  • Thinking of adding Navidrome and Jellyfin to my set up

    Jump

  • I'll second that

    Jellyfin can function as a music server, but it's definitely a video server first. All the other media (music, books, podcasts, etc) are basically still treated like TV shows when it comes to how they need to be rigidly organized.

    Navidrome on the other hand, can just take a pile of mp3s and sort everything out based on tags. Navidrome can also handle additional artists, so it can understand that "Eminem feat Elton John" isn't a single artist. That was ultimately what made me switch from Jellyfin.

  • Having a little trouble deciding on which path to go

    Jump

  • Personally, I ripped my CDs to MP3S, and convert anything I downloaded to MP3, as well. I'm no audiophile, so I really can't tell the difference when listening; the difference is only noticeable when I look at my storage and bandwidth.

  • Valve Says It's 'Hard at Work' on Steam Deck 2, but There's Still No Release Window

    Jump

  • I think they just meant as far as user popularity. More people are hearing about Linux thanks to the SD and other SteamOS handhelds. Maybe the SD 2 help show that ARM can play games beyond just emulators?

  • Floating IP challenge

    Jump

  • What is the specific problem?

    A dynamic IP address just requires dynamic DNS.

    CGNAT and carrier firewalls, on the other hand, will require an alternative entry point. That is, you'll need a different, externally accessible service that can route requests back to your first server.

  • The "EveryHam" Radio Contest

    Jump

  • They're accepted, of course, but with the maximum power limit being only 20w, I don't intend to introduce additional power classes or multipliers.

    Another part of trying to make it more accessible is keeping the rules fairly simple. Addressing differences in band/mode limitations with multipliers seemed like a necessary evil, but I'm using the 20w limit to create a somewhat level playing field without adding any additional scoring complexity.

    Unfortunately, this also ruled out satellites, which is a favorite of mine, but I think it's worth it to keep the contest simple.

  • The "EveryHam" Radio Contest

    Jump

  • You can still give it shot! There are significant multipliers for VHF and higher bands to account for the generally more limited range. It's really intended to be something that every ham can participate in and enjoy.There's even an table at the bottom of the "About and Rules" page showing example scoring comparisons between several different band/mode combos.

    Cool to hear you're building a rig, though! Is it a kit? I built a bitx40 several years ago, but it sounds like you're tackling something a bit more complex. lol

  • Getting exclusive steady posts into my RSS feeder

    Jump

  • I'm not sure what Steady is, but it sounds like FreshRSS can do what you want. If you can read the articles on the website, then you should be able to use FreshRSS to scrape the site and create a feed from it. For content behind a login, I'm pretty sure FreshRSS can handle basic-auth or you can provide it cookies.

    There's also KillTheNewsLetter which does what you want the other way, by just converting the emails into an RSS feed. It can be self-hosted, but I haven't tried it myself, though.

  • The Small Website Discoverability Crisis

    Jump

  • I agree with this.

    Social media shouldn't be a requirement to express yourself online. If you start with a website, then you can choose to share on social media if you want, or not, plus anyone who wants to follow the site can subscribe to the feed without needing an account themselves.

    Web, Gemini & Gopher.

    Jump

  • It never left!

    Floodgap and SDF is still rocking and there are tons of personal phlogs.

    Mine, for example: gopher://gopher.k3can.us

  • Asset Management Recommendations

    Jump

  • I'd look into Lubelogger for vehicles, paperless-ngx for general paperwork, and grocy for everything else.

  • Removed

    Docker is hard work

    Jump

  • And auto rollback to the previous image if a container fails after an update.

  • How would you answer the "ecological" question on self hosting and federated networks ?

    Jump

  • The computer itself isn't the only element that makes up a centralized social media platform. Reddit, for example, isn't just a random giant server in the middle of a desert; it requires tons of additional costs and inefficiencies to run that business, like entire buildings and hundreds or thousands of people.

    When it comes to the electrical impact, concentration matters a lot, too. 100MWH consumed by a single data center stresses the infrastructure far more than the same total amount of power being consumed by 10,000 locations spread around the world.

    I built a simple tool to find things to do without the usual paywalls or account signups

  • I don't know the source, but this user uses it for a lot of their websites.

    hashtagsafety.getinfotoyou.com imageslim.getinfotoyou.com holidaysync.getinfotoyou.com and so on.

  • Watchtower replacement recommendations

    Jump

  • Quadlets. Auto update and auto rollback if the new image fails to start. Plus easier management overall, too.

  • If I buy a domain not from my own country, will it effect the useage at all?

    Jump

  • Yeah. I just needed to provide a US-based mailing address.

  • [Discussion] Would you buy a Steam smart phone?

    Jump

  • Probably not Steam OS, specially, but I'd love an alternative Linux-based smartphone OS.

  • Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices?

    Jump

  • Debian on my servers. No drama, it just works.

    Fedora on my laptop and desktop. Still solid, but quicker updates.

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

    Jump

  • For my gaming PC, I shut it down whenever I'm not actively using it.

    My laptop is usually just put to sleep, and only fully powered off if I don't plan to use it for a bit, or if I'm installing updates.

    My servers stay on 24/7.

  • Device Recommendations for Using Meshtastic to Send Home Assistant Notifications / LORA and Cycling

    Jump

  • Meshtastic supports mqtt, so that would probably be the easiest way to send messages to/from Home Assistant. Everything is done through the GUI, no coding knowledge required.

    I have the Heltec V3 personally, so I can vouch for that. I would imagine that any device would probably work, though, as long as it has Wi-Fi.

    For tracking, I'd look into Airtags or Moto Tags. They have a battery life measured in years instead of hours, and they're much smaller.
