Like another commenter said, Mopidy can do it all in one instance. It works, but I personally find its integration with MPD clients to be a bit clunky so I don’t use it all that much.
Personally I use Snapcast as an endpoint, plain MPD for local files, and navidrome for remote access to my library.
Snapcast supports Spotify endpoints, so I just switch to my Spotify stream when I want to listen to Spotify and to my MPD stream when I want to listen to local stuff.
This is more of an ecosystem than a single solution though, so it may not be what you’re looking for.
I suspect we’re all going to love it to death while watching it. Then we’re all going to get together and talk about the little things we didn’t like and why it wasn’t as good as the original set, get each other all worked up about the inadequacies, lament and watch the old seasons and eventually come to grips that all we have is all we have, we’ll watch the new episodes a few more times and fall in love with them too.
Not super old, but my homebrew 3DS gets a ton of usage. A while back I installed every ROM I could want onto an SD card, which has brought years of entertainment.
I wasn’t even using Wine. I installed it and launched through Steam and the entire process was as seamless as if it were on Windows. Valve is doing great work.
I will agree it’s limiting, but it isn’t anywhere close to confusing. The one thing I will say is that some app settings are tucked away in the iOS settings app, which I would prefer them to be in the actual app.
Both are correct. You can hand an iPhone to a 3 year old and they’ll figure it out. If you’re used to Android and care about changing things or accessing files, iPhone is a pain in the butt.
There’s always a learning curve going from one thing to another. Like you said, going from Android to iOS, learning the UI and where things are placed may take some time to get used to at first. I went from Android to an iPhone 12 a couple years ago, and it took some time to learn. Same goes for switching from iOS to Android. That being said, it doesn’t mean the UI is confusing.
Point my domains name servers to Cloudflares and enable email routing. I can then create any email address in that domain and have it forward to any of my email addresses. Works great when signing up for accounts. The only thing you can’t do is fire off email FROM said email address
All devices backup to my NAS either in realtime or at short intervals throughout the day. I use recycling bins for easy restores for accidentally deleted files.
My NAS is set up on a RAID for drive redundancy (Synology RAID) and does regular backups to the cloud for active files.
Once a day I do a hyperbackup to an external HDD.
Once a month I backup to an external drive that lives offsite.
Backups to these external HDDs have versioning, so I can restore files from multiple months ago, if needed.
The biggest challenge is that as my NAS grows, it costs significantly more to expand my backups space. Cloud storage and new external drives aren’t cheap. If I had an easy way to keep a separate NAS offsite, that would considerably reduce ongoing costs.
Depending on how much storage do you need (>30 TB?), it may be cheaper to use a colocation service for a server as an offsite backup instead of cloud storage. It’s not as safe, but it can be quite cheaper, especially if for some reason you’re forced to rapidly download a lot of your data from the cloud backup. (Backblaze b2 costs $0.01/gb downloaded).
Do you have an example or website I could look at for this ‘colocation service’?
Currently using idrive as the cloud provider, which is free until the end of the year, but I’m not locked into their service. Cloud backups really only see more active files (<7TB), and the unchanging stuff like my movie or music catalogue seems reasonably safe on offsite HDD backups, so I don’t have to pay just to keep those somewhere else.
First I’d like to apologize because I originally wrote less than 30TB instead of more than 30TB, I’ve changed that in the post.
A colocation is a data center where you pay a monthly price and they’ll house your server (electricity and internet bandwidth is usually included unless with certain limits and if you need more you can always pay extra).
Here’s an example. It’s usually around $99/99€ per 1U server. If you live in/near a big city there’s probably at least a data center that offers colocation services.
But as I said, it’s only worth it if you need a lot of storage or if you move files around a lot, because bandwidth charges when using object storage tend to be quite high.
For <7 TB it isn’t worth it, but maybe in the future.
