haven’t looked at Pangolin, but thanks for the info! I might explore it in the future if my current setup gives me any issues.

pretty cheap to get a domain name through Cloudflare too - nine bucks a year for a .com , I think? Just get something completely personal or completely random! :D They even have a way to get emails routed to your general inbox. It’s fugly, but it works!

huh. I knew there was a reason for me to go back to ZT. mdns, you say? Nice to know!

You got two options which I’ve tried -

1. A solution like tailscale or zerotier. Simple setup, easy to turn on and just go. Tailscale is newer and has a nicer interface and features like using an actual VPN like Mullvad as an “endpoint” (or whatever they call it). Their Mullvad connection also basically gives you a discount as they charge only $5 for the vpn instead of €5. The catch is that Mullvad charges you that price for 5 devices. So if a sixth device connects to the VPN through tailscale, you get charged $10 for that month.
2. A cloudflare tunnel with zero trust on top. More work to setup. But makes it easy to access your apps without any vpn. They’re basically exposed to the internet at that point, but locked in behind cloudflare’s authentication. You can literally set it up for one or two email IDs. Yours and a family member’s. Much simpler for others to wrap their heads around. But some people dislike cloudflare for some reason or the other.

How?

Good idea!

Brands of what?

Thanks for mentioning SingleFile. I’m not using it right now.

I reckon the problem with that is… what’s the source for the recommendations and then what’s the sink?

Like, first, how do you get all that information about music, type of music, musicians, year of release etc?

Then where do you store it? Then you come to the problem of building a robust recommendation engine. Sure that’s one step that seems solvable with open source. Not easy. Solvable.

Then, what does a person do with the recommendations? So you have to build ways to export to YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, FOSS music solutions. Perhaps plugins are the way to solve this.

Not saying it’s not doable. Just difficult.

Though I also believe someone would have tried to tackle it in their capacity in the FOSS world. Don’t know how Fedi plays into this. Maybe an online radio station?

Spotify scrobbles to LastFM. Maybe they have an API or export solution? All you would have to do is play your playlist straight through once after connecting to LastFM.

I don’t know about importing it further as I don’t know what Navidrome is.

“Content creation” IS shitposting. Interacting on social media, on the other hand, is actual posting.

Geez what’s that about?

He Cray.

Now that you’ve dubbed OP a tech person…

Hey OP, can you help me fix my printer? It’s only printing “RED RUM RED RUM” for some reason.
