Well, I’ve maintained my music collection from the olden days, and acquire new music as I discover I like it. I mostly have trash vaporwave tastes so I actually buy most of my music cheaply on bandcamp. My music collection isn’t massive like some peoples, but it’s a decent amount of GB. Mostly mp3, I’m not fancy enough for FLAC.

As for hosting the music, check out Navidrome. It’s a great subsonic compatible service that can run on your OS of choice. I use Symfonium on Android to access the library. It supports playlist syncing, offline caching, etc. etc.

Don’t sleep on the video walk through, it can be truly invaluable.

To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?

If you have any kind of firewall on your network, you might make sure it’s not blocking that port with a rule. Here’s a couple screenshots from my setup in case that helps.

The config in NPM

The config in HA’s configuration.yaml

Try adding just the NPM IP and HA IP first, then add the docker internal network as well if you still have issues.

A pizza stone can definitely help. You might also prebake the crust for a few minutes before adding sauce+toppings, it can help with soggy bottoms.

We have also made small amounts of fire on Mars.

Nice poem.

…don’t feed bears. They turn to a life of petty crime.

If you are primitive camping, a big bucket of water and a spade or sturdy stick are your friends. Thoroughly douse the embers, break up the coals, douse it again for good measure, then scatter any remaining cool ashes outside the campsite.

ABSOLUTELY.

Never use one source for critical data! One backup is no backups! No backups is playing with the entropic forces of the universe!

1. Have at least three copies of your data - primary, backup, and offsite backup.
2. Store the copies on at least two different media types.
3. Keep at least one of those copies offsite - what if your house or datacenter burned down?

If you don’t care about recovering your photos, by all means use an actively changing project as your sole means of data storage!

The nomenclature I’ve heard (from sci-fi) is ‘narrow’ or ‘weak’ AI would be our current day LLMs, Roomba AIs, etc. It’s restricted in capability and lacks true intelligence. ‘Strong’ or ‘General’ AI would be at the level of a human and have true comprehension and the ability to learn. We don’t have this yet, unless Dr. Alfred J. Lanning is out there working on positronics. ‘Super’ AI will be beyond human capability. Probably will kick off the Singularity.

Sorry, best we can do is make a new tier at the same price that only plays music, while we jack up the price of the new Premium Plan to account for ‘rising market costs’!

Watch out bot, the Times might come for you next…

And if the power in your area sucks, the power conditioning even a good small UPS provides is invaluable.

At least your chickens will enjoy it! It could be blossom end rot, which can be caused by calcium deficiency and exacerbated by an erratic watering schedule. I’ve not encountered it myself yet, but the picture looks similar to the ones I’ve seen.

Lovely! Did you plant it or did it show up by itself?

Love the vibe of this screen.

I recently moved from a bog standard Nova launcher setup to something much more pretty!

Launcher is Niagara Pro, wallpaper is Wallpaper Engine!

The multifactor can’t be understated as part of your security stance! I turn it on and enforce it on my home network for any service I host that supports it. And like mentioned elsewhere, only 80 and 443 are opened and they go straight through a proxy.
