With the recent discussions around replacing Spotify with selfhosted services and the possibilities to obtain the music itself, I've been finally setting up Navidrome. I had to do quite a bit of reorganization to do with my existing collection (beets helping a ton) but now it's in a neatly organized structure and I'm enjoying it everywhere. I get most of my stuff from Bandcamp but I have a big catalog from when I've still had a large physical collection.

I'm also still working on my docker quasi gitops stack. I've cleaned up my compose files and put the secrets in env files where I hadn't already, checked them into my new forgejo instance and (mostly) configured renovate. Komodo is about to get productive but I couldn't find the time yet. Also I need to figure out how to check in secrets in a secure way. I know some but I haven't tried those with Komodo yet. This close of my fully automated update-on-merge compose stacks!

I've also been doing these for quite a while and decided to sometimes post them in !selfhosting@slrpnk.net to possibly help moving a bit from the biggest Lemmy instance, even though this community as it is is perfectly fine as well as it seems.

What's going on on your servers? Anything you are trying to pursue at the moment?

Online piracy is in the midst of an identity crisis. Sites born with one name tend to discard them quite quickly, before adopting a series of others, hoping to stay one step ahead of the law. Site operators, meanwhile, no longer court the gaze of the media, certainly not under their real names while revealing their future piracy plans. In 2010, things were somewhat different; once considered a public good, sharing books today can trigger an FBI investigation.

I am migrating to Nextcloud memories and move away from Google photos however my previous phones and family are linked to the Google account is there a way to compare all the photos on my local gallery to my Google photos to make sure I have downloaded all the photos from there I don't have time to download everything from Google photos and delete duplicates

It really tickled my funny bone

I'm looking for a tool to generate a simple personal website (like an online business card) to self host. Preferably a static site generator.

I'm now using Hugo, but it does too much for me and changes too often. (I can't update my current page, because the template is no longer arond)

Common sense is a rarity in people nowadays. This has created many problems, one of which is that people tend to listen to others’ opinions and accept them as their own thoughts, rather than trusting their own common sense and intuition. For example, they often rely on AI, doctors, celebrities, politicians, or other authority figures more than on themselves, who yes given plenty of incorrect information, allot of times intentionally. They might know something is a lie but ignore their skepticism because “Celebrity A” said it’s true. Sometimes, they even listen to their uninformed neighbors more than to themselves or to people on social media, who, ironically, also don’t listen to their own judgment. It’s a clown world.

From the last episode of the bizarre tales of TAS, s2e6 "The Counterclock Incident"

Mass cancelations of Disney caused Disney to backtrack on cutting jimmy Kimmel. Like it or not this does show that the pressure does work. They made it hard to cancel and tried to stop it but ultimately we the people won, the same with this cabinet. They will push back but there is a light at the end of the tunnel and the harder they’re pushing the closer we are

For the third day in a row I’ve been asked for sources on various topics, and I know many things and articles I’ve seen over the course of the last few months.

Lately when I try to search to bring them back up they’re gone in search results. Replaced with pages upon pages of pro Trump messaging. I tried to find the multitudes of articles about ww2 vets still alive admonishing the administration for their clear nazi ties.

Now all I can find for 8 pages is a flood of articles about a ww2 vet speaking at the RNC saying he’ll fight for Trump to the very end to thunderous applause. Every, single article.

Even duck duck go is getting washed out with pro Trump results when I look for all the articles detailing resistance

This looks bad. They’re rewriting the last six months.

Do I think it’ll work? Not on me, or any of us. The but the average person will be influenced by shit like this when they try to research anything about what’s going on. It’s literally been harder and harder to find anything of real value on Google or any search engine anymore

Anyone have one that isn’t forcing these results?

Make sure you download critical videos and archive articles. Screenshots if you have to. We’re losing our grip on the information networks

An example that I just watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp_qHcQQyz8

I feel like this has become a trend. Personally, I can't stand it, but since it's become a trend, I figured I might be in the minority. Am I the only one who finds it impossible to fully process several sentences of text WHILE someone is providing verbal commentary? I'm constantly having to pause so I can read the text, which not only defeats the purpose of watching a video instead of reading an article, but also tires my brain out since it keeps switching between reading and listening.

I get that some topics involve lots of textual references, especially discussing court cases like the above example, but I would much rather the creator either (a) stick to verbal summaries and commentary while providing links to all references in case I want to dig deeper myself after watching, or (b) if they're gonna show a bunch of text, read it out loud so that I can put the video on while I do the dishes or something without needing to keep my eyes on the screen and my finger hovering over the pause button.
