PCIE cards exist that expand SATA data plugs. I don’t know the ins and outs though, as far as bandwidth goes. It also means you need a power supply that can provide enough power and daisy chained cords.

I’m test driving podgrab right, and I really like it, very snappy. It looks like it might not be under active development anymore, unfortunately. The only thing it’s missing I’d have hoped for, is some sort of automatic tagging mechanism.

Did you turn that butter knife into a makeshift spudger?

Tailscale is the way. You can make their free tier go really far, especially if you use your own OIDC solution.

I use a DAP with an SD card on the go, because my whole collection is lossless and I like fidelity. However, it’s convenient to be able to stream music to my TV while doing house chores, in addition to allowing family access.

I’m in the habit of manually cross-referencing Discogs for every album I run through Picard, often making alterations if need be. I’ve also spent a lot of time configuring and scripting the shit out of the tool to get a pretty immaculate collection.

Thank you for the info. I might try this, however I’m already having a 10x better experience now that I’ve set up Navidrome, and then tried the Symphonium client.

I meticulously use Picard to curate my collection. I’m 99% certain it’s not me or my library, it’s the assumptions Jellyfin makes about specific artist related tags, and the inability to override said assumptions.

I tried their demo, and I really dig the minimalist approach. Might give it a shot.

“This must be a completely different artist than the album artist!”

I’m very interested in Games on Whales. Are there any hardware implications with this approach? IE, does it perform better with consumer or pro Nvidia GPUs? I assume decause it’s using Docker, the more RAM the better.

You could create one. Learning how to put together your own Docker images is a rush.

SlimBlade Pro gang. It really is superior.

(my files are in one big folder, so albums are jumbled)

This doesn’t give you anxiety?

I’m a US citizen and I wish I could avoid it.

I’m Spartacus.

DigitalOcean has droplets that only cost $4/mo. I use one for a small, static site and a gopher server.

I’m not your buddy, guy!

You’re right. I see no more intrinsic value in having 1mil users, versus 15k. And nothing you can say is likely to convince me that quantity determines or makes for a valuable platform. We’ve seen the growth mentality and resulting corporate greed destroy numerous platforms already.

You’re arguing quantity over quality. I do not care the least for bootstrapped growth at the detriment of the platform. I also do not care about people who idolize and platform hop in order to follow celebrities. I suspect very few will bring with them value beyond increased traffic.

If you want this, Reddit is still an option available to you.
