Ask questions. Either people will or won’t engage but if you have any credibility with them, they have a little bit of buy in to listen to your shit. Then you just might get them curious.
Just the other day I was walking through our local VA campus and I was curious about why every roof of the buildings built in the 1920s has a bunch of little house looking vent things on the top. I think I know the answer but I’m still curious about it.
Probably not a good example of something to spark curiosity with, but you never know what will.
The more your car is computerized, the less control you have over it as the end user. The best cars on the road are the ones with no touch screens and no gps tracking bull crap. Analog speedometers and tachometers are just as good as a digital one and can be repaired easily if they fail. Try repairing your newfangled vehicle when over half of its functionality shits the bed because theres an error with the console software.
I can recommend Navidrome. Organizing of library with Lidarr and (Beets)[beets.io]
I’m using Beets for tagging because of the Discogs plugin.
Lidarr for visual overview of the library.
Lidarr can be used for tagging too and it does have a web interface.
Cleaning a messed up library with Beets is tough and depends on how the individual files are sorted. Start importing/organizing a small part or some albums to find out how it works. And a backup of data is always recommend!
you need to be organised with beet. Import your music one album after an other. use “-t” to be sure that beet is guessing albums correctly. It is lot of work, but once it done it is smooth sailing.
I used www.blisshq.com to organize my music library and it destory my setup moved songs to separated albums and for example one album got splited into separate random folders.
You are right Beets doesn’t allow for custom id3v2 fields.
However it has quite a lot of fields ‘’’beet fields’’’
You can write them specifically using ‘’’-F’’’

I’m not aware of a publisher nor producer field though.
It was pretty rough around the edges last time I used it. Just reinstalled it and it definitely looks polished compared to last time. I haven’t had the chance to really use it with anybody.
I had never heard of it prior to your post. Looks interesting, but it will be hard to get enough people to use it. It took years for most of my contacts to make the move from Whatsapp to Signal.
It took me about a decade to get people I needed to contact just onto WhatsApp from fbmessanger so I could delete Facebook. I’m never going to get people to move to a new messaging app.
I managed to get my immediate family (and my sister's husband) onto Threema, the extended family is on Whatsapp with zero chance of switching away.
On the other hand, one cousin's husband can't stop spamming the group chat with pics of their daughters. Not just "special event, here's a pic of each at their best" or whatever, but multiple. fotos. daily., sometimes videos too... As a consequence, I've permanently muted that whatsapp group and only occasionally take a peek at it.
Roon is expensive, but if you are a serious music fan, it’s 100% worth it.
I describe it to others as like talking to a super knowledgeable music store employee. It knows so much about each track, each musician, each band… cross-referencing them all, so you can go down a rabbit hole of hyperlinks learning about the music. It seamlessly mixes playlists across streaming and locally stored music. It does a decent job of streaming around the house to Apple, android, and audiophile devices. They just added an app that enables remote listening to your locally stored music.
I have active Roon subscribtion though most issue is that Remote connection works clunky. The desktop app is only on windows and also Siri on iOS do not support song selection with voice commands.
Love Roon. I also have Navidrome in my server but found out a docker image of RoonServer and my gosh, I love it. I need a webapp to control it from my Linux desktop, otherwise, perfect (and expensive).
Because it’s hard to convince people you know, to abandon what they know and like, and migrate to some other platform they neither perceive as superior, or have their own friends/contacts there.
Congrats on your first setup. I would recommend making sure you have fail2ban set up and test it. If you’re keeping anything important, get backups going… I worry for new self-hosters that may have a security issue and lose their hard work to a vulnerability.
I have fail2ban running as well, didn‘t mention it in the op. Also closed all ports beside 80 and 443, which are routed through my NPM proxy. SSH is allowed, but login only with ssh key, no pw authentication.
So far it‘s running well, but I expect things to break when I‘ll need to update parts of it. I have a snapshot from which i can reinstall, but recurring backups need yet to be set up.
Sounds great! By the way, if you’re using docker, be careful not to accidentally have a container open a port on all interface. Even if you have a firewall configured on the machine, sometimes docker can punch a hole without you knowing. Might be a good idea to run a port scan from an external computer from time to time just to makes sure no unwanted open ports.
Wild theory, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they change to iced-rs when they realize they can’t do the work needed to get elf to do exactly what they want, and instead can ride off of system76’s insane development accomplishments in their new rust based ecosystem of desktop components.
Reasons it might happen: the blog post specifically mentioned wanting a new ui-toolkit that worked well with rust or go, but at that time s76 hasn’t announced or dived into developing iced-rs more. I think it even mentioned hoping that s76 would build an alternative.
Sorry for the double post that appeared for a while, lemmy was slow/malfunctioning, I deleted the other post and unfortunately by doing so also the answer of @InverseParallax sorry.
I’ve got a hacked pyqt5 script that does this, I doubt it’s what you want. Adding mysql support and eventually want to be able to have something like limited math functions so you can add all the values in a tree for stuff like total cost.
If you find something better I’d be real interested, I really want web and preferably app support.
