Yea, after another hour today I’ve decided that my time is better spent elsewhere, so I’m just going to stick with Navidrome and not worry too much about losing out on the federated music idea for now.

I gave up on funk whale about 6 months ago and was loving navidrome, but hadn’t realised the lack of library separation. Thankfully that doesn’t bother me too much. I’ll give this another go and see how I get on though if I can find some time over the weekend
That’s not quite true, water charges are part of your council tax. You get a discount if you have a septic tank because then dealing with the waste water is your responsibility.
But you pay a flat rate based on your property’s estimated value in 1991.
And Northern Ireland, but let’s be honest, Scotland has it’s own issues with nationalised bodies cough ferries cough so we Scots can’t sit here with too smug a grin on our faces. I’m sure Northern Ireland has it’s own issues in this field as well, but I don’t live there so I pay less attention to that.
I broadly agree with nationalising critical infrastructure like water, electricity and gas, some other key infrastructure like railways, the post office and probably a few others I can’t think of at this moment in time but it’s far from perfect and isn’t going to make everything perfect overnight.
I’m more interested in matrix having worked with meta to actually bridge from a matrix home server to WhatsApp. Thanks to the EU’s DMA WhatsApp were required to do something.
Element has been working with Meta since the end of last year to help test their DMA interoperability (given we’re probably the world leader in interoperable end-to-end-encrypted communication) - and Matrix announced last month at FOSDEM that Element has successfully integrated 1:1 chats between Matrix and WhatsApp via the DMA APIs, while maintaining end-to-end encryption (having implemented full Signal compatibility in vodozemac). We’ve also formally requested interoperability with WhatsApp, as of yesterday. https://element.io/blog/the-eu-digital-markets-act-is-here/ (That full post is quite a long read and some of the technical bits went way over my head as I’m more focussed on dev-ops than the inner workings of the protocol)
As for how it will look, further down that same post there is the following:
The biggest concern right now is around “reachability”: whether DMA interoperability will default to off or on for EU citizens - and so whether users on Element would even be able to contact users on WhatsApp without the WhatsApp user having to explicitly opt in in advance. According to the public information available at WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Work With Other Encrypted Messaging Apps | WIRED on Feb 6th: “WhatsApp users who opt in will see messages from other apps in a separate section at the top of their inbox.”. We all know the power of defaults, especially when applied to competition law, and we’re interested to see what the final user experience is.
So sadly it looks as though you may be able to contact people if they’ve opted in for cross platform messaging, but they’ll need to look somewhere else for your messages.
I currently use matrix and have bridges for discord, WhatsApp, RCS, Google messages and possibly a couple of others running so that I can just chat to whoever I want from one place and not care which platform they’re using.
I’m going to choose not to answer that for two reasons…
But yes I’m in a position where I was more willing to pay for the power than I was to buy additional storage space as I’m hitting the top of what I can do without significant expense.
Ah, fair point. I don’t use torrents, my media comes from usenet, so that doesn’t need to factor into my thinking.
My (overly?) Complex setup does allow me to resort to torrents as a last resort, but that happens on another machine outside my home network and gets synchronised into my home via a one-way syncthing share, so even on the rare occasion I have to resort to torrents I can leave it on that server seeding for a few weeks or months.
I’ve just recently started using tdarr to convert all of my media to x265on 14/02 and so far I’ve saved 4.02 TB of what was 28.12TB media collection. (The number isn’t a true reflection though because new episodes and shows have been added to that library since I started)
I’m letting tdarr manage the conversion process and once up and running meant that my NAS, desktop, my NUC and a mini pc are all plodding through and converting when I’m not using them for other things.
If you are worried about the disk space being taken and have some CPU time you can devote to the conversion process then I’d suggest it’s worth looking into tdarr.
I don’t have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?
Edit: ooft, that’s a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can’t contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.
Interesting, I’ll try again from my desktop when I get back home again. I guess it’s possible that it’s my phone that’s the problem.
Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you’re a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.
For torrents, you’ll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.
I get the impression that you’re new to the whole *arr set of applications.
Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you’re asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.
Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers
I’m not so sure about that, as I’m getting an error whenever I try to hook jacket up to the account I just created.
I’ll post an issue to the jacket issue log when I get home though after trying again I case there’s a delay in creating an account and the passkey becoming usable.
I think it’s a relatively recent thing. As the documentation for each of the *arts has a relatively recent minimum version number I think.
Here’s where I went when looking for whisparr, but just replace that with the arr you’re wanting to use and it’ll give you decent steps for getting your database created and migrated into it: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/postgres-setup
I chose to take down my production instance of lemmyz do a cp -r of it, update the docker compose file to specify the new version numbers for Lemmy and lemmy-ui plus change the port that the stack exposes and do a docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d on that stack to check to see if it could all work. Thankfully it did, so I updated the production compose file and tada! I’m on 19.0 safely
I’m in this camp as well. I’ve had one motion sensor of theirs since June that supplemented an IKEA one to catch movement at a different part of my hallway and had no real problems with it. I ordered another couple recently as well and put one in my kitchen and another in my office.
I might have been seeing odd behaviour on my office one but I’ve not had time to investigate it though and I was more inclined to believe it was bad positioning than a faulty sensor.
I did notice though that if I enter the room just as the lights are turning off then the lights don’t turn back on but I just go straight to the light switch and do a quick turn off and back on again job to fix it.
I’ve not tried this myself, but how about mounting the volume using sshfs?
https://simplytim.io/mounting-a-sftp-ssh-share-as-a-volume-in-docker-compose/
This is of course assuming that you’ve got ssh access to the VPS.
I’m currently mounting volumes using cifs and NFS, but I don’t think I’d be too keen on exposing those to the internet at large.
Magic, thanks for posting this. I’ve been trying to find a good and clear explanation of that been going on since I started reading about people getting upset with unity during the week.
Fair points well made. I thought the 11th was a Wednesday and I’ve been off on holiday for a week or so, so brain no worky so good just now.
I’ll l go back under my lurking rock again.
Only if you actually receive your pack which reports suggest hasn’t been as reliable this time around.
