After setting up Navidrome and being very happy with it apart from the web interface i went looking for a better one so i’ve looked at a few of these now. Aonsoku does seem to be one of the better ones.

Though i still feel Feishin is currently the most fleshed out and is still getting active development.

It has multi select everywhere, lots of options for sending things to playlists and queues. You can have the playlist docked to the RHS. You can drag stuff around in the queue. Just lots of nice quality of life options.

This sounds really interesting, will check out, i use bandcamp a lot and do have trouble in this area.

Ah thanks for the reply. That is a shame about DX12, i must have not tried any of these cos i’ve found all games i pick run great (i mostly play 2D non intensive indie games). I did play some Death Stranding and was very surprised by how well it ran!

I’ll go for AMD if i can next time (i’ve been doing well getting hand me downs from friends who love getting the latest stuff for themselves!)

(Perhaps asking silly questions in order to understand, I’ve never totally understood the nvidia driver numbers and what they mean, i just kinda installed some and they seem to work and i just forgot about them, i can run the modest games i like)

So just for clarity the 580 drivers will support my 980Ti right? How long will those be supported for? Will there come a time that i will not be able to properly use this card with linux and run (modest games) games on it?

Another vote for Navidrome here, i use the Tempo android client for it and i use the feishin web front end for desktop because it’s better than the default navidrome web front end.

I’ve found Tempo to be one of the better alternatives you can find on f-droid

You do make some good points here about available docs. I just had trouble running GNOME on a 4GB laptop.

I’d second this, but also add that you probably want to use something like XFCE for your desktop environment due to the amount of RAM you have: https://fedoraproject.org/spins

I agree after switching to Navidrome i tried a few of the apps and found Tempo to be the best

I too have noticed this about them over the years, I avoid their videos about stuff like this now because their “solutions” are, like you say, so very neo-liberal.

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a few years now and it runs anything I’ve picked without issues (even bigger stuff like Baldurs Gate 3). In fact I’m surprised how smooth and trouble free the experience is.

Somewhat off topic but I was totally convinced that Funkwhale had died so I ditched my pod and moved to Navidrome, I wasn’t using federation so I wasn’t really the intended audience. I’m glad they are still going though. But personally I’ve had a better experience with Navidrome with Feishin as a player.

But there is a load of really dodge black metal that is much more cryptic, not being blatant but made by Nazis like Deathspell Omega, Mgla, Drudkh and Winterfyllth. I’ve been in the scene a long time and been fooled by some of these.

Two very good points here. The second is the one I’ve been thinking about recently. It’s about considering what format your data is kept in and if you can usably get that out and implement it somewhere else without too much work.

Yea I use a 4GB RPi 4 and it handles several services really well, all running in docker: Grimoire Navidrome Traefik Seafile + Collabora integration Gitea Vaultwarden Radicale

It idles just under 2GB most of the time so it’s doing well.

Same but it was Duke Nukem 3D for us!

I really think the book Always Coming Home by Ursula Le Guin is very good on this subject, they have a sort of metaphorical religion created themselves, with many of the good community building aspects on religion.

I personally think there is much good to learn from the ways of Buddhism and Daoism, both their core ideas and some of the practice.

I use both Seafile and Syncthing for various things.

I’ve managed to setup seafile ok behind traefik as a reverse proxy. Seafile has a basic web front end and allows you to integrate with Collabora for editing open document files. Its fine to just shut down the docker and copy the database I’ve found for backup. Or you can copy the files themselves, if you don’t care about the change history (which I don’t). I have as script to do this each night. Seafood isn’t too hefty and runs well on an RPi, even the collabora integration does.

Syncthing is a really good piece of software and I use this to share files from my RPi to my phone, but bare in mind by default its send&receive both sides so its not suitable for backups in that state.

Let me know if you want to know more.

The article says that stat about one instance not the entire fediverse…

They are so off the mark its crazy, the future of this is streaming games services. Yea it’ll be running on windows or linux at the other end and that isn’t what Apple wants but its the future.
