  • I reckon the problem with that is… what’s the source for the recommendations and then what’s the sink?

    Like, first, how do you get all that information about music, type of music, musicians, year of release etc?

    Then where do you store it? Then you come to the problem of building a robust recommendation engine. Sure that’s one step that seems solvable with open source. Not easy. Solvable.

    Then, what does a person do with the recommendations? So you have to build ways to export to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, FOSS music solutions. Perhaps plugins are the way to solve this.

    Not saying it’s not doable. Just difficult.

    Though I also believe someone would have tried to tackle it in their capacity in the FOSS world. Don’t know how Fedi plays into this. Maybe an online radio station?







  • You wanna know a fun way to do this?

    GitHub (and I think Gitlab too) supports you running their runner within your own infra. It’s literally a binary that needs permissions and space. Then, you can tell your git repo to use that runner to run docker compose and as part of the “build” process, deploy you container to the same or an in-network machine.

    This is not secure, it’s probably going to involve a lot of hard coding of local IPs or server names etc. But you can make it work.

    I use this way to get a Win11 PC to run some regular containers on itself. Works like a charm.





  • Short answer - Yes. https://stinkycandlecompany.com/products/fart-candle

    Longer answer - all smellable scents are composed of chemicals that our scent receptors can understand, primarily by having the chemical compounds actually arrive into our noses and touch the receptors. What that means is that a fart is composed of very fine “shit particles” that float about till they enter your nose and cause you to smell it.

    While an individual fart may be difficult or impossible to bottle, since it contains very few particles needed to either store or replicate successfully, the existence of fart candles displays that farts can be emulated by scent manufacturers by studying the chemical composition of farts.

    I wonder how many farts it would have taken for scent manufacturers to successfully replicate a particularly pungent fart!



  • Such pain, and you didn’t bother to name the GitHub project you’re trying to make work. Maybe it’s not allowed in this sub?

    Anyways, maybe you need to install python-dotenv from conda-forge? Never done this before so don’t know if this will work. But worth a try.

    See here. Might be worth your while to just do

    conda config —add channels conda-forge
    conda config —set channel_priority strict
    conda install python-dotenv python-dotenv-with-cli
