Ive not looked into it so I don’t know what kind of challenges they face. Theoretically, I don’t see where the problem is though…

The primary input is a users “wishlist” of things they want. Each thing is then compared against a master list which confirms it exists and when it should be available (metadata). This is optional, but offers a more rich experience. Lastly, each thing is queried against a torrent index to try and find it. Its a relatively simple procedure. I guess the only question is whether books appear on these indices or not.

After a quick glance at the notice on their site, it seems metadata was the problem… or more precisely, no work was being done to move to a new provider. It kinda reads like they lost steam and stopped developing it.

Japan is nice to visit, not so nice to live there (there’s better and more easily approachable places). Racial discrimination is not new in Japan and their laws don’t indicate of any changes like western societies have been implementing. You aren’t getting lynched, but expect housing refusals, difficulties finding jobs, social exclusion, and stereotypes.
This is a gross overgeneralization though. If you find like minded people, they’ll accept you. Shit, if you grew up playing Final Fantasy, chances are, your peers there did too and any stereotype is quickly forgotten.
But in general, don’t be surprised when you don’t get served beer cause you ain’t Japanese.

A fuel pump is colloquially called a boschpump here. Even when its not made by bosch, they’ll tell you your boschpump is bad.

They’ll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.

Looks amazing. Cold and dark, yet warm and toned down, peaceful.

Yup, been porting all my music to navidrome the past few months and it’s pretty sweet. I like that there are native subsonic apps for most platforms (using tempo on android at the moment) and that navidrome also comes with its own web player to use on the fly.

Although my setup is much more simple, just using samba to get files to it and mp3tag to prepare the files if needed.
I initially used nextcloud with its music plugin (includes subsonic server) and its basically remote access + player + server in one, but its not as good imo. I’d rather use software that focuses on one thing and does it well.

I actually don’t! I’ll check it out if it fits my needs. Thanks!

I do host an instance of it but rarely use it. I’d love to see more in depth archival features like deep link archiving and archiving resources behind authorization. My use case is more archiving than bookmarking.

Full like my ass… Slovenia is missing, Croatia too. Honestly I’d wager all EU countries probably have the same suspension.

Never had an update break on headless Debian. Even when switching from 12 to 13. That shit is solid.
I’m getting used to arch on my main desktop and I still can’t figure out why the hell “sync” is the wording pacman uses for updating or why ‘y’ is refresh. Sync refresh upgrade my ass. I will admin, it is fast.

Looks good to me. Venting of gasses, ear protection, two hand safety. It’s not prefect and its menial work but it looks like they have certain standards which are upheld.

And someone has the audacity to tell me these are people.

Ahh, calmed me down. Never thought of doing anything like you’re doing it here, but I do like it.

Wow, you pull new images every time you boot up? Coming from a mindset of having rock solid stability, this scares me. You’re living your life on the edge my friend. I wish I could do that.

Indeed a good recommendation. I’ve not set it up yet but I’m probably going to do so in the near future.

I access it through a reverse proxy (nginx). I guess the only weak point is if someone finds out the domain for it and starts spamming the login screen. But I’ve restricted access to the domain for most of the world anyway. Wireguard would probably be more secure but its not always possible if like on vacation and want to use it on the TV there…

“You see your honor, they were wearing ski masks, and I’ve been taught by Hollywood that a group of people wearing ski masks in the middle of the day with a black van means they are up to no good. So I took it to my own hands to shoot these motherfuckers down.”

Music folder on a network share. Navidrome and plex and jellyfin all have access to that library, then pick your poison for the client app. Plex is also DLNA enabled so my dumber AVR can access it too. I mostly use tempo app on android though. I’m a pinch, I can use navidromes web UI player to listen. The plex and jellyfin are mainly just a backup and overkill cause I can’t make up my mind.
