  • Look at dietpi. There is a regular pc version (x86).

    Their own “we do it for you” software choice is somewhat limited, but everything is really easy imo. You can always install other things they don’t offer, with apt or docker or … But the basic dietpi system is a super reliable, super lightweight, easy to manage OS.

    For the music: dietpi+jellyfin+ tailscale+finamp on phone. Tailscale on phone, point it to only use VPN for finamp. It works incredibly stable and reliable for me. I tried many other “make it work remotely” options first, tailscale is just magic. If it’s only for streaming music to your phone, I don’t consider tailscale a privacy issue at all.


  • They basically reinvented the Nazi V1 with their Flamingo, and although only small % get through, it’s devastatingly accurate against refineries.

    Meanwhile, Russia uses the old Nazi strategy of launching very expensive rockets at apartments with civilians in cities, doing 0 strategic damage to Ukraine war capabilities, just like the Nazi V1 and later V2 was used and was relatively useless despite its high price.

    Oh, and Ukraine can shoot at almost all Russia’s refineries and weapons factories, but Russia can’t do it back because Ukrainian can always import from refineries and factories in France, Germany, etc, beyond the NATO border…








  • Musicbrainz Picard, there is no better user friendly solution.

    Yes, it can seem like a lot of work, but you can also look at the flip side: you can learn a whole lot about the music you like in the process.

    If music metadata is missing for stuff you have and like, add it to musicbrainz yourself. No, it isn’t particularly fun, but someone has to do it. I do it sometimes for more “local” albums of which I own the physical record or CD.

    If shit is really messed up and you have a historic collection of mp3s from back in the days when getting a full album took a long time: don’t be scared to throw stuff out and source it again. It’ll likely be much higher quality for same or smaller filesize and have better metadata from source already, which makes using musicbrainz a lot easier. And what took many hours back then takes seconds to minutes now.


  • Yeah sad they’re stopping it. I used it to easily access all services when not home… Jellyfin, audio bookshelf, dashboards, nextcloud… All worked rather well on it with very little effort (just had to turn the meshnet feature off and on again on phone once in a while). I don’t think there is any other company offering anything as simple as this was…
