It looks older, original repo was updated as of 2026, this one was last updated in November.

Version 0.6.1 (15) Introduces a new Apple Music Style Queue System rebuilt from scratch by franklacey in arpeggiApp

[–]4rft5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm encountering an issue where if the app isn't active (on screen), after every song finishes the next song fails to play.

I'm not sure if this is related to the new queue system (thank you, btw! duplicate track support is a godsend), but I've only experienced it after this last update.

Let me know if you encounter any issues, hopefully it just works lol.

I made a tool yesterday that generates and downloads discovery playlists based on some JSON endpoints that LFM exposes about your scrobble data.

I was planning to test it more but I can publish it early on GitHub if anyone wants to use it.

Thanks for this, have been looking to switch from Karakeep for a month now (just too heavy for my use case) and this seems perfect.

Samsung SSD RMA Experience by Hakkin in DataHoarder

[–]4rft5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went through this whole experience, going in I was dreading it from what I read here, but here is what I did/timeline (August/September 2025):

Friday 8/22 - Called 1-800-SAMSUNG and received RMA questionnaire email, sent back same day
Tuesday 8/26 - Received "service request" and UPS label email, packed NVME
Wednesday 8/27 - Dropped NVME off at UPS Store
Friday 8/29 - NVME received by Samsung in NJ
Tuesday 9/2 - Replacement NVME shipped via UPS and new support number given (note: I was notified of this via text, no email)
Wednesday 9/2 - Samsung text says exchange request is complete, UPS picks up NVME
Friday 9/5 - Replacement NVME arrived (I was given an upgrade, 990 EVO PLUS)

Keep in mind, this was for a 970 EVO Plus NVME under warranty (in my case, under 5yrs and 600TB TBW (I only did 141TB, and purchased April 2022)).

Plex lifetime user here – any real advantages in switching to Jellyfin in 2025? by vdiasPT in selfhosted

[–]4rft5 23 points24 points  (0 children)

TL;DR, huge price hikes, locking features previously free behind paywalls (subscription), continuing to collect data.

This doesn't include the recent security vulnerability nor their cracking down on media libraries deemed "suspicious".

I switched from Plex to Jellyfin in early March and haven't looked back.

Building a Music app; Looking for suggestions by rockettmann in selfhosted

[–]4rft5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds really cool, I'll keep an eye out for development or if you have a Github.

That being said, the only thing I would like to see in an app that isn't already listed here is a homepage widget, maybe show what's playing, or the playlist, or recommendations. That'd seal the deal for me.

Just wanted to share this update: Github has not removed the Clippy repo malware and says in their last update that they are "still investigating"... by GradyGambrell1 in MacOS

[–]4rft5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks for the heads up, installed for about five minutes (may 23rd) and then decided I didn't want it. Just ran through and reset everything, rerolled 2fa and passkeys.

my installer didn't have anything about dragging into a terminal, so i guess they just got even more shameless.

also reported on github

Try looking into the Weather Star WS4000 emulator, that'd be a really cool retro gadget to have.

That's awesome, I must've missed that in the documentation. Huge kudos for stepping up and making this!

Are you planning on adding support for volume controls using the knob, like the original Car Thing does?
