Navidrome works best with a library that is already well-organized, but it can do some things in terms of library management, particularly with the use if plugins.

There are some good tools for organizing your library, such as beets, Picard, etc. I did not have good luck with beets because I find it a bit complex for a CLI tool, and a lot of my library is composed of singles and mixes. It seems to do better with whole albums. I use Strawberry player for local library management, which has tools like Picard built in, and also connects to lots of things like lastfm if you want. You can also add lyrics with a tool like lrcget.

If you have existing playlist files saved, Navidrome will automatically import them. It can also make new playlists, and there are plugins for smart playlists, etc. Once you set up Navadrome, you shouldn’t have to touch it very much because it will automatically monitor and update your library if you set it up correctly, which is not difficult at all It’s a little bit more specialized and so has a little bit better setup for music than Jellyfin, in my opinion. And it has far more front-ends on various platforms.

Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.

If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.

You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which is dead simple.

Aren’t immortal wizards supposed to change their identity every 20 years or so?

Yeah. They’re cheap and easy to clean up.

Don’t understand the downvotes at all

Yep. It is a time-suck to see an interesting new project only to check it out and find out it’s AI slop. For some apps, it doesn’t bother me… They may not require the access or stability of critical apps. Other times, I just can’t trust a slop app, and it would be very helpful to know which it is in advance.

There is a conflict between confidentiality and mandatory reporting. The ideal of confidentiality is that anything you say in private that you don’t want recorded or repeated should be kept private. The ideal of mandatory reporting is that if anyone finds out about a crime a person has committed, it should be reported for the sake of justice.

The solution is that we limit both of them in different situations. Confidentiality is generally limited to those who have a crucial and necessary role in keeping information confidential. In other words, those positions or professions that are deemed essential by society and which require confidentiality to function properly. That’s lawyers, medical professionals, and in some cases, religious professionals.

Mandatory reporting is generally limited to those who are in a position that allows access to vulnerable individuals. That’s teachers, social workers, police officers, and sometimes also medical professionals or religious professionals.

Because those include some of the same categories, the law gets very specific and sometimes even contradictory in different jurisdictions.

An addage I live by: An expert is someone who has already made every mistake in an area.

Same in Korea, but it’s actually effective:

Part of what caught my attention is a feature that the current version removed with a note that it was being re-worked for the next release. It has been reliable for me, but there is also regular activity in the bug reports.

I connect everything with Tailscale, which may or may not work on your work network, depending on how locked down the network is. I never had an issue.

The proper way to eat salad is with chopsticks. Ever tried to pick up a flat piece of lettuce with a fork? A chopped carrot? A crispy crouton??

Used to live there. Can confirm.

No problem. By the way, this is a HUGE improvement over dawarich IMO. On my system, it just works extremely smoothly and connecting it with other services worked seamlessly.

I’m now using OwnTracks on mobile, and it was easy to connect to Immich and see my photos on the timeline. This is great! Thanks for sharing it.

Home Assistant isn’t FOSS? How?

I’m trying this out right now. I’ve been using dawarch but it still has some ironing out to do.

FYI, the wget command pulled the github web page HTML where the file is hosted instead of the file itself. Weird. Easy fix but I’m guessing that’s a GitHub issue.

Dude coulda just made universe twice as big but gotta do you, big T.

As others have said, LLMs simply do not have such a potential.

On the other hand, we have fully mapped simple brains, so it seems likely that we may be able to simulate a complete human brain at some point in the distant future. You can download a nematode brain yourself if you want.
