You could run FreshRSS on a RPi: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-freshrss/

Then interface that with your network. Heck, you could probably go down to your local Goodwill or Computer Resell shop and pick up something.

Serving audio files is pretty easy as long as you don’t have a million people trying to DL a new 5GB episode simultaneously.

I wonder if that could be rate limited with some mechanism when OP blows up?

I haven’t streamed audio to a server in a decades since I ran an internet radio station pre-napster. We were using ShoutCast servers paid for by IM Radio Networks (now defunct) then. All we had to do was pay for ASCAP/SEASAC,BMI, SOCAN etc license coverage. It wasn’t a podcast tho, but rather 24/7 broadcast. With few thousand people tuning in every day, we ate up some serious bandwidth I can tell you.

Oh snap! Man, you didn’t have to do all that just for one dipshit who didn’t understand what Mixarr was. I should have done a bit more reading. I feel embarrassed. I will spin this up in an hour or two when I get my chores done. Thank you so much!

Because I’m a dumbass who didn’t really understand what was going on. Kindly disregard the doddering old man.

Connects to Lidarr

So, I don’t run the ‘arr stack’, and am not interested in downloading, but I would like recommendations on new music. I am running Navidrome which scrobbles to Listenbrainz. How would Mixarr fit into this scenario?

So, what is/are the advantage(s) of running a single user Lemmy instance? Privacy? Security? Anonymity? Curious since it seems there are people who do.

Thank you. Powertop & tlp have been deployed. So now I’ll need to tweak and test.

Thanks for that and the arch link. I may have some follow up questions later on if you don’t mind terribly.

I used the output from powertop --html

Noted.

It’s not like I’m running big enterprise equipment that dims the lights every time I power it on, but when I’m snoring in bed at night, other than a few crons that run, I don’t see a need for the server to be at max. I want to cut out as much wasted power consumption as possible, even if it’s just a little here and a little there. It all adds up. It’s something I’ve been noodling around with for a bit, but if I were to make a new years resolution for the homelab, I’d like it to use the least amount of power, while not creating a lot of hindrances when I am engaging with the server.

I can tell there are at least 5 people who didn’t like your suggestion. LMAO. But indeed, AI can do this and do it well. I put a few songs in and tell it to recommend similar Indie musicians. Works like a charm.

Man, that would absolutely rock if it integrated with Navidrome.

Navidrome can scrobble to Listenbrainz which this supports.

Every so once in a while I get the notion to run a honeypot, but it doesn’t seem prudent for me to attract that much attention to my network. I can already see the traffic using ntopng, and pfsense/unbound/suricata/pfblockng and robust ruleset do all the heavy lifting. I block everything, then only allow what is absolutely necessary. If it were run solely on a small VPS or droplet, it’d be an interesting project, but I’m not sure I want to poke the bear that much on my local network.

Awesome! In my younger days traveling, I picked up a few languages enough to get by, but that was decades ago and if you don’t use them you loose them. At one time I spoke patois fairly fluently which you would most likely hear in Jamaica or the Dominican Republic.

The map you posted…that is a year of travel? You don’t get out much do you? LOL J/K If you were to track my travels, it’d be confined to 22 acres. I don’t get out much either. :)

The project looks great tho, and congratulations on the success of your app. I’ve often wondered where independent devs get their multiple languages from. 9 languages supported is pretty huge. Do you have people contribute translations, or is there a more structured avenue?

That’s cool. I can tell you there are 700+/- different entities traversing the edge router of my network or at least vying for a slot. I’m not sure about adding 41,840 more. LOL

It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to.

…but why?

Navidrome checks all my boxes. I don’t seem to have the same issues you are having with umlaut letters tho. I’d check tags/metadata. MusicBrainz, Mp3tag, Foobar2000, Beets, can help with that.

The amazing thing about it is that with an instance of meilisearch I was able to index all my media libraries/book libraries/game libraries and searching for !home <query> actually sarches within my home lab, which is a huge win for me.

I’m intrigued. I’ve always wanted to point my search engine to my ebook library and be able to search them for data. Scrape my library as it were. I’ve also wanted to change the Searxng log as well, to personalize it.

searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=test

Do you have the %s in the search string: searx.yourdomain.tld/search?q=%s. For instance, in Firefox, when you add you searx instance, I had to add the %s to get it to search properly.

Non-technical users don’t have any problems with Linux as an alternative. They don’t know nor care what is running on their PC as long as they can click on icons opening the handful of basic programs they actually use.

My lady friend has got to be the most tech illiterate person I’ve met. In as much as I try to educate her, she’ll end up saying ‘I don’t care, just make it do what it do.’ She had an old laptop and was getting frustrated because Windows has a tendency to get junked up with crap, and things start not to function properly. So I swapped her Windows OS for Mint. It didn’t phase her a bit, and it really wasn’t much issue with ‘learning’ a new OS. Now, she doesn’t use the cli and asks me to install something, but if there’s an icon, she’s good to go. She did mention that it seemed a bit more snappier, which is probably due to the way Linux addresses RAM and resources.

I recommend Linux to a lot of normal, everyday, people, I’ll even set them up with a live thumbdrive to test drive and see if it meets their expectations. I think the hesitancy for most people is that they grew up using Windows, and so anything that isn’t Windows seems scary. There can be a learning curve if you want to pop the hood and get into the guts, but for the most part the people I recommend Linux to, take to it rather well.
