That’s good to hear - I rely on HW transcoding for a couple situations and have heard from a couple Github issues that it’s not as good on Jellyfin - but that may not be the case now. Best thing I can probably do is set it up and see how it fares on my library!

I think we should find alternative ways, provided they don’t already exist, to ban predators and bad actors that doesn’t punish the entire userbase. Unfortunately, with initially ethical control comes state- and money- sponsored surveillance and oppression. It is seemingly impossible for the former to be free of the latter.

We’re already bombarded by services requiring users give up their age in order to be placed in data farming and advertising categories, with some banning those who cannot be farmed. Hell, every social media provider’s user age limit is 13 as per the EU GDPR – regulators only need to increase that age to 15/16 if they’re uncomfortable with its current level.

And no - I do not see a way to enforce age restriction without breaching basic rights to privacy. The only reason services demand your permission for cookies, device information, identifying data etc. is because the regulators mandate they cannot take your data without your permission. If they cannot find a way to sandbox the under-18 internet from the over-17 internet, then we should just keep the existing rules and expand support for victims. I dont believe there is an ethical solution for preventative measures.

I’m not qualified enough to answer that, but…

I tried setting up calls and while STUN/TURN works in WAN, but not LAN, Element are supposed to be making a replacement that makes voice and video calls entirely E2EE, aka Livekit, which I’ve completely failed to get working. So far I’ve given up on improving my instance’s features and stick to Element Classic. I hope you get it running well!

You mean when they went closed source? I know Jellyfin is all open source but apparently rougher UX all round… and Emby is miles better than Plex, not least because Plex has a scalp-worthy cost and too many paywalled features. Jellyfin to me is a purist alternative - libre software is ideal but you start to get a much weaker product.

And said data will never be used for fake CSAM or a library for the powerful to handpick their next victims

Essentially, musicians in an orchestra play the instruments, while the conductor plays the musicians. In both contexts they guide the instrument to make a specific note at a specific time, intensity and timbre, for a specific duration.

As for how the musicians interpret the movements, not sure. Perhaps it’s unique to every orchestra and relies on the familiarity between musician and conductor.

I highly recommend a Navidrome/Slskd/beets[lyrics]/Symfonium setup!

I have a Proxmox container running: Navidrome, that serves music in a Library Folder (B); Slskd, that serves a SoulseekQT web UI and downloads to a Download Folder (A); and beetbox beets program with the lyrics plugin installed via pipx that has config parameters set so that I can manually run it, it’ll detect and allow me to identify songs downloaded to Folder A, inject synced lyrics, and move them to an organised folder structure in Folder B.

• Navidrome doesn’t need organisation, I just do it to be neat.
• beets uses MusicBrainz and another I believe for song/album ID, and lrclib for synced lyrics
• I also have Lidarr set up to download from Soulseek with the Tubifarry plugin, get lyrics via lrclib and move to Folder B with the same structure as beets, but its metadata is heavily lacking and many images and artist song data is just nonexistent after about two months of “populating” (see below), so I recommend keeping the manual Soulseek/beets approach
• Again I recommend ignoring Lidarr or maybe using it for a visual library without downloading, but there is a pro, now I’ve configured it - Lidarr doesn’t often automatically request and then organise music, but when it does, the music is exactly the quality I requested. So at least Tubifarry is solid.
• You can use any Subsonic client but I find Symfonium to be incredible. Paying these devs is worth it!
• slskd can be configured to run beets after download I believe, but I haven’t figured that out and don’t plan to, for want of less complexity.

If we’re talking USA, I believe the separation of church and state was tantamount to its foundational laws.

I believe (after looking online) that hold-ups are stockings with the rubberized tops, meant to hold themselves up. Never works for my thick thighs

I know Jellyfin/Emby is compatible with music, but I’m advising you now to not try and cram all your media in one software. I recommend Navidrome as a music hoster. The con is that I haven’t written a guide for it, as I run Proxmox it was almost too easy to need one.

As you’re just starting out I’d recommend picking any Linux distro, putting the ISO on a USB drive and booting the server machine from it to install. Well, you know how to install an OS. Next, install Navidrome (guide) via the Linux or Docker guides, modify the config file to point to your music folder and change any setting you like, for example the port, and run it via systemctl or docker.

After that, login via browser with the given admin creds, make a user account for you and anyone else, install slskd for downloading and beets for correctly organising into the music directory, set up a reverse proxy to point to the Navidrome UI or connect via IP from any Subsonic client or web browser.

If you want you can install Proxmox from the start - I found it incredibly handy to make different containers and VMs to handle different projects, and in terms of Navidrome I got the install script from tteck, ran it, and once done I modified the toml variables to what I wanted and restarted the service. Plug & play.

Holy shit guys NKBTN went back

Build a multinational resistance of ‘extremist terrorists’ willing to kill and be arrested, team with Anonymous, and wait for Luigi Mangione to be ready to join us.

Because, as the US and UK governments would have us believe, the term ‘terrorist’ means someone who threatens not the lives of the innocent, but the possessions of the financially rich, morally corrupt and politically powerful.

But browsers have a marker for dangerous sites - surely Cloudflare, Amazon or Google should have a report system and deliver warnings at the base

Ah yeah, phone is a frequent sync with FolderSync, including deletions, and USB is a manual backup. A rental VPS is a good idea…

What do you use for 3-2-1? I try, so far I have my phone, backed up to a server HDD via SMB (Too poor for RAID-1 atm), and the very important stuff sent to a USB drive and returned to a drawer. Am I doing it right haha

The general knowledge of prefixes, suffixes and sentence structure of the language families/subgroups, in order to better grasp a basic understanding of a common language when I encounter it, and be more respective - for example knowing when to use -kun, Fraulein, señora, and courteous actions native to the locale

Right? My one has developed a nasty case of defective WiFi/Bluetooth chip. I’m convinced it’s a superficial, intentional break. Flashing it could well revert what Google’s doing to it

Aside from being hella slow, I just don’t like that it can’t use the same directories as my network shares and requires uploading. This script might help but honestly I just stick to the basic shares because of this

From my experience using a mailserver with no PTR and an ISP who likes to put their addresses on a PBL, it’s very good. Gmail tends to be the most annoying and wants that PBL listing removed or you’ll go to spam for new recipients, but other than that 10/10. I’d be interested to hear what your findings are if you do test it!
