11th gen i3 NUC, headless Debian.

7 or 8w idle for the server. Comes to about 10eur per year. I couldn’t justify using more without feeling like a hypocrite who also advocates for energy conservation.

• Music directory -> directory for each artist -> directory for each album
• All files are properly tagged, also contain album art
• Lrc or text lyrics files next to mp3/flac files
• Locally, directory is reachable on SMB network share and DLNA for network players
• Navidrome serves the whole thing for streaming on the internet when I’m not home and presents everything in a browser for convenience when no app is used, on android I listen with Tempus
• Nextcloud can also reach it
• lrcget used for lyrics, mp3tag used for tagging
• Generally deal with full albums only

Even ABS?

Boy, who ever posted this to lemmy does not understand the audience.

Its a complete UI rewrite. It signals that F-Droid: the repositories, the philosophy of open source app distribution and the titular app are here to stay and will continue to exist in these trying times of google and android enshittification.

When its released for everyone, afaik this month, you should try it and see how you like it. I’ve never tried droid-ify, but im positive F-Droid 2 will be an improvement over version 1.

My server got hacked once and was mining crypto! I noticed it when I heard the fans were at 100% when walking passed the room lol. Turns out, qbittorrent-nox used UPNP for its web admin endpoint enabled by default and qbittorrent can do many things like run custom scripts. My mistake was not changing its login credentials. Exposed my full system. Live and learn.

I remember a time when the gaming community’s darling, CDPR, sent lawyers to people’s homes, demanding they pay because they pirated The Witcher 2.

I don’t know how times have changes, but it definitely happened depending on when and where you lived.

It’s just a hard drive! What’s the problem?!

lrcget

I used this and it did exactly want I wanted, great tool. Thanks!

Anyone know a good way to automatically tag audio files with lyrics? Like how mp3tag pulls data from musicbrainz and tags tiles in a few clicks.

Thanks for the info. Will check it out.

I hope you one day add client sourced snapshot content so pages behind an authentication layer can be archived. Would also make for better snapshots on pages where pesky cookie pop-ups cover the screen…

You’re installing a headless system right? Ubuntu and Debian are going to have very similar if not downright identical day to day operating procedures, including installing and setting up new things. Ubuntu is going to have software packages coming from a different repository and they may be newer (though this rarely matters) and the initial install may be different. One is backed by a for profit corporation and one by a large open source community. Whenever you need help, guides for Debian will probably work on Ubuntu and vice versa.

For home self hosting use, it boils down to you own philosophy. In practice, it won’t really matter… they’re both really similar.

I proudly use Debian BTW.
