Add Man Go.

Lovely to see you share this!

Good idea!

Brands of what?

Thanks for mentioning SingleFile. I’m not using it right now.

I reckon the problem with that is… what’s the source for the recommendations and then what’s the sink?

Like, first, how do you get all that information about music, type of music, musicians, year of release etc?

Then where do you store it? Then you come to the problem of building a robust recommendation engine. Sure that’s one step that seems solvable with open source. Not easy. Solvable.

Then, what does a person do with the recommendations? So you have to build ways to export to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, FOSS music solutions. Perhaps plugins are the way to solve this.

Not saying it’s not doable. Just difficult.

Though I also believe someone would have tried to tackle it in their capacity in the FOSS world. Don’t know how Fedi plays into this. Maybe an online radio station?

Spotify scrobbles to LastFM. Maybe they have an API or export solution? All you would have to do is play your playlist straight through once after connecting to LastFM.

I don’t know about importing it further as I don’t know what Navidrome is.

Good for a play through or two.

It’s self hosting. Is it home lab? Nope. Though plenty of people use VPS as a way to terminate their VPN connections and such.

Hey, my knee jerk answer was what I have always dreamed of doing it if I was immortal - cozy up with all the books ever written.

Please help me understand this. Let’s say I’m a daredevil. My job is to jump from planes and ride bikes over running helicopters, etc.

So let’s say I’m prepping for my latest stunt and there’s a high probability that it’ll kill me. What will be the alternative? Do I just, not do the stunt? Or rather, fate finds a way for that stunt to not happen, perhaps. Maybe by breaking my leg one day before the event?

OR, I can tweak that in my favor and say that there are two options - jumping over a line of burning school buses vs. over a line of running helicopters. Then am I triggering fate to pick only one of these two options (and not the option of breaking my leg a day before)?

If the latter is the case, then I would set up ever increasing death defying stunts and flood the betting market with bets that I won’t die. After all, either stunt is impressive. If the betting process won’t cut it, at least the Red Bull YouTube channel viewership will bring in the moolah for me.

If it is the former, where fate just chickens out and causes me some minor harm (or distraction) so I don’t go get myself killed the next day or the next moment, then what’s the point? Live your life and accept that if you stub your toe, it’s so that you don’t kill yourself of an embolism later. If you miss the bus, assume the bus would have fallen in the water had you been on it.

$28 a year??? Woah.

My recommendation (sorry for the delay in response) would be not to use it as a base. Use the image as such. It has in-built features for screenshots, for using puppeteer, etc. So just use those. Any issues with that approach?

By the way, if you get XVfb running for puppeteer (a little further down in the readme), let me know.

Try using this following project as your base image before throwing puppeteer on it (or use the inbuilt functionality to take screenshots). It includes Jessie Frazelle’s seccomp profile. If you want nightmares, go read her blogpost about it. Otherwise just let it be and follow the setup guide in the readme of this project -

But how will he carry his briefcase and lunch?

You wanna know a fun way to do this?

GitHub (and I think Gitlab too) supports you running their runner within your own infra. It’s literally a binary that needs permissions and space. Then, you can tell your git repo to use that runner to run docker compose and as part of the “build” process, deploy you container to the same or an in-network machine.

This is not secure, it’s probably going to involve a lot of hard coding of local IPs or server names etc. But you can make it work.

I use this way to get a Win11 PC to run some regular containers on itself. Works like a charm.

It’s called the iKnow Digital access library card. Maybe they made it free to get during the pandemic?

Regardless, $40 seems to be a steal considering the cost of audible and other such services. Paid library cards being offered itself seems like a great service!

Which country are you in? In the US, Harris County Public Library in Texas gives free access to basically anyone with an email address.

Adobe. Someone said they pay $60 a month for it, and are locked in for the year, which they didn’t even know about! All for editing photos. Just editing photos.
