  • I’m not the guy you replied to.

    I originally stored my music in Plex and used Plexamp. I have a large playlist downloaded from youtube which caused horrible performance issues in Plexamp. Navidrome is pretty much a read-only service. It can only read metadata from the files, not add any or manage them. For me this feels safer to expose to the internet since my docker container only has read-only access to all of my files. Even if someone broke into the service for some reason, they couldn’t do anything to my files.

    I don’t know if jellyfin has similar performance issues with large playlists since I already had navidrome set up by then.











  • Fusion360 is great.

    The two things I dislike about it though is the lack of linux support and the fact that you have to store your projects in their cloud. Personally I would prefer local only projects which I can easily include in a git repository without having to manually export my model every time I make a change to it.

    So far FreeCad seems like the best option for me in regards to those points but it is definitely less intuitive than Fusion360






  • I wouldn’t go as far as to say that without germans we wouldn’t have computers today. What he is probably referencing is the Zuse Z3, which can be considered one of the first computers.

    The main argument against it being the first is that it’s a mechanical design rather than electronic and that turing completeness was only achieved on it much later using a trick which the designer had not intended. Interestingly, ENIAC, which is considered the first computer by many, uses a decimal design. The Z3 on the other hand was already using binary.

    I took this info from the german wikipedia article on the Z3. I’m not sure if the english article goes into similar detail on those points.


  • In regards to getting your music on your phone, there is also the option of setting up a navidrome server or similar and streaming your files to your phone.

    Some apps like Symfonium (which is a paid app but I really like it) allow you to download the music to a cache so you can use it on the go without exposing your server to the web. If you do decide to actually stream from it, there is support for auto transcoding to a smaller format so you don’t burn through all your data streaming flac music
