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.
As stated, my reason is that I was paying Spotify more money for less music and I was unhappy with that. You pointed out yourself that musicians barely get by in the streaming era so I would rather support them on Bandcamp (I know it has it’s own issues) or buying physical media whenever possible rather than pirating. Streaming platforms may make music you want to listen to seemingly affordable and accessible but that’s not the case for everyone. This is my personal experience.
it’s easier to just sub to something like Apple Music… literally $110/yr for all the music that exists.
As others have stated, not all music exists on every streaming platform. That alone is enough of a reason for me. I recently canceled my longtime Spotify subscription because the price kept increasing while my library kept decreasing. I actually don’t pirate music when I can help it because I’d rather support artists on Bandcamp or purchasing physical media directly. If I can’t do that then I head to Soulseek!
GIMP is fine but who can find me replacements for After Effects and Premiere Pro? I need software for video editing/motion graphics and these are the two apps keeping me shackled to Adobe for now…
I’ve had good luck accessing Channel4 via the NordVPN browser extension in Firefox. Using my desktop VPN (OpenVPN) stopped working some months ago as it was detected by the site but it seems the browser extension flies under the radar.
Not a playlist per se but Datafruits.fm is a cooperative online radio station
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
Sad if true 🥲
I could watch The Emperor’s New Groove all day, every day and never get tired.
Looks great! The iPod modding scene is alive and well. eBay is full of used/for-parts pods that often require a simple battery replacement to get up and running again. My favorite website for aftermarket parts and accessories is Elite Obsolete Electronics.
Yes this is exactly what I was hoping to learn! Bonus points for a solution that works with Siri. Thanks for the tips!!
Firefox is my choice. Can’t live without sync and I use quite a few extensions that can’t be found in other browsers.
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.
