You can actually play from the UI too, but it’s not particularly nice to use (or intended to be used that way).

I’ll add pinchflat as an alternative with the same aim.

that I put on a SD card for my phone

Pretty soon you won’t be able to buy a phone without expandable storage. On the plus side, internal storage is going up, but it’s still not big enough to hold a complete FLAC collection if it’s a reasonably large library. You can re-encode your library just for phone usage, but that’s a bit annoying to maintain.

Also, I’ve found all of the offline music players on Android kind of suck, and don’t support the workflow I like or have bugs.

I think they probably do care, but they just haven’t got around to strong-arming them yet. There’s still more emulator devs to harass after all.

Do you have any recommendations for a Perplexity.ai type setup? It’s one of the few recent innovations I’ve found useful. I’ve heard of Perplexica and a few others, but not sure what is the best approach.

It’s like a page of high-school level ranting gibberish. I suppose that is technically a “platform” but not what people are typically thinking of.

however the issue I run into is if I lose internet access at home, none of my services are able to function as they can no longer reach the management interface.

Do the services stop working immediately, or only after restarting the netbird client(s)? I’ve found headscale/tailscale nodes will continue to communicate with each other with the internet down, but restarting the tailscale client will break things (which makes sense of course).

If netbird has an equivalent to MagicDNS that could cause issues after a while of losing connectivity (since the DNS will be hosted on the VPS).

Or just use tailscale/headscale/netbird and keep the underlying wireguard performance.

nixos-anywhere also works well for this use case.

This view only works in a world where the right and left have a common view of reality and a common agreement on what the outcome should be, they just disagree on how to get there.

Which is why being centre-left or centre-right makes logical sense, since the positions and policies within those halves are consistent with their perception of reality and desired outcomes. And being unbiased about which position to pick within those ideologies is perfectly reasonable.

But being a centrist between the left and right doesn’t make sense, as the view of reality and goals is entirely distinct. There’s no middle ground between “cutting social services for the poor because you believe poor people deserve to be poor, and that hierarchical societies are inherently right”, and that “we should increase social spending to help those that are less fortunate because an equal society is inherently just”.

True, but being the only person willing to do something is kind of laudable in it’s own right. Like all of the open source projects relied upon by millions that are sometimes developed primarily by one person in their free time.

You could try headscale instead, which doesn’t actually pass much traffic between the VPS and clients (client to client is where the actual data transfer happens).

Or just test out regular hosted Tailscale to see if it will fit your needs.

Another case is listing a huge number of steps to do some task, without acting describing what the end goal for each set of instructions is (common in “how to” guides, and especially ones that involve a GUI).

This means that less technical users don’t really understand what is going on and are just following steps in a rote way, and it wastes the time of technical users since they probably know how to achieve each goal already.

There is a case to be made that people should be a bit more well rounded in general, and not just find a specific niche.

So non-technical people should still have a decent familiarity with computers and maybe be able to do some very basic coding. And technical people should spend some time working on their written and verbal communication.

Because in both cases, it makes people more effective in their roles.

I had a similar experience with NixOS-anywhere and a VPS issue. Reset the OS, setup SSH key access and ran NixOS-anywhere and within like 15 minutes was back up and running.

I was going to say you could use a smartphone with the Jellyfin app to control it, but it looks to be limited (just the actual launching of videos not play/pause etc).

and the measurement is something like 10-15DB per drive

It seems to be a relative measurement, and so the values look to be 10-15dB above ambient, not the absolute dB of the drives. You can see he subtracts the background dB from the spl meter calibration early in the video.

Using amdgpu on that card has been considered experimental ever since it was added like 6 years ago

If I recall right, it hasn’t been enabled by default simply because it is missing some features like analog TV out support (which most people don’t want or need in 2024).

I was under the impression that the OP wanted to vote tactically, but if that isn’t relevant in their particular state, then they should vote their preference.

Since RJK is an unhinged anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist, I would suggest voting for Biden, since it may move the needle for future elections.

They’ll supply a giant paper manual, and you’ll have to look through it to find the key. DRM, 1980s style.
