For devs.

I mean... We already have a very well built fork.

Fascist friends forever.

To anyone reading this, unless you absolutely must have the federation abilities of Funkwhale above your own sanity, it's not worth it. Funkwhale is an absolute bear to setup by comparison to every other music server. I have been bouncing through them all spinning up containers for the same library and putting them through their paces.

Spinning up 4 Navidrome containers with 4 different domains for my user's library preferences was quicker and easier than setting up one Funkwhale server for 4 users. It's beyond absurd how clunky it is. And worst of all, 4 Navidrome containers are extremely faster, less resource hungry, and easier to maintain.

None of the local library importing works in the UI unless you're the admin account. That means going into users to create libraries then spinning up an API container with a command to import the local files. But then it doesn't watch them unless you include that flag and leave the detached container running.

On top of that, so few people are running it that you cannot just search the web for issues. It's their lacking documentation only. You know something is obscure when you cant even find their own website by searching Funkwhale without going through the top result that links to it.

Funkwhale is just not ready for prime time compared to the other servers.

I have used Airsonic and then Airsonic-advanced for years after briefly using Subsonic. But recently as my more and more of my library migrated to FLAC I had issues with transcoding. Sometimes all transcoding would just start failing and when it did Airsonic would peg every thread it had available. (Heresy I know but when I or my users are on a mobile network I don't want to chew through data in a few day long outings.) So that's what led me down this path. I tried Navidrome and loved it except for the lack of library separation. I tried Funkwhale, and I tried Gonic. Gonic is wonderful in its simplicity but it's almost too basic. It supposedly had library separation and has transcoding but neither was working out of the box so I just said fuck it and went with 4 Navidrome containers because copy and pasting is easy and everything about Navidrome just works. Most importantly, Navidrome is lightning fast loading in an app which is the only way my users interact with the server. It fires up transcoding so fast you almost cannot tell the difference between loading the native file and transcoding in terms of response. I swear there was at least one more server I looked at but passed over and I cannot recall the name.

Edit: FYI Navidrome said that they are currently reworking the entire server backend, but after that it will be easier to implement multiple libraries.

Obviously the majority of content is not going to be available. It will essentially b a Tubi clone or what Netflix streaming was when they first launched it.

The 100 people who bought it will be crushed.

So, like a hundred years as long as people like him exist.

I second this comment. It's been a long time since I set one up and it was a pain. And from what I can tell it's only gotten harder.

roofuskit ,

The cyber insurance market has already hardened a lot over the last few years. It was just starting to ease up but I'm guessing this will cause even stricter underwriting requirements.

roofuskit ,

If anything, only using it for sites that won't generate ad revenue costs them money.

roofuskit ,

She certainly enjoys a good joke.

roofuskit ,

That's the point. It's stupid.

Not really. It's just a normal Zen 4 CPU with some server features like ECC memory support.

The biggest downfall of these chips is they have the same 28 PCI-E lanes as any consumer grade Zen 4 CPU. Quite the difference between that and the cheapest EPYC CPUs outside the 4000 series.

You're going to run in to some serious I/O shortages if trying to fit a 10gbe card, an HBA card for storage, and a graphics card or two and some NVME drives.

roofuskit , (edited )

We'll see if they even make them. I can't imagine there's a huge customer base who really needs to cram all that I/o through only two or 4 lanes. Why make these ubiquitous cards more expensive if most of the customers buying them are not short PCI-E lanes? So far most making use of 5.0 are graphics and storage devices. I've not seen any hint of someone making a sas or 10 gbe card that uses 5.0 and fewer lanes. Most cards for sale today still use 3.0 let alone 4.0.

I might as well just drop the cash on a real EPYC CPU with 128 lanes if I'm only going to be able to buy cutting edge expansion cards that companies may or may not be motivated to make.

AI and Robots Are Automating the IVF Process: Here's How It's Already Helped 11 Women Get Pregnant (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

Hopeful parents who continue to struggle with infertility have found an unlikely ally in Science and the advancements of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) as a laboratory in Guadalajara, Mexico harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence and robotics to help streamline the IVF process.

roofuskit ,

That would require the people writing articles to understand it in the slightest. Or be able to distinguish real AI from marketing.

roofuskit ,

Yup, just complex pattern recognition so far.

roofuskit ,

Is the x4 slot full length? Because the graphics card will likely work fine in an x4 slot. Especially if you are just using it for transcoding. PCI Express is backwards compatible, is just going to limit performance.

PCIe 2.0 with 4 lanes gets you 2GB/s. Which should be more than enough for video transcoding.

If it's not a full length slot you can buy a riser that converts it. Some x4 slots have a cutout at the end though to allow them to accept full length cards.

roofuskit ,

Re-reading your post, I just realized you're probably trying to put a video card in the second PCI-E slot and you need to make sure your board will support that. Some boards will not boot if the only video device is not in the primary slot. If you have onboard video from the CPU this won't be an issue. But definitely double check the manual for your motherboard.

roofuskit ,

It should work as long has you have integrated graphics. Make sure you have the integrated graphics set as default in your bios.

roofuskit ,

There are things you can do in Linux to unlock the max number of transcoding sessions as well. You can Google it if you ever hit that wall.

roofuskit ,

This is so they can record everything office workers do and sell their replacements to corporations.

A fitness band will have low power Bluetooth you can detect. You can get a miband for $20-30. You can detect it with one or two $5 esp32 boards running espresense.

If you have a disk controller you can pass through.

No point in expending resources to support a dying social media platform people barely had reason to use from a game console when it was popular.

roofuskit ,

Everything has a cost. I would have cheered them removing twitter from a game console before it was ruined. Nobody really needs that. And the resources can go to something that supports the core functionality of the device.

DJT syndrome, they were always there but he told them it was good to be that way. And that's exactly what they all wanted to hear.

roofuskit ,

Even worse, negativity increases engagement on social media. So instead of shutting it down, it's more profitable for them and the algorithms encourage it.

roofuskit ,

Poorly trained AI if it didn't realize to be safe in the priesthood you have to go after children.

roofuskit ,

What they really need is competition.

roofuskit ,

Does your workplace vote on everything collectively? Or does a smaller controlling board vote?

roofuskit ,

The Republicans

roofuskit ,

Congress can pass a law anytime they want. But this small regulatory agency is all we have in the meantime.

roofuskit ,

Then municipal competition.

You're a little loose with those extra Os there.

Only an apple zombie would be loyal to a product that crappy 5 times? My $30 Sesh earbuds work like a champ after several years. Then I got the $100 pixel A buds for free with a new phone and have been using those for years with no problems. Since they were so cheap I use the Sesh buds in the shower to listen to music or podcasts and they still work fine. I abuse cheaper products and they last longer than luxury brand crap.

roofuskit ,

There's no room for connectors in something that small.

roofuskit ,

How much of your time was wasted dealing with a faulty product? That's beyond frustrating. When I spend apple money on something I expect it to work.

roofuskit ,

Looks like they are using a stock button cell. What's the battery life like on that? I'm guessing that's where the sacrifice is. Also according to what I saw online those buds are still glued together so it isn't like changing the batteries in a remote.

roofuskit ,

They're just taking their cut for figuring out how to avoid labor laws.

roofuskit ,

Just checked, although I have an alert for when they fail. I backup to another local server and Google drive. Everything is working well.

roofuskit ,

All my server drives come to me with these many hours and truck on for many years.

roofuskit ,

AI will remove 41% of execs, say 100% of people who know what AI is.

roofuskit ,

Pretty sure the entire Republican party and the ruling class they serve just orgasmed at that thought.

roofuskit ,

They should turn it into a worker owned business.
