife is using Google Photos, and I've been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I'm not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I'd have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.
What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?
In Ohio, you and your spouse share an FMLA pool for children if work together
Just a heads up, if you're looking to have children in Ohio. If you and your spouse work at the same place, your company can give you a shared FMLA pool, rather than two separate pools. Not sure if this is a common rule, across the country. And obviously your company can give you more as they see fit.
The company my wife and I work lets us take 2 weeks off with no approval needed, which is what I'll do, and I'm giving my wife the 12 weeks of FMLA. I only have 2 weeks vacation time, so if I took any more, I'd start eating my cash.
