Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

I’ve been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I’ve been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven’t been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists. When I set up...

HotChickenFeet ,

I realize it’s not a satisfactory solution, since you won’t be able to use facilities like artist/album/etc to explore.

But in navidrome I think you can make a smart playlist based on file path, which you could use to include all of YOUR songs in the playlist if it is in a different root path.

Also symfonium

HotChickenFeet ,

And in this setup you can fairly easily use gluetun to force all its traffic through VPN

HotChickenFeet ,

Correct.

With normal split tunneling you can normally do something like this anyways, but it can be finicky to configure, and easy for something like DNS, etc to access the internet without your VPN in the middle. And sometimes if your VPN fails to connect, you could be connecting without your VPN.

By using docker with gluetun + qbit (I believe docker images for this setup exist already) you can force it to use only your VPN, and if the connection fails then your bittorrent client can’t connect. With gluetun all your bittorrent traffic would flow through your VPN, but there’s a way it can be configured to allow only your webui port to be accessed locally on your network

Anyone with Navidrome should consider trying this. It provides a means to create & modify the smart playlists graphically & makes it easier to rate songs with stars vs the web UI

WebOS app for me has been working like a champ for a long while now. It’s so nice that it just works with my existing remote and everything.

Blocked all traffic to my TV at the router except local, and now it’s a beautiful, free beast. Love the jellyfin crew.

HotChickenFeet ,

I can’t speak for any specific version - but for awhile it was the same for me, but they eventually made a WebOS official release so I no longer have to fuss with developer mode.

Since it can’t reach the Internet since that point ( maybe a year ago?) I can’t vouch for if any update would have broken that

  • Server - Desktop Tower

    • Build - Intel server board & CPU based on old serverbuild naskiller guide
      • OS on SSD
      • ZFS ON 8 6TB DRIVES, YIELDING ~36TB of storage, recoverable with up to two failed drives
    • Runs (via docker)
      • Navidrome (webui used daily @ work, dsub on phone, feishin on desktop)
      • Jellyfin (used almost exclusively locally on my TV, occasionally to watch with friends on web)
      • Nextcloud (used occasionally, mostly backs up password files, etc or to share. Thinking about replacing.)
      • QBitTorrent with glutun VPN
      • Audiobookshelf - used frequently for audiobooks. Occasionally for podcasts. Often more convenient to use antennapod/pocket casts on phone for active podcasts)
      • Kavitas - used seldom. Thinking about stopping. I like using obps on my rooted kindle to access my library.
      • Changedetection.io -watch some sites for new products, etc
      • Kiwix (local wikipedia copy I use shortcuts in FF locally to search for things)
      • Homepage (local links I use on local machines to my services)

  • Raspberry pi

    • Adguard home & unbound - block most garbage for any traffic from my home

Thoughts - I’m considering downsizing. I don’t really need all that much space, and it can be a headache at times. With drive replacement costs on top of power (~$320 a year) I consider either going to a vps or downsizing to what could run on a small compute like the n100 or a raspberry pi5, etc.

HotChickenFeet ,

Proton, some of their paid exit nodes support P2P

HotChickenFeet ,

Thanks! I need to look more into what the power implications of 8 drives is - they never spin down, so I assume they are a non-trivial portion of my power consumption.

That said, I’ve been considering upgrading to something recent and low power anyways. It would be a good opportunity to sneak in some useful features too,

  • Maybe the possibility of transcoding a video stream
  • USB3 (not a huge deal)
  • Non VGA display (useful, for when connection issues arise)
  • Audio jack (I could use navidrome jukebox mode!)

Which the old hardware wouldn’t support without adapters, cards, etc.

Responding to myself…

Datasheet reports 7.05 idle watts (~11w at active random read) so depending on what it considers idle, it’d be 8*7.05|11= 56.4:88W

Server clocks in at ~102W. Halving the drives would reduce the power by 27 : 43%

And in theory other components (motherboard, CPU…) must be using anywhere from (102-88) :(102-56.4)= 14 : 45.6 W.

What's (are) the funniest/stupidest way(s) you've broken your linux setup?

Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...

Installed python3 before it was made the native python on the dist. Half broke everything, including apt & python. So I installed it, and then everything was broken. Finally got python3 reinstalled, and lived with it kindof working & awful distribution updates.

I have finally freed myself of that prison last month, by nuking everything and starting fresh.

HotChickenFeet ,

I’ll happily say I must have overlooked something, but I did try using update-alternatives. I don’t remember all the nuts and bolts from the start, but it involves python3 and distribution upgrades. I spent a good number of nights over the years trying to unmess it up, and am happy to never think about it ever again.

HotChickenFeet ,

Is .com fixed in some way to prevent the same scaling? I thought it was basically the domain sellers increasing the prices year over year

HotChickenFeet ,

Its a meme at this point, but I tried to install arch. Ran into display issues during install and couldn’t progress. Gave up and did Ubuntu instead.

I know there’s supposed to be some helper stuff out there now to make it go smoothly, but don’t think I am motivated enough to retry ever.

HotChickenFeet ,

So much yes. Highly recommend. I could listen to Dan Carlin go on about a topic endlessly.

HotChickenFeet ,

I’ve only just started looking myself, but theres agora online

agoranomic.org/index.html (the hamburger menu has a how to play option)

Also: blognomic.com

I'm locked out of my 6 year old Chipotle account because they now say my email address is invalid when I login. Here is me asking for their help: (lemmy.world)

I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

HotChickenFeet ,

I feel like using a@[IPv6:2001:db8::1] is asking for trouble everywhere online.

But its tempting to try out, not many people would expect this.

Is linux good for someone tech illererate.

Now i’ve been considering moving to linux. I don’t have much of a history using a computer and find it tougher to use than my phone. But I also really appreciate the foss movement. I’ve currently got an old laptop running windows 11 I think and it would prolly speed up with linux too. But I’m afraid I’d fuck smth up...

HotChickenFeet ,

In fairness, I frequently forgot my steamdeck root password, because the need to use it was so few and far between. If you’re always in game mode, then there’s almost 0 reason that I’d need my password.

HotChickenFeet ,

This doesn’t make sense to me. If you go through history class, you don’t have verifiable proof of nearly anything, you have a textbook. I’m not questioning the existence of the first president of the US, the civil war, ww1, etc. No first party sources ever came to verify them to me. Maybe I question if something played out exactly the same, but I trust big events happened.

So why specifically is the holocaust a myth? Or does 20% of the population just think all history is made up, and the holocaust denial is a symptom?

HotChickenFeet ,

So it seems like it’s not really that there are fewer surviving holocaust victims; rather that for some reason holocaust deniers already existed (in sufficient quantity) & are somehow influential enough to pass that belief along to a substantial number of youths, so it persists.

HotChickenFeet ,

FWIW, in the US, seems like you’re ‘guaranteed’ that you’ll keep 30 hours worth of minimum wage per week. the minimum wage is abysmal, so ~870 a month, which isn’t really enough to survive on in many places. I suspect it would be terribly difficult to pay rent, gas/electric, buy food, pay for public transport and/or gas.

I think this person was dumb. I think they fucked up badly. I think garnishment could make sense if the terms were more reasonable. But I think the current terms could absolutely be detrimental to ones survival.

Title III also protects individuals by limiting the amount of earnings that may be garnished in any workweek or pay period to the lesser of 25 percent of disposable earnings or the amount by which disposable earnings are greater than 30 times the Federal minimum hourly wage prescribed by Section 6(a) (1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. This limit applies regardless of how many garnishment orders an employer receives. The Federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Source

Many states ban vote solicitation and signs within 50-200 ft of polling locations. I’m sure it’s only for state+ level votes, but it seems to me like having signs saying to vote NO directly on and adjacent to the voting machine for a legally protected union vote should be not legal…

36 TB server:

  • Nextcloud (a little heavier than I’d like considering something that’s just filesharing)
  • Jellyfin
  • Audiobookshelf
  • Kavita
  • Authentik
  • N.eko with protection via authentik (rabbit clone so I can watch things with friends even if it’s not on jellyfin)
  • Homepage so I can remember everything -_-

Raspberry pi:

  • Adguard home, which router pushes all traffic dns through
  • Mopidy - hooked the pi to my speakers, can start playing via web interface. Don’t love it, but it’s working.
