Like you I try to support artists by purchasing physical media or releases on Bandcamp. Outside of that I get my music on Soulseek, through torrents, Usenet, and occasionally XDCC. I don’t need lossless files and even if I download FLACs I transcode them to 320kbps MP3 before they go on my iPod anyway. The harder it becomes to acquire music legally the less bad I feel about downloading with abandon.
Awesome! If you do I’d love to hear how it goes. I’m sure I’m not the only person trying this but I haven’t found much online from other users yet.
Streaming my own music was the reason I got into self-hosting in the first place and I’ve been satisfied with Navidrome for over a year now. My preference is to stream via an app on my phone but I’ve made accounts for a couple friends and they stream happily on multiple devices using the browser interface.
I’m a MacBook user and I’ve been very happy with AlDente. It took some reading to understand all the features but I really believe it’s made a difference in the health of my battery.
I’ve been searching for music recommendation and playlist generator alternatives to Spotify and this looks great!
For what it’s worth, I have this problem sometimes when an album has multiple releases and you can choose which release to pull tags from via the context menu in Picard. There’s also a pretty powerful scripting language that you can use to specify the directory and file re-naming structure as well. It took me a while to get my structure set up properly but once I did it’s been a life saver in keeping my files organized.
If there’s something in particular you’re trying to achieve that’s not working I’d be happy to try and help!
I’ll be taking on graphic design, branding, and motion graphics projects. I don’t have an online portfolio at the moment as I’m still getting everything together but if anyone is in need of design work they can certainly send me a message.
I quit my awful office job in September after 10 years to focus on recovery from acute health issues. I’ll be freelancing in 2024 and even though I know I made the right decision I’m secretly terrified that I will fail. Just gotta keep going!
If you’re printing PLA then 80°C bed temp is way too hot and probably contributing to warping, lower the temp to 60°C or so. The filament roll should have suggested temperatures labeled on it somewhere.
Yes! Access to my files via web browser from any machine without having to install software was what initially drew me in, but it’s replaced almost all the CAD software I’ve tried including Fusion260 and Freecad.
I’ve moved away from free personal Fusion360 to OnShape and it suits my needs just fine. The free tier makes all my models public but I don’t mind, and it runs much more smoothly in my browser than Fusion ever did on my desktop.
The install script does generate docker compose and env files that you can edit. Others have suggested alternative radio options so I hope you find one that works for you :)
I actually just got Azuracast running in a container for the first time yesterday. Where are you running into trouble with the script?
I can’t remember the last time I saw a Raspberry Pi for $40, the demand still has prices sky-high
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for as a reference.
This is wonderful, thanks for sharing your project! It’s nice to see hobbyists building projects too 😄
