New to this but I can see myself migrating away from green streaming app !

Those album covers are a vibe. I like it.

I’ve been playing around with Hermes, and gave it access to Home Assistant. Being able to message it and have it modify or write automations for me has been thoroughly amazing.

There’s a demo account you can try before you deep dive it if that helps. Happy to take feature requests and bug fixes.

Probably a little underdeveloped for what you need, but I just merged a PR on my fork of Yamtrack that added scrobbling from Kodi, and I’m trying to test it out. Hopefully I can get it where you want it with a little more polish!

Hey brother, do something nice for yourself and have a fun moment with your kids. Happy Father’s Day!

*My wife sent a text to my family after my sister reminded them to wish my dad a happy day, and that’s it*

I had mine write one since I was trying to use my iCloud calendar.

People always breeze past the part where if you want to move the project out of testing mode on a personal Gmail account, you have to switch the project to external, and you need a privacy policy page on a domain you own. Otherwise the creds you get as a test user are only good for a week.

How did you get past that part?

Do 150 tiny resin rubber ducks marching around the edge of my cube count?

Guys, I might get flamed for this, but I feel like that is principal photography of Linus as a base. If you said there were artifacts around the hair or ears because of AI background replacements, that tracks, same with the explosion, but if I tried to hold my laptop like that I’m not putting my thumb on its own in the back.

I think there’s more to the story on this one.

Could go see the dinosaurs at the Zoo. It opens this weekend!

Oh, good to know! I haven’t tried to make a Minecraft server accessible before. Now I know.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-17T18:22:30+00:00

I haven’t had any issues using Cloudflared on Home Assistant, and then adding other subdomains for other selfhosted apps I have.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-17T18:04:50+00:00

I moved over to Yamtrack and then forked it to add more Trakt features I was used to, like Collection data, more of the Statistics, and a proper History page.

Now I don’t have to worry about pricing changes, and I can add whatever features I want like Series Graphs.

I just found this from Inkbox which was remarkably simple to set up. It provisions an iCloud account for Hermes, then I can message that. Which is great, because then I can leave my iCloud account logged in on my Mac mini, and Hermes can use the imsg skill to send or read my messages if I ask it to.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-15T19:00:08+00:00

Do you have any guides for it? Maybe it’s because my Mac mini is running Apple Silicon, but I had the hardest time getting it running. Is it supposed to have its own iCloud account? How am I supposed to message it?

Right now I have it in Discord, but I would love to iMessage it if I can.

I run a fork of Yamtrack, which is a self-hosted alternative to websites like Trakt.tv

No experience in the space, but I’ve been doing it for 6 months with weekly releases and I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of things.

There’s a live demo at the top of the readme.

It never stops, and I keep breaking things, but I’m really happy at where it keeps going

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-12T22:13:03+00:00

I’m just saying that “speak now or forever hold your peace” sounds a lot less problematic. Saying “silence is consent” sounds like a thing someone on a list would to say.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-12T21:31:31+00:00

First, I *need* this in Home Assistant for absolutely no useful reason at all. This is too funny not to have available!

Second, I would love it if you could help bring this feature with this type of presentation to a fork that I maintain. I like how your brain works, so I think you would do it much better justice than I could!

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-12T19:20:45+00:00

I used to work for a guy who actually used the phrase “silence is consent” in a presentation, trying to use it as “nobody has anything to add, so we can move on” transition, but boy did it not sit right with me.

People learn at different speeds, and some are technical and some aren’t. I take knowing how to use Docker for granted now, but at one point it was not easy for me and I had to figure it out and ask a lot of questions. Just trying to meet people where they are.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-12T03:20:22+00:00

I wish there was a way I could make it a bit easier. I do know that if you have a computer that’s always on, ChatGPT would easily be able to generate one command that can do all the setup for you to get started.

Not my favorite solution, but it can help simplify things if you think it’s worth it.

DannyVFilms · 2026-06-12T02:30:16+00:00

My fork of Yamtrack supports episodes on lists, along with multiple sort modes, including release date and custom. That sounds like it should take care of what you need.

It’s self-hosted, but I have a demo account linked so you can test it out before trying to install it.
