I too like Tempo, but I use Navidrome as the backend.

I’ve really enjoyed my Bazzite experience. I’ve been running Linux for decades though, so take it with a grain of salt.

I mean, self hosting is basically gardening for computers.

Those work pretty well these days

What’s it got that Ptyxis doesn’t?

Every time I use Powershell it makes me love bash even more

I’ve not used i2p but I’ve had to mess with a lot of other random weird tools under bazzite. I’d suggest installing it in a distrobox. There is a command for linking programs from your host into the distrobox and then exposing them back to the host. I forget the exact syntax but I used it for vscode and intellij and it was really straight forward and worked well. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with i2p and Firefox.

Looks neat, but Navidrome+Tempo have been working great for me.

Great points, but I’m on the opposite side while being in a similar user group. I never used Arch, but I used Gentoo for a few years and did LFS a couple times. Now I’m using Aurora/Bazzite on my workstations. I hack around on my machines a lot but sometimes I just like stuff that works too. When I need to get some development done, I don’t want to run into the weird bit of configuration left over from some previous project. I like that it pushes users towards encapsulation mechanisms like flatpaks and devcontainers. It keeps the core cleaner and more stable. The tradeoffs of having to bake extra packages into a container somewhere usually aren’t too bad.

I recently setup Music Assistant and have been trying to make it work in my VLANs with my esp32 devices. It has been slow going. Nothing has the level of logging required to easily debug the issues I’ve encountered but I’m slowly working through it all.

How’s your experience with meshtastic been? I’ve just started experimenting with it. There are very few nodes in my area, so my potential use cases seem limited.

And if you really want to burn it good look into getting/making thermite.

Homepage is great, especially if the services are deployed on docker or Kubernetes. You can just add some metadata to each service and Homepage will automatically pick them up. No need to remember to update it directly for a new service.

I got a Venstar T2000. Its at a decent price point, HAOS has built in support for it, and it can work entirely without internet.

An easy option is VaultWarden. Pretty painless to host AND it’ll store your passwords. There are probably better dedicated tools, but it’s functionality is pretty solid.

Slackware around 96. I downloaded it from a local BBS over a 28.8 modem. It took forever. I don’t recall how many floppies it took, but it was a good stack. I got it installed, then realized it was in Portuguese. I did not know Portuguese at the time. So I got a crash course in Linux and Portuguese at the same time learning how to reconfigure the language settings. It was a fun time.

I haven’t used it, but agendav - https://github.com/agendav/agendav looks like it might be what you’re looking for. There are similar projects for iCal format, which many calendar apps can emit as well.

The answer is still yes. Your posts go out to the fediverse and comments come in from the fediverse.

Fcast seems pretty promising but it looks like it’s only implemented in Grayjay thus far.

I’ve got a handful of Android-based TVs that I’m becoming increasingly irritated with. Google regularly pushes updates that break stuff. I already have Jellyfin and Navidrome running on my network and can play them on the TV without issue. Netflix et al are also no issue, but being able to stream other sources such as YouTube/NewPipe.

I am not a fan of Apple either, so adding to them to the mix is a nonstarter.
