Literally cannot find anything new and interesting recently. Done all Zelda, Paper, “Mario…” etc.

Guess I’ll fire up ACNH and pluck some weeds…

I use LMS and it is fantastic. However not knowing your setup in detail, I cannot help you more.

1. LMS can stream to multiple devices, separately. (Different music in different rooms/devices).
2. LMS can stream simultaneously to multiple devices. (Same music across several devices).
3. Yes, it can chromecast (chromecast bridge extension). There is also an Airbridge extension.
4. Yes, there is a plugin to stream from YouTube (I don’t use it, so I don’t know if this includes or excludes YT music)

I looked through my extensions and I cannot see a ‘spotcast bridge’ option, but doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. You’d have to look about, maybe github.

Finally, like you have ‘snapclient’ on the RPi’s you can/could change them to ‘chrome clients’ (different project but same deal as the snapclient). When checking, it seems the solutions that exist are pretty out of date, and there are comments that google has locked down on the ‘chromecast api’ that check the client is legit or not, through signed certificates. So everything is fine if you have legit chromecasts, but it might not be so successful with an emulated cc, such as VLC client or omxplayer.

More finally though, Logitech Media Server, is designed to be that - the central server of your music. Ideally you would have all your music locally, rather than on other services. So it probably isn’t what you are looking for.

Good FOSS software and reliable service providers? Etc.

Wow much detail. You’re gonna get so much help.

So far it’s been amazing. Its like being in an Indiana movie, and still being in control. Plus you get to beat up baddies! There is also SO MUCH content (and I have only traveled to two locations!). Totally engaging.

You can expect Indiana dry/wry humor and all. It is all there.

IMO worth every $. (I’m a PC gamer first, it’s a shame it wont come out on PS5 until next year, not that I have one. It will never come out on Switch, there is no way it could handle it).

DL from Steam was 100GB+

Selfhost Bitwarden. Has apps for everything, browser extensions and can be accessed via webpage as well.

To be honest, whilst I will do my daily ACNH routine, I will be consuming all the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle content I can.

It was only a few weeks ago (maybe 4). Systems are all kept up to date with ansible. Most are Debian but there are few Ubuntu. The two that failed were both Debian.

Granted both that failed have high [virtual] disk usage compared to the other VM’s. I cannot remember the failure now, but lots of searching confirmed that it was likely unrecoverable (they could boot, but only into read only). None of the btrfs-check “dangerous” commands could recover it, spitting out tons of errors about mismatching somethings (again, forgotten the error).

My setup is different to yours but not totally different. I run ESXi 8, and I started to use BTRFS on some of my VM’s.

I had a power failure, that was longer than the UPS could handle. Most of the system shutdown safely, a few VM’s did not. All of the EXT4 VM’s were easily recovered (including another one that was XFS). TWO of the BTRFS systems crashed into a non recoverable state.

Nothing I could do to fix them, they were just toast. I had no choice but to recover using backups. This made me highly aware that BTRFS is still not a reliable FS.

I am migrating everything from BTRFS to something more stable and reliable like EXT4. It’s simply not worth the headache.

Well, you are subscribing to the Sun.

Its your own shitshow.

No one fucking cares.

31 branches? uh… okay.

User blocked. Troll.

It’s in their docs. https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/installation/index.html

Follow the pages one by one, (ie install php modules etc, edit settings, install apache2, edit settings, etc etc). Follow the recommendations (eg. PHP8.2, don’t try to use bleeding edge).

You’ll be running in no time, and have a properly updatable system using apt, and the nextcloud ./occ command.

I would recommend using Debian 12 over Ubuntu variants. There are other guides, like this: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial-collections/how-to-install-and-configure-nextcloud But you may have to “convert” some of the Ubuntu specific stuff to Debian, but actually there is probably no difference (php module naming convention maybe? Is that still a problem today?)

This is true, but something about being an Electronics Engineer makes you want to check. (I didn’t even trust Philips to get it right, but they did.)

I didn’t go into detail, but simple Dashed/Solid line doesn’t tell you the whole story. Those simple wall warts are not fancy switch mode, or even old school rectified. I measured 14VDC unloaded, which I can probably guestimate in experience, to be a 9VDC loaded reading.

The actual reading on wallwarts are generally untrustworthy, unless its a thing from Samsung or apple, where the circuitry are what you would expect (switched etc).

I can tell you for certain, I measured my plug phiips (foil and ‘one’) and they are both 14VDC. So short answer is that the plug charger would blow up the usb trimmer you have (which is 5VDC).

The reason I know this and measured them, was because I wasnt sure the two plug chargers were the same, and I didnt want to blow up my philips one.

I’d pick prohibited transaction. I live in AU. NYSE won’t let me trade there.

Either that or “hate” - all redditors can get involved, but not you because you are not from the US. Sounds like communism.

For tipping countries like the US, the driver would only get a “has a tip” notification on the order (if they get any information like that at all!) so they can decide. There is no way the driver can see that there is a $40 order with a $4 tip, or a $40 order with a $16 dollar tip. Orders would be ignored all the time, and the service would fail.

Oh, and if they did get a “has tip” flag for the order, then customers could just game it, by selecting “add tip” and setting it to $0 or $0.10 or something so their order gets that “has tip” flag!!

Here is AU, there is no tipping, so the drivers get paid like normal people. None of this work for tip bullshit that seems to have survived this long in the US, its incredible that it has gotten this far. Now the US get asked for tips using self-service machines, that is the height of lunacy!

I find Joplin perfect for my needs. Markdown, embedding images, links etc. I sync to my selfhosted nextcloud.

I like tags, I would like them to add a “directory tree” type of view to help sort “folders” (the thing they call “notebooks”) but only because I am more used to just filesystem type structured filing. But the notebooks and tagging idea works for me too.

I strictly use it for notes/note keeping, in particular “HOWTO’s” and specific topic notes. So I dont even do a great deal of markdown in my notes, but I love the ability to add screen captures etc to them for clarity.

And being on nextcloud, I can access those notes anywhere on any device, PC, Android, Raspberry Pi!! Joplin has an app for all of them

If you were normal… 20/4/19xx … or 20th of April, 19xx. If you insist on freedom units and format, its your own fault!

Also, who knows what it was written to identify? you are all speculating. It could have been weed smokers (420) but it could also have been written to filter out the yanks…!

There are many kinds…

They are is incorrect, and the word “so” is superfluous.
